4 Found Shot To Death On a Highway
ARIZONA Authorities are combing the desert looking for clues and suspects after a deadly shooting spree in Arizona. It happened on Interstate-10 near the town of Casa Grande Southeast of Phoenix.
The Arizona Department of Public Safety says all the victims and people who have been arrested appear to be illegal immigrants. The shooting occurred as some of the vehicles were moving down the highway. There is speculation that the shooting may have involved rival smuggling operations.
Details are very sketchy so far, but four people are dead and three others wounded. The Arizona Department Of Public Safety says Highway Patrol Officers received a call about a wounded man next to the highway. There were other reports of people running into the desert. When they arrived they found three bodies inside the pickup. One was lying on the ground outside the pickup. Two victims were found hiding under a tree nearby.
A few miles away from the accident border patrol agents tracked down four people. It is not known at this time, if they are suspects in the shooting or ran into the desert to escape harm. Sheriff's SWAT officers in an armored personnel carrier showed up to help guard and transport the four men. According to a spokesman for the Department Of Public Safety, all the people appear to be illegal immigrants.
The border patrol would only confirm for ABC7 Eyewitness News that its agents were on the scene and involved in the investigation. However DPS spokesman Frank Valenzuela tells Eyewitness News that the shootings occurred as the vehicles were moving down the highway.
A van blacked out windows and two of them broken out was found a short distance away. Valenzuela says a Ford Explorer was stopped near Phoenix with several people in it including a wounded woman.
Gila River Tribal Police found the van and there were five or six people running from it. There is a search underway in the desert for any other victims or people connected to the incident. The Penal County Sheriff's Department is now leading the investigation.

When I first heard this I figured it would be illegal aliens. This is one of the reasons we don't need amnesty.

Thanks to more than seven decades of lunatic left-wing "liberals'" ownership, operation and control of every lever of "our" feral-gummint's power to protect, armed criminal alien invaders and the mass-murder of those who displease them are now the norm.
God save my America!

It will be spun into a reason for amnesty. They will say that "this will all end" if only we will just abandon all our laws, all our borders, etc. The usual "let us invade your country or you're all racists" crap.

The head Mexican Senor Fox is visiting Phoenix today. Marine Inspector posted at another forum and said that children were there singing for Fox, and he asked them to stop and had them removed. Hard to believe he was so rude.
To: Sabertooth
Well, at least there's a wounded survivor to tell what happened. Then again, she may not spill the frijoles at all if her tongue was cut out.

To: Brian Allen
Any of the BP types in your ping list can tell you this is the ordinary day-to-day mayhem they see on the Mexican side and to some extent on this side of the border.
The difference now is that the smugglers consider the U.S. to be weak, so they no longer fear something like having an ordinary shootout on I-10. Thirty years ago they wouldn't have dared.
And that means that this will become the norm in the U.S.
Just like Mexico. Isn't "biculturalism" grand?

To: janetgreen
Hard to believe he was so rude He's a Caudillo, albeit a modern one. Showing stern disregard for other's feelings will, to his mindset, show that he is strong and they are weak and insignificant.
Mexico is a primitive society based on aggression and unfeeling force. The laws are a farce that everyone ignores. Only a cycle of intimidation and tribute make the society operate (I won't say "work" because that implies some sort of civil success).
And Fox is on the ropes. Because of PRI control of his legislature, such as it is, he cannot change things significantly. So he has one hope, and one hope only: get the United States to change. That's probably easier than changing Mexico. All he has to do is allege racism by the Americans and that's it. They roll over and grovel to him.
Pretty amazing that he can get away with crap like that, considering his Irish-Spanish ancestry. Not exactly a Mestizo himself.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1014509/posts So if you believe freeper paulklenk - that illegals are just honest hardworking and deserved citizens of the US then you cant believe this post that they might break our laws and murder each other - it just doesnt make sense. Oh man, I am questioning my metrosexual-lilly white-liberal elitistness.

Does Fox want us to have open borders from now on? He's going to be in NM tomorrow, visiting at the invitation of governor Richardson. This is probably going to cost us.

The laws are a farce that everyone ignores. Mexicans live with this farce in Mexico, and bring this attitude with them to America. Our government rolls out the red carpet to them despite the fact that they break our laws. I think that makes our laws a farce too, only American citizens have to follow the law, not illegal aliens.
To: Sabertooth
These thugs are all the same
They always mistake compassion for weakness
And then exploit the opening..
In the case of the USA and its liberals..
They are not mistaken
The illegal invaders will continue their exploitation
Until they are stopped by a firm hand...
The longer we wait the more ruthless we will have to become
in order to be effective...
And the more unpalatable the action will be to the masses
And all the more the liberal socialist anti American media
bent upon our destruction
will also exploit the issue...
Making America an easy takeover...

