"...there is "no room" in Arizona for anyone who takes the law into their own hands." Hmmm. Sounds like the border must be already overcrowded with law enforcement doing their duty... Maybe if we imprison the citizens the aliens won't be so much of a problem.

One official, Assistant Police Chief Charles McClelland, even said Black's efforts could backfire and touch off a new gang skirmish – one between the residents and street thugs. Quite possibly... Tucson is really two communities, north and south Tucson.. The southern portion is predominantly Latino, with many residents having lived there for 10-20 years (and still not bothered to learn passable english)..
