Tucson to Douglas Arizona?
Question:
How do I get to and from Tucson airport to Douglas without a car.

Answer:
Looking to smuggle drugs, or something? That is a fishy question. Call the airport in advance - they have van shuttles and buses that go from the airport to Mexico and border towns (and back), so you could probably find one when you arrive at the airport.

What is your reaction to Undocumented couple leave SB 1070 behind?
Question:
A white Ford pickup with Arizona plates is driving north on U.S. 191 headed for the Utah border. Afraid of encountering police, the family inside is traveling at night. The pickup's headlights cut through a sea of darkness. The family is in a hurry to get out of Arizona, to get away from the state's harsh new immigration law. The pickup crosses into Utah at 11:59 p.m. Luis Sanchez breathes a sigh of relief as his wife, Marlen Ramirez, keeps driving. Both are undocumented immigrants from Mexico. "Look," he says. "We are here. We have arrived in Utah." They have made it safely out of Arizona, past the Maricopa County sheriff's deputy they saw as they were leaving Surprise and past the highway patrol cars they saw along Interstate 17 between Phoenix and Flagstaff. They still have a long way to their final destination: Pennsylvania. There will be engine troubles along the way. And more police. And frayed nerves. But the hardest part of the nearly 2,700-mile journey will be the end. Their final destination is where starting their lives over begins. Feeling like prisoners Luis and Marlen, both 33, lived in Arizona for more than 15 years. They are from the same small town, Xaltianguis, in southern Mexico, but they met while living at the same West Valley apartment complex. Luis was 17 when he crossed the border illegally near Douglas. Marlen was 16 when she jumped a fence near Nogales. Both came looking for work. Their three children are U.S. citizens because they were born in Arizona. The oldest, Luis Jr., is a quiet 13-year-old. Vanessa, 10, wears glasses and loves to talk. The baby, Christian, is 2. Lawyers have told Luis and Marlen that they do not qualify for legal residency. Luis has washed dishes at a restaurant on Grand Avenue, at a retirement home in Peoria and at a restaurant in Sun City West. For the past four years, he worked as a landscaper for a company that maintains office buildings in the West Valley. He earned $9.80 an hour. Marlen is a stay-at-home mom. Luis got his jobs using fake papers. He has managed to keep working despite the recession and Arizona's employer-sanctions law, which have made it much harder for illegal immigrants to get jobs. The couple started thinking about leaving Arizona when Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio began conducting his crime sweeps two years ago, saturating largely Latino neighborhoods with deputies, stopping vehicles for minor traffic violations and arresting illegal immigrants. The couple said the sweeps made them feel like prisoners. They used to enjoy spending Sundays at the park. But to avoid the police, they started staying home as much as possible. The day after Gov. Jan Brewer signed Arizona's new immigration law on April 23, Luis and Marlen decided to leave. They are not alone. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of families have fled Arizona, abandoning homes and apartments in already struggling neighborhoods. Many more are planning to leave. Some have returned to Mexico. Many are relocating to neighboring states, many of which may soon try to adopt laws similar to Arizona's. Luis and Marlen picked Pennsylvania. They have relatives there who say there is plenty of work.

Answer:
Great...two more law breakers coming to my state,with their anchors in tow so my tax dollars can pay for their education. Hopefully PA passes a similar bill in the future. They aren't going to go home,they are just going to relocate to another state so they can continue with the perks. There is not plenty of work in PA. Guess they'll be applying for welfare for their kids as well as food stamps and government housing.

