There are no words for the sadness we all feel relating to the death of this innocent man. He was simply going about his business, checking on his cattle. Our hearts go out to his family.
I am furious and ready to vote out every politician in our State and Washington. We have been asking for help with this serious drug and illegal issue for months. We warned anyone that would listen that someone was going to get killed. Nothing was done except to heighten Border Patrol in the area. This is a vast area and those officers have worked diligently trying to assist, along with the Cochise County Sheriff's office. Where is our military and why is it not assisting in protecting America and Americans? Ms. Napolitano's statement to Bill O'Reilly last week that our "borders are secure" was an absolute bunch of hog wash. No one, especially our National Security Advisor, could be that ignorant of what is going on in this area! This situation was created by channeling drug trafficing and illegal activity up Highway 80. This channeling was done by building the fence and leaving this corridor open. It was hoped to keep the issues away from heavily populated areas and direct it to a locale where fewer losses might occur. The military should have been put on our border as soon as that decision was made.
Ms. Gifford has not been interested in our plight until this murder of an innocent citizen, neither have her counterparts. Only lip service has been paid to the problem. CLOSE THE BORDER and let Mexico clean up its porch before this turns into a blood bath! People in this valley are fearful and are arming themselves. This death is going to start a chain of events that could rapidly spread out of control if allowed to continue.
Amnesty to illegals should not even be considered until we can be assured these types of situations will not happen to our own citizens. Every day the Border Patrol catch gang members, drug lords, child molesters, and other types of criminals flooding into America through these open borders. Read their reports! What happened to government of the people, by the people, for the people? How did we end up with no rights while the illegals (In case no one remembers, IT IS ILLEGAL to enter the United States without going through proper procedures!) and drug runners are being offered amnesty by the very government that is supposed to be protecting American citizens?
And further, Ms. Napolitano should be here in person to explain to this sad family how our borders are so secure!
