A few weeks ago we reported that it may be months before the new troops Obama promised to station on the Mexican border actually show up. One Arizona sheriff is now steaming mad because the government is delivering signs almost as fast as it’s delivering troops.
CNS News reports the details of the deficiency:
Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said requests by Arizona law enforcement personnel and Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) for 3,000 National Guard troops along the state’s border with Mexico have been answered so far with 1 percent of that number deployed there this week.
“We have a whopping 30 [National Guard troops] this week that are showing up,” Babeu told CNSNews.com. “It’s less than a half-hearted measure designed to fail.”
But the federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has placed 15 signs along a 60-mile stretch of Interstate 8 that links San Diego with Phoenix and Tucson warning travelers of drug cartels and human trafficking operations.
We fully expect the Obama administration to announce that these signs cost $1,000,000 each and created or saved 53,000 jobs.

The state of Arizona needs to deputize its citizens for their safety and welfare , just like the Texas Rangers , SUCK ON THAT OSAMA OBAMA , you treasonist piece of crap
The Federal Government's primary responsibility is to keep citizens safe. Instead, this administration sues the people who are trying to do the job the feds have abdicated.
All part of O's plan.
Double U's observation that the signs are only in English caused me to note something else that has been omitted. Where's the required propaganda promoting the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act with the Obama logos? Shouldn't there be a notice saying something like:
Putting America to Work
Warning Sign Project
Funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
Well, I don't think the signs created 53,000 jobs, but I'm confident that they probably allowed 53,000 new illegals to pass through the designated safe zone. And assuming each illegal gets a job that a citizen would otherwise have taken, it's safe to say that the signs caused 53,000 Americans to remain unemployed.
I think the Department of Labor needs a new metric for the recovery summer: Americans fired or left unemployed.
Because we can :D
I carry concealed. :)
You know...
I've been seeing more and more people wearing guns here in Arizona. I imagine more and more are carrying concealed as well. It is because of this crap we are seeing a rise in people actually doing this. Arizona has always been a big gun state, but I've not seen so many people walking around armed in all the years i have lived here.
The U.S. Federales strike again.
The Left Reich srikes again
I love open borders, illegal aliens, drug traffickers, kidnappings, and murders because they serve to show everyone in the UN just how much America is nothing but a bunch of white Christian racist protectionist who don't believe in freedom.
Stop reading Obama's mind !! ;-)
