Cut border deaths with enforcement

Jun. 7, 2008 12:00 AM

Regarding "Our lethal policies" (Editorial, Monday):

The Republic's lament of the deaths on the border glossed over the most interesting fact: Deaths dropped last year due to increased enforcement. On the other hand, "comprehensive" reforms, like those in 1986 and 1996 and the bill defeated in 2006, have led to huge increases in illegal immigration and more deaths.

Let's enforce our immigration laws, including employer enforcement, so we can reduce the number of deaths and regain control of our borders. - Jerel McDonald,Tucson
