Two-thirds of the 93 people arrested during the first day of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's latest crime and immigration sweep were believed to be illegal immigrants.
The two-day sweep is being run in an area of west Phoenix with a high number of "drop houses" where smugglers hide immigrants who have been sneaked into the country.
It's the 15th sweep that Arpaio has conducted since early 2008.
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.
Critics say deputies racially profile Hispanics during the patrols. Arpaio says his deputies approach people only when they have probable cause to believe people had committed crimes.

Go get ‘em, Sheriff.
With an Arizona sheriff’s deputy fighting for his life tonight, I wouldn’t expect Arpaio to be a very “happy camper” right now. He’s pissed. Unlike the liberal girlymen posing as police chiefs in some of our towns like Phoenix.

And, he even told them he was comin’... Last week, on Fox News.
Guess that language thing caught ‘em, eh?
Easily my favorite western.
Kilmer was great in it.
That’s what I’m talkin’ about!
My favorite!!!
BTW, Sheriff Joe is at this moment after these guys:

I’ve been watching this on the net after hearing it on the radio.
The aliens were shooting at a police helicopter.

You got that right. Great movie!
I loved this movie...great actors and theme...thanks for the heads up...going to watch it tonight!
Oh my God. This man is going into heavily Latino areas looking for illegal Latinos. That’s racist. He should be raiding the Irish or Amish sectors of town while trying to find illegal Latino aliens.

I pray for his safety.

Thanks AuntB! I hope they get the maggots that did the shooting. Lowlifes. I’m so ashamed that our so-called government is not only bowing and kissing the feet of the Islamofascists, now, we’re doing the same to the murdering invaders from Central and South America. We’re so lucky to have Sheriff Arapio as one of our generals in this war.
Sam Elliot is one hot looking man Does that make me gay?
LOL! Arpaio loves irritating liberals. A lot of the things that he does, he does just to antagonize them. I love it.
