We have a large swath of Arizona that is akin to a beachhead for drug smugglers. This part of the desert is guarded by Mexican smugglers with military-style units and automatic weapons that outgun local police. A sheriff’s deputy was attacked with automatic rifle fire a few weeks ago. The Obama administration allows this to happen. Governor Jan Brewer allows this to happen.
This is a completely unacceptable situation that Washington, New York, and other major centers of population far from the border refuse to believe.
We have several military bases in Arizona with a hell of a lot of firepower. Our state and federal government allows the drug smugglers to occupy and garrison this piece of Arizona desert when it could be cleaned out militarily. It’s open desert. Drug smugglers will not likely shoot down an F-18, but one demonstration of air power would send a strong message that we will not tolerate the occupation of American territory.
What will happen instead is more police officers will die trying to do their jobs in this area. Citizens will be in the cross-fire.
Obama, read the U.S. Constitution. Constitutionally, the federal government has the obligation to provide for the common defense. So why is part of Arizona allowed to remain occupied by armed foreign nationals?
