PHOENIX (KPHO) -
Sheriff Joe Arpaio had his first run-in with a group of suspected illegal immigrants since things heated up with the Department of Justice.
The Department of Justice recently revoked his deputies' ability to check immigration status inside Maricopa County jails.
Maricopa County Sheriff's Office Lt. Justin Griffin says they pulled over a vehicle and have eight people in their custody for human smuggling at 35th Avenue and Durango.
Griffin says they attempted to give four of the detainees to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but MCSO says ICE is refusing to take them.
Griffin says, "We asked ICE, 'If we were DPS, would you take them from us?' And we were told specifically, 'Yes.'"
Stay with KPHO.com and CBS 5 for more on this developing story.
I’m in Nebraska. But Fremont has tried to require landlords to check the immigration status of renters and that ordinance has been put on hold because it’s being challenged in court. So there are people here who are trying to fight the good fight also. But you’re right that there is a lot here that contributes to the problem.
Do you remember back when they had the Day Without Immigrants (or whatever they called it)? My next-door neighbor said that “they” bused people to protest in Lincoln and Omaha, and “they” provided Mexican/Guatemalan, etc flags for people to fly on their car antennas. I did some research to try to find out who “they” were, who organized all these people. Turns out it was the Appleseed Foundation - a Soros-funded group. They work with the school folks and around then also tried to get local businesses to jump on board the pro-illegals agenda.
I literally live right next-door to the rent-a-mob. When George Soros calls for protests a rent-a-mob next door to me rises up in answer. And I’m friends with these people so I understand Perry’s predicament about being careful of what you say. That’s why I don’t want to misunderstand where Perry’s coming from.
I saw that the Minute Men founder endorsed Perry. Again, it makes me believe that I must be misunderstanding where Perry’s coming from. I want to understand. I need some help getting there though, and that’s what Perry needs to help us all out with. There are folks who want to support him, but we need to know how it is that we’re misunderstanding his stance on illegal immigration. We want to stand with the people who are doing the hard work on this. Like we’re standing with Sheriff Joe. We can do that because we know what Joe is doing. Now we need to know what Perry is doing.
All I can tell you is that we have been working this border forever and now the Feds are inhibiting our action.
IMO, virtually every administration official should either be imprisoned or executed, including the Punk himself. Bob
Whoaa! Simmer down feller!
You mean “Obama” administration.
LoL
As an aside, the cartels have been taking over a large portion of the drug transshipment in the U.S. They used to unload it when they got it across the border, now they are moving it all the way to Canada.
"As secure as it's ever been."
We have 91 congressmen in a vote of no confidence on Eric Holder
Liddy did his time for that and refused to turn on the president...John Dean, who worked for Nixon was a turncoat.
I have troubles with Newt, partly because of the amnesty thing. Right now I don’t have a candidate that I support. Cain is out of the race. Bachman and Santorum’s numbers are critically low.
I don’t understand why Perry said you’d about have to not have a soul to deny in-state tuition to the children of illegals. My daughter will graduate from high school in spring. She was looking at a book that listed scholarship opportunities. She couldn’t find any that were for whites. It was all Hispanics and Blacks. Almost like my daughter doesn’t count because she’s white. That’s having a “soul”?
I do understand that there are so many in the Hispanic culture - or at least here anyway - who don’t want higher education. They want to drive fast cars, do drugs, and get laid. (My half-white, half-Mexican neighbor says that’s just their culture; it’s in their blood. I said maybe so but there are Latinos who don’t do that stuff too). So when a kid like that does want to further their education it’s sad to think about them not being able to. So from that perspective I can understand why Perry might have said that. But what should have happened is the parents should have put their names in to come here legally, or else they should have stayed where they were and worked to improve it there.
My daughter is friends with a girl who’s moved around a lot, probably to evade detection as an illegal. Her older sister is dating a guy while screwing around with somebody else. Her mom told her to keep dating this guy even though she doesn’t even like him because she needs to trick this guy into marrying her so she can be legal to stay here and then she can divorce him. Never mind who gets hurt. Just use people for your own purposes. This girl will want to go to college, and there will be scholarships for her just because she’s Hispanic.
