Sheriff Joe Arpaio is once again taking the illegal alien matter into his own hands.
Sheriff Joe, I salute you!
Sheriff Won’t End Hot Line on Migrants
![]()
PHOENIX — The county sheriff said he won’t disconnect a hot line he created for people to report information about illegal immigrants that has been decried as promoting ethnic profiling.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio stressed Wednesday that deputies would investigate people only if authorities had probable cause.
The hot line began last Friday and has received about 300 messages, which include tips about family and friends, employment, day laborers, houses where smugglers drop illegal immigrants, and crank calls.
Some Latino advocacy groups will launch a hot line of their own to take tips from people who believe they’ve been unfairly reported to Arpaio’s hotline, said activist Mary Rose Wilcox, a Maricopa County supervisor.
Taking a cue from c.a.i.r. and select appeasing dems, I see… [roll eyes] Wondering if they will judge tipsters on “good faith” An undefinable term..
And the number is: 602-878-4154
Yet another brilliant move by Sheriff Joe! Shouldn’t each and every jail apply this? If a jail houses illegal aliens, why in God’s green earth should illegal aliens be permitted to visit their illegal aliens friends, family or fellow gang bangers? The only problem I have with this idea, is that they should not be given a second chance. First time an illegal alien even tries to pay a visit to anyone in a jail, they should be arrested on the spot.
Sheriff to Bar Illegals from Visiting County Jail Inmates
The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office is developing system designed to keep illegal immigrants from visiting county jail inmates.
Sheriff’s deputies would do background checks on every one who comes for a jail visit.
“We will be looking at some type of procedure where we identify illegals coming into the jail. They won’t be able to come in.”
When someone comes to the jail to visit an inmate, they’re required to show ID. Arpaio says the background check will be completed before their next jail visit.
Those who can’t prove citizenship would be denied a second visit and could be arrested.
As well he should.
DeleteTheBorders of course is against any such thing. And have began the whine fest. They do not believe in borders, they think that illegal aliens should be able to come and go as they please. I ask who in the hell do they think they are?
For instance check out this poster from “The Peoples Army” (Whose “peoples”?)
Click image to view larger original version at the radical “The Peoples Army” MySpace profile. Who of course has it bad for Noam Chomsky. Why am I not suprised? Heh
Notice the “Food Not Bombs” text on the right. Directly underneath is an image of a Molotov cocktail labeled “unity”, being thrown at the US border fence?! These militant anarchists need to realize once and for all, that this country is not a free for all!
This hotline seems to indicate that the trend is moving away from going after criminals of any type and being able to get the deported if they are illegal to just going after undocumented immigrants. Since sheriff joe seems to think asking for citizenship papers from people for littering or spitting on the sidewalk is okay, and now he’s unveiling this hotline idea. I mean, obviously the cops nor ICE can just deport everyone who is here illegally, and i know one of the main reasons is lack of person-power, but i guess i’m unclear as to whether it is a crime for a person who is undocumented to just be here, or work here, etc., as far as whether someone who did not commit any other crime could be reported as undocumented and then arrested and deported. Of course, this sort of happens in raids and such, but it doesn’t seem that law enforcement can easily justify such a thing. Afterall, ICE raids are portrayed mostly as going after specific people who are wanted for various crimes. Perhaps this is a step in the direction of grabbing people for no other reason than that someone is suspected of being undocumented.
Campaign to STOP and TEAR down the border Wall of Death
This is an invitation to you and your organization or movement to join the Campaign to STOP and TEAR down the Wall of Death on the US-Mexico border in particular to the Texas-Mexico borders.
1. Sign up to this important campaign (organization or individual)
2. Organize against the Wall of Death (actions, protests, marches, press conferences, etc.)
3. Demand a STOP to the Wall of Death (Governors, State Legislature, Municipal governments, Trade Unions, etc.)
You are invited to participate and organize for the Action Days on the 11-12-13 of October to STOP and TEAR down the Wall of Death on the US-Mexico borders.
The border communities between Texas and (Tamaulipas, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and Chihuahua) are absolutely opposed to the Bush and US government proposed construction of the Wall of Death between the US-Mexico borders.
First of all, it is not a “wall of death”. It is OUR border! Prospective illegal aliens may die trying to cross OUR border. But they are committing an ILLEGAL act, so they can only blame themselves. Typical leftist attitude, blame the law and not the criminal. Secondly… the opinions of those whom reside in Mexico are not valid! If that is indeed what they are implying.
The majority of the Mayors and municipal Presidents have declared themselves AGAINST the WALL of Death because it serves to DIVIDE both countries and both Peoples that should have a united and free border.
Where is their proof? And excuse the hell out of me, when do the voices of Mexican municipal Presidents count for anything OUTSIDE of their own jurisdiction???
The Border Social Forum in its Final Declaration called for organizing of a campaign against the Wall of Death and demands a STOP to all construction and to tear down what’s constructed already.
Who died and made them King, I ask?
The Continental Social Assembly in its meeting of May 2007 in Havana, Cuba adopted the calling for a Continental Campaign of Actions against the Wall of Death on the 11-12-13 of October, 2007
The VI Hemispheric Encounter against the FTA’s and for the Peoples’ Integration of the Americas took place in Havana, Cuba in May 2007 and the assembly adopted the resolution calling for actions against the Wall of Death in its final declaration.
Cuba? Hahahaha….
o Yes, we want to organize to put a STOP and TEAR down the Wall of Death between Mexico and US border
o Here is the Name of the organization, contact information, of the organization or individual.

