		<description><![CDATA[To prove that your geriatric &quot;Sheriff&quot; is somewhat of a hypocrite(besides being a media whore), yesterday`s &quot;swearing in&quot; ceremony was done by an &quot;immigrant&quot;, a &quot;native from Mexico City&quot;.
I&#039;m sure the racist inbreed imbeciles will love this one:

http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2009/01/03/20090103sheriffswearingin-ONL.html

Call that backstabbing a natavist if you will. His statements addressed to the public after being sworn in by a Jose Bello of Mexico City, I guess you can you say that he is now PRO-LEGAL IMMIGRATION. Well, that&#039;s bad news for the retrogrades, who claimed to be only against &quot;illegal immigration&quot; when they are against all Hispanics entirely. I assume Lou Dobbs will be pissed?

Another article by David Carr of the New York Times, this one blasting his dumb reality show, which has poor ratings by the way:

		<description><![CDATA[Sheriff Joe is a friggin joke. No wonder they call him the &quot;joker&quot;. He doesn&#039;t even go after the 40,00 felony warrants that plaqued the streets in the valley.

&quot;Thank you Joe for cleaning up the streets from those freeloaders.&quot;

Wow. One tard way too many. Yeah you probably meant to &quot;thank&quot; him for rounding up *non-violent&quot; felons. And these are the old fools who have re-elected our top contstable. 

The only true law enforcers is the entire valley police force. Most notebly is Jack Harris and George Gascon, the police chiefs of Phoenix and Mesa are unique crime fighters. They have cracked down on crime that the Sheriff is not doing. In fact, the MSCO is not a team player and does not work in cojoint operations with other law enforcement agencies. Simpy ask yourself--who is responsible for bringing down the violent street gangs twice this year??? That was the:
1.) Phoenis PD(and other valley police depts)
2.) U.S. Marshalls
3.) FBI
4.) ICE
5) ATF
6.) DPS
The Sheriffs Dept. was not a part of this wider range of felony warrants being sought and apprehended by the greater law enforcement levels both federally and locally. In fact, he has chosen to work alone, only to go after &quot;corn vendors&quot;, &quot;lawn mowers&quot;, &quot;cooks&quot; and &quot;maids&quot; the non-violent types who are just doing hardwork that the natavists won&#039;t do. Dirty ol`Joe was heavily criticized by everyone from politicians, former political figures(Rick Romely and others), law enforcement professionals, news media, union leaders, church and clergy officials, lawyers, business owners, community activists, students and ordinary everyday citizens. 

The Goldwater Institute has conducted a non-partisan independent research on the MSCO`s law enforcement abilities, and according to them, they have found numerous flaws into how Sheriff Joe is operating his jails, plus slower call response time, because his goons are too busy pulling over Pedro because he happened to be brown while driving. Whereas a White woman is getting brutally raped by a natavist criminal and it takes 10 mins or longer for the Sheriff to respond.

Mesa Police Chief George Gascon has stated 2 weeks ago that the papers which issues a valid warrant to conduct his infamous nighttime raids on Mesa`s public institutions by the MSCO back In Oct. was downright &quot;flawed&quot; according to his statements in the EVT and AzCentral. Where the Mesa Police has conducted an investigation of their own on Joe`s unconstitutional raid that put American citizens lives at risk, according to Scott Smith the mayor of Mesa was ticked off by the &quot;Joker&quot;.

Sheriff Joe isn&#039;t enforcing any laws other than going after Juan, Jose, Jesus, and Jorge who are labor workers and harrassing &quot;brown folks&quot;, isn&#039;t &quot;enforcing aspects of the law&quot;. That&#039;s ridiculous, which is why he&#039;s a joke.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The US immigration system and laws are broken -- we can only secure our border by legalizing the workers who are already here and contributing to our communities and economy, and issuing enough visas for future workers and their families to immigrate [whether temporarily or on a citizen track, like our own forefathers]. Until that systemic reform occurs [this year, we hope and work for], the governmental actions against immigrants by ICE and Arpaio [Arpaio -- that&#039;s Italian, right?] amount to nothing more nor less than official terrorism against the most vulnerable among us.

		<description><![CDATA[Thank G-d there are still some people who are enforcing the law. And you know, Southern Pov. Law Center, once was a good organization that stood for high values.

Perhaps it has something to do with all their millions of dollars I understand their CEO&#039;s now have. I have worked for gov&#039;t agencies helping illegal aliens and it is terrible what they are doing to this nation. They are not &quot;immigrants&quot; in any way, shape or form.

Mexico has an agenda called &quot;la Reconquista&quot; but SPLC is so blind they would rather give them our nation than open their eyes. Americans are not racist - we actually are the most generous nation in the world. But we are a nation of laws - otherwise we will become just like Mexico - a corrupt, drug-infested -----hole! Thanks, SPLC - you certainly know how to stab your country in the back. I am so glad I left your organization!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Sharonms, Those poor people have broken the law like a poor bank robber has broken the law!&quot;- Mark

Are you serious? You think being in this country illegally is equal to robbing a bank? I jaywalked today. I broke the law. I have driven too fast on lonesome highways. I broke the law. I drank some wine before I was 21. I broke the law again. I have evidently broken many of our laws and yet do not feel like a criminal. Heck, most people think that I am a law-abiding productive member of my community. Some even think that I am a good person. If you believe that this could possibly be true, then why can&#039;t an illegal immigrant be a non-criminal who has broken a law?]]></description>

<p>Are you serious? You think being in this country illegally is equal to robbing a bank? I jaywalked today. I broke the law. I have driven too fast on lonesome highways. I broke the law. I drank some wine before I was 21. I broke the law again. I have evidently broken many of our laws and yet do not feel like a criminal. Heck, most people think that I am a law-abiding productive member of my community. Some even think that I am a good person. If you believe that this could possibly be true, then why can&#8217;t an illegal immigrant be a non-criminal who has broken a law?</p>

The states have the right to enforce these laws but most don&#039;t because the don&#039;t have the money or the time.

Joe is a true John Wayne American hero!  We are starting to see more law enforcement doing what he is thank god!  What a Patriot.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Joe Arpaio has done ONLY ONE GOOD THING since he became Sheriff - taking in stray animals and letting inmates help take care of them and train them.  Other than that, he&#039;s nothing but a big blowhard who panders to the extreme right here in Arizona. He needs to do his job as Sheriff of Maricopa County and not stick his nose into jobs that belong to the feds.  If someone commits a REAL crime, and that person happens to be an illegal immigrant, then Sheriff Joe&#039;s boys have a right to arrest that person - otherwise, leave those poor people to ICE.]]></description>
