And to think Arizona might think things have reached a point where checking a criminal’s legal status is warranted. Silly fascists.

A Pinal County Sheriff’s deputy was shot in the stomach Friday by an undocumented immigrant off Interstate 8, according sheriff’s officials.

Lt. Tami Villar told 12 News that the search and rescue deputy was investigating a load of marijuana in the desert and was confronted by five suspects.

Deputies believe at least two people were armed with long guns and at least one handgun. The deputy, whose name was not released, was patrolling alone in what is considered a high-traffic drug and human-smuggling corridor.

Wow, illegal aliens with drugs and weapons, shooting law enforcement officers trying to protect the public. And when it’s not that, we have ranchers being murdered on their property and innocent people being kidnapped.

Now you can see why even minorities support the new status check law in Arizona. They’re reached a breaking point and they’ve had more than enough.
