I guess it’s also a “human rights” issue when police stop a drunk driver and request a breathalyzer test.

Maybe someone should consider the human rights of US citizens living in Arizona.

Signs in Arizona warn of smuggler dangers - Washington Times

Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu, whose county lies at the center of major drug and alien smuggling routes to Phoenix and cities east and west, attests to the violence. He said his deputies are outmanned and outgunned by drug traffickers in the rough-hewn desert stretches of his own county.

"Mexican drug cartels literally do control parts of Arizona," he said. "They literally have scouts on the high points in the mountains and in the hills and they literally control movement. They have radios, they have optics, they have night-vision goggles as good as anything law enforcement has.
"This is going on here in Arizona," he said. "This is 70 to 80 miles from the border - 30 miles from the fifth-largest city in the United States."

He said he asked the Obama administration for 3,000 National Guard soldiers to patrol the border, but what he got were 15 signs.

Because anything that may stop an illegal from being here unemcumbered by laws violates their "rights" it seems.
