Pinal County Arizona Deputy Shot By Illegal Immigrants in Desert (Amazing Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, April 30, 2010, 9:56 PM
A Pinal County deputy was shot by illegal immigrants and drug smugglers during a patrol Friday south of Phoenix. At least one of the illegal immigrants has an AK47 because he used it to shoot the deputy.
–Video captured the injured deputy being rescued.
My FOX Phoenix reported:
A Pinal County sheriff’s deputy is recovering after he’s shot by a group of suspected illegal immigrants and drug smugglers Friday during patrol south of Phoenix.
It happened during patrol on the I-8 west of Casa Grande and south of Phoenix. The deputy radioed in to report he was shot in the abdomen with an AK-47 assault rifle while in a desert area, Pinal County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Tamatha Villar says.
Villar says the deputy found several bales of marijuana and approached a group of five suspected illegal immigrants when he was shot. Two of the five suspects were armed.
The deputy stayed on the line with authorities to help guide them to his location. A DPS Ranger helicopter with a paramedic landed and airlifted the deputy to a hospital. He is reportedly in good condition.
The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office tactical team are also searching for three more suspects, who fled. So far, two people have been caught.
KTAR has more on the shooting.
Related… Rush Limbaugh blasted the Obama administration and other critics of the Arizona immigration law for being anti-police and ignoring the role that the rising tide of crime linked to illegals played in the formation of the law.

Our retirement home is in AZ City—right next to Casa Grande. This “incident” occurred in the vicinity of Hwy’s 8 & 84—less then 10 miles from our house. We were there over the weekend returning Tuesday. Monday night—while driving on Hwy 10—-we saw several police in hot pursuit—-and they ended up surrounding a house in our development less then a half mile from our house. So, all I have to say about all those idiot libs, Hollywood dopes, etc, etc………what about our US rights? Who is going to protect us from this violence? How can we ever relax in our retirement home? Will our property value ever recover given our house is located in this major smuggling/mayhem war zone? Maybe the government should buy our property to house the border patrol and/or national guard? Anybody who objects to us wanting our protection under US law ought to put some of their own lives or property on the line. Or, let them start a fund to buy back our property.
Amen.

Since the sheriff of Pima county stated he ‘would not’ enforce the immigration law it makes one wonder just how many other laws the top county law enforcement officer’s are not enforcing.
Can the wounded deputy sue the dept of homeland insecurity and the POS POTUS? It’s evident they contributed to the shooting by failing to enforce the laws and supporting the Mexican criminals. Then the socialist democrats are noted for supporting the enemies of America. They have did this since Vietnam and some (Hanoi John ‘traitor’ Kerry) of the leaders of the support are now in congress.
Sandy commented:
Thank you SM Illinois. I am so sorry about what you are going through. I never knew about this before because the media chose to ignore it. You know what’s wrong with Liberals — they feel good when they think their doing something for the downtrodden. The fact that they are destroying this great nation in the process means nothing to them.
Bud Selig, the Baseball Commissioner has decided not to allow the All Star Game to be played in Arizona this year. What a jerk he is! If the violence by illegals impacted his fancy neighborhood I wonder what he would say. Even the idiot who runs Mexico is furious at Arizona. This man should be ashamed that millions of his citizens are running away from their country.
We are condemned to live in interesting times when hard working Americans are trashed in favor of illegals. I thought Illegal meant against the law — silly me…
Opaobie commented:
Hey, Connie Mack and Rick Perry, was the Arizona sheriff’s deputy wearing a NAZI uniform? These criminals are coming to YOUR states, too…too late, they are already there.
Maybe Obama’s SWAT teams can break away from covering little old ladies in Illinois and inspecting oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico long enough to give Arizona a hand.
SM-Illinois commented:
Thanks Jim, Sandy and all for understanding our real life situation. We’ve worked our entire lives, in early 60′s, getting ready to retire to AZ. We’ve spent our live’s savings paying off our retirment home in AZ City and here in Illinois. But, our retirment home in AZ City is in a war zone. One of the AP reports about this incident mentioned that 80% of the drug/human trafficking goes thru the Hwy 10 & 8 corridors. We can’t even relax in our own retirement home—-or actually be on hwys 8 & 10 or any of the other roads without considering that we have major wars going on around us. People driving by, in the desert—in our back yards crawling around with AK 47′s. So, do you think these people are safe to be around? Our property values tanked—and most likely will never come back. Who would want to retire in a war zone?

