The wife and a friend of former Arizona Gov. Raul Castro are calling for changes in Border Patrol procedures after agents recently detained the frail 96-year-old in 100-degree heat for more than a half-hour.Castro said he was traveling from his home in Nogales, Ariz., to celebrate his 96th birthday in Tucson when his vehicle triggered a radiation sensor at the Border Patrol checkpoint on Interstate 19 north of Tubac.
Castro said agents sent him to another inspection area and continued to question him outside his vehicle for 40 to 45 minutes even though he explained that he had undergone hospital testing on his pacemaker the previous day, likely triggering the sensor.

With the banning of various ethnic studies in AZ schools, fewer and fewer people will learn the history of Hispanic Americans in history. This problem of ignorance will only get worse.

Things get dumber and dumber. I'm surprised the legion of paranoia hasn't tried to stop wildlife migrations across the border too.

What type of person would detain a 96 year old in 100 degree heat? Only a extremely sick, lowlife creature. He and the state of Arizona should be sued.

Maybe they thought he was the ruler of Cuba.

I thought that too. Then again thought that Raul isn't 96. Sad to see stories like that. No compassion, no soul, no heart. Sick state of affairs.
