I have been hearing some news that illegal immigrants are shooting people and worse.

This morning, a news article reported that an FBI expert specializing human trafficking in the U.S. says that 20 percent of the victims were Mexican women and Mexico is the number one foreign country sending victims of human trafficking to the U.S. One might have heard of Arizona's new immigration law and its outrageous racial profiling at least once by now. But, you may not have heard of the report on the "rape trees" in Arizona dessert border towns. Or, you might have heard of human trafficking by the Mexican drug cartels, but you don't know how nerve wrecking it is to live in a place like Phoenix, Arizona. As a matter of fact, unless you live in the state, you do not know what one has to face living in a state, where Mexican drug cartel is kidnapping everyone including U.S. citizens, in his or her neighborhood in Phoenix.

Mexican drug cartel and human trafficking in Arizona

According to one report, the trees on the U.S. side of Mexico and U.S. border are littered with women's undergarments. Mexican drug cartels and coyotes are believed to rape women and children once they entered the U.S. territory to control and intimidate them. After acquiring control over the victims, the drug cartels are forcing these women and children into prostitution. As the economic downturn in the U.S. is causing high unemployment rate, less number of people are trying to cross the border. Also, as Mexican authority pushes back against drug trafficking, drug cartel finds human trafficking and kidnapping more lucrative than drug trafficking. Rape trees are the trophies of coyotes and the drug cartels to mark their brutal conquests by exploiting women. What is worse, law enforcement officials testify that it was becoming more visual and common in the Arizona soil.

Phoenix the world's number two kidnapping city

Thanks to the Mexican drug cartel and coyotes. Phoenix, as of 2009, became the world's number two city of kidnapping while the world's number one city was, of course, Mexico city. And the drug cartels were increasing its turfs by victimizing U.S. citizens. Coyotes and drug cartels have kidnapped U.S. citizens for ransom and tortured or raped them. Though opponents of the new Arizona bill argue that the general crime rate in Arizona actually decreased between 2006 and 2009, crimes committed by Mexican drug cartels actually increased during the same period. One report stated that the police received 366 kidnapping in 2008, which was an increase from 359 in 2007. But, the police estimates that twice that number go unreported.

This was just after a very quick search...