Drug running grandma's drug bust discriminatory due to her being a US citizen and legal resident?
Question:
I guess she has a point. What do you think? http://www.douglasdispatch.com/articles/2007/01/13/news /news9.txt "BISBEE - The attorney for a Douglas grandmother who was found guilty of running drugs wants a judge to overturn the conviction on the grounds that prosecutors discriminated against her for being a U.S. citizen and a resident of Cochise County. Leticia Villareal Garcia was arrested in early 2005 after Arizona Department of Public Safety officers, acting on a tip from an informant, found 214 pounds of marijuana in a car she was driving to Tucson for a bingo outing. A Superior Court jury convicted the 61-year-old grandmother in November of transporting marijuana for sale, a Class 2 felony punishable by up to 12 1/2 years in prison." Deputy County Attorney David Pardee was quoted in the story as saying that federal authorities often refer under-500-pound cases to his office, and that they generally involve Mexican nationals or other non-locals ferrying drugs through the county to cities such as Tucson and Phoenix. The county attorney declines these cases, Pardee said, unless they involve local police agencies or residents." Is it discriminatory?

Answer:
You're kidding. lmao. You ARE kidding, right? But hey, that's not a bad idea for a defense. Why couldn't she get deported to mexico. Then she could sneak back in to the US like all the illegals do. That way she would come back free and clear. Not a bad idea at all.

Isn't this just another thing AMERICANS wouldn't do?? Some "family values"!!?
Question:
Most Popular Change Type Size Targeting child smuggling at entry ports may backfire Kids face greater danger, critics warn Daniel González The Arizona Republic Mar. 26, 2007 12:00 AM A church acquaintance approached Brenda Aguirre with a proposition early last year. Would Aguirre, a U.S. citizen, be willing to bring two Mexican children into the United States illegally? All she had to do was pick them up in Agua Prieta, Sonora, pretend they were her children and drive them back across the border and up to Phoenix. For her trouble, Aguirre, 25, would receive $500, plus the satisfaction of knowing the children would be reunited with their undocumented parents without a potentially deadly trek through the desert. But things didn't go as planned. An entry port official in Douglas became suspicious when Aguirre presented Arizona birth certificates for her own kids, not the two Mexican children. Now, Aguirre is going to prison for 15 months. The children were sent back to Mexico. advertisement The case shows the extremes to which parents living illegally in the U.S. will go to bring their children into the country, often putting their kids into the hands of strangers. It also shows the severe consequences for people lured into smuggling children. The heavy punishments are part of a new zero-tolerance government policy to combat a rise in child smuggling along the Arizona border. The policy is keeping children out of harm's way, government officials say. But critics say the policy is having the opposite effect, driving desperate parents to take greater risks. Until a few years ago, cases like Aguirre's were rarely, if ever, prosecuted. People trying to smuggle children through ports of entry were simply released and the children returned to Mexico. Prosecutors in Arizona got tough after noticing that child smuggling was increasing and getting more dangerous, said Serra Tsethlikai, a federal prosecutor who oversees child-smuggling cases in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Tucson. "We've made it a priority," Tsethlikai said. Since 2003, when the new policy was instituted, federal attorneys in Arizona have prosecuted more than 140 child-smuggling cases and sought mandatory prison sentences. They also have pushed to strip smugglers