Illegal Aliens Break Into Congressman's House
2005-08-05
The home of U.S. Rep. Jim Kolbe, R-Ariz., was broken into by a group of suspected illegal immigrants but little damage was done, authorities said. Santa Cruz Sheriff Tony Estrada said a friend of Kolbe's reported the break-in on July 23 when he noticed one of the home's doors was wide open. Sheriff's deputies, Border Patrol agents and Patagonia police responded to the home in Sonoita, which is 25 miles north of the Mexican border.

The culprits apparently showed little interest in items of value and left untouched a computer, television, and rifle. Instead, they appeared to have showered, prepared a meal in the microwave, and helped themselves to a change of the congressman's clothes. The scene was consistent with similar cases involving migrant break-ins along the border, said Patagonia Assistant Police Chief Thomas Schenek. "The only real items you see taken or gone through in cases like this are food and clothing," he said. Estrada said the case will remain open until Kolbe can make a complete inventory of the missing items.
They had better not break into homes of liberal democrat congressmen. Those liberals arm themselves with automatic weapons and shoot anything that moves.

#6  Good news. We have one less RINO. Be sure to welcome the prodigal son Kolbe, with open arms.


Moose,

Actually, liberals are cowards. They hire people to do their shooting. I can't for the life of me, picture a liberal, oiling much less shooting, a .270 hunting rifle.

#5  I used to live in the Sonoita area, and now reside in Tucson. What happened is quite common in these parts. What more can be said on the illegal immigration topic? Arizona building industry, food service industry, and housekeeping industry runs on illegal labor...Republicans want the cheap labor and the Democrats/Identity Politics crowd want the increasing numbers of "victimized" undocumented workers as recruits...see MEXIFORNIA by Victor Davis Hanson for details...

#3  Just drove from LA to Austin last month via I10. What a godforsaken territory. I can't even imagine living 25 miles from the border. It's all freakin'desert!!

#2  Kolbe happens to be My Rep. He's one of the "open-borders" big-business Republicans. Or, at least, he was...
