The situation with illegal immigration here in Arizona -- where I live -- is very serious. The issue is finally getting attention. Unfortunately, ranchers defending their land are being villanized by the national press. In Arizona itself, most reasonable people realize the ranchers are simply defending their property.

I just ordered a video from American Patrol (www.americanpatrol.com) that documents the Aztlan/immigration planned invasion. This video is entirely based on documented material -- mostly video clips of influential Mexicans describing their desire and plan to "reclaim" the Southwest. These people emit an arrogance beyond description.

Ranchers and Americans in Arizona on the border are dealing with more than we can possibly imagine.

To give an example, the citizens of Mexican towns on the border toss their trash over the fence. There is a massive pile of trash the streches dozens of miles, all from people who live on the fence who throw their trash on American soil.

The U.S. government's numero-uno policy of wasting millions of dollars by apprehending illegals and SENDING THEM BACK TO MEXICO does nothing -- NOTHING - solve the problem.

While the IRS is like a pack of wolves when it comes to delinquent U.S. taxpayers, the INS treats illegals with kid gloves. These criminals, when found, are simply packed up and sent back to Mexico. The INS probably pursues a mere 10 or 20 percent of the illegals it is aware are within U.S. boarders.

And let's not even talk about what is going on in California.

If any of you are still confused about our illustrious soon-to-be president George W. Bush, let me assure you this man is in bed more than any other presidential candidate in history with the Mexicans, Zedillo, and illegals. I even have a picture of Bush standing in between two flags -- one American, the other Mexican -- with his hand to his heart either saying the pledge or singing the national anthem -- I just wonder which flag he was honoring.

If this issue touches any of you, please join the cause, contact me -- anything. Contact me especially if you live in Arizona.
