A look at illegal entry and drug smuggling on the border

by on Jun. 13, 2011, under border issues, department of homeland security, drug smuggling, politics

 Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and President Barack Obama would like us to believe the border is more secure than ever.

Except not only do border area ranchers and residents know this is not true, interestingly hunters have been photo-documenting what is going on in our borderlands.

The following photos were emailed to me….

Some trail cam pics mostly in Game Managetments Areas 36B, Some in 36C, one in 36A

As you can see we have both migrants and drug smugglers running around the borderlands south and west of Tucson. And people carrying assualt rifles.

Note: Management Area 36A is described as:  Beginning at the junction of Sandario Road and Arizona Highway 86, Southwesterly on AZ Hwy 86 to AS Hwy 286, southerly on AZ Hwy 286 to the Arivaca Road, easterly on the Arivaca Road to I-19, north on I-19 to the southern boundary of the San Xavier Indian Reservation boundary, westerly and northerly along the reservation boundary to the Sandario Road alignment, north on Sandario Road to AZ Hwy 86.

Most of these photographs were taken in 36B:  Beginning at I-19 and Grand Avenue in Nogales, southwest on Grand Ave to the US-Mexico Border, west along the U.S.-Mexico Border to AZ Hwy 286, north on AZ Hwy 286 to the Arivaca Rd, east on the Arivaca Rd to I-19, south on I-19 to Grand Avenue

In the Arizona Game Management Booklet it describes the state lands south of Interstate Highways 10 & 8 as; “Homeland Security Issues along the International Border may affect the quality of a person’s hunt.  Call (800) BE-ALERT to report suspicious activity.

Janet Napolitano had failed to discover what the Game Department and Hunters in Southern Arizona have known for years, and that is that the Border is not secure.

    I love how all the pictures are from 2011 EXCEPT the one with the headless guy carrying the assault rifle…which is from 2008….but what good is an article about how dangerous the border is on our side without a guy carrying a gun?  You want dangerous?  Go to Mexico if you really want to see what havoc our ridiculous War on Drugs is bringing.  Also, if your worried about cartels with weapons be sure to google Wachovia banks involvement in this lovely situation, laundering TENS of BILLIONS for the cartels and weapons traffickers.  But hey, whatever helps push your “dangerous illegals takin our jerbs” narrative right?  Go Arizona

      How about you hide out in a canyon and try and get a picture of one of the cartel guys carrying an automatic weapon.

    Ya know,  one not need go to Mexico to see the extremes of such a chosen path of self aggrandizing narcissism and pure animal barbarism.  It is in the news practically every day and the description of the murders and terror are watered down considerably.  A sampling can be seen in the Al Pacino film, “Scarface”.  I understand the Zetas never run out of ideas when dreaming up more horrible, cruel, and savage methods of eliminating competition or anyone who might even think of being or sympathizing with their competition.  Just because an assault rifle isn’t seen in the other pictures doesn’t mean the guys weren’t packing.  Several of the bundles were most likely bales of marijuana, cocaine, heroin, whatever.  Running drugs and people across the border is big brutal business and I have no doubts is being orchestrated and allowed from the highest to the lowest levels in government.  The war in Afghanistan is in large part to insure maximum heroin production.  But the economy in Mexico is suffering, just as are the economies here in the states and in a rapidly growing number of countries around the world.  We have the international bankers and corporate CEO’s and investors who are heavily interwoven with not only the military and associated industrial complex, but the powerful underworld economies as well.  In my opinion, at the very top are the Talmudic Zionist Jews and Russian mafia “Zionist” wannabes operating out of Tel Aviv, London, New York, and Washington, DC.  The free trade agreements initiated by this mafia cartel destroyed local economies in Mexico, just as they have here in the states and around the world.  The corporate and Zionist megalomaniacs who believe themselves Gods of the planet and universe,  in their psycho and sociopath  mentalities, destroy everything in their path whether the environment or human lives in their lust for more material wealth, control, and power.  They create chaos in countries where they orchestrate conflicts between race, religion, ethnicity, or culture for the conscious purpose of instigating killing, chaos, terror, and mayhem.  This is how they divide the people and then conquer the land….an age old technique of the ruthless with no sense of honor and fairness.  Lets not fall for the charges and accusations of racism or racial profiling when determining if someone is in the country illegally or not.   As the photos indicated, all the people photographed on the trails were dark skinned Hispanic/Indian heritage.   These people are engulfed in poverty in their home lands thanks to the Zionist Jewish banking and corporate cartel and are doing what they feel they need to do to survive.  But lets not blame the average New Mexico or Arizona citizen for having concerns of grotesque criminal activity making its way into their neighborhood and communities under the guise of poor good hearted migrant workers..  Lets hold our politicians both local, state, and federal accountable and their feet to the fire to eliminate the free trade agreements and reign in corporate domination and control of every aspect of our lives.  Peace on earth, remembering the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God, our universal loving creator/father over all creation.

    Hi, Hugh,

    Thanks for following this issue and doing such great reporting.  Between tyou and Leo Banks maybe the real stories will finally come out about what we are facing on the border.

      Thanks Zeke.
      I’m getting a lot of help from area ranchers, former border patrol agents, aid workers, business folks….to try and get the whole story here.
