Sheriff Joe Arpaio Lauches 20th ‘Crime Suppression Sweep’ (Nets 11 illegals in 1st hr)
Stand With Arizona ^ | 10-06-2011 | John Hill

Maricopa County, AZ Sheriff Joe Arpaio today launched his 20th "Crime Supression Sweep", as his Posse members flooded the streets of southwest Phoenix.

The area has seen a big spike in illegal alien-driven crime, including the killing of a police officer, and the kidnapping of a female business owner by Mexican drug smugglers. And the Sweep has already reaped dividends:

The sweep began around 2:30 p.m. Thursday and during the first few hours of the operation, deputies made 18 arrests, of which 11 are suspected illegal aliens. Some of the charges that suspects have been arrested for include possession and sale of marijuana, outstanding warrants, and forgery and identity theft.
The Sheriff scoffed at accusations of "racial profiling" during his raids:
I don't know if they're all illegal or half illegal. We don't take census of who lives here. It doesn't make any difference.
WTG Joe! The sweep will continue through October 7.

How heartless of him.

Rick Perry would think so.

Good police officers make traffic stops for minor infractions like running a stop sign or having an expired license tag. That allows them to check driver’s licenses and discover arrest warrants. It is not “special or new” - law enforcement officers do the same thing all over the world. In addition to finding arrest warrants, it is also possible to find people who are in our country illegally using this method.

I went out on that detail tonight and will be out tomorrow night also. I don’t know if we “flooded the streets,” but there were quite a few Posse members out there. We rode with the Deputies, transported arrested individuals back to the Command Post, and provided security and booking assistance at the Command Post. The radio was buzzing with activity all evening, and the dispatcher was amazing. I don’t know how she kept all of the messages straight, but she did an awesome job. Someone got on the radio late in the evening and thanked her for all the good work she was doing.

One of the TV news organizations needs to post the raw video of the news conference this afternoon. The video you will see of Sheriff Arpaio shows him all serious, discussing crime suppression, which is fine for their purposes. But there was another part of the news conference where he was taking questions, and he was laughing and joking with all of the reporters and they were loving it. It was too long for a TV news “sound bite,” but it would make a great YouTube video. Just look at that Sheriff’s photo on mcso.org and you will see the real Joe Arpaio that we all know.

He defies the FED objectives, i.e., POTUS-Obama, by enforcing immigration laws. He’s a PATRIOT... that’s the story, morning glory.
