Latinos Rattled by Ohio Sheriff's Mission (He's Doing The RIGHT Thing!)

...Jones warns companies, "You know who you are, and we're coming."

The USA needs more county sheriffs like Jones.

The police cars that cruise by Little Mexico aren't from Sheriff Jones' office but from the city of Hamilton, whose police force is trying to improve relations with the Hispanic community. But that effort seems undermined by Jones' campaign against illegal immigrants.

And less of liberal newspaper editorializing against proper law enforcement.

Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

"In two, three months, we might go back to Mexico and not come back again," Alejandra says. "I even have a brother-in-law, his company has told him he has one more month and then there will be no more work for him. So we're going to have to go."

Sounds good to me. Don't let the doorknob hit you on the ass on your way out.

[cripplecreek]

I'm gratified and astonished.

Boycott Employers of Illegals!
All this talk about so-called “immgrants” staying home, not buying goods, or having rallies on May 1st got me thinking that maybe the rest of us should boycott county businesses that hire illegal aliens!

We can make statements too! Let’s all ask businesses “are you in the practice of hiring illegal immigrants?” And if they are, don’t do business with them! If they see that this practice is HURTING their businesses, maybe they’ll realize that maybe breaking the law for additional profit isn’t the wise thing to do!

I’m doing my part, county businesses that are known to hire illegal aliens should expect the type of raids that were executed at a business in Evendale earlier this week.

You know who you are, and we’re coming.

Hold Legislators Accountable
The Senate has been trying to pass legislation that will allow illegals to remain in this country. They say this is not an amnesty program but they have said this in the past. They call this a workers program. It appears the Senate is trying to pass legislation to help themselves and not the citizens they represent or the illegals they are trying to represent. In the end both we the citizens and the illegals will lose out. Remember the actions of these lawmakers and kick them out on election day.

Failure in Washington
Once again Congress and the Senate have failed the American People by not giving them a true immigration bill to help the states, counties, and cities. It is now up to local leaders to pass true legislation and enforce the law. I am going to place billboards throughout my county which quote federal law that makes it illegal to hire illegals. A poster asking for citizens’ support has also been created. To view either the billboard or the poster click on the corresponding thumbnail below.

"If you're going to hold anybody, you've got to have the charges," says Greg Palmore with the regional office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.

And this is the problem. If ICE has this attitude, how can we expect that the law will ever be inforced. Hey... here's an idea... how about if we hold them for the freaking crime they comitted by entering this country illegally in the first place!! What a radical idea!

[mewzilla]

But in fact, Jones couldn't charge the companies if he wanted to -- at least not with hiring illegal workers. That's a federal responsibility.

Are they saying that hiring illegals violates a federal and not a state and/or local law?

If that's the case, then a local LEO can't charge someone with breaking a federal law?

[Paloma_55]

the sheriff's crackdown on illegal immigrants has many in the local Hispanic community frightened of the police.

When they say "many", do they mean "especially those who are breaking the law"???

When the number of cops on the street doubled in my small town, I gave a cheer...for some reason, I did not get scared by that fact. We did have some people complaining... the meth-heads, dopers, speeders, drunk drivers...they really got pissed about the "over enforcement".

Why should law abiding citizens be worried?

Richard Jones, known as “Jonesy” to his friends, was born on October 11th, 1953 in Hamilton, Ohio in Butler County. After graduating from the Hamilton City School system, he volunteered for the military draft where he served from 1973 to 1975 as a combat engineer and was promoted to the rank of Specialist 4 during his two-year enlistment.

ICE has this imbecilic idea that the law is not to be enforced. They are the problem begging for a solution. If they won't do their job then they should be eliminated.

The jackass Palmore doesn't understand that word ENFORCEMENT !

"Her husband has a job in a factory, but they're so worried that they, too, might be arrested by the sheriff that they just might give up on life in the United States.

"In two, three months, we might go back to Mexico and not come back again," Alejandra says. "I even have a brother-in-law, his company has told him he has one more month and then there will be no more work for him. So we're going to have to go."

Naw. This approach won't work. /sarc

Wonder what would happen to the "undocumented workers" problem, if this were applied Nationwide?

DUH!!!

Of course, here and every else, ICE is really doing their job. NOT.

[redgolum]

Is there a defense fund set up for when the ACLU attacks him on human rights violations? /sarcasm.

[RobtPruitt]

"I even have a brother-in-law...

Imagine that.

So we're going to have to go."

Farewell. Oh, sorry, adios.

and the other being an undocumented immigrant that poses no significant public safety threat -- you can surmise exactly where we'll put our resources," Palmore says.

Ok folks. You read it here first and it went right by you.

Here is ICE admitting that illegal aliens ARE a public safety threat, just that they are not a SIGNIFICANT public safety threat.

[RobtPruitt]

Excellent articles begging to be posted.

[EricT.]

"If two simultaneous calls came in -- one that was national security, and the other being an undocumented immigrant that poses no significant public safety threat -- you can surmise exactly where we'll put our resources," Palmore says.

I am so glad that ICE has the concept of priorities. Now unless there are a number of AQ sleeper cells in Butler County they should get back to doing the rest of their job...the one that takes up the first word in their bureacracracy's title...IMMIGRATION and Customs ENFORCEMENT!!!

"Lourdes de Leon, owner of the Taqueria Mercado, a Butler County restaurant, says the sheriff's crackdown on illegal immigrants has many in the local Hispanic community frightened of the police."


If you're not here illegally, you have nothing to fear.
