BISBEE - Sheriff Larry Dever said Thursday that illegal immigrants are becoming more brazen putting the lives of Cochise County residents in jeopardy.

An extreme example of how dangerous the border situation has become is a Thursday morning carjacking, during which a woman and her daughter were assaulted at their residence by three Mexican nationals who illegally entered the United States, Dever said.

"They (illegal immigrants) are more desperate and obviously they don't care about American citizens," he said.

The Bush Amnesty Plan: A Tragedy in Three Acts
HUMAN EVENTS ^ | Jan 30, 2004 | William Buchanan
Posted on 01/30/2004 11:59:46 AM CST by Federalist 78

Many individual events have occurred during the Bush Administration's tenure. However, there is one theme that consistently flows through the administration's domestic security initiatives. It is an undisguised, almost obsessive effort to eliminate our southern border.

Complementing this endeavor is the one and only goal of Mexico's Fox administration—to drive as many Mexicans into the United States as possible. Bush's new "temporary worker" plan, in rapacious pursuit of cheap labor and votes, prefigures national self-destruction, while Fox seeks to maintain the corrupt and oppressive oligarchy that misgoverns Mexico.

Theirs is a tragedy (for us) in three acts.

Driver's licenses for sale? Possible security breach at DPS
12:57 PM CST on Friday, February 6, 2004
By BRETT SHIPP / WFAA-TV

Sources tell News 8 that some state workers in North Texas are compromising national security by illegally selling real driver's licenses to anyone who'll pay.

Billions of federal dollars are now being invested in post-9/11 national security, yet it's still possible to illegally obtain a real driver's license in North Texas from workers at the Department of Public Safety.

It's especially disturbing news in light of the fact that several of the terrorist hijackers of 9/11 got their driver's licenses the same way. Passenger checkpoints at airports are all but impassible without a government-issued picture ID – most often a driver's license. That alone makes such licenses very valuable.
