New Az. State Rep wants to form the Arizona Militia to guard the border. Something all of us should consider, a State militia and Civil Defense accountable to the Governor. No sense in not being ready.
More on the Global Chessboard Series - Yes, another Border Patrol agent on the Arizona border was shot and killed by Mexican drug smugglers last month. There were eight attackers this time with four in custody Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was part of a border tactical unit (BORTAC) tracking armed drug smugglers 15 miles northwest of Nogales, Ariz., when the team was attacked with automatic weapons. The area is well-known as a major drug-smuggling corridor, and the smugglers are known to be armed with AK-47s and tactical battle weapons. The captured smugglers had AK-47s and backpacks filled with ammunition, food and radios. There are rumors that three of the captured four are members of the Mexican military, but that is unconfirmed. Yet, it would not be the first time Mexican police and military have been apprehended smuggling drugs into the United States.http://patriotsforamerica.ning.com/forum/topics/arizona-militiaNew Az.

Mexican Government Proves to be Supreme Hypocrite
Raul Diaz of the Mexican Superintendence of Tax Administration confirmed this week that the Mexican government intends to build a wall along the Mexican/Guatemalan border. Diaz claims that the official purpose of the wall is to prevent the passage of contraband, but has also admitted “It could also prevent the free passage of illegal immigrants.”
Defending the decision to construct the wall, Mexico’s National Commission on Human Rights states that 500,000 people from Central America cross into Mexico illegally every year.
The proposal to construct the wall appears to go against the principles held by Mexican President Felipe Calderon, who, when speaking out against the state of Arizona for its tough immigration measure, remarked,“Criminalizing immigration, which is a social economic phenomena, this way opens the door to intolerance, hate, and discrimination. My government cannot and will not remain indifferent when these kinds of policies go against human rights.”

The yin/yang, Star of David, and flower of life symbols are three of the most recognized symbols in the world, but few know of their connection to the bridge between the studies of science and religion around the world. There are dozens of user uploaded videos and articles regarding the ancient history of the relation between geometry, science, religion, and their correlation with the unfolding events we are currently experiencing in this modern age so heavily influenced by the use of technology as the basis for communication, food production, and healthcare.

We're Moving to Mexico!
We can't stand it anymore, so we're moving on if President Obama can pull some strings for us. Hope they have some nice golf courses in Mexico.
Dear Mr. President:
I'm planning to move my family and extended family into Mexico for my health, and I would like to ask you to assist me. We're planning to simply walk across
the border from the U.S. Into Mexico, and we'll need your help to make a few arrangements.
We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration
quotas and laws.
I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here.So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Calderon, that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:
1. Free medical care for my entire family.
2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need,
whether I use them or not.
3. Please print all Mexican government forms in English.
4. I want my grandkids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking
(bilingual) teachers.
5. Tell their schools they need to include classes on American culture
and history.
6. I want my grandkids to see the American flag on one of the flag
poles at their school.
7. Please plan to feed my grandkids at school for both breakfast and
lunch.
8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy
access to government services.
9. I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico, but, I don't plan to purchase
car insurance, and I probably won't make any special effort to learn local
traffic laws.
10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo
from their president to leave me alone, please be sure that every
patrol car has at least one English-speaking officer.
11. I plan to fly the U.S. Flag from my house top, put U S. Flag
decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I d o
not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals
12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or
have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start.
13. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be
extremely nice and never say a critical things about me or my family,
or about the strain we might place on their economy.
14. I want to receive free food stamps.
15. Naturally, I'll expect free rent subsidies.
16. I'll need Income tax credits so although I don't pay Mexican
Taxes, I'll receive money from the government.
17. Please arrange it so that the Mexican Gov't pays $ 4,500 to help
me buy a new car.
18. Oh yes, I almost forgot, please enroll me free into the Mexican
Social Security program so that I'll get a monthly income in retirement.
I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for
all his people who come to the U.S. From Mexico. I am sure that President Calderon won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.
Thank you so much for your kind help. You're the man!!!We're Moving to Mexico!
We can't stand it anymore, so we're moving... more

TODAY----FBI says Mexican forces pointed guns at investigators of border shooting--
| News for Dallas, Texas | Dallas Morning News | Mexico News
FROM WIRE REPORTS The Associated Press, Los Angeles Times
CIUDAD JUÁREZ, Mexico – Mexican security forces pointed their rifles toward U.S. authorities investigating the shooting of a 15-year-old Mexican by a U.S. Border Patrol agent on the banks of the Rio Grande, the FBI and witnesses said Wednesday.
Shortly after the boy was shot, Mexican soldiers arrived at the scene and pointed their guns at the Border Patrol agents across the river while bystanders screamed insults and hurled rocks and firecrackers, FBI spokeswoman Andrea Simmons said. She said the agents were forced to withdraw.
"It pretty quickly got very intense over on the Mexican side," she said, adding that FBI agents returned later and resumed the investigation as Mexican authorities continued pointing guns at them from across the river.
A relative of the dead boy said that the Mexican security forces – whom he described as federal police, not soldiers – pointed their guns only when the Americans waded into the mud, possibly in an attempt to cross into Mexico.
The Mexican forces accused the Americans of trying to recover evidence from Mexican soil and threatened to kill them if they crossed the border, prompting both sides to draw their guns, said the 16-year-old witness, who asked not to be further identified.
Enrique Torres, spokesman for the joint federal, state and municipal police operation in Chihuahua, also said there were no soldiers present, only federal and local Mexican police.
The confrontation occurred Monday night over the body of Sergio Adrián Hernández Huereka, who died of his wounds beside a railroad bridge connecting Juárez, a city ripped apart by drug-war violence, and El Paso.

LOS ANGELES — A clothing maker with a vast garment factory in downtown Los Angeles is firing about 1,800 immigrant employees in the coming days — more than a quarter of its work force — after a federal investigation turned up irregularities in the identity documents the workers presented when they were hired.
The firings at the company, American Apparel, have become a showcase for the Obama administration’s effort to reduce illegal immigration by forcing employers to dismiss unauthorized workers rather than by using workplace raids. The firings, however, have divided opinion in California over the effects of the new approach, especially at a time of high joblessness in the state and with a major, well-regarded employer as a target.
Immigration officials said they would now focus on employers, primarily wielding the threat of civil complaints and fines, instead of raids and worker deportation.
“Now all manner of companies face the very real possibility that the government, using our basic civil powers, is going to come knocking on the door,” Mr. Morton said.
The goal, he said, is to create “a truly national deterrent” to hiring unauthorized labor that would “change the practices of American employers as a class.”LOS ANGELES — A clothing maker with a vast garment factory in downtown Los... more

In a nutshell, it will cost $6.5 billion over the next 20 years to maintain the fence along the U.S.-Mexico border. However, despite the fact that $2.4 billion has already been spent to build 633 miles of fence along the southwest border, there's no way to evaluate cost-wise whether the fence has helped to control the flow of illegal immigrants.
If there is a will, there is a way. And beleive me the illegal immigrants crossing our border have huge expectations of America and won't let a fence stop them from getting here. This is a huge waste of money and I believe it's nothing but racially-set political propaganda. What do you think.In a nutshell, it will cost $6.5 billion over the next 20 years to maintain the fence... more

The number of people slain in Juárez continues to increase with few signs that it will let up in the near future.
State officials on Sunday reported the slaying of 10 people on Saturday and at least three others by Sunday afternoon.
Most of the victims were shot to death. Some were shot with handguns and others with AK-47 rifles, officials said.
Some of the victims were found on the street, some inside homes, and two were shot on a front porch.
More than 3,000 people have been killed since violence began in the city in January 2008.