with green cards of their legal status and deport them. Prosecutors hope the crackdown will send a message. "Most of the women who do this are very sympathetic, but the crime is very serious," Tsethlikai said. Illegal passage Here's how the plan works: A relative of the children or a member of a smuggling organization will pay a U.S. citizen or a legal permanent resident anywhere from $100 to $800 to bring a child into the country, usually by falsely claiming to be the child's parent at a port of entry. The person bringing the child across typically is a Hispanic woman. "Usually you want to look the part," Tsethlikai said. To bring the children across, the woman will use the birth certificates or other documents of her own children, or bogus documents, then attempt to walk or drive through a port of entry. But the smugglers don't always try to bring the children across the border in plain sight, using such documentation. Children also have been found hidden inside piñatas and concealed behind car panels. Once across, the children often are handed over to strangers at parks, stores, gas stations and shopping malls. The children span all ages. "We've seen babies as little as 1 or 2 years old," Tsethlikai said. "Often, (the children) have been drugged so they are sleepy. We can't wake them up. Later, the (smugglers) will admit they gave them Benadryl," an over-the-counter antihistamine and sedative. At first, most of the women hired to bring children across came from border towns. But lately, officials have seen more women from Phoenix driving to Mexico to bring children across. That suggests organized smuggling rings have become involved, although prosecutors have not been able to link any of the women caught bringing children into the country illegally with larger networks, Tsethlikai said. Increased risk Aguirre knew she was breaking the law when she agreed to bring the two Mexican children, ages 3 and 5, into the U.S. illegally, her Tucson lawyer, Rubin Salter Jr., said. But she didn't know how severe the punishment could be. "She did not know it was mandatory prison time," Salter said. He said Aguirre's main motivation was not money. "She wanted to help them. She could not imagine these children walking through the desert for several hours," he said. Tighter border security has fueled an increase in child smuggling, experts say. In the past, people who crossed the border illegally worked for a few months in the U.S., then returned home. Now, to avoid the risks of crossing illegally, many undocumented immigrants are settling in the U.S. and bringing their families here, said Eveyln Cruz, director of the immigration law clinic at Arizona State University. "Some of these kids are trying to reunite with a parent or a relative in the U.S.," Cruz said. "Others are kids (who), because of extreme poverty or gangs in their country, are trying to get to the U.S. so they can help provide for their families back home." Most parents don't want to send their children through the desert, so they try hiring someone to bring them through a port of entry, Cruz said. Last year, at least 167 people died crossing the border illegally in Arizona, according to the Border Patrol. Under the government's new crackdown, however, smugglers caught bringing children through official ports of entry are treated more harshly than smugglers who bring children through the desert, said Eric Marsteller, a Tucson lawyer who has defended several women accused of child smuggling. That could push parents to take greater risks, he said. "The risk is, with greater focus on the ports of entry, there could be the effect of more children crossing through the desert," Marsteller said. These ILLEGALS are risking the lives of their kids, by entrusting them to STRANGERS, and by the deadly risks they put them through to have them SMUGGLED into this country! Yeah, some "family values" allright!!

