To set things up for the video at the end of the article, I need to take you back to February 23, 2009 when Arizona State Senator Jonathan Paton (R-Tucson) invited law enforcement officials to the Capital for a hearing. Paton asked the officers to describe how bad the border violence has become in Arizona.
What the Senators learned, was that Pima and Cochise counties were seeing an increase of violence due to Cartels picking up the pace of smuggling their drugs. The agents have found a scarves marked with the word Kaibil, the name of Guatemala's special forces. They were probably hired by the drug cartels as security for the drug mules. The Border Patrol also found found machetes, brass knuckles, and a couple of bulletproof vests that are more sophisticated than what our troops use in Iraq. The vest, pictured below is strong enough to repel multiple rifle shots.
