PHOENIX � After a frantic hour-long desert search, authorities found a deputy wounded in a shootout Friday with suspected illegal immigrants apparently hauling bales of marijuana along a major smuggling corridor in southern Arizona. The deputy was found with a superficial wound � a chunk of skin torn from just above his left kidney � after being shot with an AK-47 on Friday afternoon, Pinal County sheriff's Lt. Tamatha Villar said. He was flown by helicopter to a hospital in Casa Grande, about 40 miles south of Phoenix. Villar said the deputy was doing smuggling interdiction work and found bales of marijuana in the desert. He then encountered five suspected illegal immigrants, two armed with rifles, and was shot. "He was out on his routine daily patrol in the area when he encountered a load of marijuana out in the desert. He obviously confronted the individuals and took fire," Villar told The Associated Press. "I was speaking with him just a bit ago, and he's doing fantastic." The deputy was alone about five miles from a rest stop along Interstate 8, about halfway between Phoenix and Tucson. The area is a well-known smuggling corridor for drugs and illegal immigrants headed from Mexico to Phoenix and the U.S. interior. "Over the past 12 months we've seen an increase in the amount of drugs, and an increase in violence that has been going on in this particular corridor," Villar told KPNX. "We've had increasing concerns in this area about being outmanned and outgunned, and unfortunately this evening, this is coming true," he said. The shooting came as Arizona grapples with backlash over its enactment of a tough new law targeting illegal immigration. Civil rights activists, concerned the law will lead to racial profiling, have called for a boycott of the state. The law signed by Gov. Jan Brewer last week is supported by many in the state, which has become a major gateway for drug smuggling and human trafficking from Mexico. Its passage came amid increasing anger in Arizona about violence, drug smugglers, drop houses and other problems caused by poor border security. Villar said the search for the suspects involved numerous helicopters from state and federal law enforcement agencies and scores of officers near Interstate 8 and Arizona 84 about 50 miles south of Phoenix. "The deputy is a search-and-rescue deputy, so its not uncommon for them to work those areas A) looking for drugs and B) looking for people who need assistance out there," Villar said. "Obviously its a high-traffic area for drug- and human-smuggling." SOURCE: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100501/ap_on_re_us/us_arizona_deputy_shot We NEED to get the illegal immigrants out of our beloved country. They are parasites leeching the money off citizens, and the majority are causing violence while trafficking humans, and drugs. This isn't the first time this happened.

[quote] heyitsmexD : OK. Lets say you carry a school ID around. A cop pulls you over one day. You show them your ID, they take you in. They do a checkup in your school registry to see if you are actually registered, and with that they can check your citizenship status. It'll be annoying, but its not racial profiling. @Above: LOL? IDK if you actually read what I said, but ok... I never said illegal Europeans and Asians didn't exist, I said they probably make up 1-4% of the population in Arizona. @Bandicoot: We're talking about illegal immigration here, not races. Nationalities have no point in argument here. IDK, if you want to be a bigger troll and spout out racist phrases to me regarding my nationality, it's your downfall. [/quote] Or they take you down to the station, and if you're older, can place you under arrest, something that would go on your criminal record, just for the "suspicion" of being an illegal, which, if we're talking about me, would be for the color of my skin, seeing as how I hardly do anything suspicious.

[quote] heyitsmexD : In your logic lets say: A) A cop pulls over a Caucasian driver. It is not racist. B) A cop pulls over an Asian driver. It is not racist. C) But if a cop pulls over someone that is Hispanic, it's racist. wat. @Above: ? Doing a quick checkup on a computer requires millions of taxpayer dollars? What country do you live in? [/quote] No. A). A cop does not pull over a Caucasian driver who is driving well B). A cop does not pull over an Asian driver who is driving C). A cop pulls over a Hispanic driver who is driving well Yeah, that's called racism.

[/quote] No one should own property (no group of people should claim ownership of land) Property should be shared, owning property allows the proprietor to do whatever they please with their land. This could end up leading to the robbery of our basic rights such as equality.

Every country has illegal immigrants. Even if this racist law does pass it'll do nothing but create multi-country conflict within the U.S. of racism-based arguments.

Take money from the rich and give it to the poor?

[/quote] Okay, you are a law enforcement officer. How do you go about identifying someone as an 'illegal immigrant' based on their appearance? Do they... look Hispanic? Poor? If that's all you have, it is racial profiling which, get it through your thick GOP skulls, is unethical and borderline unconstitutional.

[/quote] So because you've been to one area of Arizona and only saw Caucasians and Hispanics, you can automatically deduce that 1-4% of the entire state of Arizona is of Asian/European descent? By your logic, if someone went to China Town in San Francisco and only saw Asians, they would conclude that the entire State of California is 96% Asian.
