Phoenix police report that men dressed in full military tactical gear raided a residence in West Phoenix on Monday morning killing one person. They were prepared to engage local police. The police think the men were hired by a Mexican drug cartel, some of them are suspected to be Mexican military. The men were even sporting the same shirts worn by Phoenix police raid specialists. It's no surprise. It's been public knowledge how active drug cartels have been on the border and how determined they are to protect their "market." It still raises some questions:

A. Is this related to illegal immigration or is the drug activity completely separate? I think they are related.

B. If a Mexican drug cartel will brazenly engage American law enforcement, what does this say about us? Specifically, Congress watering down border fence legislation.
 
C. Could the timing of the raid be related to removing the national guard from the border?
 
D. If Mexican military are involved, is this an act of war?

E. If the federal government refuses to protect Americans, should those who are willing to protect themselves be shunned as vigilantes?

Legalize drugs and put them out of business. Problem solved.

Wow, aks, mark this on your calender, for once I totally agree with you. It would put the cartels and gang pukes out of business.
We can thank our government, starting with the mayo, governor, and on up for this.
It wouldn't happen with a real BORDER.

This is a HUGE story and the liberal press is trying to keep it quiet because it makes the illegals and Phillipe Gordon look bad. And yes, the three they caught were illegal from what I heard on KFYI 550 AM radio. The police think that three got away. This could have easily killed a half dozen or more cops.
We HAVE to take this illegal invasion more seriously. ALL police (Phx, Glendale, DPS, Mesa PD, etc) should be doing the same roundups as Sheriff Joe is doing.
Almost as big of a story is the liberal press trying to keep this story quiet. This story should lead every news cast. Are they protecting Phillipe Gordon? The illegals? They should be offering thousands of dollars for information about the three remaining pukes at large. Six Illegals dressing as cops, home invasion and killing someone, fireing 50-100 shots from semi automatic weapons, they try to ambush police, three of them get away are are still out there, and it isn't the top news story? There is a coverup. Here is a link to the KFYI web page that talks about this story. Make sure you click on the 3 pages of police documents.

dhw--perhaps now you wil realize that there are some things we are going to agree on and some things that we won't. But, there is never a reason to get all worked up about someone with a different view. Honestly, this site is getting kinda old because people just get too angry (well that and I started school again so I don't have much time).

I just watched the FOX 10 news at 9 PM. They didn't say a word about this huge story. Could they have been told not to cover the story so the public isn't affraid if a cop comes to their door? Maybe the are affraid someone will shoot a cop thinking the cop is really a home invader. Why the hush on this story? Anybody from FOX 10 want to answer?

aks--I agree that we disagree, don't you?
enjoy school
Ken, thanks for the KFYI link, I mentioned it in a news blog, also emailed Ankarlo at KTAR about it, this is too big to ignore.

Didn't Dog the Bounty Humter do the same thing in Mexico?

dhw---but you are kind of a dick about it. Especially when you went onto Alabama's site and tried to start trouble for the sake of starting trouble. I didn't care and just ignored it, but that is what I was talking about. You should just be ok that we disagree and not call me names.

And I am loving school already. i can't wait to use what I've learned to help my students next year. THanks.

It's no different than when the sheriff wants to go into other parts of the county to find people in the country illegally, and he faces protests. The laws of our country are being turned upside down and law enforcement is being portrayed as the bad guys. This would not happen in any other country.

When a country is a sovereign country, it means that its borders have a purpose. They restrict what can leave and what can come in. We don't send nuclear secrets to other countries and we don't let just any unidentified person waltz into our country.

The sheer numbers of human smugglers, drop houses and gun battles and murders associated with illegal immigration should be a wake-up call. This incident is just the next escalation of future troubles we face while our governor and Phoenix mayor turn a blind eye.

Even the chief of police in Mesa would rather allow criminal activity when it impinges on his personal ideology.

In the meantime, we not only have people entering our country illegally, but bringing weapons and committing homicide within our borders. When is it going to stop?

We all need to start emailing our "leaders" and demand to know what they are going to do about this. Here is a link to get their contact info:

aks--you've not been dealt anything you didn't deserve. Get over it.

This WAS a huge story even without the Mexican military angle. If KFYI hadn't covered it, it would have been no news. Don Imus could take a leak and it would get more press. Just illustrates what kind of politics we're dealing with in the valley. I'm glad no police were injured, but the attitude of valley "leaders" toward the border violence and crime is not in our favor.

Amazing. It couldn't be more obvious how dangerous the border problem has become. Meanwhile, Congress is still trying to vacate any commitment to defend the border, pro-illegal crowd still hasn't found anything constructive to do beyond whining about Arpaio, and John McCain is off campaigning in ENGLAND and CANADA of all places.

How silent is Phil Gordon these days! This mess is on his watch. Of course, nothing he could say would be helpful to him politically. And since he's got proxy Gascon belly-aching in his stead, he may not want to fuel the recall fire.

ANY ...> ..... Police Chief, Mayor, Governor or any Public Official who opposes or suppresses the LAWS of this Land and who,
by doing so, (by covering up crimes, leaking of pertinent legal information to any illegal group or by allowing or initiating the
crippling of 'our' lawmen from doing their sworn-duties) should be extricated from their offices.
They are not genuine law-abiding American Citizens/Officials, but are co-conspirators in crime ... guilty of UN-American Activities and Crimes.

If 'ANY' nation infiltrates Our Country
in ANY agressive Military Movement,
that is an attack on America.
That my friends: Is an ACT of WAR!

Officials need to do something! growing up in Miami we dealt with many murder problems and drug wars, these criminals were armed with AK 47 AR15 I mean these guys had more fire power than all the county Law Enforcement. Finally after like 20 years of over the roof murders and crime, they decided to give some local police officers Assault Rifles to defend their lives, point is a little to late now for that, Miami has gone to hell and its crime is just as bad as a third world country. We need to do something about this. It all starts at the border!!! how the hell do you get AK 47, when one goes through so much trouble to get a pistol!!! BLEEP!!!

Heres an idea i had always thought about, Phoenix only entry is through its main highways, if we cant stop smuggling at the border, why dont we start setting up Check points at interstates that come in to the metro area, i mean when you drive to california theres like 2 or 3 stops in the middle of nowhere , we should have them here. i know it wont stop everyone, but it makes it more difficult, let the desert take care of the rest.

As a US citizen I am outraged that our government has chosen to turn the other way while this is happening. They want to control my gun ownership and leave me wide open to people that traipse across the border at will. Fox will most likely never cover this story. Doesn't fit with the agenda that has allowed illegal immigration to reach the levels it has.

dhw--there was nothing to get over. Pointing out your character flaw of not being able to disagree with people without being a dick was all that I was doing. And, true to form, you showed your true colors. Whatevs.

to quote aksjfd: "Legalize drugs and put them out of business. Problem solved."

yeah.... that's the solution!!! wow!!! you are sssoooooo smart!! legalize cocaine!! heroin!!! lsd!!! methamphetamine!!!!!
after all, if drugs are legal, people will control their use of them, right??? just like ALCOHOL!!!!!
the solution to the border: PUT THE MILITARY ON BOTH OF THEM WITH ORDERS OF SHOOT TO KILL ANYONE TRYING TO CROSS!!! AND WATCH ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION END IN A FEW DAYS!!!!

Concerned about government and various current events, I started blogging to find how other people were thinking and to share my own thoughts. I'm most interested in politics, energy, and education these days. We are experimenting with life without a television, so I gather news from a variety of sources. Reading real books is a high priority too. It's amazing how informative they can be! I'm an east coast native who loves Arizona and the little bit of wild west that's left.
