Stand With Arizona
More than 10,000 people in 24 hours viewed our video "14 Illegals in 24 Seconds", showing illegal aliens - most with large backpacks - easily moving over terrain near Tucson, 30 miles North of the border. Floods of illegals crossing the Arizona desert occur continually, thanks to the failure of the Federal government to provide secure border fencing or adequate border patrol agent numbers.
But what of the fencing that does exist in parts of Arizona? How well does that stop those determined to get in? Well this next video should give you a clue, and it is a disturbing one indeed. It shows Mexican drug smugglers using a simple car jack to push up a segment of a border fence like he's breaking into a self-storage garage, with mules carrying bales, presumably with drugs, under the opened segment. The smuggler then brushes away the footprints, and releases the segment like a screen door, to crash back into place from its sheer weight. Throughout, the smugglers laugh and joke about how easy it all is.
Watch:
And if it is this easy for drug smugglers to get their load into the U.S. even through erected fences, what about those who wish to bring far more dangerous material and personnel across the border? As the former DEA Chief recently testified before Congress, Iranian-backed terror group Hizbollah has been working with the Mexican cartels to gain access to their smuggling routes across the border, and to their network in 250 U.S. cities.
And terrorists have already come across our border, as an intrepid local news affiliate unveiled in 2010:

That looks like a union built fence.
I’m sick of this...Shoot, Shovel and Shut Up!
But, Arizona is not a border state /sarc off
Yikes, even the fence we fought for and spent so much money is proven to be a joke. It opens up like the screen on a combination storm window with just an old car jack.
If the fence doesn’t have razor wire, a mine field and guys as dedicated to protecting the homeland as the Israeli IDF, it will not stop these border jumpers. We need a real tough fence, ID checks at all US employers and another president in the White House real soon. Plus no welfare, schooling or free medical for anyone other than citizens and legal residents.
Border safer than it ever has been, as long as you live a few thousand milies away from it.
Nothing that 50,000 watts can’t cure
I like it....Can I get one ???
fench->fence
As noted on this thread, Hizbollah receives cartel cash and protection in exchange for Hizbollah expertise, such as explosives training - and the cartels have that cash to spend because the War On Drugs hyperinflates their profit margins.
Fight terrorism: relegalize drugs!
Land mines or IEDs would be helpful.
Ping. Remember our conversation about the border fence in Texas? We talked about all of the problems with building a fence and discussed some viable solutions. I saw a report today that 100 tunnels have been found in the past few years. This video shows yet another way they get around fencing. It’s crazy.
I remember Rick Perry getting hammered for it.
He did. People don’t understand the issues with attempting to build a fence across every inch of the Texas border. It just isn’t feasible for a multitude of reasons. Perry supports a fence where it is feasible and practicable, but understands that boots on the ground must complement any such attempt to secure the border.
Exactly. But he got hammered for it anyways. I've driven past many of these fences. Most of them are little more than a feel-good boondoggle that cost the taxpayers untold millions to build while doing very little to prevent illegal immigration (as this very instructive video clearly demonstrates).
It's a problem far more complicated than a fence can solve. Perry understood this. Too many voters from non-border states didn't.
