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.

You would think by now illegals would get the idea and not cross into Maricopa County.

Far as I know most people illegally crossing the border into Maricopa County, Arizono, are from South America (big duh for the pro-illegal alien activists). If those crossiing the border illegally, no matter what their skin color or ethic derivation, think they can disregard US law and get away with it, they are sadly mistaken. Go Sheriff Joe!
