Arizona deputy likens border to war zone at Washington hearing
Read the whole thing here, but don’t believe everything you read.
Pinal County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Steve Henry said Wednesday that when his deputies go to the border they face a situation similar to a warzone in Afghanistan or Iraq.
“The fact that everybody we encounter, almost, is armed. The only difference is that we don’t exchange shots with them most of the time,” Henry said after speaking to a panel in Washington.
Henry was joined by sheriffs from around the country as part of a discussion panel hosted by the Center for Immigration Studies, an independent organization that advocates for limits on legal and illegal immigration, and the House Immigration Reform Caucus.

3.) See the SPLC about the host organization, the Center for Immigration Studies. Founded and run by bigots.
4.) The other host organization, the House Immigration Reform Caucus, seems to be doing everything it can to stand in the way of reform.
