Arpaio and immigration
Apr. 5, 2008 07:18 PM
Arpaio and immigration
March 2006: Deputies make first arrests under controversial interpretation of state human-smuggling law.
July 14, 2006: Hundreds protest Sheriff Joe Arpaio's efforts to arrest illegal immigrants and charge them under state law.
Jan. 2007: Arpaio announces agreement with Department of Homeland Security giving deputies broad powers to enforce immigration laws. Alonzo Pena of Immigration and Customs Enforcement says agreement should be used to go after violent criminals.
Sept. 27: Deputies arrest nine people near a Cave Creek church that serves as a gathering place for day laborers.
October: Off-duty deputies are hired by M.D. Pruitt's Home Furnishings to patrol the area for day laborers. Advocates for the laborers begin picketing in protest, which in turn draws counterprotesters. A tense standoff follows.
Dec. 16: Arpaio reports arresting 29 people in a crackdown in the Aguila area. Of those, 26 are illegal, he says.
Jan. 1: With protesters still picketing Pruitt's, anti-illegal immigration counterprotesters move to the Macehualli Work Center. The work center is run by Salvador Reza, who organized the Pruitt's protests.
Jan. 5: Protesters at Pruitt's agree to leave. Arpaio orders deputies to continue patrolling the area around 34th Street and Thomas Road.
Jan. 18: Arpaio's posse patrols 16th to 40th streets between Indian School and McDowell roads, saying he had been contacted by business owners there. Four days later, he reports arresting 25 people, five of whom were said to be illegal immigrants.
March 21: Arpaio moves to 32nd Street and Thomas Road, saying unspecified business owners had written to him asking for help addressing crimes caused by illegal immigrants and day laborers. The sheriff reports arresting 55 people in 10 hours, two-thirds of whom are said to be illegal immigrants.
March 27: Arpaio "migrates north" to Bell Road and 25th Street, according to a news from his office. He says the community surrounding the Macehualli Work Center was "crying out" for him to come, although businesses in the area have a mixed reaction to his presence.
March 28: Arpaio's "migrating north" remark prompts Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon to denounce the sheriff's actions as racial profiling.
March 29: Arpaio announces the end of his Bell Road operation, having arrested 53 people. Just over half were in the country illegally, he said.
Thursday: Arpaio takes his posse into Guadalupe, saying he had been invited by several town leaders. Mayor Rebecca Jimenez says that Arpaio came under "false pretenses" and that Guadalupe does not support his tactics.
( I do not agree with Sheriff Joes outlook mostly; however on illegals I see eye to eye with him and his tactics. What ever it takes to deport the entire lot of them!)

S.C. bill may block college for illegal immigrants
By Robert Morris - rmorris@thesunnews.com
For participants in the state's immigration reform effort, the upcoming ban on illegal immigrants in public colleges is a logical step.
It makes no sense, they say, for South Carolina to educate people who cannot legally work here. It merely encourages them to stay.
(Isn't it amazing that it took this long for these sorts of common sense solutions? )

San Francisco Advertises For Illegal Immigrants
The city of San Francisco has started an advertising push with a very specific target market: illegal immigrants. And while the advertisements will come in a bundle of languages — English, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Vietnamese — they all carry the same message: you are safe here.
(The only upside is that it will make rounding them up easier!)'

MEXICO
U.S. may issue travel alert, warn of more violence
MEXICO CITY — The U.S. ambassador to Mexico said the United States is considering issuing a heightened travel alert in the coming days. "While there is little doubt in my mind that the travel alert should be reissued, it may also be necessary to heighten the alert to better reflect the increasing insecurity in the state of Chihuahua," U.S. Ambassador Tony Garza said. An alert issued last year by the State Department warns Americans about travel in areas of Mexico where foreigners have been targeted. The alert is due to expire April 15. Mexico has suffered a wave of organized crime and drug-related violence that killed more than 2,500 people last year.

Arizona Businesses Catering To Migrant Communities Hit Hard By Anti-Illegal Immigration State Campaign
April 5, 2008 8:03 a.m. EST
Vittorio Hernandez - AHN News Writer
Phoenix, AZ (AHN) - Because of its geographic location as a favorite jump-off point for illegal migrants, Arizona has enacted tough anti-illegal immigrants laws, making it now one of the most difficult places for illegal entries. But the campaign is taking its toll on business that caters to the migrant community, slowing down an already sluggish state economy.
(I will cast the first stone: You broke the law, and when I do that I go to jail, so be happy that you are not in a cell with bubba!"

