Arizona, apparently, is a hellhole.
Just listen to the state’s governor, Jan Brewer (R): "Our law enforcement agencies have found bodies in the desert either buried or just lying out there that have been beheaded."
Whoa! Gruesome! And this never-ending parade of carnage and death in the Grand Canyon State is apparently only getting worse:
"And the majority of [undocumented immigrants], in my opinion, and I think in the opinion of law enforcement, is that they are not coming here to work. They are coming here and they’re bringing drugs. And they’re doing drop houses and they’re extorting people and they’re terrorizing the families. That is the truth."
Wow. What a nightmare! Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) says the violence in his state is "the worst I’ve ever seen." At a committee hearing, McCain painted the direst picture: "The violence along our southern border is increasing and impeding everyday life and the peace of mind of our citizens in the border region. Some believe that they are living in a lawless land where there is little or no consequence for the violation of their land, property and well-being."
Mike Huckabee could only sadly concur, "They’re the No. 1 kidnapping capital in the world. They’ve seen people murdered who were simply trying to take care of their farms and families." Wow! Arizona is the No. 1 kidnapping capital in the world? Really? Leading Baghdad, Mogadishu and Mexico City?
Of course, none of it is true. But really:
