Don’t pay attention to our body guards.
The left is atwitter with revalations about how safe it is in Arizona and other border areas, attempting to deny that violent illegal immigrants are a problem in the region. Even the DHS Haus Frau, Janet Napolitano, is making this noise.
As usual, don’t bother listening to what they say. You should only bother watching what they do.
Luna County Sheriff Raymond Cobos said that beginning on July 26, deputies will accompany inspectors to the scales in a corridor that stretches southwest from Interstate 10 at Las Cruces to the New Mexico-Arizona border, along Luna, Hidalgo and Grant counties.
“It also helps the deputies become more familiar with the ranches and their particular layouts,†Cobos said. “It’s a benefit to all of us.â€
Cobos, who will coordinate deputies from the three counties, said the deputies will work overtime to accompany the inspectors and will be paid via federal assistance from Operation Stonegarden, a Department of Homeland Security program that gives 14 states along the border flexibility to use grant funding to enhance coordination among state and federal law enforcement agencies.
“It’s a safe way of providing their personnel with protection so they don’t encounter a situation that would imperil the equipment or their lives,†Cobos said. “It’s a relatively small cost to prevent a tragedy.â€
Exactly what would agents from a federal agency have to worry about, safety-wise, in that region if it is as “safe” as Napolitano claims?

Fine rhetorical question. Here’s the fine rhetorical answer: Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County. Doing nothing more than his duty, that gentleman has “earned” a $US 1M price on his head, payable by the narcotrafficantes.
Truck inspectors who might catch a truckload of invaders will get similar prices on their heads.
The border counties are in a state of war with Mexico, and the Federal Government is so desperate to NOT have that obvious fact get out that they are willing to mount this sort of disinformation campaign, which, of course, is belied by the very signs they posted on the Federal highways.
Opposing the invasion is NOT “racism”, and when liberals wake up to that fact (if they ever do), all those who have opposed sealing the border will have to pay with the termination of their political careers. That will include the politicos led by George W. Bush, as well as the current crop of lying Democrats.
