I’m Arizona State Senator Sylvia Allen. I want to explain SB 1070 for which I voted yes. Rancher Robert Krentz 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 costs 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.

What's really unbelievable about all the push-back from the bleeding-heart crowd... is that they have no sympathy for American citizens who are having to deal with this mess. It doesn't matter to them that armed "drug trains" are coming across our border. It doesn't matter to them that ranchers are murdered, that hospitals are shut down, that schools are overrun.

All they care about is the politics of the situation. They want hispanic votes for their party. It's identity politics. They assume that hispanics will all vote together. And for the sake of political power, they REFUSE to enforce immigration law.

Last night, I caught a few minutes of Frank Luntz interviewing some Arizonans, and one piped up with the usual 'go after the employers' argument. But that's only half the equation. Too many people don't see that our federal government's REFUSAL to enforce our laws and secure our borders is the moral equivalent of employers hiring illegal workers. BOTH entice these people to cross our borders. BOTH should be held accountable for it.
