It's a shame decisively confronting this issue couldn't have been included in the thread entitled 'Accomplishments'.

Again, simply due to the nature of cartels and the vast amount of money at stake.
Exactly, most illegal immigraton workers are doing agricultural, construction work, or other manual labor.

People need to separate illegal immigration from drug trafficing. However both problems are issues of BORDER SECURITY!

You got it!

The key to immigration is to force the employers to pay a living wage and hire Americans, lock them up for hiring illegals.
Drug Traffic is where thecrime is. Border Patrol brings tons in yet the demand is still great

Which border, the one I live on is gettting tighter by the day, enforcement has doubled in the last year

"Drug Cartels have control of parts of AZ"

Judging from the Governor's debate and press conference, McCain's unmavericking the maverick, I would say that it has to be true.

If you choose to follow what the Reverend Sun yung Moon tells you is truth, that's your problem.
There are signs near prisons that say do not pick up hitchhikers, that doesn't mean that the prison has been taken over by the inmates
I spend enough time in the desert and I know what I see
I also know why the signs were placed, in fact I knew before
they went up

I have every Border Patrol sector and Sheriffs office numbers in my phone and usually call them before I go
into an area then call them when I see something or someone that does not belong

Just some of the stuff I run across

Stolen Truck


Expired Papers


I CHOOSE to follow NOBODY and I have no problems