This administration and the far left liberals don’t give a $hit about us nor the people charged to protect us. It seems they believe the illegals have more rights then American Citizens, especially police.
I could not find one word on this in Huffpo.
Brad S commented:
SM-Illinois,
Are you willing to give your story in front of a TV camera? Because, frankly, no one is going to believe you unless you’re willing to be interviewed live.
It’s unfortunate, but true: Video, or your story is shaky. While it’s great to see that the local FOX station put the aerial video coverage on air (much to the consternation of the open borders freaks), you can’t rely on media to stumble upon things like this all the time.
SM-Illinois commented:
Brad S,
What part of my story is shaky? We own a house in AZ City—-we were just there over the weekend—there are no doubt police reports that document the crime rate. Are you talking about us watching the cop cars zoom past us and circle a house in our neighborhood???
SM-Illinois commented:
Brad S,
Didn’t it make national news about a month or so ago where Hwy 10 at Casa Grande was shut down for a truck or trailer of illegals being in an accident. These incidents don’t always make national news—but start paying attention and you’ll see.

In 1998 my LEGAL IMMIGRANT friends were thrown out of the country because their sponsor had a tax problem; Bill Clinton was president.
She is Danish, he is Italian and they lived Lower East Side NYC eight years having never broken the law themselves. In that eight years their son was born on American soil.
Here is how our government treats Legal Immigrants -they send a letter informing the Legal Immigrants that they must leave the country, end of story. My friends retained an immigration lawyer but to no avail.
A year later, after being thrown out of the country, their marriage ended
Perhaps if my friends had been ILLEGAL then then all the ‘religious institutions’ would have come to their defense.
Perhaps if my friends were ‘Latino’ or ‘Hispanic’ then Democrats would have worked to secure their ‘human rights’.
Perhaps if they had simply walked across the southern border, rather than following the legal path, they’d still be in America with their family intact.
The sickening part is that many well-established ‘religious institutions’ are using God and racism to justify their own lawlessness.
Where is the moral clarity, the moral conscience of the leaders of our religious institutions?
http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/guestvoices/2010/04/arizona_immigration_reform_and_christian_values.html?hpid=talkbox1
Why are people of faith using God to say that Illegal Immigrants must be recognized as Legal Immigrants because “If Christ welcomed me unconditionally should I do any less with others? Silence is not an option.”
And what are ‘Brown Evangelicals’ and ‘White Evangelicals’? when did religious institutions begin RACIALLY PROFILING God’s children into Racist groupings?
I am beginning to understand how 50% of weekly goers in the Sanctity of Life Church were able to vote for a man who advocated that a baby be forced to die even if the baby survived the initial abortion because it fulfills the original intent, that being, exterminate the baby.
Perhaps it is self-serving piousness at the expense of moral conscience?
John Gargano commented:
Every group of immigrants that came to here in the beginning of the last century came to become Americans. The latest waves from Central America have no interest in assimilation. They do not value American citizenship. Instead, they want to carve out their own ethnic enclaves and create their own civic institutions and then kick US out. They want to practice ethnic cleansing because they hate us. THEY are the HATEFUL people in this conflict.
They have little interest in pursuing education as a means of advancing their social and economic class status. This can be seen in the fact that in our major cities their drop out rate in high school is near 50%! They have little interest in even communicating with us as can be seen with their resistance to learning English. They have filled our prisons with criminals trafficking in drugs and gangs having turf wars on our own streets They have filled our hospitals – bankrupting our healthcare system – to our detriment.
Watch them in the next few days as they demonstrate in our streets with arrogance, defiance and a lack of respect for America. Watch them waving foreign flags, especially the flag of Mexico. Watch them put forth their own identity with such vigor, it shows they have absolutely no interest in our culture. Watch them call us hateful names and demand rights they never had where they came from.
Our government has let us down by letting in so many defiant people with impunity. Our own government has allowed them to cultivate their hate for us while we supported them with generous benefits and affirmative action. These people have no ability to process criticism because their egos are so fragile. They know they will be a permanent underclass because they reject every value that brings about advancement in America.
Irrespective of the extent to which our government continues to fail in the enforcement of our own laws, we can fight these people economically. Let them demonstrate in the streets. Then, after they have made their disgusting demonstrations of contempt for us, our laws and our culture, we need to demonstrate our economic strength against them. We now need to STOP eating in their restaurants, STOP hiring them and STOP patronizing them in any way. WE need to boycott THEM. We need to stick it right back to them with our superior economic power if the government won’t enforce the laws WE can enforce the laws of the ECONOMY. We need to start taking care of America and drive these people OUT!

