The sheriff has said he expects the deal not to be extended, though federal officials have remained publicly noncommittal.<br />Deputies, and Sheriff Arpaio, will stake out an intersection somewhere in the Phoenix metro area to stop cars for traffic violations - everything from speeding to broken taillights to driving while intoxicated. Both drivers and passengers will be held if deputies determine that they are illegal immigrants - regardless of how minor was the initial infraction.<br />Sheriff Arpaio is charging ahead because he claims he has jurisdiction under a 1996 federal law allowing police to detain someone briefly if that person could be in the country illegally.<br />"We will call Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE] to see if they will take them from us," Sheriff Arpaio told The Washington Times. "And if they tell me to let them go, I guess I’ll have to transport them myself to the border [about 175 miles] and turn them over to the Border Patrol."<br /><br />MORE at: http://www.the-two-malcontents.com/2009/10/14/sheriff-joe-arpaio-vows-to-face-off-with-corrupt-feds-over-illegal-aliens/zeezilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807811591365315096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628953912605985656.post-33332433683185193462009-10-13T19:00:30.840-04:002009-10-13T19:00:30.840-04:00Obama Administration Racially Profiles Joe Arpaio
...Obama Administration Racially Profiles Joe Arpaio<br /><br />- PART 2<br /><br />Almost all of these illegal aliens were arrested for more than 1 offense. Slightly more than half of the 55,322 illegal aliens had between 2 and 10 offenses. About 45 percent of all offenses were drug or immigration offenses. About 15 percent were property-related offenses such as burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and property damage. About 12 percent were for violent offenses such as murder, robbery, assault, and sex-related crimes. The balance was for such other offenses as traffic violations, including driving under the influence; fraud — including forgery and counterfeiting; weapons violations; and obstruction of justice.<br /><br />Eighty percent of all arrests occurred in three states — California, Texas, and Arizona. Specifically, about 58 percent of all arrests occurred in California, 14 percent in Texas, and 8 percent in Arizona. In addition, the FBI estimates that there are upwards of 50,000 illegal aliens who are members of crime gangs such as MS-13, the Mexican Mafia and the Latin Kings.<br /><br />“If the US Attorney General and his boss President Obama are concerned with investigating criminal activity, perhaps they should focus on criminal aliens and gangs rather than persecuting an effective law enforcement commander such as Joe Arpaio,” said former NYPD detective and Marine Sid Frances.zeezilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807811591365315096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628953912605985656.post-61359729647140095552009-10-13T18:59:04.918-04:002009-10-13T18:59:04.918-04:00Obama Administration Racially Profiles Joe Arpaio
...Obama Administration Racially Profiles Joe Arpaio<br /><br />- PART 1<br /><br />Arpaio is white, and whites in law enforcement are, you know, racist.<br /><br />http://oneoldvet.com/?p=7142#more-7142<br />By Jim Kouri<br /><br />The Obama administration has stripped Maricopa County, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio — also known as “America’s Sheriff” by many admirers who hail him as a hero – of his federal authority to arrest suspected illegal immigrants based solely on their immigration status. The federal authorities under President Barack Obama wish to do away with local cops enforcing our nation’s immigration laws.<br /><br />Arpaio’s deputies attended the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Center in order to be trained for immigration enforcement as part of their regular law enforcement and jail management duties. In addition to the DHS attempting to curtail Sheriff Arpaio’s immigration enforcement activities — he states he will not stop arresting illegal aliens — Obama’s Attorney General, Eric Holder, is threatening to investigate Sheriff Arpaio and his department.<br /><br />Sadly, at the same time the Department of Homeland Security estimates that the total unauthorized immigrant population residing in the United States is 10 million. Their total includes those who entered the United States illegally and those who entered legally but overstayed their authorized period of stay. Critics dispute the federal statistics, saying that the number of illegal aliens is closer to 20 million.<br /><br /><br />Another recent study by the GAO estimates that there are about 15 million illegal aliens living in the United States. The study estimates that nearly 700,000 aliens enter the United States illegally or overstay their authorized period of stay each year.<br /><br />Some illegal aliens in the United States have been arrested and incarcerated in federal and state prisons as well as local jails, adding to already dangerously overcrowded prisons and jails, the Government Accountability Office reported to the US Congress’ Homeland Security Subcommittee on criminal aliens that were incarcerated in federal and state prisons and local jails.<br /><br />Their report contained information on the number of criminal aliens incarcerated, their country of citizenship or country of birth, and the cost to incarcerate them. Congress also requested that the GAO provide information on the criminal history of aliens incarcerated in federal and state prisons or local jails who had entered the country illegally.<br /><br />For a population of aliens that entered the country illegally and were incarcerated in federal or state prisons or local jails, the GAO report addressed the following questions: How many times have they been arrested? How many and what type of criminal offenses have they been arrested for? What states were they arrested in?