Sheriff's Guadalupe sweep ends with 47 arrests
132 comments by Beth Duckett - Apr. 5, 2008 08:05 PM
The Arizona Republic
Amid accusations of racial profiling, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office ended a controversial crime sweep in Guadalupe Friday with 47 arrests, including nine involving illegal immigrants.
The two-day operation also netted 18 fugitives with warrant charges ranging from drug possession to domestic violence, according to the Sheriff's Office. Nearly 30 warrants belonging to several Valley law enforcement agencies were cleared.
The sweep ensued despite hundreds of protestors and resistance from Guadalupe Mayor Rebecca Jimenez. Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon and critics have accused the Sheriff's Office of racial profiling, enticing the possibility of lawsuits against the Sheriff's Office.
"Gordon and Jimenez's pro-illegal alien comments, and actions to prevent this sheriff from enforcing state and federal immigration laws within their cities, will not deter me from enforcing the law in our community," Sheriff Joe Arpaio said.
More than 150 suspects, including 73 illegal immigrants, have been arrested in Arpaio's nationally-known crime suppression efforts in Phoenix and Guadalupe this year.
Mesa could be next on the list, Arpaio said.
On Thursday, state legislators from Mesa, Chandler and Gilbert sent Arpaio a letter Thursday asking him to bump up enforcement in the Southeast Valley.
(Demand that your local Authorities take simalar action while there is still time and a chance to deport these unwelcome guest peacefully. )

Vodka maker sorry for showing Texas as part Mexico
Many are calling for a boycott of Absolut
By MARK STEVENSON
MEXICO CITY — The Absolut vodka company apologized Saturday for an ad campaign depicting the southwestern U.S. as part of Mexico amid angry calls for a boycott by U.S. consumers.
The campaign, which promotes ideal scenarios under the slogan "In an Absolut World," showed a 1830s-era map when Mexico included California, Texas and other southwestern states. Mexico still resents losing that territory in the 1848 Mexican-American War and the fight for Texas independence.
(And I say that it is time for a total boycott of Absolute Vodka in America.)

ELOIS ZEANAH: Immigration laws must be enforced
I want to respond to the March 31 editorial 'Legislators should rethink reforming immigration laws,' which concludes that the Alabama Legislature should address more pressing issues than illegal immigration. In a time of budget crisis when Alabama families are having to do with less to give more to illegal immigrants, when innocent victims like Tuscaloosa's 20-year-old Holly Rogers are killed by illegal drivers, when prisons are overcrowded and schools suffer because of funding shortages (both exacerbated by illegal immigration), and while illegal immigration grows every year, there is no more pressing issue.
Support of illegal immigration suggests that it's OK to disobey the law when one disagrees with it; for illegal aliens to steal Social Security numbers; for employers to commit tax fraud and undercut businesses that follow the law; for illegal households to take public benefits from needy Alabama citizens; and for immigrants to forego health screening and put Alabama citizens at risk. To hold this belief shows disrespect for the law, a lack of compassion for those whose lives are harmed by illegal immigration; and a lack of understanding of the consequences to state programs and budgets.
One of the most pressing issues for the Alabama Legislature is the budget crisis. A total of $600 million must be cut from the 2009 state budget. One of the simplest ways to cut spending is to cut the growth of state benefits for illegal immigration. For example:
Education:
The Legislature proposes cutting $400 million from education. State testimony reflects that taxpayers pay about $200 million every year to educate children of illegal immigrants. While we must educate children of illegal aliens already in Alabama, the Legislature must curb the growth of illegal immigration or consequences will be even more severe.
Medicaid:
$150 million more is needed this year to sustain last year's services. Illegal immigrants with babies born in the U.S. are heavy users of Medicaid programs.
Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Health funds:
This fund will run dry in the near future at the current growth rate according to the state health officer. He admits that illegal immigration is taking a toll on WIC funds.
Homeless:
The Tuscaloosa News reported that Alabama has 5,391 homeless on an average night. 64 percent are black, 1,077 of the homeless are families with dependent children and 974 are veterans. The more money Alabama spends on illegal households, the less money Alabama can spend to support our homeless, poor households, and other urgent needs of legal residents.
Public Safety and other programs and services are impacted as well by illegal immigration. If legislators remain 'soft on crime' and do not join neighboring cities of Georgia and Mississippi, which recently passed new laws, Alabama will become more of a magnet for illegal aliens. It is proven that illegal immigrants leave states that pass tough laws and migrate to states that don't.
The Legislature has two weeks to act. An Alabama work ID for non-citizens (SB426) is one of the bills that must pass if the Legislature is serious about protecting communities, schools, families, public safety and budgets from mounting impacts of illegal immigration. If the Legislature fails for the third straight year to fix the problem, it will once again favor businesses, which flaunt the law and profit from illegal labor to the detriment of citizens and taxpayers.
