Neil Conan, of NPR’s Talk of the Nation, recently interviewed James Alan Fox, crime expert and Northeastern University law professor regarding recent FBI statistics showing that crime rates dropped significantly in Arizona since 2000, despite the perception that undocumented immigrants are responsible for increased criminal activity. Debate swirled around the statistics as evidenced by blogger Tim McGuire’s statement that crime had increased in the rural counties along the Mexican border. James Fox debunked Tim McGuire’s arguments, stating “the fact is that crime has not increased in Arizona. In fact, it’s gone down mostly. And trying to blame illegal immigrants for rising crime just isn’t fair." Read Neal Conan’s interview with James Fox in its entirety:
