Illegal Immigrants Shot, Killed After Being "Ambushed" by People in Camouflage Garb

Camouflage.
Two illegal immigrants were shot and killed last night near Eloy after being "ambushed" by an unknown number of people in camouflage getup, police say.

According to the Pima County Sheriff's Department, the call came into the Eloy Police Department around 10:30 p.m. yesterday about shots being fired at an "illegal alien smuggling load."

The sheriff's department, along with Eloy police, Coolidge police, and Border Patrol agents, found one person dead in the bed of the pickup truck, and another person was found dead in a nearby wash.

Deputy Dawn Barkman tells New Times there may have been as many as 30 people in the truck when it was fired upon, but police only found a handful of people hiding in some nearby brush as the rest in the truck had booked it.

The witness' description of the shooters: A bunch of people with rifles and camouflage clothing.

It's unknown exactly how many camouflage-clothed people with rifles were shooting at a truck full of illegal immigrants, and Barkman wasn't up for speculating about who exactly is wearing camo and shooting people coming across the border.

Barkman says the camouflage clothing and the rifles were just about the only two things the people relayed about the shooters.

According to police, the truck was going through a wash that's "commonly used for human smuggling," and the occupants of the truck were "ambushed" as the camo/rifle people opened fire on them.

The names of the two victims have not yet been released.

"Illegal Immigrants Shot, Killed After Being "Ambushed" by People in Camouflage Garb."  

          What's with the picture of a white guy in a camouflage tuxedo? That picture has nothing to do with this article.  It is in fact a picture used by various online catalog stores.  Author Matthew Hendley was very careful not to bring up the color of the camouflaged assailant(s) in this article. Hendley did not provide any sources that pointed to a particular race.  So instead of printing a lie, Hendley did something that is just as unprofessional.  This picture leaves an impression in the readers mind of a white, camouflaged assailant.  Children of my generation learned about this tactic.... it's called  'yellow journalism'.  Hendley's subliminal tactics borderline on 'factual inaccuracies' and downright lies.  Leave the political, pc, left leaning, division tactics out of your work Matthew.  Most, yes I said most, Americans are fed-up with it.

These people who were trying to defending our border were doing thier civil responsibility, and should be commended. And if more people step up and start using better equipment in stopping these illegals. They could do the job far better than the present disfunctional border patrol we have now. Since most of them are of some hispanic descent anyway. I hope much more real Americans will take up the responsibility that our fore fathers would have done 100 times over.

U.S border patrol agents assist in keeping the country free from immigrants who enter the country illegally. Border patrol agents may work in vehicles, on horseback or on foot. There are many methods employed to apprehend immigrants, from low- to high-technology instruments. All borders--including land, river and aerial borders--are covered by border patrol teams.  Furthermore: http://www.immigration-lawyers-toronto.ca

Unfortunately this will probably only become a commonplace news item. However, it should be noted the anger of the legal residents of America , is just coming into view. Illegals need to find a new State to enter. It may be a healthier alternative  to getting shot.

Get it right. Illegal alien, not illegal immigrant. An Immigrant is someone who comes to this country legally and applies for admission under the mandated immigration laws.

There bitching because someone committed against them while they were committing a crime? Shut up. If they weren't breaking the law by coming here illegally in the first place, this would not have happened.

This article proves two things I've been saying for awhile now.......Firstly..When the American citizen starts treating the law the way the illegal foreign national does then someone is going to get hurt.....you can push a free American only so far before he comes looking for you to gravitize your house and all who dwell within.........and Secondly....DNichols is a dilluted moron who proves the old adage that a little education is a dangerous thing..........

Seriuosly though, 2 Mexican drug smuggling gang, the most likely senerio believable, get into it on the boarder, and the fools on this blog get hysterical with conspiracy theories of neo-nazis hunting illegals! The far flung paranoia would be laughable if it weren't so tragic! Don't you all realize that if it were illegals being gunned down by neo-nazis the pro-open boarders biased media would be all over it? Instead you read a blurp inthe PHX NEWTIMES, all project all your leftist fantasies into it. Get a damn grip already!

The Border needs to be Controled by the Federal Government, not Drunken Vigilante's.

