AZ Sheriff Paul Babeu: Why More Troops at Korean Border Than U.S. Border? HOMELAND SECURITY BEGINS AT HOME.

AZ Sheriff Paul Babeu: Why More Troops at Korean Border Than U.S. Border? HOMELAND SECURITY BEGINS AT HOME....said the Obama administration’s decision to extend the deployment of 1,200 U.S. National Guard troops along the U.S. border with Mexico until Sept. 30 is “pandering” and that those numbers “fall far short” of what military power is needed to keep the country safe. Babeu noted, for comparison, the 28,500 U.S. troops stationed in South Korea to help defend it against North Korean aggression; U.S. troops have been stationed in South Korea for 58 years.

AZ: Border Patrol Admits 400,000 ILLEGALS in 2010 Made it Past them in Arizona Alone!

AZ: Border Patrol Admits 400,000 ILLEGALS in 2010 Made it Past them in Arizona Alone! Last year, 219,300 illegal aliens were apprehended in just one sector of AZ and many with violent felony criminal records. The U.S. Border Patrol estimates another 400,000 made it safely past them in AZ and now reside in our communities.
If the majority of regular illegal aliens can sneak into America, what does this say about the ability of terrorist sleeper cells? The porous U.S./Mexican border is the gravest national security threat facing America.
