The Mexican drug cartel warned Arizona police officers this week to look the other way when they are off duty or face sniper fire.
These foreign criminals are now openly threatening our law enforcement officers here in America.
The Sierra Vista Herald reported, via Free Republic:
A Mexican drug cartel has threatened Nogales police officers, saying they will be targeted for retribution if they conduct off-duty busts.
Nogales Police Chief Jeffrey Kirkham told the Nogales International late last week that the threats stemmed from an incident approximately two weeks ago, when off-duty officers surprised marijuana smugglers while riding horseback in an unincorporated border area east of town. The officers seized part of the drug load, and the smugglers were able to flee back into Mexico with the other part.
“As a result of that,” Kirkham said, “our officers have received threats from the cartel that they are to look the other way if they are off duty, or they will be targeted by a sniper or by other means.”
NPD learned of the threats through informants, he said.
Following the threats, Kirkham said, NPD notified the Border Patrol and other federal law enforcement agencies, which responded by stepping up manpower and surveillance in the area where the off-duty bust occurred. In addition, Kirkham met with his officers to advise them of the threats and to authorize them to take precautions, including wearing firearms while off duty.
“The Nogales Police Department will not be intimidated,” he said.
Kirkham said the threats highlighted the need for more federal law enforcement at the border. “This has nothing to do with SB 1070 or illegal immigration,” he said, “it has to do with narco-trafficking and the violence of the cartels.”

Obama said he sent many more to the border for patrol Is that true or just another joke?
KR commented:
seven,
I’ve only heard that some unarmed national guards have been sent.
pst314 commented:
“some unarmed national guards have been sent”
That’s right. Thousands of unarmed National Guards, because Obama and his cronies only want to make gestures that will not accomplish anything useful.

I believe that the loser in chief should send the 82nd Airborne Division to AZ to clean up this mess once and for all. We are being invaded, the turd colored president is allowing it. We should declare war on the Mexican Cartels or Mexico for that matter and end this.. Authentic Mexican food sucks anyway.
Valerie commented:
No need for the 82nd Airborne, good as they are. All they have to do is let local law enforcement do their job. Right now, the Feds don’t do their job, and won’t let the locals do it for them.
Arizona has had outlaws before.

As far as I am concerned, this embodies the best part of Liberalism. The radicals we have in control now have no idea what country they “lead.”
Joanne commented:
When you think about it, not only is America not sealing their southern border, but neither is Mexico. The U.S./Canada border is pretty much sealed because both co-operate in this regard. If Canada was on your southern border, you wouldn’t have a problem. Mexico doesn’t seem to be held accountable in this regard whatsoever.
Aren’t the U.S. troops over in Afghanistan and Iraq to keep the terrorists out of the States, but while away, the terrorists flood in unabated – it doesn’t make sense.
Big T commented:
The drug cartels are supporters of the Mexican Government. I say send the Big Red 1 to Mexico City and fix this nonsense once and for all.
kansas commented:
Well it’s certainly a good thing that Obama is suing Arizona over their unfair law. These dope smugglers deserve a decent wage for their efforts, and worker compensation if they get shot.
Kevin P commented:
Joanne #10 – “…the terrorists flood in unabated…”
All the way into the White House!
Kemo Sabe commented:
Communists like hugo chavez have partnered up with drug cartels. It’s a win, win situation for them. It gives more power and ability for the drug cartels to smuggle more drugs and gives the islamocommunists a way to get terrorists into the U.S. while destabilizing our societies and it helps fund leftist groups.
Iranians are becoming more involved in Venezuela every day.
Barry is allowing (dare I say helping?)the bad guys around the world proliferate.
One answer to this is for dumb a$$ Americans to STOP DOING DRUGS! No buyers – no need for dealers.

Obama can afford to close the Canadian Border because those Canadians aren’t a big Democrat voting block.
The State of Nevada is 90% Govt. land — maybe Obama can turn it into Palestine and make them instant citizens. Goodbye Casinos — hello Sharia Law.
AuntieMadder commented:
seven, 1200 National Guard troops were sent to AZ. They’re unarmed because they were sent to work desk jobs, not the border patrol.

Joanne commented:
Actually shooting illegals, sight seen, crossing the U.S./Mexican border would take care of the problem – pronto.
Sandy commented:
Nobody speaks about all the Legal Mexicans who don’t want Amnesty for all the Illegals either.
Robert commented:
Obama said he would take care of it.
AFTER “comprehensive immigration reform”.
Mats commented:
hehe
Great to see Obama’s work paying off.
How long till he starts prosecuting cops who arrest illegals?
Mark1957 commented:
#19 Auntie Madder;
Obama has yet to send any of the promised 1200 national guard units to the area. Just another empty Obummer promise.

We oughta be proud to be Americans, citizens of this exceptional nation where f’king alien bastards take over our country -literally- and threaten to kill us if we dare defending our land and enforcing our laws. Nowhere in the world you’ll find people like the American people: SISSIES!!!
daryl commented:
Whoa Paul, and speak only for yourself, buddy.
I doubt your modern mexican illegal border crosser would understand the significance, but maybe it’s time to blare this old ditty at all known crossing points and if they cross anyway, shoot a few of them after they cross and let their original national bird (the mexican eagle [half vulture, half chicken]-a lovely bird) eat their carcasses. Bet that would get the message across pretty quickly, don’t you think?
How about it BrackO? Do you got the cahones to protect the border, el prezidente?

No harm, no foul.
And fire those racist police officers too.

