World Tribune ABU DHABI — The United States government, which has difficulty controlling its own borders, has agreed to help Saudi Arabia secure its dangerous border areas near Yemen. “It is a very rough border, very difficult to protect from illegal crossings,” U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said. In late May, Ms. Napolitano met Saudi leaders [...] Tom Tancredo The Mexican government continues to oppose enhanced U.S. border security while Mexican cartels smuggle thousands of criminals and terrorists into the United States. The Obama administration continues to tolerate this national-security nightmare out of fear of offending the Mexican government and its allies in the National Council of La Raza. Millions of Americans are asking, what’s wrong with this picture? Why is Janet Napolitano more worried about border security for Saudi Arabia than for the citizens of Arizona? It is important to understand the economic reasons behind Mexico’s hostility to border security. Mexico’s opposition to border security is rooted in the flow of money back to Mexico from the 20 to 30 million Mexican citizens working in the United States. Mexico wants that flow of dollars to continue and to increase. Mexico’s addiction to those American dollars – over $25 billion in 2007 – has led the Mexican government into an unholy partnership with the drug cartels. Both the Mexican government and the cartels want open borders, and they both paint the American concern for border security as racist and “anti-Mexican.” But there is more than the flow of dollars at stake in the debate over border security. What most Americans do not understand is that the drug cartels control both the drug smuggling and the human trafficking. The “coyotes” who take people across the border are no longer freelance operators; they work for the cartels, and the cartels set the prices and make the rules.

Secretary Napolitano has never patrolled one inch of the border, she has never made an arrest, she has never been shot at, and she has not been assaulted. She keeps repeating this mantra [...] Greta is a tool! Notice how she brings up and promotes Calderon supporting comprehensive immigration reform [...] Glenn Spencer American Border Patrol On Friday, May 14, I performed an aerial survey of the border in ABP’s Challenger II. The survey used two cameras, one normal resolution and one HD, and a Mobile Witness recording system which records video and GPS data. ABP’s video report is a continuous record of the entire [...] A good read! Grant Muioc I have always proclaimed the only reason to have any form of government is to provide protection to the citizens. It’s the only reason to have laws, live in a society or even individual rights. When the government fails to protect its citizens it calls into question the necessity of the government. A deadly Mexican border war led by drug lords has led to murdered and kidnapped US Citizens has led the state of Arizona to take action to protect its citizens. I support it, not just as a home and land owner of southern Arizona, but this is moral and ethical extension of what the government should do to protect its citizens. A Rasmussen Reports poll found 70 percent of likely voters in Arizona support the bill. 53 percent are worried that immigrants’ civil rights could be infringed in the effort to find and deport illegal immigrants. This is a classic case of blaming the wrong people for this entire situation. Nobody wants a legal immigrant who has moved to America to suffer any abuse or profiling. But none of this would be happening if there was real punishment and real deterrents keeping illegals out of the country. This bill has detractors, 30 percent of Arizona residents do not support the bill. They have real opinions and concerns, and I do not blame them. According to the Census Bureau, Arizona is home to 6.5 million people and 30 percent of them are Hispanic or of Mexican descent. This bill does represent a real concern that racial profiling will become a daily reality for these Americans. I do not mind Arizonans who speak out against the bill. They live here and this bill impacts their lives the most. I find it disgusting that some outsiders are trying to turn this awful situation into something other than what it really is. This bill represents the states last best hope to protect the Arizona citizens and legal foreign nationals that live within its borders from the crime that is imported from across the border. The detractors include all the usual suspects that need illegals to boost their numbers, including the liberals of the Democratic Party. These leeches only care about the illegal population because they hope to pass their own immigration law that will excuse the crimes of these people in exchange for their votes. Democrat Congressman from Illinois Luis Gutierrez said he wants the Department of Justice to be prepared to “go immediately to court” to stop Arizona officials from enforcing the law if it is signed. Why would this dickhead, who is not an elected official in Arizona, even consider it? 70 percent of Arizonans want this bill. Arizona has the right to protect its citizens from foreign criminals. Not according to Gutierrez, who would rather boost the number of illegals to boost his potential voting numbers. Gutierrez should just focus on his own corrupt state. The last time I checked Illinois had bigger problems to worry about than what Arizona is doing. Continue reading The Battle for Illegal Immigration Begins Erin Kelly Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano will announce “in the near future” whether or not she will send National Guard troops to help secure the Southwest border, the head of Customs and Border Protection told a key Senate panel Tuesday. “The National Guard is one option that’s under consideration,” CBP Commissioner Alan Bersin told the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. He was responding to a question from Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who serves on the panel. Bersin’s comments came the day after McCain and Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., announced a 10-point border security plan calling for the immediate deployment of 3,000 National Guard troops to the Arizona-Mexico border in response to continued violence by drug cartels in Mexico and increased crime reported by local sheriffs in Arizona border communities. The plan by McCain and Kyl calls for the troops to remain until the governor of Arizona certifies that the federal government has achieved control of the border. At the same time, the senators are calling for the federal government to permanently add 3,000 border patrol agents to the Arizona-Mexico border by 2015. Continue reading Napolitano to make National Guard announcement soon Penny Starr Law enforcement officials from the Arizona counties hardest hit by illegal immigration say they want U.S. troops to help secure the border, to prevent the deaths of more officers at the hands of criminals who enter the country illegally. “We’ve had numerous officers that have been killed by illegal immigrants in Arizona,” Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said Monday at a Capitol Hill news conference. “And that shouldn’t happen one time.” Babeu said the violence in Arizona has reached “epidemic proportions” and must be stopped. “In just one patrol area, we’ve had 64 pursuits — failure to yield for an officer — in one month,” Babeu said. “That’s out of control.” The recent murder of Arizona rancher Robert Krentz, who was shot to death last month on his own property, apparently by an illegal alien, also has fueled public outrage. Arizona Sens. John McCain and John Kyl, both Republicans, called Monday’s news conference to announce a 10-point plan to secure the border between Arizona and Mexico. They are requesting the immediate deployment of 3,000 National Guard troops and a permanent increase of 3,000 more Custom and Border Protection Agents along the state’s border by 2015. McCain, who faces a tough primary election against conservative Republican JD Hayworth in September, sponsored an immigration-reform bill in 2000 that would have established a guest-worker program and a “pathway to citizenship” for illegal immigrants. The bill was opposed by many conservatives. He also supported immigration-reform bills in 2006 and again in 2007. But on Monday, McCain was talking only about enforcement: “The lesson is clear: First we have to secure the border,” McCain said. “If you want to enact some other reforms, how can that be effective when you have a porous border?” Continue reading Arizona Sheriff Says Cops Are Being Killed by Illegal Aliens; Joins Call for U.S. Troops at Border Glenn Spencer Yesterday I had planned to fly American Border Patrol’s Challenger II along the U.S.-Mexico border south of the Krentz ranch, location of the now infamous murder. Due to mechanical problems (nothing serious), I had to fly our Cessna TU-206 instead. The Cessna was not configured to [...] Senator Harry Reid Senator Harry Reid of Nevada should be made a prime example of, in his delirious push for yet another Immigration Reform bill.
