Re: the March 2 article "11 are arrested on suspicion of resupplying drug smugglers"
Well, the Tohono O'Odham just put out a video staunchly against building a wall/fence on its reservation. They continue to ignore the reality that the reservation is a major alien and narcotics smuggling route into Arizona.
Smugglers and aliens trample over endangered cacti, leave large quantities of litter, cause fires, and use tribal members to assist them, as the story detailed. ICE agents, now called Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), out of their Sells, AZ office conducted the investigation.
When is the Tohono O'odham tribe going to wake up and understand that allowing a wall/fence structure to be built would help them, our national security, and save lives by reducing drugs coming in that are killing people across the country. To my knowledge, TO members do not usually walk across the desert into Mexico to visit relatives, they drive on existing roads. That could be maintained with a fence/wall.