The message all her classmates are getting from her story is totally wrong. But it’s there because it is politically advantageous for some powerful people to make sure that people like this girl get the sweet treatment regardless of how they use and abuse both the system and the people around them. The powerful people force this reality onto all of us by saying that it would be heartless of us to not wink at this kind of thing.
If we give somebody in-state tuition even though they are the child of an illegal, does that mean that we deport the illegal parents but not the child who then gets in-state tuition because they are a US citizen residing in-state? Is that what Perry supports? Is he saying they should be given in-state tuition because they themselves are US citizens, regardless of what their parents are? And would he support the deportation of the parents for their illegal activity, regardless of what their children are?
I want to understand what he’s saying.
The cheapest solution would be to put them on plane with one-way ticket to Washington DC.
Ah, that’s the smart answer. Why am I still up?
Goodnight. =)
I understand.
I have been on the wrong end of social engineering myself.
This is Gov’t perpetrated anarchy. Also known as anarcho-tyranny
Don’t back down Sheriff Joe!
ICE blamed for Texas parolee law delayThe state has been unable to enforce a new law designed to increase the deportations of illegal immigrants from the Texas prison system amid concerns that federal immigration officials are unprepared to handle the anticipated influx of convicted criminals, state officials said.
Under the new law, which was scheduled to take effect Sept. 1, state prisoners who are granted parole and turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials must either be deported or leave the country voluntarily - or risk being returned to state custody to serve out the remainder of their sentences.
The law was crafted to address a vexing problem identified by the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, which reported granting parole to some illegal immigrants and turning them over to ICE - only to later learn that they were not removed from the country, said state Rep. Jerry Madden, R-Plano.”………………..
Mexico’s drug war is giving growers a break EL BARRIL, Mexico — The Mexican government is allowing domestic marijuana and opium poppy production to climb to record levels, as soldiers who once cut and burned illegal crops here in the vast Sierra Madre mountains are being redeployed to cities to wage urban warfare against criminal gangs.
Since President Felipe Calderon ordered his troops into the streets in late 2006, the acreage dedicated to marijuana farming has nearly doubled in Mexico, according to technical reports by the U.S. government and the United Nations, data provided by the Mexican military, and interviews with law enforcement agents and growers.
The acreage devoted to opium poppies has also soared, according to the U.S. State Department, making Mexico the second-leading heroin producer in the world, after Afghanistan, whose crop goes mostly to Europe and Asia.......
“Yes, it is a change in strategy, as the army now gives priority to catching criminals and seizing cocaine, which is far more valuable to the cartels” than marijuana or heroin, said Raul Benitez, an expert in drug trafficking and national security at the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
The Mexican government, Benitez said, also cares less about marijuana cultivation these days because the U.S. government appears to care less.”………………..
Still no solution for illegal immigrants' long-term care costs…………..”Still, the real problem isn't hospitals, which transfer most all patients, both U.S. citizens and illegal immigrants, once urgent care is no longer needed and the bed is needed for other patients. It's long-term care facilities, unable to afford to accept patients, like Martinez, who don't have insurance. It remains for hospitals, obligated by federal regulation to arrange post-hospital care for those who need it, to find alternatives and to provide care indefinitely if they can't....
The people of Arizona can always take matters into their own hands as in the past the Minutemen did.
Indeed we do.
This DOJ witchhunt was initiated to fabricate an excuse to pull Arpaio's deputies Immigration Certification. It helps Holder's whole 'feds only' immigration enforcement SCOTUS argument.
Did his deputies get the same Certification Arpio's did?
I guess it’s going to be “bleeding Kansas” for awhile..
I don't think the Feds are going to back down on this if it's related to Arpaio's investigation of Obama's birth certificate, and it very well may be. Short of a National outcry (and even then, they'd revert to simply indicting him)I think they're going to squeeze his balls until he says uncle, or, more likely, squeeze the citizen's balls until they make him say uncle. I don't think I'm wrong in assuming that having the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice breathing down your neck, isn't fun, and I'm sure they can make your life a living hell. Whatever he did, he pissed off some important people.
The people assigned some of their sovereign powers to a new government in order to “insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty . . . “
Protection of our lives and property are the first purposes of government. When they refuse, it is time to start over.
Don't go and hold your breath!
