Arizona warns residents with signs against hiking in region near Mexico border
The drug cartel violence coupled with increased crime along the Arizona/Mexico border has prompted Arizona officials to place signs along a heavily-traveled and known smuggling route leading from Mexico to the state’s capitol of Phoenix.
Signs went up a couple weeks ago along the southern side of I-8 between Casa Grande and Gila Bend Arizona. The region is about 80 miles north of the Mexican border and it warns American citizens of the dangers of hiking in the area.
Mexican drug cartels appear to control large areas of Southern Arizona, according to the Pinal County Sheriff.
According to Borderland Beat, the Pinal County Sherriff says, "We do not have control of this area."
Pinal County investigators are now saying the area known as the ‘smuggling corridor’ stretches from the Mexico's border to Phoenix.
Borderland suggests the area was once known as a family hiking and off road vehicles area. However the government has posted signs warning visitors and residents of the drug and human smuggling activity.
Recently law enforcement in the southern Arizona region photographed, using night vision cameras, cartel members with military arms delivering drugs to vehicles along Highway 8.
“We are three counties deep. How is it that you see pictures like these, not American with semi and fully automatic rifles? How is that okay?" the Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu asked.
"We are outgunned, we are out manned and we don't have the resources here locally to fight this," the Sheriff said at a news conference.
Just 5 weeks ago Deputy Louie Puroll was ambushed and shot by armed men as he tracked suspected drug smugglers. Sheriff Babeu explained that incident mirrored military tactics and should act as a warning to all Arizonians.
While the federal government fails to secure the border, the Arizona state government is left to post signs warning residents that it is no longer safe to use thousands of acres of BLM land.
The new sign reads; “Danger Public Warning, travel not recommended active human and drug smuggling area, visitors may encounter armed criminals and smuggling vehicles traveling at high rates of speed. Stay away from trash, clothing, backpacks and abandoned vehicles. If you see su ious activity, do not confront (underlined) move away and call 911. The BLM encourages visitors to use public lands north of Interstate 8.”
A mere hop, skip and jump south to Mexico the murders continue unabated.
Mexico experienced its deadliest day since Felipe Calderon took office and 85 citizens lost their lives in a single day due to an uptick in drug cartel brutality.
The bloody Friday in Mexico was summed up by local news reports as organized crime-related mayhem. “In what cons utes the most violent day since the present federal administration began the frontal struggle against organized crime, 85 people lost their lives in acts related directly to ‘adjustments of affairs’ between rival gangs, confrontations and assassinations with high-caliber firearms,” local newspapers reported.
The previous single day loss of life tally was 58 on November 3, 2008.
This should be a wake-up call for all Americans; secure the borders or live in potential lawlessness.

Sorry, I dont get it zosa. DOH
The sheriff says the region is not in control? That's ridiculous and shameful, not because the sheriff sucks but because it appears that OUR SIDE has settled for letting get out of hand.
This's basically what I meant, Drachen. How a country can fight wars around the globe while long stretches of their border areas are completely insecure and ravaged by criminal activity ... befuddles and astounds.

The US military in Iraq and Afghanistan is basically the police force for US corporations. All the talk about "spreading freedom and democcracy" is bull ty myths for the self-congratulating myth-believing sheeple back home.
Afghanistan is really about an oil pipeline south from the eastern Caspian Sea oil fields in Turkmenistan (just north of oil-rich Iran).
Of course, there is very probably some neo-c*nt nutjobs wanting to go after Iran's oil from Afghanistan in the east and Iraq in the west.
US military is all about making the world safe for US corporate predations.
There is no oil or other $100Bs to be made by US corps on the US southern border, so they make sure the border remains open and the US businesses, and elites, have plenty of cheap, underpaid/unpaid labor to displace higher priced Americans (if they are any who even want to the work illegals do).
Illegals crossing the souther US border? US corps don't give a or they want it to continue.
the sherrif can only do so much without using guns
I guarantee you they start killing them crossing the boarder illegall it would stop
but that would actually make sence!
keep thinking it is the oil
bury your damm head in the sand
