PHOENIX “SANCTUARY CITY” AND Mexican crime wave!
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION: Phoenix is a 'Sanctuary City'. Think Illegal Immigration effects only those communities near our Southern borders? Do you think that Illegal Immigration does not effect you because you don’t deal with it on a daily basis? Do you think that Illegal Immigration is strictly a "Federal Issue" as some in State and Local leadership dictate? Illegal Immigration is very much a State and City Issue that effects all of our citizens in a multitude of ways.
Of the 5.7 Million people that live in Arizona, an estimated 500,000 are Illegal Aliens. That means that 1 in 10 are here illegally.
Much of the violent crime in Phoenix area involves Illegal Aliens
Illegal Immigration costs AZ Taxpayers about $1.3 BILLION per year in education, healthcare and incarceration costs.
Phx has the highest auto theft rate in the nation according to police and auto insurance agencies. "Of the aliens caught sneaking across the border in the Tucson Sector during the 2005 fiscal year, 31,000 had US Criminal records US Border Patrol figures show. The immigration trade is now dominated by professional smugglers who move humans and drugs North using stolen vehicles by organized gangs. (Business Week Online 10-10-05)
AZ consistently has one of the nations highest rates of fatal hit and run crashes. Some statistical evidence suggests the states large number of Illegal Aliens is one reason ("The Hit-Kill-And-Run State: AZ nears grim title" by Mitch Tobin and Tim Ellis, AZ Daily Star, Tucson AZ 12-18-2005)
Phoenix Operations Order 1.4: Prevents PPD Officers from contacting Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) when they encounter an Illegal Alien during the course of a crime. This must be retracted to meet the needs of our citizens, and to meet the needs of Federal Laws. This Op Order creates and allows Phoenix to remain a "Sanctuary City".
The biggest impact on Illegal Immigration can be made when local governments work together with State and Federal agencies. Under the 1996 Immigration Act, the Federal Government has empowered local law enforcement and governments to enforce immigration laws. I plan to enact that measure at the Council level in Phoenix by having Phoenix Police train with Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE). It is my intention that when PPD encounters Illegal Aliens during the course of a crime, the suspect be held not only to face our Criminal Justice System, serve restitution for that crime if convicted, then held until removed for deportation by ICE officials. Our communities can no longer afford to release back into society those that are not only criminals, but those that do not legally belong here in the first place. I stand to end the Sanctuary City Status at all costs in Phoenix. We shall no longer make it comfortable for an Illegal Alien to permeate our society without fear of deportation. Day Labor Sites: There are many corner locations across Phoenix where typically 100-150 Illegal Aliens gather each day to wait to be hired for work (illegally). They stand around in parking lots, trespass, urinate in public, cause traffic hazards by jumping at aproaching vehicles, harass passer-bys, vandalism and a host of other criminal activity. Often times drugs are found at these locations, and most of the time these individuals don’t have any identification. It is the duty and responsibility of the local government to enforce No-Solicitation Ordinances, and improve Quality of Life Issues in our neighborhoods. Our citizens and business owners not only deserve, but also should expect that these nuisance areas will be remedied. If we can prevent the sale of fruit from our street corners, if we can stop prostitution in high crime areas, we can put a stop to Day Labor gatherings right away. Many cities enforce No Loitering laws, and so can the City of Phoenix. And for those Day Laborers that can’t provide an ID upon the request of PPD, then they should be held until identified by ICE and determined if deportation is required. GROWTH MANAGEMENT:"I-17, Pack a lunch!"One of the most frustrating parts of driving through District 1 is just that: driving through it! Daytime commuters to and from work, often times sitting idle both ways on I-17. Plan to leave work a little early on Friday afternoon to pack the family up for the weekend camping trip to the Rim? You might want to try to leave on Thursdays anymore! Traffic congestion on I-17 has exploded with our population growth in the North Valley over the past several years. Population grow isn't anything new to Phoenix, but the questions are "What are we going to do about it and how fast?" Why are so many builders out pacing AZDOTS plans for what they refer to "future growth?"The Loop 101 to Carefree Highway expansion is scheduled to start construction sometime in late 2007. At least that within our view from now, but lets look farther North. Anthem will experience a growth in population by 28% in 2010-2020, tens of thousands of new families. New home construction in the Deer Valley and North Gateway areas are also experiencing incredible growth rates. Right now, any expansion being considered beyond the Carefree Highway is not scheduled by AZDOT until 2021-2025! Current traffic studies between Carefree Hwy and Pioneer Rd will grow from today’s 37000 care to over 59000 by

ACCORDING TO CNN, ABOUT 20% OF THE MONEY WIRED BACK TO MEXICO IS MEXICAN GANG DRUG CARTEL MONEY.
IS THIS WHY ANY ILLEGAL CAN ILLEGALLY OPEN BANK ACCOUNTS AT WELLS FARGO AND BANK OF AMERICA USING ONLY THEIR PHONY MEX CONSULATE ID COUPON?