You and I just don’t understand. We did not get the memo.
Virtue is sin. Sin is virtue.
The common good, justice, peace crowd (working on post-doctoral degrees in moral superiority) that looks down its sanctimonious nose on the rest of us has a DSL line to the Holy Spirit (HS).
HS told them that the Commandments against stealing and coveting thy neighbor’s goods were repealed by majority vote of the peole in Hell. Plus, by unanimous vote, the people in Hell decided it’s okay to hate rich people because they have money and you don’t. And, it’s okay to vote for unborn baby extermination if the mass unborn baby murderer, hopey/changey candidate hates rich people and promises to steal from them and give to you, er, I mean redistribute . . . .
There, I think I got that part of it. And, I don’t even have an MA in philosophy or theology.
PS: The people in Hell far outnumber and outvote the people in Heaven. Same same here on Earth.
PPS: The reason Lucifer lost was his party was the minority in the vote in Heaven. That was before the Lord established Hell.

Welcome to Europe.
This is exactly what happens here. Several months ago police in Tyrol cracked a huge drug smuggling ring. However, they can’t deport any of the people involved (~200 Africans), because… they are… “refugees”.
All you need to do here is pop up without papers and say “asylum.”

Lacey Gaines was murdered just 6 days after her 20th birthday in Dec 2009. The one constant in her case has been illegal aliens in the food industry. She was under the age of legal consent and a latino 10 yrs older coerced her into having sex and she became pregnant. Lacey complained of him abusing her, she filed police reports and got an OP. Then they found her dead in her apt on Dec 7, 2009 with her throat slashed and strangled. Someone wanted her dead. No arrests. No more laughs or hugs from Lacey. She leaves a 2 yr old son.
Protect your daughters. Latinos want anchor babies with young white girl.
nadadhimmi commented:
I’m actually glad to see Obama, the progressives and the msm support the illegal aliens. This will shock the rest of the non-political public into seeing these progressives for what they are. It will forever link the progressives and the illegals in the minds of the public. 75% will view them as they are. They will come to see a vote for the Dems and Progressive Republicans as a vote for illegal aliens. It is already happening.

Arizona – Doing the Work the Feds Refuse to Do
Arizona, by enacting a strict illegal immigration law has decided it wants less murders, kidnappings, assaults, rapes, human smuggling, drop houses, home invasions, drugs, welfare recipients; and fewer illegitimate users of their schools, health care and judicial systems. What’s not to like and cheer on about that?