Mexico has sued Arizona over its immigration law!
How is that for audacity? Another country along with our own government suing my state over a law that the federal government refuses to enforce.
Can this get any more weird?
neomom commented:
Foreign countries suing us. Foreign criminals are threatening us. Our allies don’t trust us. Our enemies are laughing and taking advantage of us. Jobs are scarce. the stock market is above 10k only because we have printed so much money it’s worth 1/2 as much as it was. Let’s add to that the worst Eco-disaster in the history of this country being, I believe, purposefully mishandled to make Soros, Gore, and a few corporations wildly wealthy while placing us in third world status. No one is protecting us, no one in power will or can stand up. If there was ever a time for civil insurrection, it is now. If we can’t stop this in Nov………..
Contemplationist commented:
Simple. Legalize marijuana now. You will deprive the cartels of 50-60% of their profits. Stop pressuring the Calderone government to continue the Drug War in Mexico, and ask them to legalize marijuana as well.
Sojourner commented:
..Take a good look, because this is exactly what the obama Regime has planned for us..
it should be dawning on a few more ‘fence sitters’ as to why an enhanced,managed, secure Southern border is Constitutionally requisite.. not a luxury for free people.. not a hostage chained to stupefied ideology or garnering of political constituents.
obama’s enabling the takeover of our country by foreign criminals ..and tyranny is knocking at our Southern door.
Please, if you have not already done it, call or email your Representatives in DC.. tell them you want the FEDS to DO THEIR JOBS..to send AZ the help it needs to manage and secure our Southern Border now..every American has a stake in this fight.

……….
It’s not at all weird. Very predicatable once you know how this game is being played. SB1070 is solid law. THe strategy to defeat it is mob rule and painful economic arm twisting. Obama is poisoning the public water with Democratic Party mayors announcing boycotts in the hopes of encouraging more boycotts (their own boycotts are worthless – San Franscisco? total B.S. Some city in OHIO is boycotting. B.S for P.R.)
Obama says he’s POTUS and doesn’t “do” boycotts, but his rhetoric praises actions against AZ while his administration uses words like “unconstitutional,” “racist” and the dishonest media colludes by opening every report on the law as “racist” and “controversial”. Obama and the Dems let Mexico’s Calderon spew in Congress, and Calderon is getting the green light from HILLARY “I am the Secretary of State” CLinton via Ecuadoran TV that starting the legal attack is now okay. (SB1070 goes into effect at the end of July). It’ll take TIME, but most importantly MONEY for a close to bankrupt AZ to defend itself (courtesy of quitter AZ big spending Dem Governor Quitter Janet Napolitano (Q) for quitter.) An economic drain on AZ government as Democrats turn the screws with boycotts, and bus in out of state street agitators to smash things in the streets, throw bottles at cops, and smear refried bean swastikas on the capitol building (a tactic that backfired because people don’t know if it was stupidity or high farce).
“Racism” is the only sin permitted to jack violence against by the teaching of the Liberal Left. The Dems been layering it on THICK amongst the Mexican foreigner population residing illegally in AZ. Racist racist racist racist. 1960s racists cops are constantly evoked.
SO Democrats are demonizing AZ and AZ law enforcement thru evoking DEMOCRAT SOUTHERNERS of the 1960s. Now we know why the Democrat Party NEA got hold of history standards, to wipe the Democratic Party’s slaving, racist guilt off the books.
Obama is actively violating his POTUS Constitutional duty to “PRESERVE DOMESTIC TRANQUILLITY” by using all political and economic hammers available to set other states against AZ and to pound and terrorize AZ into submitting and recinding the 100% legal bill.
This next six weeks are going to be increasing physical pressure – increasing ugly on AZ. AZ law enforcement has already bitterly complained at how they have been totally maligned by the Democratic Party politicians’ accusations that they are racist. OBama doesn’t have a big gooey oil well spew in central AZ to make AZ residents cry, but he’s got a big illegal population who’ve been jacked by the Obama DOL that they have “Rights” and the media is heavy-handed implying that meany AZ “white” racists are trying to take their “rights” away.
The Democratic Party is staging for violence.

Wanumba, I believe drug addiction is a disease of the soul. It creates incredible selfishness.
Unless, and until, it’s legalized, people ought to quit buying it. As you said, may they all be haunted by the dead.

………………
Hullo? It’s “a disease of the soul,” but it’ll be okay to use it if it’s legal?
Why would it be okay to use it legal or not if drugs make people egotistically, pathologically self-centered?
Like transforms people into hollow, soulless shells of their former selves who’ll STILL sell their kids at the front door of the supermarket to get more drugs available in aisle 5 since they went thru all their other money, house, job and savings already.
And legal drugs makes all the filthy rich, murdering drug cartel bosses … magically respectable citizens who just happen to have blood on their hands. Why do so many people think drug lords will suddenly behave? They have the business saavy to do well in .. computer sales, poultry, agribusiness, scads of business sectors, but they CHOSE crime. They aren’t nice people.
neomom commented:
This thread got derailed. You can legalize drugs when this country can step over the addicts without feeling compulsion to save them. When babies can be taken from drug addled mothers and put up for adoption. When you get ten years for driving under the influence. Basically, you can use any drug you want as long as it does not endanger or financially penalize those that do not. That is what stops legalization, you want drugs without complete responsibility.
Rhinestone Suderman commented:
Sorry, Wanumba, you’re right; not okay to use it at all. It would just create an army of zombies. As neomom says, drug users want the drugs, without the responsibility. Basically, they want the rest of us to take care of them.

I agree. There’re aren’t many in the world like Soros. Unfortunately, just one can wreck havoc.
No matter what, he is facing his death ahead, modern medicine, no matter how well paid, cannot prevail against time, and his parasitically-gained wealth can’t protect him against God.
