PHOENIX – Federal prosecutors in Arizona say two illegal immigrants from Mexico have been indicted after they were found to possess a combined 222 assault rifles and five pistols that authorities say were headed to Mexico.

When the AP uses the word "immigrant," they really mean "illegal alien."

A legal immigrant is just a citizen.

The media likes to complain about guns going from the US to Mexico but usually doesn’t care to limention that they are being transported there by illegal aliens.

Trumpeting these illegals with 200+ guns is nothing short of a Cover Up by the BATFE for their own incompetence. Project Gunwalker.

Can’t be Project Gunwalker weapons. At least not if the ATF was in on the bust. They just let their straw buyers flee the country, after killing Border Guards, that is.

Lots of legal immigrants are not citizens.

The whole gunwalker affair stinks, Hope Grassley keeps going. For now I will assume this is also an ATF showboat operation.
