The graphic is not entirely finished - I have a few more things to do to it before we put it on the T-Shirts and stuff. Stay tuned - it's going to be fun.

Bush wouldn't appoint any candidate to the BP that takes immigration and border control seriously. He have proven this over and over again.
Instead he's bragging about what a great job he's doing! Maybe if he opened the other eye he might see that he's doing a fantastically poor job.
I don't!
Ten days after he was sworn in, his name appeared on their web site as a member.
Surprise Surprise!
Don't you just love it, outcome based border control.
I doubt that the number of crossings has decreased in Eastern Arizona. Everything I see indicates a noticable increase in the number of illegals entering in Western Arizona.
Good Job Spiff, I couldn't get away to freep Comrade Grijalva when he was here Friday, one of these days I will have the opportunity.
The number of crossing has definitely increased in Cochise County just south of my house. Read this report about the civilian groups and how many of the wave of invaders they had apprehended last week.
BP agents are being purosely mismanaged so that they will apprehend fewer intruders so that Aguilar can show lower numbers and claim fewer crossing. He should be fired.
Somehow, we managed to get two people into the tour that were not invited who were able to set the story straight. Kolbe had handpicked ranchers from the Nature Conservancy to talk to the group and tried to keep real ranchers away. Here's a little more info about that:
From The Anderson Report:
David Aguilar is not only wrong, he is a willful premeditated liar.We will know the outcome of the Arizona border situation based on whether or not Aguilar is removed from his position.
The delegation spent some time on the border touring public lands and some private ranches: It was during the briefing session on the Ladd ranch that Mr. Hutchison was told the real facts by Erin Anderson and Richard Humphries. Their combined (and unscheduled briefings) totally destroyed the credibility of Kolbe, Grijalva and Aguilar.
Erin's comments were highlighted by:
1. Her denunciation of the Arizona delegation for their "thundering silence " in response to the murders of a US Border Patrol Agent and US Park Ranger and the loud message such a lack of concern was sending to illegal alien smugglers and drug traffickers. Such a negative message is also a great concern to local ranching families.
2. Her rapid fire and detailed report on the terrorist Al Qaeda associations that have been long standing in Tucson.
Richard's comments were highlighted by:
1. His denunciation of Kolbe's meddling in Border Patrol operations and Kolbe's denial of local checkpoints.
2. His illuminating report on the town of Altar, Sonora as a major smuggling staging point.
The briefings were supposed to be presentations by three area ranchers selected by Kolbe to ask for "guest worker programs" and "no use of the military on the border". As it turns out, the Kolbe-selected ranchers did in NO WAY represent the regional ranching community, but are mere pawns and mouthpieces for the Nature Conservancy.
Kolbe is such an arrogant politico that he thought that nobody would catch on to his scam.
All should be grateful to Sheriff Larry Dever for escorting Erin Anderson into the briefing and for faulty Border Patrol control for allowing Richard Humphries in also.
No local press was allowed into the briefings which is why there is no reporting in the press. Again, the media is clueless and that which they did report was pure pabulum.
We did more than protest this weekend, we infiltrated the controlled briefing and destroyed the false image that Kolbe, Grijalva, and Aguilar wanted to present.
Erin Anderson is on the left. The lady on the right is local rancher B.J. Kuykendall. I'm standing behind her holding my sign up facing towards the Naco BP Station.
Well, DUH!!!!!!
I think "guns" is the operative word here.
And I've yet to hear of any significant deportation of the illegals.
The biggest threat to this country is not from oversease but from our open border and the illegals in this country.
Only a moron, a psychotic, and/or someone who has vested interest or wants to destroy this country would support open borders.
Here's something Ben Anderson posted a couple of weeks ago.
http://www.azanderson.org/anderson_report_border_issuesArizona Statute allows for expanded law enforcement opportunities 11-442. Ranger deputies; appointment and compensation
By and with the advice and consent of the board of supervisors, the sheriff may appoint ranger deputies whose compensation shall be fixed by the board, not to exceed one hundred twenty-five dollars per month for each deputy for salary and expenses incurred. Every ranger deputy shall provide and keep at his own expense a means of travel to be used by him in the discharge of his duty.
This program could obtain funding from the Highway User Revenue Fund (HUR) in the same manner the Highway Patrol is funded. The only exception is HURF would only need to fund this program for the four counties that border Mexico.
Why are we not doing this in Cochise County in order to help deter illegal aliens, drug traffickers and potential terrorists?
Could not Cochise County, through which 1.5 MILLION illegal aliens pass each year, do more?
Could not Cochise County form its own volunteer Citizen Border Watch Group to deter the invasion?
Why not?
American citizens, including young Border Patrol Agents, are being murdered.
Business as usual?
Allow me to interpret this piece of sleazy double-speak: "Under control" means that the process is producing the desired results and that influences that are undesireable to the controllers (angry citizens taking things into their own hands) are less likely to change the behavior of the process.
It does not mean less border incursion by illegals.
