Raises a point that hasn't been discussed enough in this year's immigration debate: that crime in border cities and cities with high immigrant populations is lower than it is elsewhere. Not only is the Arizona law discriminatory and unconstitutional, the author says, it is unnecessary. Concise, effective piece.

This is excellent journalism. It exposes the fallacies and political pandering surrounding the illegal immigration debate by citing statistics rather than opinions.

Contrarian look at the immigration issue, but outbound links would have been nice.

This article deals with the facts concerning safety in the border region. While there are numerous issues associated with illegal immigration, this article and many others assessing statistics demonstrate that safety really isn't one of them.

Time does a good job of attempting to debunk the bunk being pandered by the faux news outlets and the faux patriots who seem to be suffering the cranky delusion that they are the native Navajo, rather than being immigrants themselves.

It's a good op-ed piece but not a news story. A news story would have pointed out that law enforcement only reports crimes that are reported. Given the importance of a low crime rate to keep the retirees coming to that area it is likely reporting of crimes would be made as difficult as possible.