Suit filed over wire transfers
Immigrants group says Ariz. official's crackdown on 'coyotes' also seized innocent people's money

An immigrant rights group is spearheading a class-action suit filed Wednesday against Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard, alleging that his office illegally seized millions of dollars in Western Union wires as part of its campaign to shut down money laundering by border smugglers.The U.S. District Court complaint, lodged in Phoenix by three Western Union customers, claims Goddard's bid to intercept so-called coyote fees violates the Fourth Amendment and due-process rights of thousands of innocent people whose funds were frozen. The plaintiffs "and others similarly situated" are sponsored by the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, or ICIRR, in coordination with Chicago-based Instituto del Progreso Latino. Josh Hoyt, executive director of the coalition, said Goddard has used "sweeping warrants" to seize more than $12 million in wire transactions based on a broad criminal profile, rather than any probable cause. "What this situation requires is targeted rifle-shot action to take out coyotes and drug smugglers," Hoyt said in a news release. "But Attorney General Goddard is practicing a legal drive-by shooting . . . hurting the guilty and the innocent alike."Goddard said there is no substance to the suit, and he believes it was prompted by Western Union because his assault on smuggling organizations has cut into company revenues. Western Union recently filed a separate action in Maricopa County Superior Court, obtaining a temporary order to stop the attorney general's seizures. Goddard said the company also sent letters to clients, asking those who had funds seized to contact Instituto del Progreso Latino."They solicited people" for the federal lawsuit, Goddard said. "It's Western Union trying to protect their profits."Sherry Johnson, corporate director of media relations for Western Union, said in an e-mail that "while we do have a long-standing relationship with this group, I can assure you that this is a completely independent action by the ICIRR." In an e-mail last week, she complained that Goddard's task force issued a "grossly unfair and inaccurate representation of Western Union and its customers." She also said the company is diligent in efforts to prevent illicit wire transfers. The federal action alleges that Western Union clients are not advised that they can challenge the seizures in court, where the state would have to prove illegal conduct. It also says numerous customers have been "interrogated, intimidated and threatened by Goddard's agents when attempting to find out about their money. Still others report making several attempts to recover their money and receiving no response."Goddard denied those allegations and touted the work of his Financial Crimes Task Force, which claims $1.7 billion in coyote fees has been funneled to Arizona smuggling organizations via Western Union in the past few years. Investigators accuse Western Union of inadequate reporting, an allegation the company denies. Coyotes charge about $1,600 per immigrant, holding them at drop houses in Phoenix until the fee is sent by wire. An estimated 15,000 transactions have been stopped since 2001, with investigators confiscating upward of $17 million. According to Goddard, not a single seizure was challenged in court. Hoyt and other representatives of the Illinois coalition met with Goddard earlier this month and asked him to halt the "blanket seizures" and create an independent panel to review all confiscations. Matt Piers, attorney for the plaintiffs, said more than 450 complaints have been received to date. He said undocumented immigrants often send money via Western Union for legitimate purposes but are too fearful to challenge seizures by law enforcement. "They are not going to be on the phone with a police officer," Piers said. The complaint says Arizona authorities are now snatching wire transfers of more than $500 "based on nothing more than having originated from one of 26 states." Piers said it is absurd to think that someone from Illinois or any other state would fly to Arizona and file a suit against the attorney general to collect $500 or $1,000. The class-action suit describes circumstances faced by three named plaintiffs:• Javier Torres, a legal resident of the United States, sent $1,000 to an Arizona friend in March to pay for a car he had purchased. When the friend did not receive the money, Torres called Western Union and was told that Arizona law enforcement agents would contact him. Investigators subsequently advised Torres that he could not recover the money unless he showed proof of ownership. Because Torres already had sold the vehicle, he could not provide the paperwork and lost the funds.• Lia Rivadeneyra, a Peruvian maid who has been in the country 30 years, sent $500 to her brother who was visiting friends in Sonora. The money was seized. Rivadeneyra was told by Arizona authorities she could not get her funds back unless they spoke with her brother, who had returned to his home in Peru where there was no phone.• Alma Santiago sent $2,000 to an Arizona cousin in March 2005. Western Union told Santiago that the money had been frozen. She was contacted by an investigator who said she could not recover the cash unless her cousin, who had no phone, spoke with authorities. Goddard said his investigators carefully target wires based on criminal profiling and are not taking funds sent innocently by illegal immigrants. He said he asked Piers to identify people whose money was confiscated wrongly but got no response.
