For example, Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano has recently decided to send some Department of Public Safety Officers to special training classes, in an effort to strictly enforce immigration laws and make the border safer.
According to The Arizona Daily Star, there will be approximately 100 people out of 1,200 receiving the special training.
The special training class lasts five weeks and is primarily teaches officers to immediately recognize is someone is violating an immigration law. If the officers manage to arrest any illegal immigrants, they have the power to deport them, according to the Arizona Daily Star.
The Governor wanted to make it clear that this special training is not, in any way, intended to scare or intimidate any immigrants thinking about coming to the United States. We welcome any individual who is seeking employment and has legal documentation. 
The officers who pass the five week class will be immediately working on cases dealing with illegal immigration. According to the Arizona Daily Star, the officers will be targeting smuggling rings, money laundering and gang-related activity.
Officers already has the authority of enforcing immigration law, these special classes gives them the right to arrest if they come across illegal activity along the border. This plan will hopefully implement a structured environment in a chaotic setting.
It's important to make the border a place of salvation and re-birth, rather than a haven for violence and continual crime.