“Why are people of faith using God to say that Illegal Immigrants must be recognized as Legal Immigrants because “If Christ welcomed me unconditionally should I do any less with others?” until the shoe is on the other foot when those who were extended unconditional acceptance now find that it is now righteous to not extend the same. how come it’s acceptable for obama to paint all whites as having racist intents – would that be profiling?
GrayRider commented:
A report issued by Maricopa County’s Attorney General Andrew Thomas in October 2008 reveals the extent of Arizona’s problem with crime committed by illegal immigrants.
In 2007, illegal immigrants accounted for:
10% of sex crimes convictions
11% of murders convictions
13% of stolen cars convictions
13% of aggravated assaults convictions
17% of those sentenced for violent crimes
19% of those sentenced for property crimes
20% of those sentenced for felony DUI.
21% of crimes committed with weapons
34% of those sentenced for the manufacture, sale or transport of drugs
36% of those sentenced for kidnapping
44% of forgeries
50% of those sentenced for crimes related to “chop shops”
85% of false ID convictions
96% of smuggling convictions
Illegal immigrants make up 19 percent of those convicted of crimes in Maricopa County and 21 percent of those in county jails.
Illegal immigrants make up an estimated 9 percent of the county’s population (2007).
It is estimated that each violent crime cost citizens $20,000, and each property crime cost citizens $4363 per offense.

Bud Selig, the Baseball Commissioner has decided not to allow the All Star Game to be played in Arizona this year.
Actually, unless you are getting news that has not made it to the public, Selig has not decided to move the All Star Game. And it is not scheduled for 2010. It is scheduled for 2011. The head of the players union (who is more trouble than he is worth) and SF are who is pushing to move the game. MLB has not made a statement about it.
I live in an area that is highly populated with hispanic people. Those who are legal are great, great people. Good citizens.
However, we also have a large number of hispanics who are not here legally, and some of them (a large enough number to cause huge issues) are just here to cause problems. It isn’t a problem with them taking jobs away from people because there is work available for those who will do the agricultural work. It is the drug and gang issues that create all the crime that follows them.
And now in one small town of around 8K has problems with gangs coming in from NYC. It has turned into a drug capitol of the NW. FINALLY . . . law enforcement is beefing up that area because it is getting out control. There is a shooting almost every day. They are killing each other.
When I was growing up, we would pick out the illegals. They were the people driving really, really slow. It was a joke then. Illegals have been a problem for decades. It is only in the last couple of decades that the crime that comes with some of them that is really causing the problem.
Valerie commented:
My sympathy to the deputy and SM-Illinois.
This administration is no more serious about containing the immigration problem than they are about containing that oil slick in the Gulf. What they will do is let each get totally out of hand, and then propose some counterproductive solution once enough people believe it is a “crisis.”
With respect to “immigration,” I expect the proposal will be an unworkable law with no guest worker program, and a national ID.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/01/AR2010050100990.html
“It would further expand the 20,000-member Border Patrol; triple fines against U.S. employers that hire illegal immigrants; and, most controversially, require all American workers — citizens and noncitizens alike — to get new Social Security cards linked to their fingerprints to ease checks of their work eligibility.”
Expand the border patrol – yes. Triple fines – why? Why not just issue the fines we have?
The problem is with people who are here illegally. Some form of green card with biometrics would be useful. Why the rest of the country needs new legal ID is beyond me.
StrangernFiction commented:
If there is an issue that shows how DISCONNECTED our “leaders” in BOTH parties are from reality and the patriotic/sane citizens of this country, it is this one. The scourge that is the nonsensical and self-destructive ideology of the left runs deep and wide and the reaction to the State of Arizona having the gall to actually DO SOMETHING about the immense problem of illegal immigration PAINFULLY illustrates this reality.
How dare these racist rightwingers push back against our efforts to create a permanent dimmicratic majority.
These elitist scum are enemies of America, plain and simple. You CANNOT have a nation without a border. And these people clearly DO NOT want a border.

……………
Here’s confirmation that’s crap. If one wants to employ scriptural language since it is being claimed there is a scriptural basis for this nonsense, Christ said:
“Obey the authorities.”
“Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s.”
Obey the law, pay your taxes. Mind your correct duties as lawful citizens.
What these manipulators hiding behind a mask of phony “Christians” are pushing is self-serving or enabling of others law-breaking. To accept those unconditionally as citizens who started by not obeying the law is rewarding bad – sinful – behavior. So, then on what basis is one to be trusted with much (citizenship) when one couldn’t be trusted with little (abiding by legal entry)?
The Bible says even the Devil can quote scripture, even the demons know who Christ is. The twisting of scripture for the justification of illegal behavior which to be sustained, relies on MORE sin – LYING – is to be denounced whenever it is offered as excuses or argument.

