MCSO's Final Tally for the Two-Day West Valley Anti-Immigrant Sweep
MCSO spokesman Aaron Douglas, mugging for the camera during this weekend's operation. Is he SGM?
According to the latest numbers released by the MCSO, there were a total of 52 suspects taken into custody during Sheriff Joe Arpaio's entire two day anti-immigrant sweep in the West Valley. Of these 52, 14 were classified as 287(g) arrests, meaning they are suspected of being in the country sans proper documents.
Out of the 14 287(g) collars, 10 were booked on state charges, with the other four being turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for processing. ICE spokesman Vinnie Picard confirmed the 287(g) figures for the weekend.
Around 8 p.m. Friday the MCSO had reported that Arpaio's boys in beige had collared 8 total, four suspected of being illegal. Those numbers changed by the end of the patrol Friday. On that day, MCSO popped a total of 20 persons, of whom eight were suspected illegals. On Saturday, the MCSO arrested 32, with six of them being 287(g) collars.
In case you don't know, 287(g) refers to the federal program wherein local law enforcement officials are cross-trained by ICE to enforce immigration law. Sheriff Arpaio has some 160 deputies cross-trained as ICE agents, the largest such force in the country.
As reported previously, the two-day raid featured some deputies in ski-masks, with body armor and assault rifles, even though they were pulling drivers over for traffic violations. There were some 200 deputies and posse members involved, using an entire fleet of marked and unmarked cars.
One of the women arrested on a misdemeanor warrant was Ciria Lopez-Pacheco. She was placed in handcuffs by a ski-masked deputy, as her children watched, crying. You can see an interview with the children by immigrant rights activist Sal Reza, here.
To put things in perspective, the Phoenix PD responded to a call in July 2008 which led to a drophouse with around 50 persons inside. They were all turned over to ICE. Such numbers are not uncommon for drop house raids. So, even if you're raving, nutbar nativist, you have to admit what the sheriff is doing in these sweeps is grandstanding, and a complete waste of county resources.
On another note,someone sent me the photo above of MCSO spokesman Aaron Douglas flashing backwards peace signs at the Friday press conference. (Not sure if the photog wants to be identified, and no it's not Dennis Gilman this time.) This appears to be an example of what The Dirty's Nik Richie (a.k.a., Hooman Karamian, a.k.a, Corbin Grimes) calls the "Scissor Gang Mafia," so don't take it too seriously. It's just an amusing photo.

Good work dude! Keep hammering away.
Why are there ANY drophouses remaining? Because Phoenix needs the slumlord/smuggler tax dollars. Gordon is desperate - people leaving in droves, foreclosures, CityNorth down the drain.
Looks like Mr. Lemons is getting softer in tone as he faces possible arrest and prosecution for obstruction and aiding, abetting, harboring.
Notice the "..no it's not Dennis Gilman...(?)" Mr. Lemons's is protecting his little punk. Truly pathetic.

