Burning Atlanta

I've posted a lot of bits about Arpaio. I have no doubt that some of you, especially those that live there, know a helluva lot more than I ever will but, from an outsider looking in, it looks like the pro-illegals are some seriously lying, deceitful, cowardly weasels.

They act like he's going wild in the streets targeting Hispanics and that's been shown to be a total lie. But they keep repeating the lie. I've made this observation before: If your position is so sound and right then you wouldn't need to lie and deceive. So, when I see people lying like hell about an issue that tells me they have no sound base and are inventing arguments. In short: Dirtbags.

I've never felt any need to lie and deceive over this issue but that's all I ever hear from the pro-illegal side.

Hey, Sheriff Joe. Tell them to go to hell.

Arpaio, who has been active in arresting illegal immigrants, came under fire from Wilcox and State Rep. Steve Gallardo, D-Phoenix, who said the sheriff's recent ventures in Phoenix and Guadalupe amount to racial profiling. Within an hour after their comments at a news conference, Arpaio announced he had begun a crime suppression patrol in Fountain Hills. "Racial profiling." Gee, how many times have I heard that one? Ahh, like EVERYTIME there's ANY mention of enforcement?

Meanwhile, Gallardo asked of Arpaio's patrols, ``At what point does this come to where we have violence in the streets of Phoenix because of his tactics?" If the pro-illegals want to resort to violence as a protest to the enforcement of our immigration laws I'd consider that an extremely stupid thing to do. As I've stated many times: LEFTISTS never met a white flag they didn't like and they're answer to every problem is surrender.

Gallardo said the sheriff is using immigration as a political stunt and ``is spending his precious resources on sweeps that for the most part are unconstitutional, they violate the civil rights of many." Really? Well, then file suit. PROVE IT.

Gallardo said he has a message for Arpaio: ``Stop causing havoc within the streets of Phoenix. Stop causing havoic within Maricopa County. Do your job. We support the mayor. The mayor's 100 percent accurate."

Gordon recently asked the federal government to investigate Arpaio's patrols.

Wilcox said the sheriff is carrying out illegal raids and the Hispanic community is united like never before to stop it.

``It is nothing more than racial profiling of American citizens of Mexican descent," Wilcox said.

She said Hispanics will fight the recall of Gordon ``in various ways, by fund-raising, by helping out any anti-recall group, grass-roots organizing and, more importantly, recruiting young people to take a leadership role in our grass-roots effort." Again, sad that the issue of illegal immigration has been hijacked by the pro-illegals into an issue of ethnicity. There was a recall effort for Arpaio that got nowhere. I don't know how far they'll get with the Gordon recall but I'll bet it has better legs.

FACTS from earlier articles including today.

A total of seven traffic stops and fourteen contacts were made throughout a seven-hour patrol period.
This resulted in ten arrests, nine of them being of undocumented immigrants, and three felony warrants cleared.

Many town residents took to the streets to oppose Arpaio's recent crime saturation sweep that netted nine suspected illegal immigrants and 38 others on warrant arrests and drug violations.

During the 30 hours of operation, Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Phoenix and Guadalupe crime suppression programs netted more than 150 arrests, including 73 illegal immigrants.

Eighteen fugitives were apprehended on a variety of warrant charges, including drug possession and domestic violence, MCSO said. Nearly 30 warrants belonging to several Valley law enforcement agencies were cleared.
