Recognizing the situation -- which 'Rat Governor Napolitano does not -- the state laws need to be changed on the subject of trespass, to strengthen the hand of property owners in conflict-ridden situations.

The State needs to recognize that there are two substantial problems here. One is drug smuggling by armed felons -- I don't think their presence on a person's land can be construed as anything other than a felony in progress, when they're a) transporting drugs and b) packing weapons c) across a national border in violation of customs, immigration, and possibly firearms laws as well (they commonly carry some automatic weapons).

The other problem is people-smuggling. Whereas the border-crossers themselves are arguably felons if they've been previously rounded up and deported, the coyotes most certainly are, so that when a large group of (say) over half-a-dozen people is encountered, then very likely at least one of the group is a coyote, and it is likely that a felony has occurred. Don't you think?

PRND21 is back - unbanned. Among his first acts upon being unbanned was to send me an unsolicited freepmail containing only a disparaging remark. In addition he posted to this thread and had it quickly removed by the moderator. So, he's back to his old tricks and didn't waste any time.

So, be warned.