Answer:
I guess "better family values" includes human trafficking their own children. 60% of Mexican illegals had jobs before entering the US, so I don´t believe the hype that they were starving to death before making the decision to go to the US. I live in central Mexico and everyone I know who entered the US illegally had GOOD PAYING JOBS in MEXICO. There was no need for them to go in the first place. None of them were unemployed. You can get a job making enough money to support yourself if you have a high school education or better in Mexico, and no it´s not hard. They charge for high school but it´s not always that expensive depending on where you go and government-run universities are FREE. There´s NO EXCUSE. The problem in Mexico is that many people don´t put a high value on education. If your parents only had a primary school education and you dropped out of middle school, they´re going to see you as better off than they are and equipped to go out into the modern world, not realizing that their logic is flawed. Before I got a job here in Mexico my husband (who has only a high school education) and I were living off his salary alone, which was only the equivalent of 500 dollars a month and we were just fine.

Is THIS the kind of people we want coming into our country???Drug users are helping to destroy this country!!?
Question:
NEWS online print edition Print Article Email Article Most Popular Change Type Size Another chief of police slain along border Chris Hawley and Yvonne Wingett The Arizona Republic Feb. 28, 2007 12:00 AM MEXICO CITY - As drug wars raged along other parts of the U.S.-Mexican border, things had remained mostly quiet in the Sonoran town of Agua Prieta. Not anymore. On Monday, assassins gunned down Police Chief Ramón Tacho Verdugo, spraying more than 40 bullets at him in an ambush outside police headquarters in this town near Douglas. The motive is murky, but it almost certainly involved control of the smuggling routes into Arizona, Mexican and U.S. officials said Tuesday. advertisement "Rival organizations are vying for control of these lucrative corridors," said Ramona Sanchez, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. "(Tacho's murder) is a reminder of how violent these criminal organizations are, and they will continue to use whatever means they need." Tacho's death followed a number of drug-related killings in Agua Prieta and the Dec. 9 arrest of Carlos "Calichi" Molinares from nearby Naco on drug-smuggling charges in Tucson. State and city police were on high alert and patrolling Agua Prieta for fear of further violence, said José Larrinaga, a spokesman for the Sonora attorney general. Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano was "very concerned" about the attack and asked federal and state law enforcement officials to meet with border sheriffs to exchange information about border violence, said Dennis Burke, her chief of staff. With Tacho's death, Agua Prieta joins a growing list of Mexican cities where hit men have gunned down police chiefs. At least 12 have died in the past year, including top lawmen in the border cities of Tijuana and Nuevo Laredo. The killings have many police thinking twice about taking the top post. The Sonoran town of Naco, for example, has had 12 police chiefs in the past three years. The last one to resign was Tacho's brother, Roberto Tacho Verdugo. An Old-West lawman With his cowboy hats and Western shirts, big belt buckles and wide mustache, Ramón Tacho looked the part of the Wild West sheriff. He had a talent for music and had even recorded an album of traditional Mexican music and corridos, romantic cowboy-style ballads. That style helped make him one of Agua Prieta's most high-profile officials, said Ray Borane, mayor of Douglas, which lies just across the border. Tacho was head of Sonora's state detective force before becoming police chief in Naco, then in Cananea. He took over Agua Prieta's police force in September. Borane said Tacho was a good lawman and had made some important arrests. But his flamboyant manner also fed rumors of ties to drug traffickers. "Because of things people said about him - his way of dressing, acting and the way they executed him - it was said he was 'compromised,' " said Luis Arvayo, a reporter for El Imparcial newspaper who covers crime in Agua Prieta. The attack On Monday, Tacho was walking to his car with a group of aides at about 5 p.m. when a Jeep Grand Cherokee and a Jeep Liberty roared up to police headquarters. Gunmen inside opened fire with AR-15 assault rifles, firing more than 40 bullets at the police chief, said Larrinaga of the Sonora Attorney General's Office. Tacho was hit in the chest, stomach and leg. Another bullet grazed a paramedic at the nearby Red Cross headquarters. Police returned fire, and the two vehicles sped off. The Grand Cherokee was found abandoned a few streets away. Tacho underwent emergency surgery at Agua Prieta's Latino Hospital but died about 90 minutes after the attack, Larrinaga said. Drug wars come home It was the most brazen assassination in Agua Prieta since gunmen killed the regional commander of the Federal Preventive Police in July 2003. The Arizona border had been mostly quiet since then, even as pitched battles raged between drug lords in Nuevo Laredo, Tijuana and other border points. Police commanders are frequent targets in those places. In June, gunmen killed Nuevo Laredo's police chief less than seven hours after he took the job. In November, an assistant police chief in Tijuana was found shot and dismembered near police headquarters. The Arizona border is controlled by the Sinaloa cartel of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. That cartel has struck an alliance with the neighboring Juarez cartel, leading to relative peace along Arizona's southeastern border. But on Jan. 19, Tacho's officers arrested a Sinaloa man on charges of carrying out the execution-style slaying of two men in an Agua Prieta backyard on Jan. 3. And on Thursday, two drug-smuggling suspects were found dead, their faces slashed with a knife or razor. Larrinaga said it was still too early to tell if Tacho's death was part of a broader drug war in the area. He said that murders statewide have declined in the past year. "We can't consider this a red flag yet," Larrinaga said.

Answer:
Political policies and regime changes are often at the heart of rising drug stocks. I can't comment on the scene in the USA but in the UK, heroin flooded into the country after the Shah of Iran was deposed and the Islamic Fundamentalists took over the country. However, if the majority white population of the UK and the rest of Europe didn't want the drug then they would have had to find other ways of disposing of it or stop cultivating the poppy altogether. Demand always leads to someone supplying and if the poppy could be cultivated in the UK, they would supply themselves. Same could be true if the USA could cultivate the Coca Bush in any quantity and in secrecy. Other nationalities only export the drugs because they can cultivate it! The Middle East have most of the oil and the same applies although legally.

