You know I have no respect for a man that feeds his inmates twice a day and leaves women in sweatboxes out side in the Arizona sun TO DIE!

Sheriff Joe is a public menace and an enemy of the Constitution. THATS RIGHT SHERIFF JOE DOES NO BELIEVE IN THE CONSTITUTION!

If he did he would not set up road blocks of any kind seeing as how they violate my freedom of movement....

He would not punish with excessive cruelty that results in peoples death.

Sheriff Joe has a lot to answer for when he gets denied entrance at the pearly gates.

Actually 90% of illegals in this country have committed a fellony. Using a fake ID or using someone elses SS number is a federal felony. Most illegals get fake ID and give someone else SS# as a way of getting a job. Hence they are guilty of more than one crime.

Look at the number of violent crimes committed by the illegals; abductions, drug smuggling, rape. The last study I read proved they were 30 times more likely to commit a violent crime than a citizen.

Yes racial profilling is the non-pc way of doing it but sometimes we need to start protecting our borders. Ask the American Indians what happens when you don't regulate immigration.

i think that if you cant speak english then you should be sent back wherever you came from, but thats me.

i understand that we have no official language, but still, thats my opinion.

profiling is bad, but how do you arrest illegal latinos, without questioning latinos?

seems pretty silly to need to question white and blacks who are obviously from here to make it "fair" to arrest latinos here illegally. but i guess thats just common sense.

i have no problem with latinos at all. i have plenty of friends. guess what, they arent criminals for being here either. theres a process. i dont expect to be able to just walk into mexico and not show any papers or anything, and if i did, i would probably end up in prison there. its to be expected.

why do so many people have a problem with arresting criminals.

and yes if you broke the law to be here, what says you wont break more laws.

just think for a minute alllll the laws that are probably broken JUST to be here illegally.

forgery of federal documents
not paying taxes (which reminds me, the 15th is coming up quick)
working without proper documentation
driving without a license (or the ability to read our signs)

now we have 5 laws broken, all federal (not sure if driving without a license is, dont think it is, but anyways, you get the point).

now how can you rightly justify that these people have rights to be here, and not be harassed.

if someone broke into your house, and stole your money and belongings, wouldnt you want them punished?

tell me what the difference is, if you even can.

ooo right, the debate isnt over that....

its about some redneck cop profiling people right? how do you arrest illegals without arresting people who look like illegals.

do you who support this even think about it?

and dont give me the crap about how they are people too, they are criminals first. trust me, being a criminal isnt fun, even when its something simple like having weed on you or speeding. why shouldnt they get to enjoy that feeling like so many americans already do?

this guy is acting like Judge Dredd and people are supporting him

amazing!

btw, many posters seem to have a reading disability

nobody is arguing not to arrest illegal immigrants

people are just arguing that this dumb sherrif should treat people as human beings, not racially profile and stop harrasing people.

only a narrow-minded view could advocate his actions
a narrow-view thinking that one day the same won't happen to them

great
history repeats itself
over and over and over and over and over again all because of a lack of education

Simply put, the Sheriff is the highest law enforcement official in the US, as determined by a federal judge, and he has the power to tell the feds to ____ ___.

So Sheriff Joe, let's see some muscle flexing. Toss the feds out of your county. Send them packing. Hit the trail. Etc.

Edit to add:

The Sheriff is an elected official. If his constituents do not care for him, they can easily vote him out of office. Why does he keep winning re-election if he is so terrible for the community?

[edit on 7-10-2009 by merkaba93]

So the biggest fascist on earth is now a victim of fascism?

Maybe the Sheriff will take on the NWO for us all now.

Or maybe we'll get lucky in another way, and they will lock him up.

I find the racial profiling argument weak on its face. Let's look at facts. If you're in a state that borders Mexico, in an area with an appreciable population of Hispanics, and most of the illegals you end up finding are Hispanic, then it's not racial profiling, it's a statistic. I'm sorry but it doesn't make sense or logical reason to go into a predominantly Hispanic area and look, for let's randomly say.. Illegal Polish immigrants.

Let's see the city-data.com breakdown:

* White Non-Hispanic (66.2%)
* Hispanic (24.8%)
* Other race (11.9%)
* Black (3.7%)
* Two or more races (2.9%)
* American Indian (2.5%)
* Chinese (0.5%)

Ok, I stand a bit corrected here. from the way it seemed painted to me, I thought the place was crawling with illegals. if its only ~25% Hispanic, I'm not totally sure of the problem, since that's 1 in 4 being Hispanic, only 25% of them are legal, that would be an alarming percentage.

For reference, here's my county:
* White Non-Hispanic (47.6%)
* Black (26.1%)
* Hispanic (19.9%)
* Other race (9.9%)
* Two or more races (2.5%)
* Asian Indian (1.3%)
* Filipino (1.0%)
* Chinese (0.9%)
* Korean (0.6%)
* American Indian (0.6%)
