• Fox again: Brewer Slams Administration Over Smuggler Warning Signs in Arizona Desert

[b]FOX News[/b] [release]Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer is slamming the Obama administration over government signs posted in the Arizona desert warning visitors to beware of illegal smugglers, saying the signs are hardly the kind of border security plan her state needs. "This is an outrage," Brewer said in a new reelection campaign ad. The ad shows the governor standing next to one of the warning signs in the middle of the Arizona desert, 80 miles from the border and, according to the ad, 30 miles from Phoenix. The signs have in recent weeks drawn attention from border-state lawmakers who say they demonstrate how unsafe the region has become. In the ad, Brewer noted that she recently met with President Obama, who "promised that we would get word" on the administration's border security plan. "Well, we finally got the message -- these signs. These signs, calling our desert an active drug and human smuggling area. These signs warning people of danger and telling them to stay away," Brewer said in the ad. "Washington says our border is as safe as it has ever been. Does this look safe to you?" The ad ended with a confrontational message: "Washington is broken, Mr. President. Do your job. Secure our borders. Arizona and the nation are waiting." One of the signs warns visitors that "smuggling and illegal immigration may be encountered in this area." Another says "travel not recommended" due to "active drug and human smuggling" routes. Though warning signs have been placed in certain areas of Arizona, broad swaths of federal land are considered dangerous because of the smuggling routes. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., brought up the signs on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday. Calling for stepped-up border security, he said "the rise of violence and the influence of the drug cartels and the human smugglers" compelled the government to put up the signs. After the Obama administration met with border-state governors Monday to detail plans to deploy 1,200 National Guard to the region, Brewer told reporters that the influx of more than 500 National Guard troops to her state would not be enough. Brewer has said she wants 3,000 National Guard troops sent to her state and 6,000 total sent to the border. The Obama administration has also faced criticism for planning to assign the National Guard to surveillance and support positions, as opposed to in-the-field work. Obama has asked Congress, however, to approve $600 million in new spending for more Border Patrol, immigration officers and drones.

This is hilarious. Isn't it kinda going along with the comment that one guy made saying "all illegals are drug smugglers"
Fox literally says Obama's doing nothing and then details his plans to increase border security? :downswords:

There is no way you're going to secure the nearly 2000mile border is absolutely retarded. Its 600 million into the bin, for a useless investment. Either build a wall that stands 900 feet tall with a moat that moves at roughly 7000GPM, or come up with a better way of spending 600million.
Invade Mexico.

Glaber thread, nothing to see here.
Then why were you looking?
Because I don't look for the name "Glaber" under every title on instinct. And I don't immediately look at the OP's name, for the fact I shoudln't have to. If you're in favor of having big red bold letters exclaiming "WARNING: GLABER FOX NEWS REDIRECT THREAD" I'd be completely in favor of that. With a title like "Fox again:" I assume it's more a scandal on fox's part.
[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;22990429]Invade Mexico.[/QUOTE] Exactly, then we won't have to deal with illegals...
[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;22990429]Invade Mexico.[/QUOTE] 1. Would make the International community hate us 2. We would still have smugglers 3. Not worth it 4. Mexico is a poor country, see 3. 5. You're a troll, stop posting

You're a troll, stop posting[/QUOTE] 1) The international community would hate us. Mexico is one of the steps up from china for cheap labor. 2) True, because most smugglers work for other nations south of mexico. Ispo facto, it would intensify the situation. 3) Sand is worth it, see Afghanistan [Also Heroin/Opiates] 4) Mexico would be well off if it was centered around drugs, and it was counted into the GDP. 5) Learn what a Troll is. It's just a shit post, not really trolling. Unless you're pretty sensitive and serious on the internets.
I thought those signs have been there for years.
If they were, then we REALLY need to secure the border.

[QUOTE=massn7;22994969]Takes all of one second to read the OP's name, quit being lazy.[/QUOTE] I hardly even look at who's posting what on here unless it's interesting.
[QUOTE=Lambeth;22998702]alright go do your part then [editline]10:39PM[/editline] sign up for border guard duty or whatever[/QUOTE] I doubt I'd qualify, I suspect I may be 4F.
[QUOTE=Glaber;22999111]I doubt I'd qualify, I suspect I may be 4F.[/QUOTE] cba to look up what 4f means but i take it means stupid
"We will not surrender any part of Arizona." Speak for yourself, lady. I'd like to surrender all of it.
[QUOTE=PrismatexV8;22999178]cba to look up what 4f means but i take it means stupid[/QUOTE] It basicly means not fit for duty. I first ran into the term in a Bugs Bunny war time Cartoon.
