What makes Nogales "the most Mexican town" in Arizona? Just because it
lays on the border of Mexico? Nogales is very diverse and there is a
large anglo population also.

Crime is a problem in every American City large or small. Mexican
immigration may or may not have a factor on local crime. If you want
racial profiling then you may want to look at prison populations to
consider in your theory.

I think the point you were trying to make was that towns with large
Mexican populations have lower crime. I say your local crime statistics
have more to do with community envolvement and crime prevention than the
presence of Mexicans. Tucson, a town rich in Mexican history and
culture, has the highest percentage of automobile thefts in the country.
Phoenix is a close second. Facts are that a large number of our
automobiles stollen in this country are heading to Mexico. Does that
mean that all Mexicans are responsible? Hell no.

We don't know who is stealling our cars but being so close to a country
that does not cooperate on returning stolen goods doesn't give us a warm
fuzzy feeling.

Facts are that in most small towns... US or Mexico your car should be
safe... you have a very unlikely chance of getting assaulted and you
should not be effected by crime. But according to your last statistic
about Nogales a small sleepy low crime community of 21,000, Auto Theft
is still more than twice the rate of New York City.

I still say your theory has major holes in it.
