The Arizona Border
In the past, if you were undocumented, it cost $150 to pay a coyote to bring you from Mexico into the United States at any point along our mutual border. Now it costs $2,500 or more and the easiest place to cross with a coyote is along the dangerous border with Arizona. California, which is being so holier than thou over the new Arizona law, built itself a fence to keep the worst of the illegals out of its cities.
Today it is cheaper, easier and far safer to get the paperwork required to enter the United States as a tourist rather than risk dying while walking into Arizona. The United States government does nothing to track the exit of people who enter this country as tourists. There is no reason not to prefer entry as a tourist to walking across the border if you can qualify.
So who enters the United States by walking into Arizona? Criminals walk into Arizona. People who have been convicted of crimes such as murder and rape and have been deported for their crimes cannot get tourist entry into America so they pay coyotes to defeat our laws.
Gang boys with tattoos that reveal their affiliations cannot easily enter the United States through the normal border crossings. They have to pay coyotes.
People who are smuggling drugs walk--or drive--into Arizona ranchland. They don't want to risk getting caught with drugs at the normal border crossings. Drug smugglers mock us, and our laws, but they don't want to risk their valuable drugs being confiscated. They shoot to kill if they believe a rancher or border patrolman is going to interfere with their voyage. They also engage in kidnappings, torture and gang wars inside Arizona.
People from the Middle East who couldn't qualify for tourist visas fly into Mexico and walk into the United States through Arizona. Some of these people may be innocent, but if even one were carrying biological or radioactive weapons, we would all suffer because that one couldn't be caught and stopped while gaining entry to the country by walking into Arizona.
Whether you are sympathetic to "undocumented immigrants" or sick and tired of the "illegal aliens"--you have to recognize that the particular illegals that Arizona is forced to deal with are undesirables to the core. We should be grateful to Arizona for trying to keep these people out of our country.
