Increasingly the Arizona border resembles an Iraq War Zone as Mexican Drug smugglers from Mexico invade Arizona, escalating their violence against state police and Arizona Citizens with automatic weapons. Mexican Drug Cartels like Terrorists in Iraq now use (road side bombs) to attack the Mexican police and military. It would be naïve for U.S. Citizens to believe Cartel terrorism—won’t spread to American communities. Meanwhile the press appears focused on reporting the many demonstrations against Arizona’s recently passed immigration law, S.1070 reporting that the new law will cause profiling of certain groups. Not addressing that issue here, I can’t help wonder to what extent passed. S.1070 might help Arizona police damage Mexican Drug Cartels that benefited previously from police being prevented during lawful stops, from determining if a vehicle’s driver and passengers were in the country illegally. It would seem Mexican Drug Cartels might certainly oppose the passage of S1070. It would be interesting to learn if Homeland Security or other U.S. Police agencies have evidence of Mexican Drug Cartels contributing money or other resources to defeat the enactment of S.1070. 

Saying that national borders are the same as a street gangs turf lines would mean property lines are just as unimportant, as they are also man made,in the same mind for the same reasons, don't cha know! . I would have to surmise the author is tacitly  saying "I don't worry about the man made property lines that define how much space I have for my house.  My imaginary property lines don't REALLY exist, so, burglars, come on in!" 

Don't try to put that one on me. I think we do have borders & they should be protected. It is just as illegal to sneak into my house as it into our country. To often we in AZ have BOTH issues to contend with.

 THANK YOU GOV. BREWER!!!!!
