The phony Arizona border war continues apace. The latest development is an Arizona deputy who claims he was shot by violent marijuana smugglers on the border in April. The deputy was duly honored with a Purple Heart by none other than Senator John McCain (R-AZ).

Meanwhile, border crossing deaths among immigrants have reached the second highest annual number, 236.
