The Mexican government, citing concern about a growing anti-migrant climate in Arizona, is creating a telephone call center to take complaints and assist its citizens when they run into problems.
The call center, expected to open next week, will be in Tucson. It is the first of several that will eventually be set up in cities near the U.S.-Mexico border.
McALLEN -- Recent U.S. efforts to disrupt drug smuggling routes through the Rio Grande Valley have prompted threats of retaliation against authorities on this side of the river, according to an FBI intelligence report.
Vowing to maintain control over valuable trafficking corridors such as those in Reynosa, Matamoros and Miguel Alemán, the Gulf Cartel and its paramilitary enforcement wing, Los Zetas, have begun stockpiling weapons, reaching out to Texas gangs and issuing orders to "confront U.S. law enforcement agencies to zealously protect their criminal interests," the report states.
As the most powerful drug trafficking force in the region, Mexican organized crime has spread far beyond the country in search of supplies for drugs to meet US demand, Sam Logan writes for ISN Security Watch.
Assassinations related to drug trafficking in Mexico are on pace to pass 4,000 this year. By any count, violence in Mexico is at historical highs, and it is bad for business. Since the end of 2007, when Mexican President Felipe Calderon increased government pressure on organized crime, both the Sinaloa and the Gulf cartels have reached beyond Mexican boundaries to source supplies, secure trafficking routes and kill rivals.
TUCSON — Law enforcement officials are monitoring the organized crime violence wracking northern Mexico and have a response plan ready should it spill over the border, the U.S. Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector chief said Tuesday.
Chief Robert Gilbert said the patrol and other local, state and federal law enforcement agents started planning about 1 1/2 years ago, “and it’s something that we continue to work with everybody’s involvement pretty much.”
"It's a direct correlation," said Rep. Russell Pearce.
The latest FBI crime reports show an overall decrease in violent crime around the Phoenix area in 2007 and some observers believe it's the result of illegal aliens leaving Arizona for other states, like Texas.
We hear so much these days about the separation of families due to immigration raids, but no one seems to mention the family separation as a result of both legal and illegal immigration to the United States and other parts of the world.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Migration met recently with Assistant Secretary Julie Myers of the Department of Homeland Security to encourage a decrease or elimination of immigration raids. They cited the separation of families as one of their reasons the raids should cease. These bishops are only addressing symptoms of a larger problem. The parents caught in the raids broke the law. If they are deported, their children can come with them. The decision to break up their families was theirs, not ICE’s.
In 1998 is when my family and I first moved to Lakewood, Ocean County, New Jersey. We lived in a two family, second story apartment on 5th Street. At this time, we were pretty ignorant about the entire illegal alien problem. But the area we moved into, seemed to have almost every other house occupied with, what appeared to be, huge families living in single family homes. Most of them were from Mexico.
While illegal aliens flee strict immigration enforcement policies in several states and settle in Texas, the state's budget is suffering and violent crime, soaring.
News reports indicate a flood of illegal aliens is coming from states such as Arizona and Oklahoma – where immigration crackdowns have made life more difficult for them. In the meantime, Texas' violent crime rates have taken a turn for the worse.
An Owasso man is searching for answers after his wife's death in a hit-and-run accident.
As a former police officer and fire chief, Bob Shouse believes that when a driver leaves the scene of an accident, that alone is cause for an arrest.
That's why he can't understand why the man who fled after crashing an SUV into his wife's motorcycle, causing her death, was never taken into custody and now might have left the country.
