I was watching a show on TruTV yesterday called “Inside the Border War”. It showed what it was like to be a Border Patrol Agent in Arizona, Texas, and California.

Not only were they catching illegal criminal aliens attempting to cross the border who had just been returned to Mexico FIVE HOURS AGO, but they were catching people with serious criminal records either here in the U.S., or where they came from- Murderers, child molesters, drug smugglers, gang members, etc.

In Nogales, AZ. alone, they said they apprehend about 40 people with serious criminal records per eight hour shift. Do the math! 160 per day times 365 days equals over 58,000 per year! And that’s just in Nogales!

Then there’s the environmental damage they do- 6000 tons of trash per year just in Arizona alone! And of course, the phony “environmentalists” don’t give a damn. Watch this four minute video about how they’re trashing Arizona-

BOSTON — In a private meeting with White House officials this weekend, Democratic governors voiced deep anxiety about the Obama administration’s suit against Arizona’s new immigration law, worrying that it could cost a vulnerable Democratic Party in the fall elections.

While the weak economy dominated the official agenda at the summer meeting here of the National Governors Association, concern over immigration policy pervaded the closed-door session between Democratic governors and White House officials and simmered throughout the three-day event.

At the Democrats’ meeting on Saturday, some governors bemoaned the timing of the Justice Department lawsuit, according to two governors who spoke anonymously because the discussion was private.

“Universally the governors are saying, ‘We’ve got to talk about jobs,’ ” Gov. Phil Bredesen of Tennessee, a Democrat, said in an interview. “And all of a sudden we have immigration going on.”

He added, “It is such a toxic subject, such an important time for Democrats.”

The administration seemed to be taking a carrot-and-stick approach on Sunday. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, in town to give the governors a classified national security briefing, met one-on-one with Jan Brewer, the Republican who succeeded her as governor of Arizona and ardently supports the immigration law.

About the same time as that meeting, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said on a taped Sunday talk show that the Justice Department could bring yet another lawsuit against Arizona if there is evidence that the immigration law leads to racial profiling.

Ms. Brewer said she and Ms. Napolitano did not discuss the current lawsuit. Instead, in a conversation she described as cordial, they discussed Arizona’s request for more National Guard troops along the border with Mexico, as well as other resources.

The Democrats’ meeting provided a window on tensions between the White House and states over the suit, which the Justice Department filed last week in federal court in Phoenix. Nineteen Democratic governors are either leaving office or seeking re-election this year, and Republicans see those seats as crucial to swaying the 2012 presidential race.
