Mexican Cartels Control Parts of Arizona
My how America has changed. In the old days we would have called our best general, such as General Black Jack Pershing, and kicked a little butt along our southern border and possibly a few miles into our southern neighbor’s territory. Just a scant hundred years ago we would have enforced our sovereignty and protected our citizens. Now, however, we are but a mere shadow of our former self as a nation. Now, we simply post signs warning our own citizens that parts of our own country are too dangerous for them – us – to visit and enjoy. Some of our own ranchers cannot even enjoy and control their own property.
Sheriff: Mexican Cartels Control Parts of Arizona
The federal government has posted signs along a major interstate highway in Arizona, more than 100 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border, warning travelers the area is unsafe because of drug and alien smugglers, and a local sheriff says Mexican drug cartels now control some parts of the state.
The signs were posted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) along a 60-mile stretch of Interstate 8 between Casa Grande and Gila Bend, a major east-west corridor linking Tucson and Phoenix with San Diego.
In the old days there would have been a “shootin’ war” as we insisted on the respect entitled every sovereign nation-state. Now though, we have college professors developing cell phones to help illegal border jumpers. Now we have a federal government that will sue a State simply trying to enforce its sovereignty and protect its citizens, or checking the legal status of perspective employees during the hiring process, as we see in a story from the Dakota Voice and Washington Post:
U.S. files new suit on Ariz. immigration issue:
The Justice Department filed another lawsuit against immigration practices by Arizona authorities, saying Monday that a network of community colleges acted illegally in requiring noncitizens to provide their green cards before they could be hired for jobs.

It is as if the Federal government was ceding our territory to Mexico. Hmmm….
