Arizona and Personal Protection

It's clear that the Federal Government, whether dominated by Republicans or Democrats, has no interest in doing what is required by the Constitution, and that is protecting its citizens, and securing the borders.

Here's some of what goes on in Arizona that drove their citizens on to having to pass SB 1070 to protect themselves. The bill adds nothing that is not already Federal Law, it just says its going to enforce already existing law. The Leftist Liars (but I repeat myself) say its a bunch of new racist laws, and local authorities shouldn't be enforcing Federal Law. Say what? Things like kidnapping, murder, rape and the like should only be enforced, and the bad guys arrested, by Federal agents?

Those crimes just mentioned is exactly what the citizens of Arizona have been putting up with for years, and the Federal Government has refused to do anything except to blow hot air. (I've lived in that great state, and believe me, it's hot enough already.) On average three Border Patrol agents per day are assaulted. Phoenix is the kidnap capital of the country. On average every 35 hours, or about three people a day are kidnapped. How safe would you feel? One in five Arizona teenagers are doing drugs smuggled in from Mexico. Would you want your child exposed to this?

Justice Department's own threat assessment: “Assaults against U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) agents increased 46 percent from 752 incidents in FY2006 to 1,097 incidents in FY 2008.” 1,097 assaults, on Federal Law Enforcement Officers, in a year! If these illegal aliens (AKA undocumented Democrats) are that brazen with law enforcement, how safe would you feel? Citizens are afraid to move about their own cities, but the Federal government, the Democrat Party, and the Jurassic Press, all see the undocumented Democrats as victims of racism; not the citizens as victims of violence, murder, drug running, gun running, human trafficking, and other nasty things.

We have Drug Trafficking Organizations (DTO's) based in Arizona, spreading throughout the US. It's done though gangs, and according to the Justice Department's assessment, “In 2009, midlevel and retail drug distribution in the United States was dominated by more than 900,000 criminally active gang members representing approximately 20,000 street gangs in more than 2,500 cities.”

Yet, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, the same knucklehead that said the system worked with the "panty bomber' fiasco, said, “I say this again as someone who has walked that border.” “I’ve ridden that border. I’ve flown it. I’ve driven it. I know that border I think as well as anyone, and I will tell you it is as secure now as it has ever been.” ummmmmm, don't think so Janet.....

Yet Statists have been calling for a boycott of Arizona because the citizens there were forced to do something to protect themselves. (My favorite is boycotting Arizona Tea, a NY product.) If you think protecting yourself from criminals by enforcing the law is a crime, feel free to join in. There's an alternative, support Arizona at Arizona Tourism and Travel. I lived a decade in Arizona, and it's a beautiful marvelous place to visit (and live, obviously). There's a Facebook page too, Arizona Buycott, if you want to counter the ill-founded boycott against a US citizens trying to protect themselves from the horrors of murder and mayhem.