<br /><br />In the GAO study of a population sample of 55,322 illegal aliens, analysts found that they were arrested a total of 459,614 times, averaging about 8 arrests per illegal alien.<br /><br />Nearly all of the illegal aliens in the study sample had more than 1 arrest. Thirty-eight percent (about 21,000) had between 2 and 5 arrests, 32 percent (about 18,000) had between 6 and 10 arrests, and 26 percent (about 15,000) had 11 or more arrests. They were arrested for a total of about 700,000 criminal offenses, averaging about 13 offenses per illegal alien.<br /><br />One arrest incident may include multiple offenses, a fact that explains why there are nearly one-and-a-half times more offenses than arrests.zeezilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807811591365315096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628953912605985656.post-4963415899275403732009-10-13T14:58:04.600-04:002009-10-13T14:58:04.600-04:00From the Brown Shirts of Hitler to the Minutemen P...<b>From the Brown Shirts of Hitler to the Minutemen Paramilitaries of Today's America and their project of substituting the Government</b><br /><br />The Brown Shirts of Hitler : The SA Sturm Abteilung or "Attack Department" were probably within the law ( when Hitler was chancellor of the Reich ) ... That doesn't make them moral.<br /><br />There were many nice guys inside the SA or inside the Hitler Youth.<br /><br />Many people flocked to the SA because they were unemployed, they were alone without friends and wanted to be in an organization. Many just wanted a meal.<br /><br />Many of them should have been nice guys to start..... Good sons and grandson, good brothers....<br /><br />But that does not earn my appreciation for those paramilitaries of Hitler. They become a Force of Evil, Sadism, Racism, Cruelty, Brutality, Murder, etc ...<br /><br /><b>The Minutemen :</b><br /><br />Many people may be for many simple reasons inside the Minutemen, they are lonely, or they just believe the Propaganda that they are Heroes of the American Revolution, Great Paul Reveres....<br /><br />Many Minutemen are just extremely simple minds or fools believing that they are the top echelon of evolution, and forgetting that they are losers and failed lives, cans of inferiority complexes and dysfunctional family remains.<br /><br />Many just want an adventure ....<br /><br />But the Truth is that the organization operates inside a framework of Racism, Sadism, Cruelty and Brutality.<br /><br />And you can see that in their papers, propaganda, announcements, advertising, actions, etc...<br /><br />Wolves in Sheep skins do not persuade the people that are thinking and reflecting on this madness of this cult for Weapons and Racism.<br /><br />You see the Minutemen already killed a nine year old girl Brisenia Flores and her Father Raul during an invasion of their home, they are not statistics, they were human beings with a beautiful family of love, Brisenia was loved by all her classmates in Elementary School and strongly loved her parents. A few other murders have been already strongly proved to the Minutemen Authors and there are many other murders in which the Minutemen are good suspects.<br /><br />Let the Government do the work that corresponds....

Sheriff’s Office has operated under for the past two years.<br /> <br />“We’ve been doing it for two years and have been very successful, but I guess they don’t like to enforce illegal immigration laws,” Arpaio told CNSNews.com. “[It] doesn’t make any difference. I’m still going to continue my programs, regardless of what the feds like or don’t like.”<br /> <br />Under that agreement, authorized in the 287(g) section of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, more than 100 officers and deputies with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office were trained and certified by ICE to enforce federal immigration laws in 2007.<br /> <br />Arpaio claims that ICE is renewing the part of the agreement that allows his personnel to check the immigration status of those booked into the county jail, but will not renew the portion that authorizes officers to make arrests based on immigration status.<br /> <br />“When we come across illegal aliens, we arrest them,” Arpaio said. “That’s the part they don’t like, and that’s the one they took away.”…. <br /><br />….Kris Kobach, former counsel to U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft and a professor of law at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law, told CNSNews.com that there is a federal statute that addresses immigration law and local law enforcement.<br /> <br />“Federal law does expressly authorize state and local police to make immigration arrests of previously deported felons who return to the United States and are in the country unlawfully,” Kobach said. <br /> <br />“That federal statute is found at 8 U.S.C. 1252c. In addition, as the U.S. Department of Justice officially recognized in 2002, state and local police possess the inherent authority to arrest illegal aliens and detain them briefly in order to transfer them to federal custody,” Kobach added. <br /> <br />“Those are two forms of arrest authority that Sheriff Arpaio possesses, apart from Section 287(g) authority,” Kobach said.<br /> <br />Arpaio said that the law usually isn’t enforced, but he would like to change that.<br /> <br />“You know what?” Arpaio said. “I’m going to start enforcing that law.”