The likelihood of a shift into California is less clear.

Apprehensions in San Diego are up, though it isn't clear whether that is related to the Arizona crackdown. Arrests are down in southeastern California, said David Kim, spokesman for the Border Patrol's El Centro office. More than 40 percent of the 340 migrant deaths along the Southwest border last year were in Arizona. Ranchers complain bringing in more manpower and technology was launched in March. It will likely cause migrant deaths to decline in Arizona and rise elsewhere if the crackdown remains strong, said Rodriguez, co-director of the University of Houston's Center for Immigration Research.

The types of deaths could shift. More people could drown in rivers and suffer heat exposure while crossing dense brush in south Texas, Rodriguez said. "It's a very unfriendly area for people who don't know the Arizona border crackdown pushing immigrants to Texas, New Mexico By JACQUES BILLEAUD Silvestre Reyes, D-Texas, a for- new border offensive that's PHOENIX Violence and misery highlight the illegal immigrant trade that drives so much crime in Arizona, the busiest illegal crossing point along the U.S.-Mexico border. Now, with a massive immigration crackdown in progress in Arizona, smugglers are expected to take those problems to other spots along the mile boundary. "If you squeeze a balloon in the middle, it will expand in some other place," said Dennis Smith, a spokesman for U.S.

Customs and Border Protection in Del Rio, Texas. The heavy flow of illegal immigrants that has dogged Arizona in recent years has already shifted somewhat to New Mexico and is expected to move to Texas, targeting a central corridor along the Rio Grande, experts and some local officials said. Experts said the crackdown may deter some would-be crossers, but illegal workers will continue to come here as long as they can make more in an hour in the United States than they can in a day at home. Smugglers who earn $1,500 to $5,000 for each customer will also continue to find remote and dangerous migration routes where enforcement is weaker, a tactic that contributes to hundreds of deaths each year, experts said. This isn't the first migration patterns have shifted.

Immigrants funneled into Arizona when the government tightened enforcement in El Paso, Texas, and San Diego during the mid-1990s, leading to a mass of problems for Phoenix and the state. A new shift has already begun into southwestern New Mexico. Police in the Lordsburg area, where immigrant apprehensions have doubled over the last year, attribute the influx largely to stronger enforcement in Arizona. "We have always had (illegal immigration). But they know that Arizona is closed, so they are coming here," said Lordsburg Police Chief John McDonald.

The Arizona crackdown also will likely push more illegal crossings into Texas, said Rep. Blood drive TODAY Red Cross Blood Drive, 10:30 a.m to 3:30 p.m., Allvac, 530 S.W 34th St, Albany.

Associated Press writer that immigrants damage their fences and litter land with water bottles and other debris. Police said kidnappings and killings tied to smuggling rose last year in Phoenix, a hub for transporting illegal immigrants to different spots across the country. The high profits and low overhead of the illicit business were so attractive that smugglers If you squeeze a balloon in the middle, it will expand in some other Dennis Smith, U.S. Customs started kidnapping rival smugglers' customers so their families in Mexico, Central America or elsewhere could be extorted. Last year's most violent turf dispute, a shooting involving two moving vehicles on Interstate 10 south of Phoenix, left four people dead and several more wounded.

As smuggling violence the federal government launched its crackdown, similar to ones used against organized crime, late last year. Still, people continued crossing illegally into Arizona, so a terrain," said Rodriguez. Advocates on both ends of the debate said tighter security alone won't solve the country's immigration problems. The economy needs to improve in Mexico, where the minimum wage is about $4 a day. U.S.

policies also must change, they said. Advocates for limiting immigration say the government must remove incentives for illicit crossings by going after businesses that hire illegals; immigrant supporters say the United States should make it legal for would-be crossers to work here temporarily and let their families visit. "The pull of those who work here and live here is strong, and it will trump whatever we do otherwise," said Angela Kelley, deputy director of the pro-immigrant National Immigration Forum.
