Gross Negligence
Cartels Outrun, Outgun the Law at Arizona Border

Lukeville Port of Entry: You choose - Right is legal, left is illegal
Arizona Republic -- October 3
Fed report details thriving business behind violent international industry
    "Mexican smuggling rings, now allied with Colombian cartels, outspend, outgun and frequently outmaneuver government agents from both sides of the border because of enormous revenues and cunning operations. [...]
    "When the National Guard built steel vehicle barriers on the Tohono-O'odham Reservation, smugglers engineered a ramp to drive over them.[...]
    "The Guard finished a triple fence at San Luis early this year, and once-rampant illegal immigration there almost halted."

Our observation: According to ABP, the fence at San Luis is double, not triple. Also, as we have said before, the cheesy vehicle barriers built along the border are easily defeated, or circumvented.
