Is Phoenix the kidnap capitol of the world because of illegal immigration?

greasytony

No. Those are just talking points that are being used to spread fear into people. Notice how they always mash up "kidnappings & Car Jackings" when talking about illegal immigration, but never give any sources or stats on that?

Eric

No, don't fall for that right-winged baloney.

Mr. 2Cents

You won't find that information because it's not true. Like others said, they are just talking points, but the old people in Arizona are eating this stuff up, so sad!

sk8rchick

NO don't fall for that BS.

TurkeyFood

no, but some people want you to think. Those same people deny that any of the following happend (fyi - no hispanics involved in these kidnappings):

I've poked around a lot and found NOTHING! so my guess is that they are just bogus claims.

According to the Phoenix Police 100% of kidnappings over a 1 year span was 100% related to illegal immigration!
Of course you also have a different officer stating:
More frustrating is that the numbers represent only a third, maybe less, of the city's kidnappings, said Sgt. Tommy Thompson, a police spokesman with 16 years of drug enforcement experience. Most kidnappings aren't reported, he said, because the victims are generally smugglers, drug dealers or illegal immigrants -- or some combination of the three.

It's considered good business to get paid to smuggle someone across the border and then hold them for ransom! It doubles, triples, or whatever the profits! Don't pay and they will send you back some body parts! Such fun loving people the coyotes, drug smugglers and illegal aliens!

Simone

Most kidnappings are due to drug cartels, and yet Mexicans would claim that not one Mexicans was involved in any Phoenix kidnappings (like anyone is gonna believe those lies LOL)

I guess believe what ever you want.

Don

Scare Tactics is what it's all about. Nobody that says yes, can supply a link that gives any details on that because it's bogus.

Nacho

daytripper

Yes

GirlyGurl

The lack of resources from people that say yes, should give you the truth.
