AZ police group says feds must move on illegal immigration

The head of the Arizona Police Association says illegal immigration is a federal issue and the government is providing no direction on how to deal with it.

Dale Norris said a policy must be adopted soon or problems associated with illegal immigration will balloon.

Smugglers have become increasingly violent and do not care who they have to hurt or kill to get drugs and people across the border, Norris said.

“As we make the consequences of the smuggling act harsher on the people doing it, their resistance to being arrested is going to get higher and higher.”

Border Patrol agents are frustrated at the lack of federal leadership, said Norris.

“You can see the frustration that they’re facing. `Why am I out here risking my life to arrest people when you’re behind my back talking about, well, the ones that get past you, maybe we won’t do anything with them.’”