Question:
Your opinion Man bound & robbed by pair of illegals resident offers kindness to illegals gets violence in return, what excuse will activists have for these illegals ?SIERRA VISTA — SIERRA VISTA — Two illegal immigrants have been arrested after authorities said they subdued a man in his home with duct tape and stole his car. Brothers Gilberto Quiroz-Moreno, 27, and Fernando Quiroz-Moreno, 35, have been charged with armed robbery, aggravated assault, kidnapping, motor vehicle theft and two counts of burglary. The incident occurred in the unincorporated community of Cochise, southwest of Willcox, according to Carol Capas, spokeswoman for the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office. The 71-year-old male victim told deputies that on Thursday night, the two men came to his home looking for food and water. The man gave them food and allowed them to make a number of calls to Mexico and Douglas in order to find a ride, Capas said. The resident told the Quiroz-Moreno brothers that they could stay outside of his home that night, which they did, she said. On Friday morning, one of the brothers asked the resident to heat up some food that he had obtained from a neighbor. Closing the door behind him, the resident went into his kitchen to prepare the food when the two men entered his home without consent and approached him. According to Capas, once they were inside the kitchen, the men grabbed the resident from behind and held a knife to his throat and threatened him. They then secured his hands, feet and mouth with duct tape and placed him on his bed. The resident reported that the two men then took a handgun and cash from his home, and his 1965 Volvo, before leaving the area, she said. The resident struggled to remove the tape from his mouth by licking the inside of the tape until it became loosened. Eventually, at about noon on Friday, he was able to access a telephone on a side table and dial 911 using his tongue, Capas said. When sheriff’s deputies located the man, he was still restrained by the duct tape. The sheriff’s office notified all other law enforcement agencies within Cochise and Pima Counties in Arizona and Hidalgo County in New Mexico of the incident. About an hour after the resident contacted authorities, Arizona Department of Public Safety reported that they had located the vehicle. The two men were taken into custody. Both Gilberto and Fernando Quiroz-Moreno were booked into the Cochise County Jail and are being held without bond.http://www.svherald.com/content/news/2010/03/02/man-bound-an d-robbed-pair-illegals

What happens when a country refuses to protect it’s own citizens?
Question:
Illegal Immigration: An Arizona rancher is murdered while patrolling his ranch. A gaping hole in the border fence and footsteps back to Mexico tell the tale. When will we put the National Guard back on the border? Robert N. Krentz Jr., 58, scion of one of the best-known and oldest ranching families in southeast Arizona, was found shot to death March 27 on his vast, remote ranch after radioing to his brother that he was checking out someone he believed to be an illegal immigrant. Krentz was found slumped over his ATV on his 35,000-acre ranch about 35 miles northeast of Douglas. He was out checking water lines and fencing on the land Krentz's family has ranched since 1907. His dog lay nearby critically wounded, also hit by a bullet. The Cochise County authorities believe Krentz was killed by an illegal immigrant who fled to Mexico. Foot tracks were identified and followed approximately 20 miles south to the Mexico border by county, state and federal authorities. A satellite photo from U.S. Customs and Border Protection shows a big gap in the border fence near Krentz's ranch. We recently editorialized on the need for a secure border fence and complained about the dithering by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano over delays caused by reliance on gadgets and gizmos in a failed "virtual fence" of cameras and sensors but no boots on the ground. We've also commented on the escalating and violent drug war in Mexico, violence that will spill over our border. Last month saw the broad-daylight massacre in Juarez of a pregnant American U.S. consular employee and her husband, leaving their year-old baby wailing in the back of their car. The drug cartels are serious, and we should be as well. http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnalysis/Article.aspx?id =529591

Answer:
It`s a shame and pity that our FBI know how to go harass citizens militias-as they recently done in Indiana & Michigan - on unclear, unsubstantiated and unwarranted reasons, but FBI does not know how to go & help with bigger U.S. threat-the illegals. These citizens` militias would probably defend Americans sooner than federal government would against illegals, should they become openly violent against U.S. citizens.

