Our Presidente
Oct 10, 2009 Political
Ole- our Resident and his little scuzzy socialistas want to grant amnesty to all the illegals here now, indeed, they wouldn’t mind if more came in- cheap work forces are hard to come by, especially if you have a sheriff who is arresting the potential work force. That is why, at the behest of several groups who are invested in the “legality” of these people, the federal government, in this case the Department of Homeland Security, has taken the Federal powers to arrest and detain illegal aliens from Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona.
A controversial Arizona sheriff known for taking a hard line against illegal immigrants has been stripped of some of his powers in what he described as a political move by the Obama administration.
Joe Arpaio, a gruff lawman who styles himself as America’s toughest sheriff, has won acclaim from US anti-immigrant forces for his relentless pursuit of mostly Hispanic illegal immigrants in Maricopa county, Arizona, a fast-growing county of 4 million people that is home to Phoenix, the nation’s fifth largest city.
Arpaio’s aggressive tactics include the jailing of illegal immigrants in tent cities surrounded by barbed wire in the middle of Arizona’s searingly hot summers, the reduction of meal costs to 20 cents per day, the use of pink jail clothing for men, and chain gangs for women inmates.

Good for him- the purpose of jail or prison is to punish the offender, not be a vacation destination- as far as I am concerned, if you offend, you lose some of your “rights”- like the “right” to air conditioning, TV, and other privileges that people in the outside world take for granted. The fact that Sheriff Joe can put these people in tents, dress them in pink, and feed them baloney sandwiches is and should be viewed as a part of their punishment. If the prisoners don’t like it, so much the better.
Under a two-year-old agreement with the federal department of homeland security, Arpaio and his deputies had been authorised to enforce federal immigration law by arresting suspected illegal immigrants in the field and by checking the immigration status of people arrested on other offences.
But after drawing thousands of complaints and a civil rights investigation from the justice department, Arpaio was this week stripped of his federal authority to make immigration arrests. County attorney Andrew Thomas, one of Arpaio’s supporters, condemned the “setback in the fight against illegal immigration”.
For his part Arpaio has promised to continue chasing illegal immigrants using state laws. In an angry press conference, he called US homeland security officials “liars” and said he would personally drive those caught on the streets to the border if federal officers refused to take arrested illegal immigrants into custody. “I’ll take a little trip to the border and turn them over to the border,” he said.

Heck, if I lived there, I’d volunteer to drive them back- that’s only fair. They do not belong here. Their first illegal act, was crossing the border. Mexico has a more stringent immigration policy than we do- how crazy is that?
“The department of homeland security is making a historic mistake if it continues its relationship with Sheriff Joe Arpaio,” said Paco Fabian, spokesman for immigration reform advocacy group America’s Voice. “The federal government is lending its full force and legitimacy to a rogue cop certain to go down in history as a serial violator of civil rights and an enemy of the Latino community.”
An estimated 12 million illegal immigrants live in the US. The federal government is virtually paralysed over how to react, with conservatives like Arpaio calling for the arrest and deportation of illegal immigrants and increased border enforcement. Obama, many Democrats and some Republicans call for a system that will allow most to gain legal status after paying a fine and learning English, but reform efforts in 2006 and 2007 withered under sustained rightwing opposition.

Imagine that- a Hispanic against the Sheriff- I guess Paco still has family that haven’t made it over yet. Hopefully they never do- then Paco and his family could visit the old country and the rest of his family, hopefully for an extended period of time.
The plain fact is that if we eliminated all illegal employment in the agricultural fields, our produce cost would rise by about eight dollars a year. A lot of this has to do with a more mechanical approach to harvesting, and also because most of our frozen produce comes from other countries now. In a recent search of my freezer, not a one of ten bags of frozen veggies came from the US.
So what good do the illegals do? Not a thing, in the end. Well- they do make for good news copy, as they slaughter themselves in great numbers. Indeed, there are seven violent crime stories involving spanish surnames to every one of any other race or nationality, every day in the local Houston paper. That is just a fact, as sorry as it may be.
Unlike other immigrants, they are not assimilating into the American culture, indeed they are actively encouraged not to, with ESL being taught, and exceptions being made for those who don’t speak english. Why? That just enables these people to keep crippling along as second class citizens, a sub culture that does nothing positive for our society, instead, making problems for our society that we have to stop and try to fix.
This is a segment of society that if we cannot control and assimilate seamlessly into our society, we need to cast out- their adherence to smuggling drugs and people cause them to be, as a group, much more dangerous, as they will not even try to clean up the bad actors who give them a bad reputation in their society, and thus our society.
If they don’t want to be a part of our society, and indeed they have shown repeatedly by their nationalism, their Mexican flag waving, and refusal to learn any more than rudimentary english that they do not, then they must go home.
Even your best friend can overstay his or her welcome, and they have overstayed theirs.
