PHOENIX -- Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio launched his latest crime and immigration sweep on Thursday, this time in west Phoenix.
One by one, accused criminals and illegal immigrants were carted into a sheriff’s van. There were a total of 89 arrests -- 61 of them suspected of being in the country illegally.
But despite the fact that the majority of arrests involved Hispanic-looking people, Arpaio said this is not racial profiling.
“We do not go on a street corner and grab people because they look like they are from another country,” said Arpaio.
Outside the training facility, where he staged his 15th crime suppression sweep, Arpaio did have his supporters.
“I think that we’ve had enough terrorizing, raping, clubbing of American citizens -- we’re tired of it now,” said Betty Tillman.
But on the other side of the street, nearly a dozen demonstrators demanded these crime sweeps end.

Words you will NEVER hear from Obama&Co. “I think that we’ve had enough terrorizing, raping, clubbing of American citizens — we’re tired of it now,”
“demanding crime sweeps end” WOW!
Seriously. What is wrong with people?
Ping!
They're criminals. And I do mean the demonstrators, not just the people MCSO arrested.
