Marking the first official act of extreme violence after Arizona enacted a tough new illegal immigration law, a Central Arizonan Sheriff was shot in the stomach with an AK-47 by alleged group of illegal aliens.
The shooting took place after the Sheriff Deputy spotted a group of illegal smugglers. The Deputy was able to radio in the incident, and he has been airlifted to a Phoenix, Arizona hospital is condition is unknown.
The attack on a law enforcement deputy comes after Arizona steps up their crack down on illegal immigration.
"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," Tammy Villar Pinal County sheriff's Lt. told KPNX news. "We've had increasing concerns in this area about being outmanned and outgunned, and unfortunately this evening, this is coming true."
It’s also worth pointing out that Border Patrol agents have been told at daily musters that the Mexican drug cartels have put a $250 thousand bounty on their lives.
U.S. agents are taking the threat very seriously and say officers in the field should use extreme caution when approaching the border fence area. The threat comes after an Arizona rancher was murdered on his own property last month by an alleged illegal alien.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued a warning to law enforcement officers in west Texas due to retaliatory killings by a Mexican gang. The agency has suggested agents’ change up their routes and wears body armor while on duty.
DHS headquarters said gang members might issue a “green light” to murder law enforcement officers in the Arizona and other U.S. border areas. The report also suggests that the law enforcement officers pay special attention to any unusual activity.
One agent said it this way; “We were warned about this recently at several musters and we were advised to take this threat seriously and to take precautions. This is the life we chose and it is certainly not our first threat. Over two years ago we received intelligence that a $2 million contract was put out for the assassination of a Border Patrol Agent. Last year, Agent Rosas was murdered. Coincidence? I doubt it. If they are willing to pay two million for a hit, then they have enough money to pay for a fall guy. The cartels don't need to prove to America that they can pull this off. They only need to prove it to other cartels, for credibility in the fight amongst themselves.”
The renewed violence comes on the eve of May Day rallies set to take place across the country. As news about the Deputy, who was gunned down while he was on the job, circulates the news cycle it is sure to play a pivotal role in tomorrow’s nationwide demonstrations. If an illegal immigrant committed the brutal act, the rallying cry against Arizona’s new illegal immigration law could be snuffed out.

yessireebob, let's all crack down on illegal gardeners and maids instead of putting the focus on violent drug dealers.
"Arizonan"??? "is condition is unknown"? Spelling worse than those illegals, I bet.
That quote didn't come from a real Border Patrol agent. We don't get daily musters, that is made up.
Three Border Patrol agents are assaulted on the average day at or near the U.S. border. Someone is kidnapped every 35 hours in Phoenix, Ariz., often by agents of alien smuggling organizations. The 267 kidnappings in Phoenix in 2009 equals one kidnapping every 1.37 days—or one every 35 hours. These facts are reported in the recently released National Drug Threat Assessment for 2010, published by the National Drug Intelligence Center, a division of the U.S. Justice Department. Assaults on Border Patrol agents have massively escalated in recent years, according to the Justice Department threat assessment, which was released on March 25. “Assaults against U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) agents increased 46 percent from 752 incidents in FY2006 to 1,097 incidents in FY 2008,” says the assessment. Given that there are 365 days in the year, 1,097 assaults equal 3 per day.
Respectfully you have no IDEA what it is like living along our Southern border, Our dogs get killed, our homes are broken into our water is P i s ed into and trash from Illegal Aliens is thrown around like a dump yard with NO respect for our property or OUR rights!
I’m sorry, but unless you live at the border nobody has an idea of what it is like. People in other states try to rationalize this as just a need for labor, heck no it is not, these people come across our lands with drugs and children and women who they will be placing into prostitution to pay off their indebtedness for crossing! Have you ever heard a woman being raped and was not able to do something about it because it was only a few yards on “The Other Side” of the fence? No, well we have and it rips your guts out and makes you made as heck!
Arizona has done what is needed; now Mr. President, Mr. Governor send us the National Guard, and stop wavering and pandering to the President of Mexico!
All Americans (immigrants included) want this country safe, and want our laws enforced, not just selectively, but across the board. If you actually experienced living along one of our southern borders I would bet that you would be packing your bags in a week if you lasted that long. Living along our Southern Borders is one of the scariest things one can experience; it is like living back in the 1800’s.
