Bill O'Reilly at Fox News has been peddling his immgrant crime wave bunk. There is no immigrant crime wave.

I've been pointing this out with statistics since 2007.

Crime is down in Arizona and even in border towns like El Paso.

I'm not sure who still listens to O'Reilly, but it's worth nipping this one in the bud.

    Are Arizona's crime rates usually... (none / 0) (#1)

    ... significantly higher than other states for some categories?  It's great that the levels there are improving, but if the 'crimes-per-100,000' numbers for certain classes of crimes are still higher in Arizona than in most other states, then it probably shouldn't come as a surprise that folks in AZ are getting testy and impatient about their various crime levels.
