C & P: Illegal shot at border
What do you want to bet that they blame the Minute Men for this shooting.
TUCSON, Ariz. -- One illegal immigrants are dead, three are injured and others may be being held captive after gunmen opened fire on a pickup truck near Tucson on Thursday.
Authorities are are now trying to determine who the gunmen were.
The shooting took place along a known smuggling corridor, Pima County sheriff's officials said.
News of the shooting comes as Border Patrol apprehensions continue to drop along the Mexican border in Arizona and elsewhere.
The Border Patrol uses apprehension numbers as a measure of the flow of illegal immigrants across the border. If apprehension numbers go down, the nu7mber of illegal corder crossers is assumed to be going down as well.
The Border Patrol said the new numbers are a sign that changes in policy and increased resources are paying off.
Arrests of illegal immigrants from Texas to California have plunged 27 percent during the first four months of the current fiscal year compared to the same period in fiscal 2006.
So far this year in Arizona, apprehensions have fallen by 9 percent in the Border Patrol's Tucson Sector.
For several years, the Tucson sector was the nation's busiest for illegal immigrant traffic.
In the Yuma Sector, apprehensions fell 62 percent over the same four-month period.

It's sad that the situation is so bad that citizens are taking it into their own hands when the government does nothing. I don't think that this problem will be solved, no matter who is the next El Presidente. 0 -
The numbers are dropping off because they are all here...... 0 -
Do you think that will stop them from becoming illegal immigrants?[?][?] 0 -
[8D]-The numbers are droping, because the COUNTERS are quitting from lack of FED SUPPORT--

The Border Patrol assumes that because the number of apprehensions is down that there are fewer illegals crossing?! What a load!
They are experiencing a backlash for the treatment of Ramos& Campion!
If any of us were sent to the slam for 11-12 years for doing our job; there'd be a dramatic decrease in the number of us doing our jobs!
Anyone remember what happened in Matamoros a few years back? Something about 2 BP agents kidnapped, tortured and killed?
What about the National Guard troopies having to sign a waiver to indemnify the US for any mistreatment received at the hands of Mexican Military members INSIDE our borders?!
I predict many more illegals dying while attempting to enter, and our Gov't. claiming they were killed by rival smugglers.0 -
How did you reach the conclusion that the Minutemen had anything to do with the shooting. Get real and why don't you wait until they find out who did the shooting.[V][:(][8] 0 -
