Arizona on offensive w/ new Immigration Bill

[Cat_Doc]

Unknown idiots smeared swastikas on the capital using refried beans last night. WTF?

[retdetsgt]

That's just the start. You can expect that 95% of the problems you will be having there will be caused by non Arizona citizens. You need to close the other four borders too.......

[Cat_Doc]

Yeah, we were talking about all the plausible scenarios. Was it White Power turds that did it, using the refried beans as an added insult? Was it protestors "calling" the AZ government "nazis" and they only had some beans to do it?
Was it WP turds trying to make them think the protestors did it, or could it be protestor turds trying to make it look like WP folks did it? Maybe it was the turd, Sharpton, hoping to stir up violence so he can get his ugly mug on in the media again at other's expense?

We also talked about how this is only the beginning of events that are likely to occur, with some scenarios having high violence potential.

I don't think we will have too many problems in our jurisdiction (knock on wood) but Phoenix and Tucson metro should be staying on their toes.

I would like to know what the NPS and BLM LE Ranger policy is on this subject. Arizona along with much of the west is federal land.

[Cat_Doc]

BLM calls us all the time when they run across smugglers, but the criminal stuff gets turned over to us. I think it is policy that they observe, call us and not try any enforcement by themselves.

Even Border Patrol calls us if they hit the blacktop, but they will handle things out in the boonies by themselves unless there is a shooting involved. BP has their own investigators to handle Officer Involved Shootings, but they normally give us a courtesy call to come out. I am not sure if that is national policy or just the working relationship we have with them in the county. BP will roll for us like the 7th Cav if we ask for help. I have a ton of respect for these men and women.

I'm not around any National Parks agents so I can't speak to that.

NPS Law Enforcement Rangers and BLM are considered LEO’s along with other agencies apart of the Department of Interior. I wonder why they would outsource the work to a state agency if they are trained to handle the same situations at FLETC.

The only people who are fighting this bill have the most to lose if it is put into effect.

So far I've already been told that I am racist because I agree with the Arizona bill.

And I'm in Texas.

What surprises me is that the unwashed of Portland haven't hit the streets disrupting life and damaging private property. They've demonstrated over less controversial things that this.

Hey, is it racism and profiling when Deputy Lopez, Deputy Ochoa or Deputy Santos enforces the law against those who are illegally entering the United States?

Just wondering how these protesters roll?

And to all the protesters, ESPECIALLY those who do not reside in Arizona; kiss my ***...not on the right side, not on the left; kiss it smack dab in the middle.

You do not live here, it is not you affected by the smuggling (dope and human), murder, rape, aggravated assaults and burglaries that are directly related to, and unequivocally committed by, illegal aliens.

As I have mentioned before, there is a very rich Hispanic heritage in Arizona. There are Mexican Americans, Naturalized Citizens, and persons complying with legal immigration who contribute greatly to society and the well being of Arizona.

To those; Arizona offers open arms.

Any person who has spent a considerable amount of time on the boarder can see the affects illegal immigration is having on the environment and the ranch land. The aliens are moving across the land in waves cutting through ranchers fence lines and leaving there trash and waste as they go. If you think for one moment I am blowing things out of proportion go Io the I-10 outside of El Centro near the Sulton Sea and take a look at the trails in the area. The Arizona law is a state issue but illegal immigration affects all boarder states.
