Reef, the Mexican army special forces are escorting these b@st@rds across the border. The BP and Sheriff's deputies have been WAYYYY outgunned. They are using the guns and equipment our government gave them for drug interdiction to guard the deliveries. There is a video that was shown on Fox news of Mexican army trucks driving across the border, guarded by Mexican special forces, delivering bales of marijuana and cocaine. It is common here to see people in Mexican army uniforms crossing the border with groups of illegals. It really is out of control. This is an invasion, assisted by the Mexican government. Why can't the American people see this?
Because 98% of the US population don't live where you do. "Out of sight, out of mind." I almost ran over a pack of illegals 5 years ago while driving down Hwy 90 between San Antonio and Del Rio. It was late at night, and they were just strolling across as I came around the bend doing 70. What's hysterical is that just a 1/2 mile up the road was a US Border Patrol check stop! I had to stop in the middle of the highway and tell a Border Patrol agent that I was a US citizen. I told him what happened, and the guy just gave me this, "OK, it happens all the time, what do you want me to do about it" look, and told me to drive on.
I understand the reasoning behind the Arizona law. However, I can guarantee you it's not going to stop the illegals from crossing over. They'll just keep moving North or East to a state that doesn't care "Rocky Mountain High, Colorado!"
If you want to stop illegal immigration, you're going to have to go to extreme measures (ergo snipers on the border, land mines, etc.) Of course that's something the Humanitarians would never allow, and you'd probably start another US/Mexico war, with half the people who live in your town gunning after you.