Question:
Book and blurbs of both :) Louis Theroux - The Call Of The Weird For over 10 years Louis Theroux Has been making programs about offbeat characters on the fringes of US society. Now he returns to America and attempts to track down some of the people who have most fascinated him over the years, trying to discover what motivates them, why they believe the things they believe, and what has happened to the assorted dreamers, outlaws, and eccentrics since he last saw them. On a journey that takes him to the porn sets of Los Angeles, among the UFO contactees of Arizona, and up to far Northern Idaho for a festive get together of leading neo-Nazis, he asks what 'weird people' have to tell us about their own secret natures. Has he learned anything about himself by being among them? Do we choose our beliefs or do our beliefs choose us? Louis Theroux's first book is hilarious, thought provoking and at times surreal voyage into the heart of weirdness. Louise Douglas - The Love Of My Life 'I miss him with every breath and heartbeat. He should have been my happy ending. Instead, he is the sad beginning to my story.' Olivia and Luca Felicone had known each other nearly all their lives, but when they fell in love as teenagers and eloped to London they broke the hearts of those closest to them. Luca's parents run Marinella's restaurant, the colourful hub of life in the otherwise bleak north-eastern seaside town of Watersford, and his mother, Angela, has never forgiven Olivia for causing such a rift in her beloved family.On a freezing January night Olivia's life is shattered when she learns that Luca has been killed in a car accident. She is left with nothing and, after suffering from weeks of overwhelming grief, she abandons her job and returns north to where Luca has been buried in Watersford. Olivia's chance meeting with Luca's married twin brother, Marc, leads to the realization that he is experiencing a loss almost as painful as her own. Their desolation draws them into an affair which both know has no future, but fills the space where Luca should be. It is a course of action that can only spiral out of control, and when it does the consequences are both explosive and cruel. "The Love of My Life" is a beautiful novel that portrays both the innocence of childhood, and the dynamics of love and loss with deftness and sensitivity. It is, above all, a stunning debut from an author with a unique and natural narrative voice. Thanks :)

Answer:
i really cant decide for you, because it depends what type of books you like best, but i would go with "The love of My Life" it sounds amazing! and after hearing the summary, i think that i will read it too! here are some amazing comments from readers: 32 of 33 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars By Amy James "Amy" This review is from: The Love of My Life (Hardcover) This is a beautiful and very sad book about love and life. I've never read anything quite like it because on one level it's an easy to read page turner but its also very intense and moving. The characters are real people you really believe they exist adn the situations are so real. It could easily be an autobiography rather than a novel. The central love story is so powerful it stays with you. This is a classic story. Very highly recommended. 5.0 out of 5 stars 10 Feb 2008 By Love Books "Jessie" (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) This review is from: The Love of My Life (Hardcover) I read the first few chapters of this online and bought the book on the strength of that and couldn't put it down. Olivia returns to her hometown for the funeral of her beloved husband Luca and straight away you realise that something has gone badly wrong in the past because his family make it clear she is not welcome. To make things worse, Olivia and Luca's brother Marc begin an affair to help each other through the weeks after Luca's death - each reminds the other of Luca, and although you understand how this happened, you know it's bound to end in disaster. Over the course of the book, the story of Olivia and Luca's relationship is told, and the strength of their love is made clear, and it becomes painfully obvious why Luca's family will never allow her in to their inner circle. Events spiral, there's a cruel twist and Olivia is pushed so far that she finally accepts that she has to let go. The characters in this book all have their faults, and this makes them real. I empathised with Olivia who is engaging but far from perfect - the descriptions of her as a difficult teenager are brilliant. It's beautifully written but also very easy to read and the emotions are powerfully described. The ending gives some hope for the future although the last three chapters made me cry my eyes out. Like Olivia, I am now more than a little in love with Luca, I can't get him out of my mind. 5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, 3 April 2008 By Mrs. J. Hathaway "BOOK PRINCESS" (REAL NAME) This review is from: The Love of My Life (Hardcover) This is without doubt one of the most believable books i have ever read! It is Funny in places and moving in most, Was a complete obsession for me that i complete this book as fast as possible as i wanted to know what happens next for Olivia and the ending is not dissapointing as it finishes how you feel it should, but wont ruin it for you by saying anymore, just make sure you read this superbly written book.

