As if to hammer into us why the new Arizona Law that allows law enforcement to ask people about their legal status is such an important step to reduce the number of illegal aliens in the State of Arizona, five suspected illegal alien drug-smugglers in Arizona shot a Pinal County Sheriff’s deputy when he approached them and their cargo of marijuana.
The deputy, Louie Puroll, was shot with an AK-47, and when police helicopters arrived on the scene, they were shot at as well.
Illegal aliens are more likely to commit crimes than are legal aliens, and often the crimes the illegal aliens are associated with involve the drug trade. The crimes are also not confined to small areas. Often, the criminal activity of these illegal aliens span across the nation where communities throughout the United States are experiencing an increase in the numbers of illegal aliens, as well as an increase in violent criminal activities that are most often also associated with drug importation and distribution, and weapons smuggling.
Since the federal government refuses to enforce immigration law, and refuses to abide by the U.S. Constitution that demands the federal government protect the states from foreign invasion, increased demands are being placed on state and local law enforcement personnel. This is one of the motivating factors behind Arizona's recent immigration law that spells out the expectations of law enforcement officers when it comes to enforcing immigration law in the State of Arizona.
According to Jim Kouri, the Law Enforcement Examiner for Examiner.com, more than two-thirds of the defendants charged with an immigration offense were identified as having been previously arrested. Thirty-six percent had been arrested on at least 5 prior occasions; 22%, 2 to 4 times; and 12%,1 time.
Sixty-one percent of those defendants had been convicted at least once; 18%, 5 or more times; 26%, 2 to 4 times; and 17%, 1 time. Of those charged, 49% had previously been convicted of a felony: 20% of a drug offense; 18%, a violent offense; and 11%, other felony offenses.
Twelve percent had previously been convicted of a misdemeanor.
Therefore, the belief that the willingness to break immigration law to come into this country in the first place leads illegal aliens to commit other crimes while in the United States is statistically true. Unfortunately, the Immigration and Naturalization Act, Section 275, that considers illegal entry into the U.S. without inspection to be a misdemeanor, and repeated illegal entry as a felony, is not being enforced, and as a result, criminals are entering the country, and ranchers and police officers are dying.
Mr. Kouri goes on to tell us that fifty-six percent of those charged with a reentry offense had previously been convicted of a violent or drug-related felony.
That alone should be enough to convince other states to enact legislation similar to Arizona's law, and for the federal government to avoid amnesty and enforce the law instead.