Murdering Vigilantes need to face "Justice".

Over 20,000 Real "American Heroes" gave their lives to Help Rid the "World" of Racist Murdering Nazi's

It sickens me to hear these Anti-Americans on Memorial Day Weekend to say on Local News that: "Hitler was a great man."

Memorial Day Weekend is when we "Honor" our Fallen Troops!

God bless those camouflaged heroes. If only more Americans had the moral spine to defend this nation from outright illegal invasion by rapist, murdering, thieving, illegal Hispanics.

Pray for these good souls. May their only punishment be a large monetary reward for services as a patriotic defender of this nation.

Your freaking out your mind, who has the GD right to shoot innocent people that pose no harm to any American? All thwy want to do is become an American. Detaining illegal immigrants is the humane decision. White Americans or any American should not be able to kill on private property of ranch owners or any property period, these are acts of stupid narrowed minded people with hatred in there heart and mind. I bet they even have the nerve to call themselves Christians, try to find something in a King George Bible to justify killing.

Your ludicrous 'pose no harm's statement simply does not mesh with the reality of the situation we face. Bringing drugs, gangs, cartel, violence, diseases, illiteracy, poverty, trash, bed bugs- no thanks! Or you could just prove to us all how wonderful they really are by going to live in El Salvador yourself instead of bringing them all here if you really believe your own load of crap. http://www.aztlan.net/racist_a...

If we as Americans break the law, we go to jail. We have a governmet that could care less if a Mexican breaks the laws by comming here illegally. People die because people are pissed that they (/americans)  have to live by laws, and Mexicans don't.  Sympathisers have never had to worry about their things being stolen, cattle killed, and property damaged by those that come here. We are called racists and haters...why? We are the ones being invaded. They take the risks knowing they could be killed. Sorry. We are the ones under attack, and you who help should be charged with Conspiracy, and aiding and abetting a criminal.

Deputy Dawn Barkman wouldn't speculate on who was wearing Camo, and shooting Hispanic's?

However was glad to speculate on how many Hispanics could have been in the truck, and gotten away.

Interesting, seems to be more concern by the Sheriffs of Pinal County in the number that may have gotten away, then who the Camouflaged Murderers were?

Ah, the Arizona "Cesspool".

this is a strange news story, like it's only half there, or something. two illegal aliens out of thirty were caught... what happened to the other 28? have they been apprehended and deported yet?

The number of thirty was just speculation by the Deputy that wouldn't speculate on who the Camo wearing Murderers were.

In other words it was pure "Bullshit".

Two victims? Hmmm...

Please note the subliminal suggestion with the photo on the right of two whites, one appears to be wearing a cammie suit coat. MSM is working it again! Remember what NBC did on the Trayvon tape? This is that same stuff.

Afterall, if we can't make Americans the real terrorist, who are we going to have to apply all of the laws to, NDAA for starters. And, since Americans are right here, we already have the people to put into all of those FEMA camps. Just need to start a good race riot or another Ruby Ridge to get things started.

Mexicans and otm's have been dying at our border since time began. There have alwaays been shoot 'em ups there!!

Question, did the illegal aliens use a cell phone to report the crime? Curious, just how did the sherif's office become aware that this had occurred, afterall, it was in a very remote area?

Caution: We are TRULY on our own! Beware the manipulative press!!!!

Did Governor Brewer set up a Million Dollar Fund to Fund Vigilantee's with our Taxes?

If she did by State Funding these Vigilantee's Governor Brewer bypassed U.S. Rule of Law, and essentially made these Thugs paid State Police.

Real Police have to pass a background check, be fully vetted, pass a pyscologcal Test, then are trained, supervised, and must follow strict rules, and all Laws.

Governor Brewer dosn't even know who these Vigilantee Monsters are.

In my oppinion if Governor Brewer Funded these Murdering Vigilantees, she has entered into a Murder for Hire Scheme, which appears to have been carried out for her near Eloy!

The State of Arizona can not be allowed to Investigate their corrupt selves in this International multiple Murder.

The Arizona Sheriffs, and Politicians have known ties to these Vigilantees.

To: True Justice.  (Even in the "Arizona Political Cesspool".)
