Armed Mexican Drug Cartels Control Parts Of Arizona
Before Its News ^ | 06/24/10

Posted on 06/24/2010 5:39:51 AM PDT by AtlasStalled

A Mexican drug cartel has issued an ominous death threat against police officers in Nogales, AZ who seize their illicit product as reported by Sean Alfano for the Daily News:

Police Chief Jeffrey Kirkham said his officers received threats a couple weeks ago after off-duty police busted a pot smuggling ring. * * * Just which cartel made the threat remains unclear. Violent warnings toward American police are not new, but the Nogales incident marked the first time U.S. officials confirmed a threat.

The Sinaloa cartel controls the smuggling routes along the Arizona-Sonora border, and in early 2009 its boss Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman "ordered his traffickers to use deadly force to protect loads passing through U.S. territory" as reported by Jonathan Clark for Nogales International. Meanwhile, the Mexican drug trafficking organizations have established permanent base camps "in strategic locations in the hills of southern Arizona from which their scouts can monitor every move made by law enforcement officials" as reported by Adam Housley for FOX News.

Earlier this month federal authorities closed U.S. park land in three Arizona counties along the Mexico border because it is no longer safe after the American territory was taken over by the violent drug cartels. President Obama has stated that he will refuse to provide border security until Republicans cave in to his demand for universal amnesty for the approximately 11 to 18 million aliens who already have illegally crossed the border into America.

Y’all don’t expect that weakling in the White House to do anything about it, do you? Lock and Load folks, we’re on our own.

Even the Mexican Drug cartels see Obama as a weak and irrelevant president. No wonder Mexican troops assist the Cartels in moving the drugs across the borders

Let me get this straight, during World Wars 1 & 2 we held our country safe from invasion. During the Afghan/Iraq wars we allow Mexican gangs to overtake parts of America.

Impeach this buffoon in the white hut. Enough is enough. Failure to protect our borders is inexcusable... as is so much of what Barry has done to our Country.

Where is the Little President (Calderone) when we need him with his big mouth ,and his so called Army.

Obama should reappoint McCrystal to Arizona to clean out the DRUG COCKROACHES who have invaded Arizona.
Obama doesn’t have the Balls.
McCrystal would have them out in about 20 minutes.
Can anyone imagine, Foreign invaders taking over land in America.
Obama has abrogated his OATH of Office !!!

I don’t expect it but it is time to resurrect General Pershing and send him south. Pancho Villa’s descendants need to meet him.

Guzman "ordered his traffickers to use deadly force to protect loads passing through U.S. territory"

Should read:

Guzman "ordered his traffickers to use deadly force to protect loads passing through FORMER U.S. territory"

Until we take it back... it's not American territory. Anyone doubt the Mexican flag has been planted on that piece of real estate?

Too bad there’s no cheap way to take the huge profits from drug smuggling away from these people so that they couldn’t finance these gangs anymore.

I think this problem started before he was elected.

George Bush didn't see anything wrong with the drug cartels taking over the southern border. He even prosecuted law enforcement officers for disturbing the traffic. Maybe Obama is just showing his bipartisanship by continuing the Bush policy.

I guess we need less bipartisanship and more constitutional government. What can we do to get it?
