Do you know how much we hear lately about how dangerous Arizona is? According to White Nationalist supported Russell Pearce (sb1070 sponsor) or any of the pundits you see on TV supporting SB1070, Arizona is the crime capital of the world and "Illeegal Gangs are running rampant through the streets." THIS IS A LIE. THEY ARE SAYING THIS TO SCARE PEOPLE AND TO SELL THEIR PERSPECTIVE. As we all know, the White Supremists have exploited the murder of Good Samaritan rancher Robert Krentz. The police do not know who murdered him. They have no suspects. Local Ranchers have disputed an illegal alien of committing the crime since they never travel alone and investigators found that the perpetrator was alone.
Here are the rankings for 2009/2010 Crime in the US. First by city, then by state. You will see that Arizona does not come in until number 9 and the crime that brings them into the top 10 is Auto Theft. Additionally, no city in Arizona is included in the top 10 crime cities. None. In fact, NO CITY IN A BORDER STATE TO MEXICO is included in the Top 10 Most Dangerous Cities. READ THIS AGAIN! NO CITY IN A BORDER STATE TO MEXICO IS INCLUDED IN THE TOP 10 Most DANGEROUS CITIES. Look at the Dangerous Cities. Detroit and Flint are in Michigan, which borders CANADA. All the cities are in economic despair. NONE of these cities are impacted by Mexican Border issues. NONE. NADA!
So now you know. ALL THE HYPE YOU HEAR ABOUT DANGEROUS BORDER STATES is a Bunch of CRAP! While there is DANGEROUS ACTIVITY IN MEXICO re: Drug Cartels, THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT OF THIS IN THE U.S.
Most Dangerous Cities:
1. Camden, NJ
2. St. Louis, MO
3. Oakland, CA
4. Detroit, MI
5. Flint, MI
6. New Orleans, LA
7. Birmingham, AL
8. Cleveland, OH
9. Jackson, MS
10. Memphis, TN

ReplyDeleteUndoubtedly, economics plays a role. But just because they are not southern border states does not mean that the crime rate is not impacted by illegal aliens. The number of illegals in each city would be an interesting stat to add to the picture.
Also the stats for drug busts is not listed.
A domestic problem caused by citizens is one thing, a problem caused by illegals is yet another. We can't deport the former but we can the latter and that is apparently our policy.
ReplyDeleteYou miss the point Ultima. All the MOST DANGEROUS CITY IN THE WORLD Hype perpetuated by the White Nationalist supported Pearce and those pushing sb1070 are LYING! LYING! LYING! to SCARE People into enacting a RACIAL PROFILING Law.
ReplyDeleteThey Exploited Good Samaritan Rancher Krentz's death. The Police have no suspect. Local Ranchers DO NOT believe the scenario about an "illegal alien" committing the crime because the NEVER travel alone.
ReplyDeleteAll the HYPE pushed by Pearce and his ilk are LIES!
If you want to STOP CRIME, where CRIME is the most RAMPANT, go North young man! GO NORTH!!
ReplyDeleteBorder Crime is most prolific on the CANADIAN Border!!
Admit the Truth Ultima!
Who is to say the crime against this rancher was not perpetrated by one of the wing nuts who answered Carmen Mercers call to come to the border "locked and loaded".
ReplyDeleteAfter all, the firestorm spawned by this crime is exactly what the loony toons relish

ReplyDeleteNothing you posted proves this. The last time I checked Detroit and some of the other cities you mentioned are not on the Canadian border. What states have the most crimes per capita as opposed to cities? At #9, Phoenix has nothing to be proud about.
The top few cities among which is Phoenix doesn't tell the whole story. What are the top ten states in per capita crime? Per capita drug busts?
ReplyDeleteHere's another perspective on the Krentz murder by someone who is in a position to know.
ReplyDeleteUltima,
ReplyDeleteHave you checked your map lately? Detroit is right across the street from Windsor. I used to live there. If you worked downtown, you could lunch in Windsor. Sheesh!
