ARTICLE SNIPPET: "BISBEE - Sheriff Larry Dever said Thursday that illegal immigrants are becoming more brazen putting the lives of Cochise County residents in jeopardy.
An extreme example of how dangerous the border situation has become is a Thursday morning carjacking, during which a woman and her daughter were assaulted at their residence by three Mexican nationals who illegally entered the United States, Dever said.
"They (illegal immigrants) are more desperate and obviously they don't care about American citizens," he said.
Dever said some illegal immigrants are showing up at school bus stops, and his deputies are patrolling those in rural areas near the border to make sure nothing happens.
The sheriff said a group of volunteers is needed to work with the deputies to keep on eye on school bus stops.
His department is working to set up such a program."