<br /><br />MORE at: http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/55199zeezilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807811591365315096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628953912605985656.post-89970089097984404972009-10-08T16:16:05.394-04:002009-10-08T16:16:05.394-04:00This Sheriff doesn't pander for campaign contr...This Sheriff doesn't pander for campaign contributions from the business communities, globalists or Internationalists? So because he doesn't comply with their demands, as they do, they desire him out of office? He is an ongoing danger and worst nightmare to the corporate agenda for illegal discount workers. Now he has a free hand to arrest and not no longer restrained by 287 G federal law, but can use the powers of state laws detain illegal aliens and the criminal elements amongst them. We need more Joe's tent cities and his inmate cuisine of bologna sandwiches, since being subjected to this type of incarceration will deter the most ardent inmate? Nationwide we need more inflexible officers of the law, who will not prostrate to the open border lunatics? Not the soft clean hands of manipulated cops who don't make waves, as they are contemplating looking towards an easy road to retirement. SEEING THAT OUR OWN ELECTED GOVERNMENT, REFUSES TO ENFORCE THE 1986 LAWS (IRCA), THERE OATHS TO PROTECT US FROM OUR ENEMIES FOREIGN & DOMESTIC. THEN COURAGEOUS POLICE OFFICERS MUST CARRY OUT DUTIES OF WHICH AMERICAN'S VOTED FOR?<br /><br />However the corrupt lawmakers around the nation, have not been able to undermine E-Verify? AS YET? YES! Legal Immigration matters? We should announce to the world that newcomers are welcome, if they come through the front door? We only need those immigrants with specialized skills, such as computer engineers, scientists, doctors and those with highly recommended credentials as developed nations? America has a sovereign right who we choose to settle here? What we don't need is pregnant women slipping across our border, for instant citizenship of their child or destitute illegal aliens whose cannot exist without taxpayer welfare, chain family migration? We don't need in these country illegal recipients who need free health care, education when we already ignore our own people who live in poverty? We need to enforce the 1986 immigration reform law (IRCA), not cripple it for the sake of parasite businesses that live of the slavery of millions of foreign national workers. Seeing that the business world are screaming for more Guest Workers, they should take on the responsibility of paying for their health care and education, instead of dropping sick illegal labor of at the emergency room. to, leave the hospital bill for taxpayers. Instead of expecting the American people to pay for the enormous burden, they should pay separate expenditures for every illegal foreign national and their families.<br /><br />We need to execute now, a complete war immigration chest containing mandated E-Verify for every worker--NOT REPRESSED--, or 287 G, local police arrest of foreign workers, the Rep.Duncan Hunter original national fence, instead of chopping it down to single line. We need enforcement of our laws, with harsh penalties for violating them. We need politicians we can trust, instead of those elected such as Sen.Reid, Speaker Pelosi, Feinstein and a whole list, who can be graded as Anti-American worker, anti-sovereignty, pro-illegal immigration and compromising the Rule of Law.

The majority of all prisoners are kept in tent city, thats what he is famous for doing. His rational is that our troops live in tents and if its good enough for them, its good enough for criminals. I agree. Illegal or not, we need to stop treating criminals like we owe them something. These prisons with TV, Gyms, Libraries, cafaterias, all the luxuries of home. Why would you ever want to leave, oh thats right, isn't it like 80% who will return. Almost like a 3 star hotel, not the greatest, but the rates are good,FREE.

I love the fact he has the gonads to actually enforce all the current laws on the books unlike many other so-called law enforcement people who cow to special interests. If you don't like the fact that he truly follows the law, start spending your energy pressuring the lawmakers to change the law to your liking. Then Sheriff Joe will either quit or just do his' job and enforce the new laws.DCPapahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11845993370586443058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628953912605985656.post-69004423129361522012009-10-07T19:55:48.545-04:002009-10-07T19:55:48.545-04:00The well-respected Washington publication Congress...The well-respected Washington publication CongressDaily is reporting that the conference committee charged with reconciling the Homeland Security spending bill has approved a reauthorization of E-Verify for three years.<br /><br />Without a reauthorization, E-Verify was set to expire last month. Congress did include a temporary extension in a continuing resolution bill while the FY2010 Homeland Security spending bill awaits reconciliation. The original amendment that was passed by the Senate would have permanently reauthorized E-Verify.<br /><br />There were three other immigration-related amendments passed by the Senate. One would have ensured the completion of 700 miles of fencing along the Southern border, but that amendment was stripped before the bill even went to committee. There is still no word on two other amendments that would allow federal contractors to use E-Verify to check the employment eligibility of exisitng employees and an amendment that would restart the No-Match program. DHS rescinded the No-Match program, which sends letters to companies that submit information to the IRS with a discrepancy between the employee's name and social security number.<br /><br />Once fully reconciled by the conference committee, the bill will have to be passed by both chambers of Congress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628953912605985656.post-57112980527687633982009-10-07T19:47:54.985-04:002009-10-07T19:47:54.985-04:00Has Franco ever posted anything that is in favor o...Has Franco ever posted anything that is in favor of the "rule of law"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628953912605985656.post-47974582174869212822009-10-07T19:40:59.410-04:002009-10-07T19:40:59.410-04:00btw franco, this land is not "your land"...btw franco, this land is not "your land" ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
