from the 'crack down' trend.
They are also getting the Border Patrol head that Arizona kicked out for not communicating to allow enforcement more, and I wonder if that is calculated. Does anyone from Texas know what is going on there? Did it pass?

One version of the sanctuary law first calendared for the end of July was pulled to be reworded, but it is coming back. http://www.co.el-paso.tx.us/commcourt/meetings/2006-07-31/agenda.htm
Considering they had a 70 % drop in crime during a recent border security crack down, how do they consider that in the best interest of their citizens?

angela, thanks for the information. It goes beyond just not asking those who report or are victims of crime about status, though. That I can see a reason for. It would protect those who are arrested, also.

not being able to 'single someone out for legal scrutiny' for their 'immigration status' means not being able to enforce or aid feds to enforce the law regarding illegal immigration.

but angela, granted those there are the right sort, what about all of those that pass through? Don't you bear responsibility for what they do elsewhere if you consciously look the other way?

A couple million illegals are anxiously awaiting the outcome, to see if they can flood El Paso prolly. Get ready El Paso residents for the new tax increases to pay for them.

They will be voting on it today at 10:00 am.....I am in el paso, i believe crime victims should not be asked status, otherwise they will be afraid to report it.....its basically a human rights issue...
"The resolution continues by stating that immigration status should not be asked of crime victims, witnesses or others who call for help."
We have an excellent border patrol here, they do a wonderful job patroling the border, we had a crack down about 15 years ago and it really cleaned up the city....There is also a huge catholic community here, that helps illegals...
Dar, we tend to buck the norm here in El Paso....Somehow illegals come and yet the city is a safe place to live.....I think that mainly the illegals that come here, only come for work and then go back home to Juarez....They don't actually live here....I also know that other types of illegals coming from the interior of Mexico, cross through here, only to seek residence in other parts of US.....I don't think we have a large illegal population living here....Just my opinion anyways....The city seems to protects illegals, because most just come for work and then go back home to Mexico.....
