Illegals ask sheriff’s office for ride home to Mexico
By Michelle Malkin • April 25, 2008
I’m sure the ACLU will be filing a protest against the law enforcement officers ASAP. They can’t let this stand! It’s not part of the plan.

Illegals Ask Sheriff’s Office For A Ride Home to Mexico
(Phoenix, AZ) In a strange turn of events, four illegal aliens seeking but not finding employment in Maricopa County, approached a Sheriff’s deputy and asked to be returned
home to Mexico. The illegals admitted to the deputy that had recently entered the U.S. illegally and were in the Aguila area, west of Phoenix, seeking work.
A Human Smuggling unit detective trained in immigration matters was called to the scene and processed the four men. Customs officials then took them back to Mexico.
The Aguila area has seen a flurry of law enforcement assistance by the Sheriff’s Office recently. Deputies have been asked by residents there to have a stronger presence in the community because of the problems related to illegal
immigration there.

And I have relatives that wonder why in the world I like living in Arizona …
Sorry folks … Sheriff Joe is ours and you can’t have him …
You’ll have to find your own version …
Now … if only Congress would get a clue and shutdown the job magnet and welfare benefits nationwide …
Oh well … I can dream …

That’s just one more bit of evidence that the new AZ laws on illegal immigration are actually working. I wish Juan McAmnesty would see that yes people will self-deport if the economic incentive is taken away.

Hey, whatever it takes. If giving them a ride back is part of it, I’ll take it. Better than having them stay here illegally and sponge off our taxpayer provided services for free, commit crimes, etc.
Squeeze those who knowingly employ people who entered our Great Country illegally, the illegal alien problem evaporates before your eyes.

What surprises me more is why they just didn’t ask for a ride to CA. We welcome them here with open arms.

DesertLover, as a Tempe resident, I couldn’t agree with you more.
Sherrif Joe proves that AZ is still “Country for Old Men”, kicking butt old school. And the effects of the the recent laws in AZ regarding employment enforcement and economic benefits, along with the police decision to check citizenship of everyone they stop, has made this wonderful state even better.

I wish Sheriff Joe could be the head of Homeland Security, or at least ICE.
Amen. Sheriff Joe makes living in Phoenix semi-sane. And when he rankles the liberals here in town like the mayor it only makes me smile more.

Hahaha!!! This reads like an Onion story. How much more proof do people need to understand that enforcing the laws already on the books works?

I wish more elected representatives were like Joe Arpaio.
I am referred to as “The Toughest Sheriff in America.” That’s fine but I like to think of myself and my employees as some of the most forward thinking law enforcement professionals in the industry. We do a lot of good things here in Maricopa County and many of them are cutting edge. And while I do enjoy a high approval rating by the citizens who reside here, being free to think and act “outside of the box” which being elected allows me to do, can sometimes draw criticism. That’s ok. After 15 years as Sheriff and with several more years ahead of me (I hope), I would rather be criticized for doing what I think is right for this community than playing politics simply by playing it safe.
They need to quit “playing it safe” and start doing what they are elected to do - represent the people by whom they are elected.

I wonder if we can get some of our elected parasites to ask for rides home? The more we depopulate DC the better we’ll all be.

Yes, Sheriff Joe for POTUS. How many of us on this list would be glad to provide rides back to Mexico for all illegal aliens even at the price of gas these days???

I guess he might “secure the borders” afterall. There I was doubting him.

I don’t think so. Now if they asked for a ride to Walmart…
. . . or to church.
…or how they go about registering to vote as something other than Democrat?

Good for Sheriff Joe, the toughest sheriff in America, and good for Arizona. Unfortunately many of the illegals are heading north instead of south. Ranchers and farmers in Idaho and other northern states who hire illegals for profit have the local governments in their pockets including law enforcement. I wonder if the spineless Idaho sheriffs and police chiefs have twinges of guilt and feelings of inadequacy when they hear or read about Sheriff Joe Arpaio? One can only hope.

Sorry, but Sheriff Joe is an obnoxious publicity whore.
For Sheriff Joe, getting out the press releases is more important effective law enforcement.
I’d bet that each of his “press releases” has more impact on turning away invaders contemplating coming to AZ than any actual raids he conducts.

You see, McCain and Shamnesty Buddies, border enforcement and strong immigration policies DO WORK!
Too bad we can’t kick out illegal enablers just as easily.

Well, America’s Sheriff may enjoy a little publicity from time to time, but he gets the job done…Tent city, pink underwear, peanut butter sandwiches, are all common sense answers which are in the County’s best interest…and the taxpayer’s….In spite of the County’s democrat politics, the Sheriff prevails, mostly because of publicity…The publicity alerts people to his actions, with which most people agree…So, slp, you are in the minority also….Can I offer you a ride??

Could we at least come to some kind of custodial arrangement regarding Sheriff Joe? We could sure use him here in Hampton Roads, VA. /sniff sniff
3 Months?
6 Months?
I’m not picky.

a number of other law enforcement groups from around the country have put together programs based on some of Sheriff Joe’s … so I guess he has done some consulting with a few folks out there …
but he’s a keeper in the eyes of the majority of us here …

We LOVE Sheriff Joe here! He is constantly sued and yet he stands strong against all those special interests. If only more had the guts he does.

Ah, the silver lining to our temporary economic downturn! If only those in office would get active and build the fence during this window of opportunity, then when the economy picks back up - and it will shortly - the illegal immigration will be already in check.

Hey, I’m willing to rent a bus and take a whole load of them back!! They don’t need to ask ME twice! Now how do we clone Sheriff Arpaio to replace the craven alleged-law-enforcement types we are saddled with in Virginia?

Yesterday’s opinion by Ruben Naverrette Jr in the SF Chronicle points out that Janet Murguia of the National Council of La Raza deems immigration the next big Civil Rights issue of the 21st Century. You cross our border illegally, steal identities, and collect money that doesn’t belong or not due to you and these are Civil Rights issues? Makes about as much sense as Gavin Newsome’s Sanctuary City initiative.

Plenty of legal employees for all those jobs … they just refuse to work for the sub-par wages that the illegals work for …

Awesome.
Like a lot of anti-illegal alien people have pointed out before, if we stop catering to them they will all self-deport. As long as we continue to provide work, money, charity, spanish-language services, free healthcare, and education for them to grab they will continue grabbing it.
They need to self-deport, go back to Mexico and start a revolution. Many of them are hard-working and do want a better life, so they should demand that Calderon and his flunkies provide it for them. |
