I keep meaning to buy her book, but right now I'm afraid to read it as it hits too close to home.

Things have gotten just a bit weird here in Cochise County in the past few weeks. First, the Border Patrol quietly closed and dismantled the checkpoints on the highways leading to I-10. That gives any illegals or smugglers an unimpeded shot at hitting I-10 and all points east and west.

Border Patrol vehicles also suddenly became invisible. I'm used to seeing them constantly while driving, but now I *might* see one per day.

Meanwhile, I hear the Barnett brothers are catching twice the number of illegals they were getting last year.

I can confirm this observation. They've pulled up the checkpoints in Sonoita, Whetstone, Tombstone, and Elfrida. As far as I can tell - every checkpoint in Cochise County has been dismantled.

Border Patrol vehicles also suddenly became invisible. I'm used to seeing them constantly while driving, but now I *might* see one per day.

I can also confirm this observation. I used to see Border Patrol vehicles everywhere, usually with a car or van pulled over and illegals sitting on the ground waiting to be hauled away. I passed one or two daily on my way home from work. Now, they're nowhere to be found. I did see, last Wednesday evening, large number of BP vehicles parked in a parking lot on Ft. Huachuca.

Meanwhile, I hear the Barnett brothers are catching twice the number of illegals they were getting last year.

Roger Barnett himself has made this very statement. This last month they captured twice what they captured during the same month last year.