Since Obama and his communists support the illegal aliens at all costs, don't expect the federal governmen to come to your aid anytime soon. This country is now under yoke of a traitorous, marxist tin-pot dictator who cares nothing about America. Instead of sending gunships to Arizona, he'll send Eric Holder to sue anyone who defends themselves from the illegal alien criminals.
The solution is simple really, (if we had a real President in the White House):
1. Bring back the troops from Okinaw and Korea...all the places where they are hated by the undeserving locals, and put them on our U.S-Mexican border.
2. Give them orders to SHOOT TO KILL.
3. Send back all illegal alien criminals who are currently taking up space in our prisons and burdening the U.S. Taxpayer.
4. Refuse medical treatment to illegal aliens at our hospitals (only exception: if they need critical care).
5. No more anchor babies.
5. Repeal all free schooling, food stamps, etc. to illegals.
This is not an issue of race, as the moronic leftist, progressiveslike to make it out to be. It's an issue of protecting the lives of Americans and protecting our national soveriegnty. We CANNOT sustain the onslaught from the illegal aliens anymore.
Here you have President Obama, AG Eric Holder, and our failed DHS led by Janet Napoleatano, taking the side of the illegal alien. What does that tell you?
As for the President of Mexico, or course he wants the status quo in place, because he benefits from all the remittances sent his way!
Keep in mind, that Mexican cops routinely beat and kill any illegal aliens crossing into their border from the south (i.e. from Nicaragua and Guatamala)... so this issue of Arizona's law being anti-Mexican or racist is a big load of crap.
It's so frustrating because we have a congress that is worthless and corrupt, led by a President who favors foreign law breakers over his fellow citizens.
We need to stop calling them illegal, using our enemies terminology(the U.S. government, the clergy, the media and schools, both public and private). Making a lot of noise will bring Obama to the rescue to fix the problem by granting amnesty. Then what we're left with is legal parasites. Then the problems really begin. More rape, less American jobs for true Americans, more destruction in our communities, more murder, more welfare, more gangs, more prisoners.
I do not want them here no matter what they are, legal or illegal!
I am trying hard on my end when I talk to people to make them understand that we should not call them illegal, but just what they are. Just as soon as they become 'legal', or have a green card then our complaint is over. I work in Elkhart, IN and these intruders are everywhere! Our city blocks now resemble Tijuana slums.
The arresting of illegal invaders isn't acceptable but the shooting of Sheriff's Deputies is!
Time to start shooting the illegals on sight.
You Lefties and Reconquistas were warned years ago to stop. You didn't. No you pay for your crimes! BIG TIME. This is just the tip of the American iceberg that is coming down on you. Game over for the open borders fascists!
Mexico wants a new war with America? This on will make all others look like a Sunday picnic. All illegals leave the country now before the shooting starts. Final warning.
Don't concern yourself with Arizona law enforcement trying to do the dirty job the government wont, hippie agitator.You are aptly named.

It's amazing all of the scrutiny I get while entering and leaving this country and anywhere I go in the world- but America is "RACIST" for stemming the flow of people who jump the line and come here illegally? I've got a cousin who came here illegally and stole my identity- created an almost 20 year long mess for me- and thank God he didn't get convicted of any felonies as me!
Wake up Americans- you don't know what you have until it is gone!
Our troops could shoot the illegals from 1.5 miles away with 50 cal rifles- all the illegals would see is one of their compadres pop like a giant pimple... And then all we'd see is arseholes and elbows as they run back to Mexico- where they, hopefully, would line up and wait their turn with all of the honest people who want to come here.
What about " If you don't want to be stopped or feel you are being demeaned".... There is a simple answer 'STAY IN MEXICO, YOU WILL ONLY BE STOPPED OR DEMEANED IF YOU CROSS THE LINE ILLEGALLY !!!! Makes sense to me, how much smarts does it take to stay home & quit ur Bithin!,,,,,,,,,
The current "Party in Power" wants the illegals here to be organized as loyal party voters, citizenship is irrelevant at the moment. The violence and lives ruined by drugs are irrelevant. The end justifies the means, now who said that?
