“The reality is that if you place land and endangered species as a higher priority [than] border security, you get neither of those,” Rep. Bishop said.

Sens. Jon Kyl and John McCain, both Republicans from Arizona, called Monday for the immediate deployment of 3,000 National Guard troops to the border with Mexico and other steps to increase security.

Something’s very wrong when law-abiding, tax-paying citizens like Krentz, an AZ rancher murdered by illegal aliens, have to live in constant fear and get less protection from their own government than desert pronghorns.

As agents clear out Mexican gangs, more brutal ones move in – Drug cartels warn: ‘Shut up,’ or heads will roll. Sometimes, the heads are lined up neatly in rows, displayed along with banners designed to intimidate enemies, rivals and police.

Mexican drug cartels, emboldened by the Mexican Army failure to control its border cities, and more recently emboldened by Obama’s talk of a new amnesty for illegals, have extended their reach into the U.S.

The tragic murder of a Good Samaritan rancher in Arizona has people yelling for an effective response to this outrage.

Theft, robbery, vandalism and drug smuggling have always been part of illegal immigration in Cochise County, but murder is not something the cattle ranchers along the Arizona-Mexico border expected to happen to Robert Krentz.

Mexican drug cartels have already infiltrated the U.S. and are growing the “stuff” in the United States. Hence, legalization could have the effect of making these criminals into “legitimate” businessmen. “Big Marijuana” could join “Big Pharma” as another powerful special interest group. In order to be consistent, “Big Cocaine” and “Big Meth” would have to follow.

The government puts the brakes on a problem-plagued “virtual” fence on our border with Mexico. Whatever happened to the old-fashioned kind? If ever there was a shovel-ready project, this is it.

According to current and former officials of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Mexican cartels — most of them “family organizations” — have become the “delivery service” for cocaine that originates in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Venezuela. These “distributors” are now exporting their violence as well. According to the Department of Justice, cartel “hit teams” have carried out murders and kidnappings in more than 230 American cities. Phoenix, Arizona, seems headed for becoming the kidnapping capital of the U.S.
