LUKEVILLE, Ariz. (AP) -- Border agents have arrested an unusually large group of illegal immigrants in the western Arizona desert just north of Mexico.

Border Patrol Agent Eric Cantu said Wednesday that surveillance operators spotted a group of more than 100 people walking about 15 miles west of Lukeville, Ariz., Friday morning.

The ‘best minds in the country’ living behind doormen & in gated, guarded communities don’t have a clue about what is happening on our Southern border—but they sure know how to have an opinion about it.

To bad the border agents didn’t do this.This should get their attention.

A measure filed by State Rep. Lois Kolkhorst (R-Brenham) would allow any law enforcement agency that has custody of an illegal immigrant to take the illegal to ‘the office of a U.S. Senator or Representative’ and leave them there.

1200 WOAI news reports the measure also allows county sheriff’s deputies or city police officers to ‘request an agent or employee of the United States Senator or United States Representative to sign a document acknowledging the release or discharge of the illegal immigrant at the senator’s or representative’s office.

The measure covers individuals who are ‘not a citizen or national of the United States’ and who is ‘unlawfully present in the United States.’

Kolkhorst concedes the measure is a ‘cry for help’ to convince federal officials to secure the border, but she says she is serious about getting the measure approved by the Legislature.

The measure doesn’t specify what the Senator or Congressman is supposed to do with the illegal immigrant, but calls on the law enforcement agency to ‘maintain a record of each illegal immigrant released or discharged who is not transferred to the custody of the Untied States Immigration and Customs Enforcement.’

Illegal immigration has emerged as a top priority of the Republican super-majority in the Texas Legislature, and this is just one of several dozen bills introduced in Austin to deny jobs, housing, and government benefits to illegals.Several thousand people are expected to descend on the state capitol today to denounce the measures, and to call on the federal government, not the states, to handle matters related to immigration.

I’d never say such a thing about Big Sis on a public forum. But I believe this happened. Shhh.

They’re on their way to Wisconsin to protest against Gov. Walker. Then they will be handed teaching certificates later.
