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.
