Rep. Russell Pearce: The Tribune again ignores the facts. Our citizens deserve better! The Tribune’s June 17 editorial talks about finding Mesa Police Chief George Gascón’s replacement, someone who can “dispel the myth that Mesa is a sanctuary city for illegal immigrants.” But it is not a myth!

“Enforcers” are a big part of hockey – and never more so than in this matchup.

Upon viewing several TV shows developed on the basis of “profiling”, one would query the constant criticism directed at police profiling. Unless law enforcement witnesses the “smoking gun” or catches the perpetrator(s) walking out the door, most criminal investigations start with profiling, whether the ‘politically correct’ officials wish to admit it or not.

Arizona’s legal system seems to be completely corrupt.

Incoming attorney general Tom Horne has chosen as his first official target in combatting crime in our state the dangerous Mexican-American studies classes in Tucson schools. This would be laughable if it were not part of the larger social tapestry in Arizona.

The U.S. Department of Justice estimates 80 percent of crime is linked to organized crime groups.
