Maybe someone is finally waking up and is willing to do something.

PA-DA-PING!!!

"They (illegal immigrants) are more desperate and obviously they don't care about American citizens," he said

LOL! Excuse me for laughing. If the President of United States and the majority of Congress don't care about American citizens, why should the illegals? Give me a break!

[HiJinx]

The local (SE Arizona) press has done very little to help our Sheriff get the word out about the problems we have here in Cochise County.

Now that the truth is impossible to ignore, they're starting to come around.

I think Larry is about to draw a line in the sand...

Ping!

"They (illegal immigrants) are more desperate and obviously they don't care about American citizens," he said.

They were that same way here --- getting very violent until Silvestre Reyes started that Operation Blockade and then Operation Hold-the-Line and pushed many to try to come further west instead. Gangs were coming over, carjacking, blocking roads and smashing cars with occupants --- including children terrified inside --- so they could rob them. Violent gangs seem to be coming over more often lately in city limits --- breaking into schools and homes, stealing whatever they can. You can tell how secured the border is just by the crime rate here.

Criminal invader ping.

Get real, the Hitlery clone Gov. here in AZ will likely arrest the sheriff for arresting the perps.

We are under assault here in AZ and no one in authority at state or federal level gives a $hit.

The more the sheriff knows people are behind him, and will go to bat for him if the politicians try to kick him out, he will continue to come around and do his job. Write or call him and say, "Thanks!" Also newspapers respond to letters, too.

I hope people in Arizona will unite behind the conservatives who are now becoming serious about dealing with illegals. I think many people are finally waking up and finding that their state is going to belong to Mexico soon, unless the politicians get a fire built under their no good hind-ends and start to fight with you not against you.

You and I discussed this on the phone during our initial phone call. You said it would take two years or more for the buggers to get this bold. I wonder what Devers estimates at the time were? Fifteen years?

This is almost like the VC guerilla attacks. Time to put trip wires and claymores on the property lines. (with no warning signs)

[JackelopeBreeder]

Believe me, Larry knows he has the support of his county.

The man has a big job. Cochise County is roughly the size of the state of Connecticutt and he only has 75 deputies. Might be time to revive some of the ways of the Old West.

[glock rocks]

thanks for the ping, B4.

Damn. Time is getting short.

Hang in there, Jackalope Breeder.

[glock rocks]

Might be time to revive some of the ways of the Old West.

my state allows the use of lethal force to prevent a carjacking... how bout AZ? Of course, if you've got 40-50 of em heading towards ya...

[4.1O dana super trac pak]

I hope the "immigrant rights" activist don't come calling.

[JackelopeBreeder]

I have never seen it this bad on the border. A year ago if I went out stalking, I had only a 50-50 chance of finding any illegals. Now it's just a question of how many.

We need more Border Patrol, though I doubt we'll see any meaningful reinforcements here. Maybe Larry should go back to the old posse system and hand out badges; no more of the dilly-dong BS about citizen's arrest.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Agreed 100% Further, the illegals will become even more brazen.

[philetus]

What about volunteer deputies?
