I’d like to know what ICE is doing with the names.

Even if ICE tosses the names in the trash, the sheriff's tactic ends up having a "chilling effect" on the hiring of illegals in town.....which is a step in the right direction.

The Mexican American Legal Defense Fund is investigating the arrests because "the intimidation factor is of great concern," said Elise Shore, regional counsel for the organization.

Bite me Elise.

I know, is that not the sorriest thing you have ever heard? What a miserable jerk.

Gosh, I am concerned because these people are concerned. Judging from the acrimony surrounding amnesty, American citizens are experiencing and voicing their feelings of intimidation.

Why are they sending out six or seven agents to investigate a paper crime,

The BATFE has many more agents than that looking for violations of NFA '34 - which are paper crimes too. But, where's the outrage?

That just means he hasn’t found a loophole yet to file charges.

Hmmm interesting. This would help explain why I’m seeing less mexicans around here lately. Still got a long way to go though.

Looks out Sheriff Joe Arpaio (sp?)... someone is gaining on you!

Slowly but surely folks are waking up.

Diagonally across the street from my son's house here in Panama City , there were (it turned out) 18 Mexicans living in a rented two-bedroom house. The yard looked like a parking lot.

After they moved out, the owner's crew worked on cleaning it up for three days. The carpet was trashed and the furniture had to be thrown out. They still have all the windows open, airing the place out.

The Mexicans have been disappearing quite rapidly in the past month. A Grocery Outlet store I sometimes shop at is always packed with them on Saturdays (some pushing several loaded carts) so there are always long checkout lines. The past two Saturdays the store was about as empty as I have ever seen it.

The condo builders are scaling down projects and delaying them as they have overbuilt and can't sell the existing units, so that could be another factor.

This only works until they learn that they shouldn’t run. If the ACLU is involved, they will get the word out to stay cool and don’t panic when the sheriff pulls up.

don’t forget failing to pay worker’s comp premiums for the illegals. I hope the sheriff is hauling away the foreman too in those cases. Too bad the bleeding hearts aren’t looking out for the rights of the exploited workers. Oh wait, if they weren’t exploited, they wouldn’t need groups “advocating” for them, growing fat off the grant money.

My husband works construction here in Georgia, I just showed him the article, he thought it was great. I wouldn’t mind moving back to the beach.

I heard that a police cruiser turned on his flashing lights on a busy Panama City street and 5 cars were immediately abandoned. LOL!

We are proud of Sheriff Frank!

“the ACLU says its constitutionality is questionable.”

So, the American Communist’s Lawyers Union thinks police chase of a running suspect is “unconstitutional”? Might I ask where in the Constitution they found such?

Call the Waaaaambulance - their napies are nasty again and they are getting restless as a result.
