I read\u00a0this<\/a>, and wondered for a brief moment if the story didn’t have some garbled copy – if it wasn’t talking about Afghanistan, or southern Mexico, or the Congo or something.<\/p>\n

No such luck (I’m adding emphasis):<\/p>\n

An area in south-central Arizona that was once a haven for family hiking and off-roading, now has signs warning of drug smugglers and human traffickers.<\/p>\n

Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu says that his department no longer has control over parts of his county<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At a recent press conference, Sheriff Babeu said, “We are outgunned, we are out manned and we don’t have the resources here locally to fight this.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is, in effect, an insurgency on American soil, on behalf of a foreign power (albeit not a soverign government – at least, not directly):<\/p>\n

Last month, Pinal County Deputy Sheriff Louie Puroll was ambushed and shot as he tracked six drug smugglers. Sheriff Babeu said the ambush mirrored military tactics<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But for God’s sake, don’t ask peoples’ immigration status<\/em>!<\/p>\n

In regards to Obama’s promise of 1,200 National Guardsmen spread out from San Diego to the mouth of the Rio Grande, Babeu added, “It will fall short. What is truly needed in 3,000 soldiers for Arizona alone.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

OK, open borders people;\u00a0 this is the wages of your lunacy.\u00a0 This is the big reward for casting away our national sovereignty; losing control of our nation, not just fiscally and politically and economically, but in terms of actually controlling this country so that it is safe for law-abiding Americans.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Question for\u00a0all of you who call Michele Bachmann and the Tea Partiers “seditious” for advocating limiting the power of government – are the Open Borders, anti-sovereignty people not even more, more directly seditious, since their policies lead directly <\/em>to the loss of government control over the nation is is charged in our Constitution <\/em>with defending?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
