"BORDER CRIMES DOWN BY 60%, PERRY SAYS"
Governor notes offenses fell in 27 counties after a crackdown on illegal crossings

Austin - A crackdown on illegal border crossings has produced a 'stunning' reduction in crime for 27 Texas counties, Gov. Rick Perry said Tuesday.

"Borderwise, we experienced an average crime reduction of 60% because of intensive operations under Operation Rio Grande," Perry said of the border security effort.

The operation proves that an increased law enforcement presence at known trouble spots makes the border more secure and border communities safer, the governor said.

Extra law enforcement on the border also will make it harder for terrorists to enter the U.S., Perry said.

Nationwide, 650 people from "special interest countries" were caught last year entering the country illegally, he said. "This shows the potential of terrorist organizations to infiltrate our borders is a real threat and must be taken seriously."