Note: [Foro Social Fronterizo: We denounce the militarization of the US-Mexico border as an authoritarian and racist act that criminalizes migrants and forces them to risk their lives to enter the US, and which provokes divisions and violence between US citizens and immigrants. We denounce the mistreatment of Central Americans in Mexico.]

@ No Borders Camp NO BORDERS CAMP NOVEMBER 2007 CALEXICO/MEXICALI, TURTLE ISLAND
As long as the US/Mexico border has existed, people having been struggling against it. The border itself is a colonial war monument and it continues to be the site of a not-so-low intensity war. It is a boundary marking an internal space of fear, control and domination over people, while simultaneously allowing for the unrestricted movement of capital and wealth. This border regime–like the border regimes in Mexico, Israel, Spain and more–is a system of apartheid.
Blood boiling B.S.!
I have got news for them!

Don’t worry about the Border. The illegals can bypass the Southwest and go to New Haven CT.

Yep D.Ox
I have been a fan of Sheriff Joe every since I first heard of him. Guts and patriotism!
His bare bones approach to jails is brilliant!
Why should detainees feel as if they are at the Marriott?

You’ve gotta love that Sheriff Joe!
Velvet — you’ve been working so hard. This is a great post and I’m looking forward to reading the others I’ve missed. Keep up the great work.

Hi Tammi
Good to see you.
Thank you. He is one helluva man.

It is always good to hear what Sheriff Joe is up to. I got attached to him during my college years in Maricopa Cty.
What is really neat about him is that in spite of all the critics and naysayers from around the country he still gets overwhelmingly popularly reelected every four years. It would be good if there were more of his type.

Hi Scott
Welcome.
Naysayers and critics, or not. He must remain a popular figure in his neck of the woods.
We do need more like him. The man has got grit!

I heard this Ibriham Hooper from C.A.I.R. state that this John Doe loophole will still allow them to sue the informers so they can get them into court to question them to see if their intentions were in good faith or not. Sounds like more attempts to “chill” good citizenship when you know what your own boys are up to…….steve

The parable of the two wolves: One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, “My son, the battle is between two “wolves” inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith (”faith in me and you”). The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf wins?” The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

That is a lovely parable.
But…I am angry because there are millions of people breaking into my home.
