- The following SHOULD have been the headline of the following
story -- but it wasn't -- ask yourself why? Could it be to raise sympathy
for the illegals?

- 76,245 ILLEGALS ARRESTED IN TUCSON SECTOR IN MARCH
-
- "In March, the Border Patrol arrested 76,245 illegal
immigrants in the Tucson sector, which covers all but 50 miles of the Arizona-Mexico
border. That puts the sector on pace to break an annual record of detaining
more than 470,000 illegal immigrants."
-
- THE FOLLOWING IS THE REASON THE ILLEGALS ARE IN ARIZONA
--- WHY HAVE PATROLS INCREASED IN CALIFORNIA AND TEXAS? DOES SOMEONE WANT
THE ILLEGALS ENTERING IN THE ARIZONA DESERT? IF SO, WHY?
-
- "Federal authorities have increased patrols in California
and Texas, forcing more border crossers to enter through Arizona. And stricter
enforcement of the border near Arizona's urban areas is in turn pushing
immigrants to try remote areas where they can find little water and must
often endure triple-digit heat. Most are ill-prepared to survive."

- Heat Deaths on Arizona-Mexico Border http://news.excite.com/news/ap/000606/09/desert-deaths
By Arthur H. Rotstein - Associated Press Writer 6-7-00

- TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Four days into what she was told
would be a six-hour trip, Yolanda Gonzalez lay dead of dehydration in the
Arizona desert - a victim of a searing sun, 110-degree heat and her determination
to save her daughter.
-
- The 19-year-old mother from Oaxaca, Mexico, had given
nearly all the water she carried to her 18-month-old daughter. Only a few
ounces remained in the toddler's bottle when Border Patrol searchers reached
them on Memorial Day.
-
- The youngster was rescued. Gonzalez became the sixth
illegal immigrant to die of heat-related exposure in the past week in the
Arizona desert. In all, 19 have died since October.
-
- With summer still nearly three weeks away, "we're
expecting that it is going to get worse," said Doreen Manuel, a tribal
detective on the reservation where Gonzalez was found.
-
- Heat-related deaths are an annual occurrence on this
parched section of border, which draws those immigrants who don't believe
they can get into the United States anywhere else. But they're more of
a concern this year, with immigrants pouring into the state by the thousands
each month.
-
- In March, the Border Patrol arrested 76,245 illegal immigrants
in the Tucson sector, which covers all but 50 miles of the Arizona-Mexico
border. That puts the sector on pace to break an annual record of detaining
more than 470,000 illegal immigrants.
-
- Federal authorities have increased patrols in California
and Texas, forcing more border crossers to enter through Arizona. And stricter
enforcement of the border near Arizona's urban areas is in turn pushing
immigrants to try remote areas where they can find little water and must
often endure triple-digit heat. Most are ill-prepared to survive.
-
- During all the 1999 fiscal year, there were 10 heat exposure
deaths in the Tucson sector's western deserts, but none before mid-June,
said Border Patrol spokesman Charles Klingberg.
-
- In the Yuma sector, which covers the rest of Arizona's
border, 11 people have died of heat exposure during fiscal year 2000. There
were only four confirmed heat-exposure deaths in the area all of last year.
-
- Alfredo Casillas, a Border Patrol spokesman in Yuma,
said another factor behind the increase is that more patrols are venturing
into the desert, where they are more likely to encounter stranded immigrants
and find bodies.
-
- Gonzalez was traveling with a small group that was told
by smugglers "they were only going to be walking for six hours in
the desert," Manuel said. "But the six hours lasted four days."
-
- Gonzalez carried 2 gallons of water, but drank little
herself to allow more for her child, who is now in the care of Mexican
authorities and will be reunited with family.
-
- Like many others, she was found because a member of her
group sought help from tribal police. Police in turn called the Border
Patrol, which began searching for the group.
-
- "The Border Patrol thought they would be rescuing
a very sick lady," Manuel said. _____
