This won't be an epistle. Rather some info from a friend in Phoenix. According to Reuters, an unknown gunmen fired on a truck packed with suspected ILLEGAL immigrants in southern Arizona early Friday, 3/30/7, killing two people and wounding a third, police said.

The gunmen killed a man and woman traveling in a pickup truck near Green Valley, 30 miles south of Tucson. A spokesperson from the Pima County Sheriff's Department, Dawn Barkman, stated she believed the dead were Mexican immigrants traveling with three family groups from the poor southern Mexican state of Chiapas.

Last month gunmen killed three Guatemalan immigrants and wounded two others in an attack on a back road northwest of Tucson. According to the report in that event rival "human smugglers" were responsible. The police say that increased security on the border has made "human smuggling" a more profitable activity. This resulted in increased violence among smugglers.

Again according to this article, a smuggling ring that Arizona police say FLEW!!! thousands of ILLEGAL ALIENS across the United States from the Phoenix area was busted earlier this week with 16 people indicted. The dollar value of the illegal ring? $2 million in current bookings and advanced bookings.

We all know, as I've been alluding to in articles here and in columns on yourhub.com, it would be a matter of time before this would happen. If the current administration can't or won't take action against these criminals, both ILLEGAL ALIEN and smugglers, the private citizen, We, the People have no other alternative. If I lived in Tucson and ILLEGALS were cutting my fences, poisining my dogs, and TRESPASSING ILLEGALLY onto private property, I would have no problem and no recourse but to defend my property and family. Shoot to kill, so to speak.

What once was considered the "Melting Pot" of the world, (USA), has now become a "Crock Pot" overflowing with added ingredients that only make "the simmering stew" distasteful and hard to digest. Keep the Rolaids handy. This is only the "soup". The entree?, well, I think the chef's already burned it. Dessert anyone?
