Bad News Part II

After all the whining and screaming from the left and Obama people:

• After a frantic hour-long desert search, authorities found a deputy wounded in a shootout Friday with suspected illegal immigrants apparently hauling bales of marijuana along a major smuggling corridor in southern Arizona.

  The deputy was found with a superficial wound - a chunk of skin torn from just above his left kidney - after being shot with an AK-47 on Friday afternoon, Pinal County sheriff's Lt. Tamatha Villar said. He was flown by helicopter to a hospital in Casa Grande, about 40 miles south of Phoenix.

  Villar said the deputy was doing smuggling interdiction work and found bales of marijuana in the desert. He then encountered five suspected illegal immigrants, two armed with rifles, and was shot.

Legal documented immigrants have seldom been a problem in this country. Illegal means illegal and they are slowly strangling local and state government abilities to cope. And this incident merely demonstrates the necessity of securing the borders. If Washington won't, Arizona will.

Texas and New Mexico are next up.
