    BORDER SHERIFFS EXPRESS FRUSTRATION OVER LACK OF SUPPORT FROM DC

    Sierra Vista, Arizona — Sheriffs from across the border and western states have gathered here to present a unified front on the many issues affecting the border-area law enforcement community. The sentiments shared by the many speakers at the conference deal with the apparent lack of support from the federal government on border security issues, a lack of regard for law enforcement in general, and the constant danger presented by Mexican drug cartels.

    “We are facing opposition from many different sides,” said Danny Glick, the President of the National Sheriffs’ Association.

    Glick was openly vocal about the silence by the White House after the many attacks on law enforcement and the federal government’s refusal to acknowledge the problem.

    “We are under assault and this administration refuses to do something about it,” he said. “All we ask for is for a seat at the table so they can understand where we are coming from.”

    Another hot topic in the conference was the ever present drug cartel activity where armed traffickers continue to push their drug loads through private ranches and lands.

    “What happens on the border doesn’t just stay here,” said Leon Wilmot the Chairman of the Arizona Border Sheriffs’ Association. “Washington needs to pay attention, enforce the law and stop putting things on our backs.”

    Arizona State Senator Gail Griffin spoke with the sheriffs about her own personal experience with drug cartel smugglers.

    At her home on the border, Griffin said she woke up one morning to a cartel gunman sporting an AK-47 who was leading a pack of smugglers through her property. The smugglers were each carrying a 50 to 60 pound drug bundle and were further guarded by a second gunman who also carried an assault rifle.

    Since that day Griffin now always has her cell phone, a flash light and her .38 handgun.

    “That’s a heck of a way to live,” she said.

    The sheriffs’ conference is expected to continue throughout this week.

    You all need to form a trip to DC and lobby for passage of Trey Gowdy's Bill HR 1148 in the US House of Representatives that authorizes you and all the other 800,000 state and local law enforcement officers in the US to enforce US immigration law with the same authority as a federal agent.

    The legislation is written. It's in committee, it's time for vote which will pass the House and move it on to the US Senate. Then lobby the hell out of these Senators and rally the country to force a signature of this great law by the President.
