As the courts continue to move at a glacial pace in deciding whether
Arizona's tough anti-illegal immigration statute passes constitutional
muster, the need for immediate assistance from the federal government to
stem the human tide pouring across the Arizona border is growing.
Federal statistics showing violent crime actually
olence-mexico.html dropping [1] in Arizona counties bordering Mexico are
beside the point. The facts still show several disturbing trends that
amnesty advocates fail to mention:
* That drop in crime is the result of a huge increase in the number of
federal, county and state law enforcement personnel patrolling the state.
Arizona is one of the most heavily policed states in the nation and
residents have the tax rates to prove it.
* Despite violent crime going down, the Phoenix murder rate is still more
phoenix-seattle-federal/89/ than twice [2]the national average.
news: [3] kidnappings in Phoenix were down 11% last year. The bad news:
there is still more than one kidnapping every day.
* Violent
attacks [4]on border patrol agents are skyrocketing.
* 1/6 of the land area of Arizona is dangerous to travel, according to the
Bureau of Land Management. The BLM has posted
gainst-hiking-or-off-highway-travel-in-southernmost-80-miles-of-arizona
signs [5]along an 80 mile stretch of road encompassing I-8 warning against
hiking or traveling along the southern side of the interstate. Pinal County
Sherriff Paul Babeu, was quoted as saying, "We do not have control of this
area."
