Hi,
My goal is to get information out to as many people as possible and pray for our nation. The border that we share with Mexico has been heavy on my heart so this is where I will begin our journey together.
Consider the Facts
-In 2008, The U.S. Justice Department said recently that Mexican gangs are the "biggest organized crime threat to the United States."
-Until January of 2009, any smugglers carrying under the threshold of 500 pounds were often not prosecuted. Smugglers began purposely carrying smaller loads or coming in just below 500 pounds to try to escape prosecution.
-In 2009, Phoenix had more than 370 kidnapping cases last year, turning it into the kidnapping capital of the U.S. Most of the victims were illegal aliens or linked to the drugs trade.
-Narcotics prosecutions in Arizona have risen 202% in 16 months and that is still not handling all of the arrests that are made according to Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse.
1,080 prosecutions will be refused this year in Tucson sector alone. This represents over one third of all unprosecuted cases in the Southwest.
-According to Phoenix Police Department, there have already been 95 home invasion robberies in 2010, following 398 in 2009 and 376 in 2008.
-An estimated 5 to 10 % of all marijuana produced in Mexico is transported by highly organized and compartmentalized Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations each year through the Tohono O’odham Reservation, which accounts for less than 4% percent of the U.S.-Mexico Border.

"I was asked by a caller Thursday whether Jesus would, if he were governor, sign the Arizona immigration law. "In a heartbeat," I answered.
Why, I asked rhetorically? "Because of his compassion.
"This compassion is for the citizens of Arizona who are subject to home invasions, out-of-control drug trafficking, human smuggling, the constant threat of kidnappings, and a $2.7 billion price tag for all the social problems caused by illegal aliens. The costs of education, welfare, medical care and law enforcement may wind up bankrupting the state. The compassion of Jesus goes out to Arizonans who live with constant social disruption and suffer a steady drain on resources which should be available to take care of their families. And all because politicians have failed to use the authority God has delegated to them to "carr(y) out God's wrath on the wrongdoer." (Romans 13:4)
About 1/5 of American teenagers use drugs, and the vast majority of those drugs - up to 90% by some estimates - comes into the U.S. across our southern border. Drug abuse is a plague being driven by heartless cartels who move their drugs, whether cocaine, methamphetamine, or marijuana across the porous perimeter we share with Mexico. The compassion of Jesus goes out to teenagers and their parents whose lives are ravaged by illicit drugs.
Law enforcement officials in Phoenix had to deal with 316 kidnappings last year alone, almost one a day, one kidnapping every 35 hours. Phoenix is now second only to Mexico City as the kidnap capital of the world, and somewhere between 70% and 90% of those snatches are perpetrated by illegal aliens. The compassion of Jesus goes out to the families and neighborhoods living with the constant fear of being grabbed off the street and held for ransom.
One caller to my program yesterday told of an incident recently in which a coyote busted into his home, armed to the teeth with an automatic weapon, and ordered him at gunpoint to feed the illegal aliens the coyote was transporting, about 15 in all. Then the coyote shot up the caller's home on his way back out into the darkness. And this 20 miles inside sovereign United States territory. The compassion of Jesus goes out to families living in constant fear of home invasions.
One rancher, Robert Krentz, was killed in cold blood on his ranch earlier this year, a ranch that had been repeatedly vandalized and trashed by illegals. Apparently he ran into a runner for one of the drug cartels and paid for it with his life. This likewise 20 miles inside sovereign U.S. territory. Krentz had always taken care of the physical needs (for drinking water, for instance) of every illegal alien he apprehended on his ranch and treated them with civility until law enforcement showed up. The compassion of Jesus goes out to the family of Robert Krentz, who have lost a husband, father, brother, uncle and friend.
Illegal aliens destroyed the property of rancher Roger Barnett, killed his calves and broke into his home. They tore up water pumps, tore down fences and gates, and stole his trucks. Some of his cattle died after ingesting the plastic bottles left behind by illegals, and he installed a faucet on an 8,000 gallon water tank so they could get water without damaging the tank.
The immigrant trails that cross his property are littered with trash 10 inches deep, including human waste, used toilet paper, soiled diapers, cigarette packs, clothes, backpacks, empty one-gallon water bottles, chewing-gum wrappers and aluminum foil (used to pack the drugs coyotes give to their "clients" to keep them running).
He was forced to spend $30,000 on electronic sensors and has to spend valuable time patrolling his own property. All told, he has turned over 12,000 illegal aliens to the Border Patrol in the last 12 years. For his trouble, he is now being sued for $32 million in actual and punitive damages by 16 illegal aliens he detained on his own ranch. The compassion of Jesus goes out to this man, his family and the rest of Arizona's ranchers who live near the border.
Although illegals comprise nine percent of Arizona's population, they are responsible for 22 percent of all felonies committed in the state. Illegals are responsible for almost 17 percent of violent crimes, almost 19 percent of crimes against property, over 33 percent of drug crimes, and over 44 percent of crimes of fraud and forgery. The compassion of Jesus goes out to every victim of a senseless crime committed by someone who has no legal, moral or ethical right even to be in this country.
Three Border Patrol agents, on average, are assaulted every day. The compassion of Jesus goes out to them and their families who wonder every day if they will come home again.
Would Jesus sign the immigration bill? He'd sign it so fast it'd give you a nosebleed. He has far too much compassion for innocent victims not to."
I agree with him, but I also believe Jesus would have compassion on the illegal that is trying to honestly cross the border to make a better life for him/her and their family. Jesus has compassion on the illegals that are being taken advantage of by coyotes (a smuggler that promises help to navigate the illegals across the border for a price). And Jesus has compassion on those dieing in the desert.
Insert from 2005- Record numbers of illegal immigrants who cross into the US from Mexico have died in the heat of the Arizona desert in the past year. At least 229 immigrants are known to have died since 1 October 2004, the US Border Patrol said.
Many died while wandering through vast desert areas where summer temperatures regularly soar past 40C (104 Farenheit).
In one Arizona county, a refrigerated trailer is being used to store up to 70 extra bodies as the morgue is full.
Temperatures in the western US desert regions have remained unceasingly "brutal" throughout the summer, Border Patrol spokesman Jose Garza told the Reuters news agency.
"The smugglers continue to bring these people to the vastness of our western deserts... and we cannot control the elements."
Temperatures in Arizona have peaked at 44C this year, with the mercury in Tucson staying at 40C or above for 29 consecutive days in June and July. An estimated 81 immigrants died during that heatwave.
Arizona serves as the main crossing point for some 1.1 million immigrants who make the journey into the US from Mexico each year. Border Patrol officers have carried out about 700 missions to rescue immigrants stranded in the desert region this summer.
