Aaron Kennard and County The Associated Press - SALT LAKE CITY Leaders of some Latino groups say Rep. Chris Cannons questionnaire asking constituents to share tales of being victims of crimes perpetrated by illegal aliens is fanning flames. At a hearing in Salt Lake City on Monday, Cannon and Rep. Lamar Smith, heard testimony from government officials and officers about undocumented immint grants committing crimes in Utah. Some Latinos asked how the victims could tell whether the criminal was in the country legall- Commissioner Mary Callaghan. Cannon said illegal immigrants account for more than half of the county's felony drug arrests, Attorney Michael Martinez of Salt Lake City said Latinos account for a small percentage of felony crime. There are 15 categories that the D.A.s office tracks, like assault, rape and child molestation, Martinez said. The only category where Hispanics are making any kind of a blip on the radar screens are drug offenses. They are saying this one category deserves so much more attention Although Cannon sent out a questionnaire asking his constituents what they thought about the states revolving door for criminal illegal aliens, at the Monday hearing he did not ask for input from neighborhood and community leaders.

Cannon said that there was not enough time. y- Not everyone whos ever been assaulted will know, said Cannon. But often in a community, people know whos undocumented and whos not. Latino leaders say that some Anglos tell the difference between illegal immigrants and legal residents not by documents, but by skin color. The questionnaire was an absurd thing, said Jesse Soriano, chairman of the group Utah Coalition of La Ra-zThe whole exercise was inflammatory and irresponsible. How do you know if you have been victimized by an illegal immigrant? Many Latinos fear a Utah version of the 1997 roundup of 432 suspected illegal immigrants in Chandler, Anz. During the five-da- y operation, many U.S.-bor- n Latinos were stopped by police and asked to prove their citizenship. Sixteen residents have filed a $35 million n lawsuit accusing police of arresting them only because they are Latino. Cannon, whose district includes Utah County and the west side of Salt Lake County, said, This is not a race issue. This is a matter of crime."

Caruso is the first to receive a pnson term in a Utah prosecution for defacing petroglyphs, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Wayne Dance. Dance said he believed Caruso drew a pnson sentence Monday because the graffiti was obnoxious in character and the swastika was deeply cut into the rock, making repairs difficult.
