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.

I guess since most border residents are illegals they would feel safe.

Illegals feel safer than they felt in Mexico. Of course.

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.

Judging by the URL, English is BNHR’s webmaster’s second language as well.

According to El Paso residents in the know, the Reuel Group can be bought by the highest bidder.

Link to poll numbers on this page: http://www.texastribune.org/texas-mexico-border-news/texas-mexico-border/poll-majority-of-border-residents-feel-safe/

Tiny samples.
And I believe in most towns in US 90 to 100 % would think their’s is as safe as others.

The BNHR’s mission is to organize border communities through human rights education and to mobilize our members to ignite change in policy and practice. The BNHR has three ongoing campaigns -Comprehensive immigration reform; Accountable and responsible border policy; and Protection and Promotion of civil and human rights.

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 BNHR’s 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.
