THE BORDER REPORT
THE BORDER REPORT
One year. By the time it is all said and done, the new Special Agent in Charge of ICE in Arizona put in almost exactly one year as the top immigration boss in this state. Alonzo Peña, who came to our beleaguered state to quell Gov. Janet Napolitano's contrived anger over the last SAC's failure to do anything about illegal immigration in Phoenix, will be stepping down in January.
The announcement was quietly made among ICE offices recently. I expect the agency will make an official announcement in the next few weeks.
THE BORDER REPORT
I'm not sure what to make of the latest Mexican Army incursion reports over on the Texas border. According to this story, the incident occurred Monday afternoon when U.S. Border Patrol agents called for back-up because a group of armed Mexican Army troops had crossed into Texas, 50 miles east of El Paso.
I think I can safely deduce that Mexican Army patrols regularly escort drug loads into the U.S., there's been enough anecdotal evidence of this occurring on the Arizona border that I don't find it preposterous to believe it happens in Texas. But as far as waving machine guns at U.S. Border Patrol agents, well, I have a hard time with this.
