Arizona Now Has ‘Whopping 30’ National Guard Troops and 15 Billboard Signs Warning Citizens About Drug Cartels Operating on Public Lands

Bureau of Land Management sign in Arizona, "DANGER - PUBLIC WARNING, TRAVEL NOT RECOMMENDED, Visitors May Encounter Armed Criminals and Smuggling Vehicles Traveling at High Rates of Speed."(CNSNews.com) – Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said requests by Arizona law enforcement personnel and Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) for 3,000 National Guard troops along the state’s border with Mexico have been answered so far with 1 percent of that number deployed there this week.

“We have a whopping 30 [National Guard troops] this week that are showing up,” Babeu told CNSNews.com. “It’s less than a half-hearted measure designed to fail.”

But the federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has placed 15 signs along a 60-mile stretch of Interstate 8 that links San Diego with Phoenix and Tucson warning travelers of drug cartels and human trafficking operations.

“DANGER – PUBLIC WARNING, TRAVEL NOT RECOMMENDED,” read the signs placed along Interstate 8. “Visitors May Encounter Armed Criminals and Smuggling Vehicles Traveling at High Rates of Speed. Stay Away From Trash, Clothing, Backpacks, and Abandoned Vehicles.”

“BLM Encourages Visitors To Use Public Land North of Interstate 8,” the signs say.

“I think the American people are outraged that we can fight wars half-way around the world, send our nation’s treasury and our most precious resources – our American heroes that serve in the military -- and yet here in our own country somehow they believe it’s okay for us not to have a secure border,” Said Sheriff Babeu.

“And that it’s okay to put up signs in my county and parts of America to surrender parts of our country to foreign born criminals,” Babeu added, “warning our own American citizens to stay out.”




Pinal County (Ariz.) Sheriff Paul BabeuIn May, President Barack Obama said he would deploy 1,200 National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border to help quell the violence there, which is less than half of the 3,000 troops requested by Babeu, Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever, Sen. McCain and Sen. Kyl for Arizona’s border during a press conference on Capitol Hill in April.

The Obama administration has said it will deploy National Guard troops to the southern border incrementally to eventually have 1,500 troops in place. In addition, $600 million in “emergency border protection funding” was approved in legislation the president signed into law in August.

Babeu said the warning signs are 70 to 80 miles from the border and just 30 miles from Phoenix, the fifth largest city in the United States.

"Scare white people" tactics...

[boutons_deux]

McLiar will say anything, will flip any way, tell any lie (he lied so bad in 2008 even the FCM called him on it), he was even against his own McCain-Feingold law, to stay in office. He's a scumbag, not a war hero.

ducky ducks, tell us how the Repugs attacked illegal immigration when they controlled both houses for 6 years.

[DarrinS]

"Scare white people" tactics...

You'd be scared there.

[jack sommerset]

What a fucking joke.

[Wild Cobra]

What a fucking joke.
Really?

Please don't tell me you expect anything meaningful from this administration...

[jack sommerset]

Really?

Please don't tell me you expect anything meaningful from this administration...

The administration is the joke!

[ChumpDumper]

The number of illegal border crossings are down.

The number of illegal immigrants living in the US is down.

The number of deportations is up.

Crime is down in Arizona.

All this has already happened.

You were told to be afraid of the latest bogeyman by your overlords and you became afraid.

[EmptyMan]

It's no biggie. Zetas are only decapitating people a couple hundred miles south of you.

[ChumpDumper]

It's no biggie. Zetas are only decapitating people a couple hundred miles south of you.How many people are being decapitated in Arizona?

[EmptyMan]

How many people are being decapitated in Arizona?

:rollinAll I need is common sense. Mexican civilization is breaking down. Police can't be trusted and are being replaced by military that are also shaky. Mayors are getting assassinated. Investigators overseeing mass graves containing 70+ dead Mexicans are being killed. What does the "border" mean? It means nothing. It is a man-made imaginary line covering thousands of miles.

Reps are fear-mongering. :sleep These South Americans de.cap.i.tate. son. :wow

Do the AZ PD's publicly release homicide data? Link it up.

[ChumpDumper]

Do the AZ PD's publicly release homicide data? Link it up.The FBI does.

Look it up.

[EmptyMan]

Link it up.

[CuckingFunt]

30' National Guard troops?

Exposure to radiation, or something?

[ChumpDumper]

Link it up.http://www.google.com/

[EmptyMan]

So Chump doesn't think violent crimes involving Zetas have occurred within U.S. lands?

They only have hundreds of millions invested on this side of the border.

[CuckingFunt]

So Chump doesn't think violent crimes involving Zetas has occurred within U.S. lands?

I think you need to read better.

[EmptyMan]

http://www.google.com/

I went to www.google.com and did not see FBI stats. Please provide a different link.

[ChumpDumper]

So Chump doesn't think violent crimes involving Zetas has occurred within U.S. lands?I know violent crime is down in Arizona.

If you want to catalog all the Zeta decapitations that have occurred in Arizona, by all means go ahead.

[ChumpDumper]

I went to www.google.com and did not see FBI stats. Please provide a different link.So you don't know how to use google?

I'm not a bit surprised.

[EmptyMan]

You do know crime statistics provided to the FBI are not all that accurate right?

Do you also know what the dark figure of crime is as it relates to reporting stats?

[ChumpDumper]

You do know crime statistics provided to the FBI are not all that accurate right?Really?

According to whom?

You?


Do you also know what the dark figure of crime is as it relates to reporting stats?Indeed I do, because I know how to use google.

[ChumpDumper]

So your argument here is that something must be done about the crime that we don't know might be happening in Arizona.

Compelling.

[EmptyMan]

Really?

According to whom?

You?

Indeed I do, because I know how to use google.


According to Homicide Investigators I have listened to.

You said google.com would have FBI stats. Just link up the UCR FBI stats. I'm too lazy. Perhaps you could even include some NIBRS stats even though a large number of departments nationwide have yet to switch over to the newer system.

This is all e-peen nonsense though. Just use common sense and quit acting like the reps are overly fear-mongering this issue. War is raging in Mexico and there are plenty of open spaces between there and here. And like I said, hundreds of $$$$ millions have been invested on this side of the border.

[ChumpDumper]

According to Homicide Investigators I have listened to.And these homicide investigators are?


You said google.com would have FBI stats.I implied you could use google to find them yourself.

You failed.

Sorry.
I'm too lazy.No shit.

That isn't my problem either.

[EmptyMan]

Bish, we don't do names here. :lol

[ChumpDumper]

Bish, we don't do names here. :lolBitch, why not? :lol

You'd be scared there.

Been there. Not scared. Illegal immigration is down, brown people aren't stealing our jobs, Mexican drug lords don't really care about killing you unless you're the one stealing their drugs or getting in their way...in Mexico. Move on.

So the Fed government is wasting money putting up these signs???

Violence doesn't affect people not directly targeted? Interesting.

Well, if they were serious about job creation, they would create a few thousand more border control agent jobs. If tax payer money is to be spent for reducing unemployment, lets make real job slots that we need.

[ChumpDumper]

Illegal immigration is already down.

Violent crime in border states is already down.

Deportation of illegal immigrants is up.

been there several times. but is not safe now

[ducks]

So you don't know how to use google?

I'm not a bit surprised.

why do you not
not good link

[ChumpDumper]

why do you not
not good linkI don't understand this particular question.

Anyone actually following the Arizona situation should already know that violent crime is down.

I'm looking at the page right now. It must kill you not to be able to find it!