IN Phoenix, along I-70, right now, the highway is being widened northwards at GREAT expense, including 20 foot high sound barriers along both sides as I-70 runs through the metro area.
The sections are being poured day by day, and the wall is growing before one’s eyes.
The Federal and State money was/is available to build a WALL, EXACTLY the kind of wall that would be perfect for the border, IN Phoenix, against highway NOISE.
The very same people who are all a gaga over the NEED for socialised HealthCare, and the NEED for highway sound barriers by their neighborhoods, are suddenly unbelievable tightwad Scrooges when a border WALL is mentioned.
All that has to be done is a shift in PRIORITIES. Declare an emergency, cross out SOUND barrier and write in BORDER barrier and pack up the trucks, cement mixers and forms, take the I-70 / I-140 exit and DRIVE them on wide open interstate two hours SOUTH, and start pouring.
ALL the necessary is actually right there, the contractors, the crews, the equipment, the water trucks, the materials, mountains of it. The contractors don’t care, they’ll get paid. The molds produce snazzy artsy designs so the wall looks NICE. It’s not the means that is lacking, it’s the WILL.

SM-Illinois commented:
I think it was the PIMA co sheriff on Greta that said he wasn’t enforcing this law. While PIMA Co adjoins Mexico—-it doesn’t have the main corridor HWY 10 going thru. Hwy 10 is the main corridor from Tucson to PHX and beyond. Casa Grande is in the middle where hwy 8 junctions hwy 10 and goes to San Diego. So, as you’ve probably heard senators Kyl and McCain discuss this—–they say the Tucson border point is totally out of control because the smugglers want to get to Hwy 10 where they have their contacts dispersed all along to transfer the illegals/goods to be dispersed all over the country. So, look on the map—-see Casa Grande, AZ City——-we’re right in the middle of all this. So, we visit our AZ City vacation home to relax, enjoy our roses, etc. Maybe Barry and his family would like to have a home in our area? He’s willing to call out the riot cops and sharp shooters in Quincey IL against the blue hair grannies—–but he stands by and allows this major drug/human trafficking to occur right where our vacation home is located. Where’s Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson? Maybe they want to move to our area?

A good friend of mine used to live close to Nogales. He was forced out way back in the eighties for the same reason. This has been going on for a long time.

“The U. S. Catholic Church on Tuesday condemned Arizona’s ‘draconian’ law, saying it would alienate immigrant communities across the United States. ‘This new law, although limited to the state of Arizona, could have impact throughout the nation in terms of how members of our immigrant communities are both perceived and treated,’ Bishop John Wester said in a statement issued on behalf of the U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).”
Perhaps if the leaders of our religions institutions stopped sermonizing fear, division, racism and hate then God’s Freedom would not be under assault?
Someone, somewhere on this planet needs to send the US Bishops, the Brown Evangelicals, the White Evangelicals, the Church of Christers, the Episcopalians, Methodists along with the Jews, Muslims and Buddhists a copy of the US Constitution; perhaps they’ll read it to understand they are ‘alienating communities’ by dividing a Nation in the name of ‘helping poor minority people’.
If these ‘ungodly’ actions by our religious leaders continue then America will waste away in rot as seen in the manner of the ways of Western Europe.
God’s Freedom is far too important to simply allow religious leaders the power to lead America down the path to an immoral hell.
Using God to justify illegality is as immoral as is using the law to justify an act of murder.
From what I am reading the Bible, much i written about being freed from bondage yet when I hear some religious speak these days it is ‘poor people need to be in perpetuity held in bondage so that self-indulging pious people can save them’.
The message I receive reading the Bible is that God is Freedom form bondage; I have not read anywhere that God is about self-indulgent pious people needing to feel righteous.
