To do otherwise is disingenuous. Todays world is FAR different that what it was 34 years ago.I disagree that the Hanigan case reminds us that immigrant mexicans are more likely to be the victims of crimes rather the the perpetrators. The majority of AZ citizens, and especially border citizens are not vigilantes. They are trying to protect their lives and their property from an influx of illegals. The illegals crossing the border are just that, illegal. They are perpetrating a crime. Many of them, but not all, are carrying that crime to the nth degree. They are bringing drugs across, destroying lives and property. They are trafficking in humans, holding hostages for ransom. And before you say that the mexicans that are being held against their will for payment are indeed victims, stop and think. How did they get there? They put themselves in that position by trying to get across the border illegally. They made themselves the victims. It was their choice.   Footnote:The use of 'migrant' in the article denotes the time frame. Migration was an accepted and widely practiced thing in the 70's and many years prior and post to. The migrants came here to work and returned home. It is safe to say that the word 'migrant' is not applicable in todays world. Immigrant would be the more acceptable term.</blockquote>
