About 3,500 acres of southern Arizona have been closed off to U.S. citizens due to increased violence at the U.S.-Mexico border, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The closed off area includes part of the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge that stretches along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu told Fox News that violence against law enforcement officers and U.S. citizens has increased in the past four months, forcing officers on an 80 mile stretch of Arizona land north of the Mexico border off-limits to Americans

By the time they actually do build the fence, it'll be between Phoenix and Scottsdale.

You’re right. It’s the first step in ceding territory back to Mexico.

Ooooh, this infuriates me.

Just got into it this morning with some nutjob liblady on Facebook over AZ. She bleated the usual complaints (racist, unAmerican, “papers please”, wahhhhhh). Never gave one specific, never answered one of my assertions regarding the rights of the citizens of Arizona. But did a good job stomping off with her crayons when I pointed out that those opposing AZ have an agenda that is opposed to our laws & sovereignty.

They won’t build the fence. Not because it wouldn’t work, but because it would.

Our government has ceded a part of U.S. territory to drug smugglers, and is warning Americans to stay out — of an area for which taxpayers provide the upkeep. What kind of cowards/traitors/incompetent boobs are running this show? What kind of a tin ear does it take to make public such a warning? Local, state and federal authorities: They have all given up and are just submitting to the drug traffickers. FOR SHAME. Several thousand men out there with guns, hunting “rabbits” might make a difference.

Good opportunity to show a profit.

Have the Park Service sell open season hunting licenses to any (proven) citizen (Must wear special hat) and stipulate that the only game to be kulled must be two legged and larger than 3 feet tall and not wearing specified hat.

Outrageous!

Instead of closing the area to US citizens, they should be sending troops...and I don't mean the National Guard.

This is the real reason for the second amendment;

And the reason the political class wants to eliminate the second amendment.

I agree...They should do a sweep then occupy part of it as a training facility. How about creating a base on part of the park??
