Studies are now showing that being a border patrol police is less dangerous than being a police officer in any regular town or city. Politians keep saying how we need more help at the borders, when in actuallity we don't. It's actually not nearly as dangerous as it once was, or as everyone is making it seem. Not to say it's not dangerous at all because we all know it is- studies are just showing that it's a lot less dangerous now than it has been in past times. The top four large cities in America with the lowest crime and violence rates are all in border states: San Diego, Phoenix, El Paso, and Austin- according to a new FBI report. Recent reports show that last year approximatly 3% of border patrol police were injured where as approximatly 11% of street police were injured on the job. This really surprises me because I always the the border would be the kind of place that would always be extremely dangerous no matter what time of year it was. It's great to hear that it's a lot safer now; if it's true that is. The president of Border Control says that illegal immigration has settled down because the U.S. is in a recession so they really have no good reason to come here right now.
