And how did I hurt any child? How did the U.S. hurt the child? I would think the responsibility goes to Mexico. And we aren't talking about children but people like to use them as a weapon a lot. But since you brought it up, smugglers and kidnappers, here illegally, hurt children.
In what officials caution is now a dangerous and even deadly crime wave, Phoenix, Arizona has become the kidnapping capital of America, with more incidents than any other city in the world outside of Mexico City and over 370 cases last year alone. But local authorities say Washington, DC is too obsessed with al Qaeda terrorists to care about what is happening in their own backyard right now.
Wave of abductions hit Phoenix. Is Washington paying enough attention?
"We're in the eye of the storm," Phoenix Police Chief Andy Anderson told ABC News of the violent crimes and ruthless tactics spurred by Mexico's drug cartels that have expanded business across the border. "If it doesn't stop here, if we're not able to fix it here and get it turned around, it will go across the nation," he said.
California Attorney General Jerry Brown warned that as the U.S. government focuses so intently on Islamic extremist groups, other types of terrorists – those involved with the same kidnappings, extortion and drug cartels that are sweeping Phoenix – are overlooked.
"Those [criminals], for the average Californian or the average America, may be a more immediate threat to their well being," Brown said.
In fact, kidnappings and other crimes connected to the Mexican drug cartels are quickly spreading across the border, from Texas to California. The majority of the victims are either illegal aliens or connected to the drug trade.
An ABC News' investigation uncovered horrific cases of chopped-off hands, legs and heads when a victim's family doesn't pay up fast enough.
"They're ruthless, so now they're ripping each other off, but doing it in our city," Anderson said.
To try and combat the crime wave, the Phoenix police have created a special unit to handle the kidnappings called the Home Invasion Task Force, which has pulled more than a dozen officers off other assignments. The crimes are occurring across the valley and in all types of neighborhoods, authorities warn.
Illegals getting victimized by illegals on our soil. Oh boy what fun! Too much of this happens. Let the ones who want to work get work permits.......legally. That is why YOU say they are here. To work. So what is the problem with being legal????. I welcome legal. I don't welcome this other trash and we need to know who is coming and who isn't for our safety. My family, American families are more important. Fix the border and then we can help. Right now I am concerned for us. As it should be.
