PHOENIX - Law officers apprehended 17 suspected illegal immigrants while hunting for suspected pot smugglers who shot and wounded a sheriff's deputy in a remote desert area 50 miles south of Phoenix.

Pinal County sheriff's Lt. Tamatha Villar says three of those captured match descriptions given by the deputy. They were being questioned Saturday morning.

The violent episode came amid nationwide debate over the state's tough new immigration law.

At some point, the people of America, R, D or I, will have to decide what is more important......protecting the lives of true US citizens, or the lives of those crossing our borders illegally, willing to kill legal US citizens.

Knock me over with a feather.....we agree on something.

Oh no, this can't be true. I was just reading here that the poor illegals are the victims. Funny, how if they'd not come here they couldn't possibly be victims of the so-very-unfair US system.

I'm guessing this sort of thing was part of WHY this AZ law was necessary?

Suspects my a**! They know full well that these are the criminal illegal aliens!
