“Their repeated characterization of illegal immigrants as criminals — easy to do since they broke immigration laws — makes it easy for people to ignore statistics,”

Right so they broke the law, and that makes it easy to characterize them as criminals. Well, no shit.

Crime figures, in fact, present a more mixed picture, with the likes of Russell Pearce, the Republican state senator behind the immigration enforcement law, playing up the darkest side while immigrant advocacy groups like Coalición de Derechos Humanos (Human Rights Coalition), based in Tucson, circulate news reports and studies showing that crime is not as bad as it may seem.

I always get a laugh when some Senator or governor named Jim or Steve wants more border security and the only people on the other side refuse to even translate the name of their organization into English. You think that might be why they can't get any support? That and maybe we know that they have to say their name in Spanish since that's the only language their customers or clients or whatever speak? Little things like that make a difference, people.
