Nogales Border Patrol agents were involved in a shoot out on Sunday North West of the city. The BP agents responded to a sensor that was tripped near the U.S./Mexico border and were greeted with fire from alleged illegal aliens...the illegal aliens were smuggling drugs and were armed with AK-47s. Once the Border Patrol arrived on the scene the illegals fired their weapons and BP agents returned fire. There were no injuries...Nogales Border Patrol spokesperson, Mario Escalante said the incident is under investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) is looking into the confrontation. “The shooting incident happened, but it is still part of an ongoing investigation so I can not provided further details..."

In a separate incident outside Tucson, Arizona, a man’s body was found with an apparent gun shot wound and his body set on fire in a known drug smuggling corridor.

A spokesman from the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said they received a phone call from Border Patrol agents who saw a vehicle drive into Ironwood Forest National Monument area near the location of the body. The BP agents said the truck looked suspicious and it didn't have any lights on in the early morning hours.

"They heard what sounded like a gunshot and then saw flames originating from the area. The vehicle left at a high rate of speed on Reservation Road. Border Patrol followed (the truck) but eventually lost sight of the vehicle..."

The deceased and burned body was identified by Pima County Sheriff’s Homicide team as Nael Alfredo Garcia-Moreno.

Fort Bliss has a training facility, but other functions as well. Fort Huachuca has Military Intelligence and the Signal Brigade. The original purpose of these forts was to secure our border with Mexico; Fort Huachua also functioned as a counter to the Indian threat.

I am not sure why you changed the date of the article in your original post.

Sorry, somebody in Arizona sent me the link and I didn’t notice the day. I certainly didn’t do it on purpose, if that is what you are implying. What would have been the point?

These days there’s illegal alien trails all over the base.

Actually, I was curious as to your reason for inserting the wrong date. I wasn’t sure if there was something in the article that you thought especially noteworthy in light of recent events involving the Arizona border patrol, and so you knowingly posted an older article, or if you read the article, didn’t notice the date, and inserted today’s date.

Here is an idea I’ve been mulling over called The Third Amendment. We should declare the border a war zone and then cite the Third Amendment to authorize quartering soldiers in homes on the border.

“I was thinking the BP agents need to spend more time at the range. This should have produced a head-count.”

The Oblama administration is probably issuing the BP blank rounds.

How long will the politicains bought by the globalists and racists keep up the open border ideology before Americans put a stop to it?

Really, if the red states pass enforcement leglislation like Arizona, the illegals will move to and overwhelm the blue states and then the country will be united in stopping the invasion. We need some seriously mugged liberals.

The Third-World War.

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

“The last time a BP agent actually shot somebody AND REPORTED IT the agent ended up in prison for 11 years.”

Hope you don’t mind the correction. (-;

Don’t mind at all. Your correction is duly noted.
