Tucson and San Diego Highest For Border Violence
May 14, 2008 · Print This Article
This scary little factoid made me shake my head for the 1,000,000th time and wonder what Bush is thinking.
There have been 362 assaults against officers during the first four months of 2008, according to Border Patrol statistics. The pattern has been that when more security resources are deployed along the U.S. border, violence against officers spike in response.
Most assaults are along the San Diego and Calexico, Calif., border, as well as the Arizona border near Yuma and south of Tucson.
Most of you will be glad to know that here in Yuma, a good portion of the border falls within the Barry M. Goldwater Range complex. A large, uninhabited parcel of land that is used by the Air Station as a bombing range. Go ahead and let them cross here… Hopefully most of them will end up on the wrong side of an AV-8B’s sights!
Semper Fi!