It is sad that the Boarder Agents are Victims of our messed up politics...my heart goes out to them!
so, don't feed, you prefer arresting gardeners and maids and letting the violent drug dealers alone?
has all those people I see protesting on tv lost their mind?? You cant just have open boders. We are losing our country. I moved out of Yakima Wa as part of the white flight! Now I am being surrounded by Muslim Temples. Whats going on here?
AZ,CA ,TX has a problem because it's major passage from Mexico for drug dealers.This is the war the U.S. should be engaging in.Check papers of every single hispanic looking person at the border as they come thru, and put our military all along the border along with a damn 10 ft wall.
I only wish the girly man Swarznegger had the balls to enact a law like AZ's.It would not only help us fiscally, but would open up the job market for legal residents. It would put CA in the black and reduce crime dramatically.
How about a 1:1 trade for immigrants with Mexico? We'll send Mexico one white or black far-left democrat moonbat that hates everything about America, and we can grant amnesty to one illegal hispanic immigrant that will embrace America and thrive here without feeling any need to turn the country upside down or whining about needing selective enforcement of the laws that they don't like here.
Thank you for referring to those people as SMUGGLERS,not immigrants.
I call an ace an ace & a spade a spade these criminals, ARE ILLEGAL ALIENS start calling them what they are, like our sociclist leader is a halfbreed ass hole, on the up side there is only 19999983 ILLEGAL ALIENS and 1 sociclist leader to go!!!!
good idea start arming "EVERY_ONE" including all malitias with 50 Cal & don't forget the night scopes & score boards let the party begin i'm on my way.
First off, maybe if the US didnt make it near impossible to become legal, they would have tabs on who all is here. Secondly, sure we cant pick and choose the good from the bad, but damn near majority of the non-citizens here illegally wish they could be here legally. They want to fit in just as well as anyone here. But we make it IMPOSSIBLE!!! Everyone is so stuck on them being dangerous, when they are human just as us citizens. I am not scared for my life just because i live in AZ next to the border, Im more scared to live on the bad neighorhoods of NY or CA, with law breakers and criminals that are born inthe US. People exaggerate on those that come here and do wrong. How many police officers have been shot and killed by Americans, does that make all Americans a target? Grow up, its 2010, we live in a highly diverse society, where religion, race, sexual orientation, ethnicity and gender do not define somebody!
I don't like Obama and I didn't vote for him! Now that I have said that, I would like to ask the Republicans on here, what did George Bush do about illegal immigration in the 8 years he was in office? He refused to do anything that might have made a difference. Just like Bill Clinton, only weak cosmetic changes, to make it appear to the American people that they acted. The Republican party wants the flood, just like the Democrats want it. They may not want it for all of the same reasons, but they both want it!

All this talk and no action what can we really do. Nothing seems to really be getting done about all these ignorant, uneducated, low life, non english speaking foreigners. I live in michigan and have been turned down at several jobs because I dont speak spanish. I teach my 6 children that foreigners are bad and they are taking our jobs and their future. This problem of foreigners is spread all the way up to michigan and farther. What can we really do? We get to vocal and the cops jump on us americans. We have to start a change with the way the cops support these unwanted foreigners. It seems the law is our first problem. They need to be dealt first and more severly. My friends and children are now aware the cops are just as bad as foreigners. Any suggestions? I'm willing to do what I can and so are many others here.
OK. So since we have so many blacks in prison and involved in so many crimes why don't we ship them back to Africa?
You cannot blame all people for the crimes committed by a few.
Try to imagine the wonderful border wall that we could have had with all of the money wasted on Iraq,Afghanistan and Israel...
It would seal it like the walls that are in Israel(that we paid for!).
There really is nothing that we can do about this illegal issue,there are very powerful forces working to destroy this nations ethnic identity.
All that can be done is to arm ourselves and never allow any government or UN agency to disarm us.
A people remaining heavily armed is the best form of defense from becoming a slave or worse.

Just wanted to share with those who aren't aware.. Our government is in the works of combining The U.S,Mexico and Canada. It will be called the North American Union. (NAU)Just like the European Union. Google it and type it in on YouTube. People need to wake up and turn off the TV's and do some research!!!!
