Wow! The amount of illegal alien lawlessness is shocking.

It was only a matter of time.

Meanwhile, the goofball CNN Rick Sanchez can't worry about anything else except how it's going to affect the "average" illegal alien working here in the United States.

Oh, no, "we should NEVER generalize. ... poor widdle illegal aliens who post NO THREAT to society."

THEY'RE ALL LAWBREAKERS!!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!

My prayers for the officer and his family.

Shot with a russian made Ak-47! Drug cartels? sounds like it!!! They are looking for those POS right now on live news feeds.

This is just the begining because nothing is going to stop these criminals from invading our country. How many more have to be victimized before our useless President does something about this?

Arizona Authorities Searching for Deputy Who was Shot in Desert

Associated Press

Pinal County Sheriff's Lt. Tammy Villar says the deputy radioed in to say that he had encountered a group in the desert and had been shot with an AK-47 assault rifle in the abdomen.


CASA GRANDE, Ariz. -- Authorities in southern Arizona were searching Friday for a wounded deputy who radioed for help and said he had been shot with an AK-47 assault rifle in a remote desert area used by drug- and human-smugglers from Mexico.

The unidentified deputy called in to say he had encountered a group and been shot in the abdomen, Pinal County sheriff's Lt. Tammy Villar said.

Further details on the shooting were not immediately available.

"Over the past 12 months we've seen an increase in the amount of drugs, and an increase in violence that has been going on in this particular corridor," Villar told KPNX.

"We've had increasing concerns in this area about being outmanned and outgunned, and unfortunately this evening, this is coming true," he said.

The shooting came as Arizona grapples with backlash over its enactment of a tough new law targeting illegal immigration. Civil rights activists concerned the law will lead to racial profiling have called for a boycott of the state.

The law signed by Gov. Jan Brewer last week is supported by many in the state, which has become a major gateway for drug smuggling and human trafficking from Mexico.

Its passage came amid increasing anger in Arizona about violence, drug smugglers, drop houses and other problems caused by poor border security.

Villar said the search for the wounded officer was occurring near Interstate 8 and Arizona 84 about 50 miles south of Phoenix.

This is only going to make more people fight amnesty. Too bad it has to resort to this.
