It sits beside Mexico’s deadliest city, Ciudad Juárez.

Nearly a third of its residents are foreign-born, many of them from Mexico and undocumented and struggling financially.

Yet El Paso, Texas manages to come out on top as the safest large city in the United States – a distinction due in no small part to the trust law enforcement authorities in El Paso County have built between themselves and the largely Mexican immigrant community, said Sheriff Richard Wiles.

“We’ve worked years and years to build up that trust,â€

They seem to leave out the cities that can not enforce laws because it would offend the Hispanic Communities. So in other words they are allowed to break other laws while being illegally in the country. Enough of playing games and get them out if they do not want to do it the legal way.

One thing that worries me is ,if these laws are passed in other states,you know darn well there will be individuls or groups plotting and scheming to make sure those policies fail,so they can throw it in our faces. Or they will at least try to.

If enforcing our immigration law offends hispanics , THEY CAN GET THE HELL OUT , WHO NEEDS UM

This is not mexico or any other "hispanic" country , If these idiots are that racist or ethnocentric , American is better off without them

Sorry if thats harsh , but thats how I feel

[quote]The coalition, and other advocates of providing the undocumented with a path to citizenship, plan a Feb. 22 rally – and a visit to congressional offices around the state – “to send the message that a xenophobic agenda doesn’t go with Texas,â€

"That's not harsh enough, if their not willing to enforce the laws on the books what other laws are they turning a blind eye to!"
Screw em' their all on the take if that's the case!

ElPaso is facing additional problems also. Since moving the Air Defense Training school out of Fort Bliss they Army has decided to move in the Armor units there. Fort Bliss that sits just ourside of El Paso expects to see the population of military to grow from approx. 4700 to near 50,000. I can see an increase of crime in El Paso with the added population coming in. They need to get a grip on the illegals, the drug problems and the illegals committing crimes there real quick before there are major problems involving the military and their dependants.

its not anti immigrant.
its anti ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT

BIG Difference

Note how the terms "anti-immigrant and anti-immigant laws" are used throughout this letter? I am sick to death of the pro-illegals spinning the word illegal alien into "immigrant". They aren't immigrants!

So we should shield lawbreakers so that they will rat on other lawbreakers? What a lame excuse not to enforce our immigration laws against these people.

Xenophobia is a fear of strangers. Who the hell is a stranger in our country? Don't we already have every ethnic group and race living here LEGALLY already? It is just another unwarrented smear word that the pro-illegals use to demonize law abiding Americans.

Any Police Officer/Sheriff who whines about enforcing any law should be FIRED immediatly. That should be part of any new Illegal Immigration Law passed by any State.