The heavy punishments are part of a new zero-tolerance government policy to combat a rise in child smuggling along the Arizona border. The policy is keeping children out of harm's way, government officials say. But critics say the policy is having the opposite effect, driving desperate parents to take greater risks. Until a few years ago, cases like Aguirre's were rarely, if ever, prosecuted. People trying to smuggle children through ports of entry were simply released and the children returned to Mexico. Prosecutors in Arizona got tough after noticing that child smuggling was increasing and getting more dangerous, said Serra Tsethlikai, a federal prosecutor who oversees child-smuggling cases in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Tucson. "We've made it a priority," Tsethlikai said. Since 2003, when the new policy was instituted, federal attorneys in Arizona have prosecuted more than 140 child-smuggling cases and sought mandatory prison sentences. They also have pushed to strip smugglers with green cards of their legal status and deport them. Prosecutors hope the crackdown will send a message. "Most of the women who do this are very sympathetic, but the crime is very serious," Tsethlikai said. Illegal passage Here's how the plan works: A relative of the children or a member of a smuggling organization will pay a U.S. citizen or a legal permanent resident anywhere from $100 to $800 to bring a child into the country, usually by falsely claiming to be the child's parent at a port of entry. The person bringing the child across typically is a Hispanic woman. "Usually you want to look the part," Tsethlikai said. To bring the children across, the woman will use the birth certificates or other documents of her own children, or bogus documents, then attempt to walk or drive through a port of entry. But the smugglers don't always try to bring the children across the border in plain sight, using such documentation. Children also have been found hidden inside piñatas and concealed behind car panels. Once across, the children often are handed over to strangers at parks, stores, gas stations and shopping malls. The children span all ages. "We've seen babies as little as 1 or 2 years old," Tsethlikai said. "Often, (the children) have been drugged so they are sleepy. We can't wake them up. Later, the (smugglers) will admit they gave them Benadryl," an over-the-counter antihistamine and sedative. At first, most of the women hired to bring children across came from border towns. But lately, officials have seen more women from Phoenix driving to Mexico to bring children across. That suggests organized smuggling rings have become involved, although prosecutors have not been able to link any of the women caught bringing children into the country illegally with larger networks, Tsethlikai said. Increased risk Aguirre knew she was breaking the law when she agreed to bring the two Mexican children, ages 3 and 5, into the U.S. illegally, her Tucson lawyer, Rubin Salter Jr., said. But she didn't know how severe the punishment could be. "She did not know it was mandatory prison time," Salter said. He said Aguirre's main motivation was not money. "She wanted to help them. She could not imagine these children walking through the desert for several hours," he said. Tighter border security has fueled an increase in child smuggling, experts say. In the past, people who crossed the border illegally worked for a few months in the U.S., then returned home. Now, to avoid the risks of crossing illegally, many undocumented immigrants are settling in the U.S. and bringing their families here, said Eveyln Cruz, director of the immigration law clinic at Arizona State University. "Some of these kids are trying to reunite with a parent or a relative in the U.S.," Cruz said. "Others are kids (who), because of extreme poverty or gangs in their country, are trying to get to the U.S. so they can help provide for their families back home." Most parents don't want to send their children through the desert, so they try hiring someone to bring them through a port of entry, Cruz said. Last year, at least 167 people died crossing the border illegally in Arizona, according to the Border Patrol. Under the government's new crackdown, however, smugglers caught bringing children through official ports of entry are treated more harshly than smugglers who bring children through the desert, said Eric Marsteller, a Tucson lawyer who has defended several women accused of child smuggling. That could push parents to take greater risks, he said. "The risk is, with greater focus on the ports of entry, there could be the effect of more children crossing through the desert," Marsteller said.

Answer:
Having a united family is a family value, not exposing children to risky desert crossing can be seen as a family value. American families have done it before, and perchance they will do it again. Remember the Underground Railroad of the slavery days? Remember the many people that have helped refugees escape from one regime to another?
