If you want the fucking facts, you need to do research, not read a single fucking article with a slanted view. Your article mentions that "violent crime went down in Nogales, Arizona". But if you do thirty seconds of research you discover that what they really did was pull a fact that was true and backs up their point, while ignoring the truth - That car theft in Nogales is nearly three times the national average. Illegal aliens crossing the border at Nogales aren't doing so to commit murder and rape, but instead steal cars and rob houses and commit other small crimes, all of which are at least double the national US average in Nogales.

I'm tired of people coming on to a message board with a handful of facts from a single article that supports their point of view without doing any research. This is becoming more and more common. This happens a lot with the threads about politics and about the Middle East. People are sheep and believe what they want to believe in; They read a single article that supports what they believe and accept it as truth.
