Arizona deputy shot by alleged undocumented immigrant, officials say

[3CTactical]

I was about to criticize CNN for the wording "alleged undocumented immigrant" but they used the proper term "illegal alien". Why the change in the thread title?

That's just the title they used on the webpage - I just copied and pasted.

They are not illegal aliens or undocumented immigrants or whatever they want to call them. They are drug smugglers, mules, backpackers who carry large burlap backpacks laden with 40-60 pounds of MJ. Just like drug dealers on your corner they are usually armed to protect their load from other smugglers or LEO's.

The drug cartels have become so brazen in their own country that they openly target LE who dare to challenge them. Now they think that they can intimidate the LE in our country too. We are often too soft on crime, (including illegal aliens), and that has only emboldened the cartels and their minions. The only solution, (other than letting the bleed-heart liberals give our country away), is to commit adequate resources to the effort, enforce our laws, and take the fight to the cartels with such force that they cannot survive.

It never ceases to amaze me how complicated we make this issue. How many years, and how many billions (trillions?) of dollars, have been spent on the war on drugs? Has it gotten us anywhere?

It's very simple, legalize marijuana and cocain and cut the legs out from under the cartels. Then divert some of the money wasted on this "war" to addiction treatment. It's working quite well in Portugal.

Some critics are calling for a boycott of Arizona, urging tourists to stay away and that no one do business with companies in the state.

Hell I don't know about the rest of you but I want to travel and vacation in AZ even more after they signed that bill!
