This makes me furious! Why are people so willing to sell out their own country? If you dare say anything about illegal immigration, your can be sure that you'll be shut up quickly by being labeled as racist. How did this insanity take hold and spread so quickly?

Perhaps the hispanic-only surnames of the current list of wanted murder and rape suspects in SB County has something to do with this sheriff's reluctance to accept the Matricular ID's!

More background on Sheriff Penrod:

Excerpt from Sierra Times response to AP article on Sheriff's who are "anti-government"

. . . California ranchers in San Bernardino County, chafing at cattle grazing restrictions imposed to 'protect' the threatened desert tortoise, were supported recently by Sheriff Gary Penrod who canceled an agreement that gave Bureau of Land Management officers authority to enforce state laws on federal land.

How dare that Sheriff? After a federal judge ruled in the ranchers favor, the BLM tried to confiscate cattle anyway. This must mean that a Sheriff exercising his authority within his own jurisdiction is antigovernment as well.

Nice going, Sheriff Penrod, and nice role modeling for other Sheriffs as well.

Councilman Bob Hunter said his vote was to support the general concept of the cards, not this particular program.

And there you have it folks - in one tidy, short sentence - the fundamental problem with our leaders.

Honoring Mexican ID as a form if legal immigration card seems to me to be treason. It seems to be establishing the Mexican government as an authority on American soil.

DEPORT ILLEGALS...

The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department will not recognize Mexican-issued identification cards, despite Victorville City Council's unanimous endorsement of the cards earlier this week, officials said Thursday.

Was it not reported some time back that the Feds lost to a Sheriff who would not let them conduct investigation in his County and the Courts held that he was right? The Feds had to ask his permission and keep him informed as he was the Law in the county. Was not that case outcome posted on FR? If some one can find it in the FR archives please send it to the Sheriff who is doing what is right? That may help him tell the City to get lost or maybe enable him to bring charges against the City Council for aiding in a crime with all that go along with a charge like that.

Thanks for posting this news of a good sheriff. I wish the people of Cochise County had someone like him.

"Rudy Cabriales", wonder if his parents would hold up to close inspection of their citizenship.
