We are not the problem, we are part of the solution
NEW POLL SHOWS BORDER RESIDENTS FEEL SAFE
According to the poll, commissioned by the Border Network for Human Rights, a community organization in El Paso, Texas, and conducted by the Reuel Group, 86.5% of border residents said they feel safe walking or driving in their neighborhood during their regular daily activities. Almost 70% said they felt their border neighborhood was as safe as most U.S. neighborhoods and 67% said they felt safe living in their border community.
The poll was conducted on 1,222 border residents in three Arizona border cities (Douglas, Nogales and Yuma), two California border cities (El Centro and San Diego), Las Cruces, New Mexico, and four Texas border cities (Brownsville, El Paso, Laredo and McAllen) in mid-July.

This organization, founded in 1998, is one of the leading immigration reform and human rights advocacy organization in the United States. Based in El Paso, the BNHR counts about 4,000 members in El Paso and Southern New Mexico. More information at www.bnhr.org.
I guess since most border residents are illegals they would feel safe.
“Border Network for Human Rights, a community organization?”.....
We already have a “crimmunity organization” running America!....NO THANKS!
Illegals feel safer than they felt in Mexico. Of course.
BS.
The name of the group, which is associated with all of those Workers of the World groups on the East Coast, should be “Border Network for Open Borders.” And I wouldn’t believe a word they had to say about anything. If they said the sun rises in the East, I would get up early to go outside and watch, just to make sure.
Did they poll any actual American citizens?
Ping!
Judging by the URL, English is BNHR’s webmaster’s second language as well.
I saw that :o)
Heck, then I’m sold. Open the border now.... wait, they already are.
Have you hugged an Illegal alien today?
According to El Paso residents in the know, the Reuel Group can be bought by the highest bidder.
...Nothing more than ... Fellings ...

Tiny samples.
And I believe in most towns in US 90 to 100 % would think their’s is as safe as others.
Sounds like a Lefist organization promoting amnesty. They are protesting the national guard at the border.
The Strive Act did not pass but last December, Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., restarted the process by introducing his comprehensive immigration reform bill, a bill with an extensive border enforcement section, reflecting the BNHRs sound principles. Whatever happens to the Gutierrez bill, the BNHR is committed to making sure that the border and its residents are from now on a staple of immigration reform legislation.
The BNHR is our enemy.
Fish don't know they're wet.
