Border Line: Teetering Tensions on the Mexico Border
ARIZONA – MEXICO BORDER - One of the very first things congressional leaders have promised to do this year is take up legislation that would crack down on illegal immigration.
Congressman James Sensenbrenner's (R-WI) demand that such measures be included in the 9-11 intelligence overhaul late last year ended up derailing that overhaul for weeks. CBN News recently traveled to the Arizona-Mexico border, where angry residents are screaming for a crackdown on illegals. That is because the massive flood of foreigners is ruining many Arizonans' way of life along the border. Some three million illegals likely sneaked across the border between Mexico and Arizona last year. In their way are a few tens of thousands of ranchers and other Arizonans, Americans who are growing angry at the crimes and hassles these illegals inflict on them as they sweep in from Mexico. Vance showed us a Muslim prayer rug found right near his house. He said, "And it shows there's not just Mexicans coming across there, 'cause I don't think there's many Muslims in Mexico." http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/news/050104a.asp |

Border patrol setting records for arrests
After a 2004 fiscal year that was one of the busiest in recent years, arrests made by U.S. Border Patrol agents in the Yuma sector show no signs of flagging.
Agent Joe Brigman, Yuma sector spokesman, said just over 23,000 illegal immigrants were arrested by U.S. Border Patrol agents from October to December, the first quarter of the 2005 fiscal year. "We're experiencing dramatic increases in the number of illegal aliens attempting to enter in the Yuma sector," Brigman said. http://sun.yumasun.com/artman/publish/articles/story_14014.php |
