An interesting result of the incident where an Arizona Pinal Country Sheriff's deputy found five illegal aliens with a stash of drugs, and they opened fire on him. More then 30 shots were exchanged, and the deputy was wounded.
The Sheriff's Dept immediately sent every officer they had, to the area where the battle had been, searching for the illegals who had shot the deputy. And the Border Patrol did the same. This is a desolate area, no houses, towns, etc., nothing but tumbleweeds and cactus, and very few roads.
The Sheriff's men found **17** illegal aliens hiding in the area.
And the Border Patrol, having more experience in the ways of illegal aliens, did their own searches of the area, and turned up MORE THAN A HUNDRED more.
Nope, I can't figure out why the state of Arizona decided they had a problem with illegal aliens entering their state, can you?

Suspects in shooting of Pinal County deputy still at large

Despite capturing 17 illegal immigrants during a two-day sweep of a 10-square-mile stretch of desert near Stanfield, 20 miles south of Maricopa, five suspects in the Friday shooting of a Pinal County deputy remain at large, according to Pinal County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Lt. Tamatha Villar.
Villar said three of the suspects the sheriff’s department picked up were key witnesses in the investigation. Villar said one of the shooters is a light-skinned Mexican male, with a Sinaloan accent who was wearing a green-brown, army fatigue-type long-sleeve shirt, tan-colored pants, ball-cap style hat and black hiking boots. The other suspect is a darker-skinned Mexican male last wearing a grey long-sleeve "hoodie" sweatshirt, green-colored pants and black-and-white tennis shoes. The only information available on the other three is that they were longer-haired Hispanics.
The shooting occurred late Friday afternoon around 5 p.m. when Deputy Louie Puroll, 53, was patrolling the area near Interstate 8 and came across a stash of marijuana bales and five suspected smugglers.
A firefight between the deputy and suspects ensued with at least 30 shots being exchanged, Villar said. At one point, the deputy discarded his pistol because it either ran out of bullets or jammed and began to fire with his tactical rifle. During the fight, the deputy was hit in the back, the bullet ripping out a sizable piece of flesh.
Puroll used his phone to call for help, setting off a frantic hour-long multi-agency search for the deputy in the remote desert, Villar said. Hundreds of both federal and state law enforcement officers, including those from Maricopa Police Department, took part in a two-day search for the suspects. Villar said Puroll was treated and released from the hospital, and he is home doing well.
While the county deputies rounded up 17, the U.S. Border Patrol captured more than 100 in the same time span during the search, according to Villar. However, Border Patrol spokesman Mario Escalante could not provide an exact number. “We do not provide any details about ongoing investigations,” Escalante said.
The search of the area has been called off, but Villar said that the number of deputies patrolling the area has been increased.
"It is clear to everyone that our frontline security personnel need to be provided with the manpower and resources to secure our borders and keep dangerous criminals like those who attacked Deputy Puroll out of this country,” said Arizona congressional representative Ann Kirkpatrick. “I firmly believe that any long-term solution must include greatly expanding the U.S. Border Patrol.
"However, because it will take time to hire and train thousands of additional agents, the federal government should immediately deploy the National Guard to the border to tighten security right away. There can be no further question that we have to put more boots on the ground to protect our communities, and we have to do it now. This incident must serve as a wake-up call for Washington; there are real lives at stake, and there is no more time to waste."
