Arizona Sheriff Uses Anti-Smuggling Law to Target Illegal Immigrants

GILA BEND, Ariz. — One Arizona county sheriff has created a 250-strong posse to hunt down those who cross the border illegally.

"I'm the only agency enforcing this law because it is the law," Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio told FOX News. "It's a violation of the law, and I'm going to put tents up from here to Mexico if I have to to keep these illegals incarcerated."

But Arpaio's actions are already causing some controversy.

Arpaio, the sheriff for Arizona's most populous county, is taking advantage of a new state law that allows charging undocumented immigrants with criminal conspiracy to smuggle themselves into the United States. Previous laws had made entering the U.S. illegally a misdemeanor, not a felony. The anti-human-smuggling statute took effect in Arizona in August and gave prosecutors a tool to go after "coyotes," or smugglers, who traffic in undocumented immigrants.

The Maricopa County Attorney's Office later issued an opinion saying undocumented immigrants suspected of paying coyotes could be prosecuted as conspirators.

"It’s a felony; I am enforcing a new law," Arpaio said. "I’m the elected sheriff and I'm going to do what I feel is right regardless of the controversy."

Joe Arpaio is the same Sheriff who makes his prisoners wear pink underwear, sleep in fan cooled tents (sorry, no A.C. ), have pink bed sheets. Further more, the prisoners get no cable t.v., eat baloney sandwiches for lunch ( at a cost of 15 CENTS per meal ) and work on actual chain gangs. Maricopa County proudly boast of having the world's only female chain gang, as the ladies aren't spared any of the indignities that their male counterparts must endure.

The point of all this ? Being in his prison SUCKS, so don't break the law!

Thanks for posting this AU.

How sick and fucked up will we let things get in this country? We're using laws designed to go after human traffickers to prosecute their victims!?

This is even more insane when you consider that our screwed up immigration policies are what keep the 'coyotes' in business in the first place. Are we really that goddamned cruel? There are real people suffering because of all this.

No I call you a racist because you've made racists statements often enough to be called a racist.

The only people on this entire site who engage in baseless rhetoric and brain dead ignorance is you and PirateNews and I suspect most nearly everone else here agrees with that deduction.

Please stop replying to things about which YOU have no idea, in other words, just stop replying.

Okay, just one, too easy:
"It's Islam. Many will try to tell you that it's a radical faction, a tiny % of all real Muslims around the world, but their silence over such horrific acts is deafening."
I.e. all Muslims are violent terrorists or terrorist supporters. Let me guess, this isn't a racist (religosist which is the same thing, since I'm sure you're going to try to split hairs) comment because it really is Muslims that are the problem, right.
"Were they sorry for the deaths of Theo Van Gogh or the slaughter of over 186 school children in Beslan, Russia? Yeah, I'm sure they were."
(In reference to Muslims I've spoken to. AURaptor can't believe that they'd condemn terrorist acts because they're Muslim)

Also I'm far from the only one who has said this, a fact you conveniently forget, because otherwise you couldn't say it was only my problem.

Now it's time for you to apologise for calling me a liar, since I've just backed up what I've said, with not just the requested ONE comment but TWO.

Tiny Island ignorance, either back that up, or apologise.

Or you can kick and scream and bitch and moan and call me an ignorant git, which will go a long way to proving me right.

Let’s see if you've got the nuggets to "put up or shut up".

Nothing could be further from the truth.

However, one brave American, the legendary Sheriff Joseph Arpaio has decided to turn the LAW on the illegals problem.

Unlike the President , Sheriff Arpaio is doing his legal, constitutionally elected duty. Keeping his county free of illegals. It's called THE LAW, it's not 'being mean'. And there's not a damn thing W can do about Sheriff Arpaio either. He's been elected 4 times and going for his 5th 4 year term. The people of his county love what he's doing. Sheriff Arpaio is doing what the Fed Gov't WON'T do, and HASN'T done anything about, which is exactly WHY it's become such a mess. Has nothing to do w/ 'lazy Americans',unless it's lazy politicians too scared to do what's right. Do things right, the right way, as is being done in Maricopa Co., and you won't have to worry about being re-elected.

Hopefuls chided by party

By Mike Linn
Montgomery Advertiser


Alabama's Democratic Party is distancing itself from two Democratic candidates for state office who think all illegal immigrants must leave or be killed.

Party officials described the platforms of candidates Larry Darby and Harry Lyon as ridiculous, unconstitutional and offensive. Darby is running for attorney general, and Lyon is a gubernatorial candidate.

Both agree the influx of illegal immigration into Alabama must be stopped, either through public hangings or martial law.

The party didn't know the men's views before they qualified, said Jim Spearman, the party's executive director. Spearman learned of Lyon's views from the Montgomery Advertiser.

In a statement Friday, the party said Darby would remain on the ballot as a Democrat because there was no formal challenge against him within the timeframe set by its bylaws. Spearman declined to speculate about Lyon.

"His views ... were offensive to many people, across the board," Spearman said of Darby. "It's an embarrassment to the party."

Lyon said if elected, he would sponsor a law to get all illegal immigrants out of the state within 90 days, or be hanged in public.

"It would only take five or 10 getting killed and broadcast on CNN for it to send a clear message to not set foot in Alabama," said Lyon, a Pelham lawyer. "Anybody that breaks into my home is a threat to my life. I remember the Alamo."

"If he's willing to have public hangings of Mexicans, that sounds like he's the right man for the job," Darby said.

Darby said if elected he would ask the governor to institute martial law to stop the influx of illegal immigrants into Alabama. If illegal immigrants attempt to evade law enforcement, they "should be shot on sight," he said.

He said the number of Jews killed in World War II has been grossly exaggerated, and Jews must leave if the United States is to save itself.

"It would be good for Iran to blow Israel off the map," he said.
