Those play pretty well with the rich white people.

Look, money talks. He rounds up a few poors and browns and all the moneyed white will look at it as further proof he's one of them, he's on their side, and he's doing Jesus's work.

And don't think a few little corruption charges will bother the wealthy white. We just look at that as a sign that he really IS one of us.

If you're brown, come on down.

Well, that's one thing brown can do for you.

Arpaio is a douche but illegal immigrants are still people breaking the law.

Every US citizen of hispanic or mexican descent in the state of AZ should flood that area for 2 days.

"I was born in East L.A."

It's like the reporters don't even care to report anything on him anymore. Reads as though the writer really just wanted to say, "Whatever. Same old Sheriff Joe shiat going down."

Not trying to defend Joe here, but just because an area is heavily Latino doesn't mean he shouldn't raid it.

While it is profiling to only go to ghettos and inner city projects, it isn't profiling based on race.

Don't make Joe put up more tents!

Are there any statistics on how many of these arrests hold up? How many turn out to not be illegals?

Not defending the guy, who clearly is a first-class douche that thinks he is above the law, but I'd like to understand the reality behind the hyperbole.

"The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office in Arizona has launched a two-day, countywide crime and immigration sweep that authorities say will focus on drop houses, drug violators and human smuggling vehicles."

GOOD

"During the sweeps, deputies flood an area of a city - in some cases heavily Latino areas - to seek out traffic violators and arrest other alleged lawbreakers."

EVEN BETTER

Rich (i.e powerful/wealthy) whites use the cops (among others) as a buffer to keep the poor/middle class from revolting. They throw the cops a few bones and the cops eat it up and think they're part of the club! LOL! wake up Buffer Cops!

Maybe Joe will go to the local Wal - Mart and get on the intercom....

"Attention Wal - Mart Shoppers.... There will be a green card check in aisle 15.... Please have your wallet open... That is all"


Yeah, this will go over well with the ACLU.

Critics say Arpaio's deputies have racially profiled Hispanics. The sheriff says deputies approach people only when they have probable cause to believe people have committed crimes.

Behavior like being NOT white in public.

What's the Immigration Service doing here, man?

My cousin needed a ride to his brother's wedding in Tijuana; so he called the Emigras, man. They'll deport the entire wedding party, man. They get a free bus ride across the border and lunch. When the wedding is over, man, they'll just come back across the border.

Suuuupertrucker: Yeah, this will go over well with the ACLU.


I worked at a furniture store when I first moved to Tucson. Another employee there had her friend stop by in the middle of the day to look around. So this guy shows up at the store in his Border Patrol uniform and 18 warehouse workers fly out of the rear of the warehouse and never come back...


/cool story bro

Four hundred deputies and volunteer posse members are taking part in the patrols.

So basically, if you got a thing against hispanic folks, you can join Joe's posse so you can harass a few this weekend?

Why isn't this asshole behind bars yet?

Very true. Money talks.

The US saw this in the 60's during the civil rights movement as well as today. George Wallace, Orval Faubus are good examples. In Wallaces case as the tide changed, he did a little as well.

Or long hair, or baggy clothes, or stumbling around drunk, or running from the police. It's totally uncool that the police might want to check someones ID for things like this.

The town of Oro Valley lets people work on a volunteer patrol. They get cop cars and they can pull you over and give you a ticket. If you piss them off, they call the real police and off you go...

This guy is awesome...

If EVERY law enforcement officer ACTUALLY arrested people for breaking our immigration laws...

They'd be no problems with immigration.

I'm hispanic...if I'm pulled over, I'D HAVE NO PROBLEM AT ALL answering a cop's question about my citizenship.
You know why?

Cuz I'm a citizen!!!

Only dumbass blleding heart liberals and farkin illegal aliens are against this guy and his tactics.

Go Joe!!!

That sounds reasonable

I love how we're ok with profiling for business, but not criminals. We're even ok with it when it comes to benefits, from the government.

I'll even admit this one might be a little racial looking, but we're talking about immigration, and while it's a touchy subject, the truth of it is, the law is being broken and people want to act like we're suppose to over look it. It effects our economy, our jobs, our education, and many things, but we're not suppose to look at that, someone might get their feelings hurt.

Joe might be an ass, but I like what he's done with the prison system, and I think it helps deter people from going back. Isn't that the point of jail/prison?
