Sonoita (AZ) safety warning

6 Middle Eastern men were just apprehended in Patagonia/Sonoita southern Arizona.

Last week 10 men from Nepal were caught in Sonoyta, Mexico also. Pretty scary stuff.

Then add Jerry's story to the mix "A police raid in RP a week or so ago found a grenade launcher and multiple grenades after a tip." Add it all together and it could be a real big problem.

I gave a group of Chinese (3..man,woman,sketchy looking 3 year old) a ride from Tubutama to Caborca a while back...giving up after many attempts nod headed on a bus to a resort job in Huatolco where ever that is...

I think RP would be a great played for Syrian refugees....Carlos Slim came from the Middle East,plenty of pigeon coops to roost in,two nations of more gracious people can not be found on the planet,they both are used to being ruled by a corrupt elite with associated paramilitary groups chopping heads off right and left...it will feel like home to them... .....think of the great food too....

Carlos Slim was born in Mexico City. His parents were immigrants from Lebanon. Glad I could clear that up.

Do you have a link? Thanks.

It was in Spanish on one of the Sonoyta Facebook pages. I'll see if I can find it.

Update: I can't find where I read - I found it a little odd at the time. It was at least a week to 10 days before the Paris attacks. I should have posted it.

my kids and i spent 5 days 2 weeks ago in sonoita mts deer hunting...shot3 deer. didnt see one illegal...jus alot of BP

This morning on KVOA they were talking about Middle Eastern Illegal Sonoran Desert border crossers and I searched their site for the exact #'s and to make sure I was hearing correctly, when I'm feeling better I may call or email for the statistics. They were saying it's not as uncommon as we think basically, last year I thought I caught them sayimg there were over or around 350 caught. They broke down from what countries too. Now it's probably being brought more to light and more alarming due to the aweful Paris attacks

Makes sense they would cross here. Many experienced "guides" to hire that know all the tricks.

Offer $10,000 reward for each Middle Eastern turned in. I'm sure that's more than they're giving the Coyotes. Money talks in Mexico.

Actually there was no Lebanon or Syria at the time.The area was called the Ottoman Empire.

Just Google Carlos Slim and it will tell you Carlos Slim was born in Mexico City and his parents were from Lebanon. How did Syria get into the discussion?

Good thing at least in one of the instances last week, they caught the 2 coyotes also.
There is a rancher on the same news program I was watching who was saying they find Quarans in the desert and prayer rugs frequently.

at one time in 2007 had 300 people a night going past my ranch at night in the wash...now maybe 10 a week if that...never found a Koran but living under rule by a religious elite ( mostly Mormon) and tea turds on disability I think we need less religious Americans ready to put a boot on our necjs

Just to bring a little balance to this already-sidetracked thread, illegal immigrants, specifically non-Mexican, have been caught crossing the U.S. southern border at an alarming rate according to recent Border Patrol statistics. With nearly 5,000 unaccompanied children caught in October and almost 3,000 caught in the first half of November, The Washington Times reports that it signals how smuggling cartels and would-be illegal immigrants are paying close attention to the careless border enforcement in the U.S

Is that a joke or are you serious?

Reverend Moons Washington Times....right......even from the right wing swamp that poisons minds the numbers other than central square is minimal "he number of Chinese, Brazilians, Indians and, strikingly, Cubans, has each surged by more than 100 percent, and the number from Pakistan, while small overall, has spiked from 6 at this point last year to 31 now — an increase of more than 400 percent."
From 6 to 30.......wow. Again our Arizona border problem comes from drug smugglers. I want more atheist crossers...I will bake them a welcome cake..
The following on Altar:
He arrived this tragic change from 2000, when they began to arrive about two thousand migrants Altar daily. The phenomenon that intensified and reached its peak in 2005, with the arrival of between 10 000 and 15 000 migrants a day to the town, announcing a social chaos that just filled with the peace of all.

Today, however, the number dropped and is currently among the hundred or hundred migrants a day, enough to sustain the economy of 17 hotels and 90 guesthouses figure, which mostly look closed or were simply abandoned by their owners, who were mostly unfamiliar with cultural roots nor Altar.

Those who see directly this new devastating phenomenon, argue that the new collections among those who engage in trafficking in migrants, are simply unattainable for most applicants to cross into the United States, since they have to pay for each attempt to get close the border 8000 pesos, without exception.

"So who it comes Altar want to cross to the other side, pay once and if failed to cross, does not return because the rate they charge in this area is very high, when at first only paid 500 pesos per crossing and 100 Transportation to Sásabe or Chango and thousands came today only reach a few and when they fail the first time, they simply go Altar "said one of the traders.

Well the stats were Border Patrol stats. Washington Times merely commented on why that might be. And actually, I don’t care so much how many are coming and going at what rate and when, but rather, that they are allowed (encouraged) to do so at all.