Aren't you supposed to ping someone if you dis them? I don't know what your previous discussion was, but I'd agree that most illegals are hardworking, and keep to themselves. I have met and gotten to know many, and yes, they are human. Most are honest--just like most American citizens are honest and hardworking--except for the glaring fact that they BROKE OUR LAWS to get here. Because of that, they don't deserve to remain here, unless they lay some kind of penance.

Since infiltrating the United States is not currently treated as a crime, it is unclear to me whether or not this will be treated as a crime, either.
Does anyone happen to know which laws we are selectively enforcing today?

I heard the other day Fox was coming and wondered why he was not greeted with protests?
To: janetgreen
Mexicans live with this farce in Mexico, and bring this attitude with them to America That's really the primary reason I'm so opposed to what is happening now. It's one thing to talk about a steady, controlled stream, with a hard line assimilation process. But with millions coming, assimilation is impossible. And so the ideas and attitudes in our government will shift towards theirs, as they elect more and more of their ethnicity to public office. Note that the peculiar "compelling interest" that Justice O'Connor asserts we have in ethnic diversity turbocharges this process, propelling far more Mexicans into American government then their electoral numbers warrant.
And so we get the corruption and incivility of Mexico in our city and state governments. Think of it as a virus in the body politic...
To: Bikers4Bush
A very high electrified (think bug zapper) chain-link, barbed wire fence, built by the illegals themselves when they're caught. When the fence is done, deposit them on the other side of it and turn on the juice. End of problem.

It happened on Interstate-10 near the town of Casa Grande Southeast of Phoenix. Actually it happened a lot closer to the edge of metro Phoenix. Casa Grande is a good 20 minutes drive south, even allowing for the 75mph speed limit.

All he (Fox) has to do is allege racism by the Americans and that's it. That would be rather hypocritical of Fox considering the fact that he heads a country that is 93% Latino. You can't find very many countries that are as racist as Mexico.

Hmmmmmmm. Rival smugglers. I was not aware that the demand for strawberry pickers was at such an all-time hi.
Do you suppose if this continues the price of produce will go up?
If these idiots stayed on their own side of the border they'd be alive today.

I heard on the new the Riggs Rd. exit. I'm just north of there at the Chandler Road exit and they evidently locked down some of the schools in the Ahwatukee area when some the District called and told the schools they were looking for the shooters.
My daughter brought a letter home from school explaining what had happened.
Last I heard the incident involved coyotes, kidnappings and illegals but I still haven't hear all the details yet.

Sorry, I obviously meant Chandler Blvd. I think I still had Riggs RD stuck in my head.

There are numerous Freepers who say that they would like illegals deported but when someone like a Tancredo comes along and actually wants to do it, they smear him and then cry that its against the law to put troops at the border. I'm not going to name names put we all know who there are.

I just dont see how anyone with a SCRAP of sanity can buy off on multi-culturist. Or diversity or diverse cultures interacting or any of the other BS communist agenda attempts at Balkanization of the u.S. No one else does it. Do we see the Japanese diluting their culture by, oh
. lets say
importing a bunch of Nigerians? NO. Do we see the American Native Nations selling off land to
ummmm
.. Libya? NO. Do we see MEXICO paying the medical bills for Germans that are pouring over their southern border?? ? ? HELL NO. And who could possibly not recall the noble efforts at Diversity by the Democratic Republic of the Congo at educating their grade school age children on the fascinating cultural traits of Norwegians ? ? ?
Why? Because each of the above mentioned mono-cultures, Japanese, N. American, Mexican, Congolese, all have a singleure race-oriented culture and they do not commonly mistake well rounded education for cultural / racial suicide.
However, in the sick and twisted minds of the somewhat less than brain-dead liberal (communist) agenda democrats, this is just what the western European culture MUST have or we are raciest murders that would prefer watching children under the age of 6 slowly die of starvation. They are so sick in the head that I doubt these individuals would be satisfied if all white USA citizens leave their homes with nothing but a Tee-shirt on their back and they could first run multi-decades of work into the ground and totally pi$$ away anything of one scrap of value, Rhodesian style. This includes ALL culture, truthful history and proper sense of values. Then there is the encouragement of cross-race families that are little more than glorified high school style prolonged dating. These usually end with the spawning of crying incoveninet children that comprise a vast majority of currently trendy statical categories. This is gleefully referred to by the dumber-than-river-rocks crowd of liberals (communists) as modern, diverse and culturally expansive. My name for it implies an origin consisting of warm, steaming fertilizer.
But hey, its Pee-Cee and it will shut up a pinheaded illegal. Hell, it might get them to vote!
