  1. They should honestly, along with New Mexico, and California.
  2. Nice story, sounds like a magical place still where the government doesn't control everything. I wanted to build a small cabin on my land that I own outright in the middle of almost nowhere in AZ with my own money, and the County still has building codes, guidelines, inspections you have to pass for anything over 250 square feet that is not for livestock use. Maybe I could hire some migrants to do it cheap, but wonder how many inspections I would fail?
  3. In California, and especially AZ, they love it when your A/C goes out in your home or car. They start dreaming about the $$$$ they can get out of you. Especially AZ, because they know you aren't living here without it...
  4. I probably don't live where you live, and I did shop around, had to get multiple quotes for insurance.
  5. That was what I was quoted by 4 different companies in the area. It was just a standard tile roof, on almost 1,900 square foot house....With a big back porch that got reshingled also.
  6. Maybe they do, but they still charge an arm and a leg no matter, at least where I have owned homes in the last 10 years. Spent 20,000 dollars on a roof replacement, and almost 20,000 dollars having A/C replaced on last house I owned...
  7. I have done all of that because of people I know in the Border Patrol that have asked me to volunteer..I've went down there to help when it's Summer here too when it's hot enough to fry an egg on the top of your head.. My friends and I ride in on horseback and hunt and camp in a lot of the same areas as well, and have helped many immigrants with food, water, directions for help, etc. Have run into several drug mules, and spotters up in the mountains, just stay away from those types.
  8. More chance than anyone on here that probably hasn't even been near the really bad parts of the border, and think every story is sensationalized for political reasons, or just numb to the stories so don't give a shit.. If you're from AZ, have you ever volunteered to go down to the border with groups that help distressed immigrants in the desert? Or groups that clean up the trash down there or find and bury the bodies? Or do you just sit on your ass watching Juan mow your lawn In Gilbert, or Scottsdale?
  9. They did cover it, but it happened years ago. It was on the local news here in Arizona for a while... Do you think they cover border crap daily here? It's like nonstop bad news, ranchers complaining, drug busts, dead people found in desert, cartel shootouts across the border...It's same shit, different day, every day, so anything that happens anymore doesn't even much make the evening news here, like that story above...First time I heard about it was from my friend and I read it on the internet..
  10. You want a recent story from what you might consider a trustworthy news source, here you go - https://www.cbsnews.com/news/five-bodies-found-in-torched-suv-in-arizona-likely-drug-related-violence-police-say/ Half the shit doesn't even get reported anymore, because like you said, the cartels are violent, and everyone knows it and who gives a shit, right?
  11. It's because it happened years ago, and honestly it's not huge news anymore...They've found hundreds of bodies in the desert mostly due to exhaustion, being abandon by the coyote cartel dudes leaving them behind. There's groups of people that go out searching for the bodies to make sure they get buried properly...If you want a similar more recent story of how the cartels murder and rid themselves of enemies in Arizona here you go - https://www.cbsnews.com/news/five-bodies-found-in-torched-suv-in-arizona-likely-drug-related-violence-police-say/
  12. There's been problems at the border since forever, and it's just gotten progressively worse to the point it is at now. Everyone who has been elected in DC that's watched the shitshow for years and years is responsible. It shouldn't even be a question on either side of the aisle that we need way better laws around immigration...They all just keep passing the buck on the issue or coming up with really stupid "supposedly bipartisan" crappy Bills that they know will never pass...In fact, it seems like the only time they try to make laws is when they know that it won't pass.
  13. They get something called FERS...I don't know anything about it, but I know a couple of retired police officers in Phoenix that make really good money from their pension. Like close to the salary they were making when they retired...Not sure if it's the same though..
  14. I did answer. But, to be more precise, they feel like they are not being allowed to do the job they were hired and trained to do. They are basically being forced to be babysitters and paper pushers and work very long hours and not enforce the law. They wanted to work in law enforcement and make a difference. Now they are just used as pawns by politicians. Top that off with all the shit they've seen related to patrolling the border for many years and the strain it's put on their family life then yeah, they have some mental health issues... They are literally just in it for the pension now, and counting the days, and hate the job, the ones I know..
  15. Why don't you ask to go on a patrol with them at night in the southern mountains of Arizona? Then you can find out how they feel. We know that ain't happening, Right? From what I see, most of them just want to collect their pension and retire, or shoot themselves...It's not an easy job...You realize a lot of them have committed suicide right?
