It's Not Just About Money

 

How long do we continue to ignore the damage to America; in murders, maimings, kidnappings, car jackings, gang activities, drugs, environmental destruction and identity theft? It costs $2.7 billion annually in Arizona just to educate, medicate and incarcerate illegal aliens. And what about the 30 million Americans out of work?  Yet we still allow employers to hire "undocumented" workers.

 

Here is the true cost of illegal immigration; the death and maiming of police officers and citizens in Arizona by illegal aliens:

 

1. Rob Krentz a rancher on the Arizona border (murdered)

 

2. Phoenix Officer Shane Figueroa (killed)

 

3. Phoenix Officer Nick Erfle (Murdered)

 

4. Phoenix Office Glidewell (shot in chest)

 

5. Phoenix Officer Marc Atkinson (murdered)

 

6. Phoenix Police Officer Ignacio Conchos and his partner, Officer John Davis  (murdered)

 

7. Phoenix Police Officer Ken Collins (murdered)

 

8. Officers Jim Kliewer and Officer Jerry Kilgore (gunned down)

 

9. Police Officer Brian Wilbur (seriously injured)

 

10. Officers Jim Kliewer and Officer Jerry Kilgore (gunned down)

 

11. Phoenix Police Officer Brian Wilbur (seriously injured)

 

12. Phoenix Police Officer Jason Schecterle (severely burned)

14. Child serial rapist in Chandler

 

15. 15 year old raped in Scottsdale by school janitor

 

16. 15 year old kidnapped and raped in Guadalupe

 

17. Kris Eggle-park ranger in southern Arizona (murdered)

 

18. Border Patrol Agent James Epling (murdered)

 

19. Deputy Sean Pearce (shot by homicide suspects)

 

20. Deputy Lew Argetsinger (shot by homicide suspects)

 

21. Sgt. Manuel H. Tapia (shot by a drug suspect)

 

22. DPS Officer Robert K. Martin, 57,  (shot to death - his assailant, Ernesto Salgado Martinez, a 19-year-old ex-convict)

 

23. Agent Richard Fass, 37, of the United States Drug Enforcement Agency (murdered)

 

24. Agent Alexander Kirpnick, 27, Border Patrol (murdered)

 

25. Gilbert mother killed by illegal alien fleeing from police in Mesa

 

26. Jason, decorated Iraq war veteran stabbed in his own front yard by illegal alien

 

27. Mother "legal immigrant" killed by illegal alien trying to ram Sheriff's Deputy's car in Phoenix

The burden of blind-eye police department policies forced upon them by local politicians, police chiefs and open-border philosophies, were paid for with the lives of not only dedicated police officers throughout Arizona, but also its citizens.
