> I'm Arizona State Senator Sylvia Allen. I want to explain SB 1070 which I
> voted for and was just signed by Governor Jan Brewer. Rancher Rob Krantz
> was murdered by the drug cartel on his ranch a month ago. I participated
> in a senate hearing two weeks ago on the border violence, here is just
> some of the highlights from those who testified.
>
> The people who live within 60 to 80 miles of the Arizona/Mexico Border
> have for years been terrorized and have pleaded for help to stop the daily
> invasion of humans who cross their property . One Rancher testified that
> 300 to 1200 people a DAY come across his ranch vandalizing his property,
> stealing his vehicles and property, cutting down his fences, and leaving
> trash. In the last two years he has found 17 dead bodies and two Koran
> bibles.
>
> Another rancher testified that daily drugs are brought across his ranch in
> a military operation. A point man with a machine gun goes in front, 1/2
> mile behind are the guards fully armed, 1/2 mile behind them are the
> drugs, behind the drugs 1/2 mile are more guards. These people are violent
> and they will kill anyone who gets in the way. This was not the only
> rancher we heard that day that talked about the drug trains.
>
> One man told of two illegal's who came upon his property one shot in the
> back and the other in the arm by the drug runners who had forced them to
> carry the drugs and then shot them. Daily they listen to gun fire during
> the night it is not safe to leave his family alone on the ranch and they
> can't leave the ranch for fear of nothing being left when they come back.
>
> The border patrol is not on the border. They have set up 60 miles away
> with check points that do nothing to stop the invasion. They are not
> allowed to use force in stopping anyone who is entering. They run around
> chasing them, if they get their hands on them then they can take them back
> across the border.
>
> Federal prisons have over 35% illegal's and 20% of Arizona prisons are
> filled with illegal's. In the last few years 80% of our law enforcement
> that have been killed or wounded have been by an illegal.
>
> The majority of people coming now are people we need to be worried about.
> The ranchers told us that they have seen a change in the people coming
> they are not just those who are looking for work and a better life.
>
> The Federal Government has refused for years to do anything to help the
> border states. We have been over run and once they are here we have the
> burden of funding state services that they use. Education cost have been
> over a billion dollars. The healthcare cost billions of dollars. Our State
> is broke, $3.5 billion deficit and we have many serious decisions to make.
> One is that we do not have the money to care for any who are not here
> legally. It has to stop. The border can be secured. We have the technology
> we have the ability to stop this invasion. We must know who is coming and
> they must come in an organized manner legally so that we can assimilate
> them into our population and protect the sovereignty of our country. We
> are a nation of laws. We have a responsibility to protect our citizens and
> to protect the integrity of our country and the government which we live
> under.

> I would give amnesty today to many, but here is the problem, we dare not
> do this until the Border is secure. It will do no good to forgive them
> because thousands will come behind them and we will be over run to the
> point that there will no longer be the United States of America but a
> North American Union of open borders. I ask you what form of government
> will we live under? How long will it be before we will be just like
> Mexico, Canada or any of the other Central American or South American
> countries? We have already lost our language, everything must be printed
> in Spanish also. We have already lost our history it is no longer taught
> in our schools. And we have lost our borders.

> The leftist media has distorted what SB 1070 will do. It is not going to

> will do everything to protect those who are here illegally, but it was an
> effort to try and stop illegal's from setting up businesses, and
> employment, and receiving state services and give the ability to local law
> enforcement when there is probable cause like a traffic stop to determine

> Arizona all you need to show you are a legal citizen is a driver license,
> MVD identification card, Native American Card, or a Military ID. This is