Ok boys, read it and weep:
We have it from one of our own resident scholars, "ChrisTheMediocre" from the azcentral webboards, this bit of academic research, proving that the land of California, Arizona, New Mexico & Texas, which the Mexicans claim is their ancient homeland of "Aztlan", which they believe they have the right to reclaim through "Reconquista" (reconquering) through mass illegal immigration, was not even the territory of their ancestors, AND NEVER WAS.
It's all a hoax perpetrated by some racist, nationalist, expansionist Mexicans, and encouraged by the Mexican government, so their citizens can come here, pump out kids on our soil, steal our jobs, benefits and social security numbers, and sent billions of US dollars back to Mexico in remittances.... to prop up their pathetic, corrupt economy at our expense.... all while calling us "racists" for objecting.
Here it is, in Chris's words:
*******************************************
"Written today for RAG editorial...begins below dotted line...
In taking a break from the book project due to problems getting the project off the broken computer, I have been doing much general reading on the U.S. and have stumbled across a volume that sheds much light on the southwest. I was astonished last night in reading the section on the Spanish Empire. Read it below in a format I wanted to do to submit it as an editorial etc. and bring out as a weapon occasionally. Friends get it now...
--------------------------------------------
Having witnessed the effects of all but unchecked illegal immigration of Mexicans into the Southwest United States and listening to what the Mainstream Media refers to as the 'debate' on the topic, there are several persistent themes I have wondered about when listening to pro-immigrant supporters. Of late I have perused and very soberly examined several sources that conclusively prove the claims of the pro-immigration crowd and so-called Reconquista supporters are spurious and not based upon facts.
One assertion the pro-immigrant and pro-illegal crowd often advances is that what is now the southwest United States was ancestral lands of the Indians that later constituted what are now known as Mexicans after extensively intermarrying with the Spanish. In short, the modern Mexican state implies and many Mexicans outright assert the lands of the Southwest United States were theirs and were stolen through conquest by Americans and supporters of the nascent Texas Republic.
Not true at all.
When the Spanish arrived in the lands that now constitute modern Mexico, the Indian indigenous and aboriginal population was centered in the areas referred to by geographers and historians as Mesa Central and Oaxaca, far from the Rio Grande and the modern U.S.-Mexico border.
No people that consider themselves Mexicans today nor any of the Indian tribes or clans that intermarried with the Spanish heavily in central Mexico were anywhere near what is now the Southwest United States. In fact what became the Southwest United States was inhabited in 1528 -- the onset of Spanish rule in Mexico -- by North American plains and agricultural Indians.
The tribes then arrayed along what became the modern border were: Yuma, Maricopa, Chiricahua, San Carlos, Mescalero, Comanche, Apache, Tonkawan and Karankawa. I am not aware that any current members of those tribes claim any affiliation with Mexico or claim to have citizenship rights.
The tribes that later became the slaves of the Spanish and, technically, Mexican through intermarriage with the Spanish and members of the Spanish colony of Mexico were: Opata, Seri, Tarahumare, Yaqui, Mayo and Teperhuanes. Those tribes were settled mostly in temperate central Mexico and had no holdings anywhere near the Modern U.S.-Mexican border.
It was through the establishment of the encomiendero and hacienda economic systems that took the Spanish and many of their subservient aboriginal Mexicans to the less arable lands north and east toward the Rio Grande and the area of the modern Gadsden Purchase. No aboriginal peoples who later came to constitute the ancient or modern Mexican state resided in the lands that became modern California, Arizona, New Mexico or Texas.
The area of modern Mexico referred to by the Spanish as Mesa Del Norte and constitutes the modern Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango and Sonora were, in 1540, sparsely populated due to the desert climate and annual rainfall of less than 10 inches per year.
By 1572 there were some 507 Spanish-ruled encomiendas in Mexico and were concentrated in the regions known as Mesa Central in Yucatan and on the Oaxaca Plateau, far, far from any lands that became the modern American nation. What finally took the Spanish and their ancient Mexican slaves farther north was the introduction of cattle and horses from Spain.
This spurred a northward movement, though not to any lands that later became America, to the grasslands north of modern Mexico City that were able to support domesticated livestock. These facts alone undermine the claim of many that the Southwestern United States were somehow always ancestral lands of aboriginal Mexicans.
By 1810, though, the encomiendas and haciendas In the areas north of Oaxaca had not done well, speaking to the fact the aboriginal Mexicans never had an incentive to move north and into lands that later became the American Southwest. The land in northern Mexico and south of the modern international border was, and still is, very poor and not suited to the agricultural systems of the aboriginal Mexicans. The Spanish in 1810 recorded 4944 substantial holdings in Mexico of the hacienda and estancia de ganado (cattle stations) types.
Of those holdings 79 were in the eastern provincial areas of Nuevo Lѐon, Nuevo Santander, Coahuila and southwestern Texas. There were 232 holdings in Durango, Sonora, and what later became New Mexico. In southern Mexico there were 4633 Spanish holdings. In California there were none.
The Spanish holdings in Texas and New Mexico were encroaching upon the ancestral lands of Southwestern Indian tribes and were established through military force and conquest by the Spanish in the name of their king. The later moves by the Spanish and their aboriginal Mexican slaves north and east of the Rio Grande and into Arizona, California and New Mexico were purely a product of Spanish Imperialism, the search for wealth and the urge to add lands to the Spanish Empire.
Those moves displaced Indian tribes indigenous to the areas, none of which claim any ancestral or modern affiliations with Mexico or Mexican nationality. The Texans later shed the rule of the despotic Santa Ana. Those Texans were then, legally, citizens of Mexico who revolted; there was no land grab by the American government that displaced Mexicans in Texas. Indeed the Americans later did displace the Spanish north of the modern international boundary, but those lands were ancestral to Indians of the Southwestern tribes.
It is interesting that modern Mexicans assert some sort of claim or indemnity upon land in the United States that was stolen from indigenous North American Indian tribes by the Spanish. That the Americans later dispossessed the American Indian tribes is certainly an injustice but has no bearing upon any claims made by Mexican nationalist groups.
In light of the facts cited herein, from whence comes the claims of La Raza and Reconquista groups that Mexicans have a "right" to land that was never theirs and "stolen for a time" from North American Indians by the Spanish Conquistadors?"

Posted On: Monday, Jan. 12 2009 @ 6:12PMIt is pathetic. All these clowns do is try to cast aspersions on every legal effort to stop the illegal invasion, and to demonize those of us trying to protect our cities, our families and our tax dollars. It's all bullshit. I know I'm not the only one who's had enough of these self styled anarchists and their sociopathic garbage.
Posted On: Monday, Jan. 12 2009 @ 6:25PM"Featured Deputies with ski masks, body armor and assault rifles"? Last time I checked body armor was standard issue to every law enforcement officer and assault rifles were being not only carried by deputies but being ISSUED to City of Phoenix Police. Again, manufactured drama by Lemons and the Cool-Aid crew.
No story here, just more drivel.
Posted On: Monday, Jan. 12 2009 @ 6:35PMWell, naturally we have to admit that what Uncle Joe Arpaio is up to is merely his own peculiar, television-ready brand of self-advertising melodrama, and not legitimate law enforcement in the ordinarily understood sense of the term.
For example, there is the whole business of balaclava-wearing deputies making routine traffic stops. This use of "ski-masks" is a feature of paramilitary raids which originates, and has legitimate use in, circumstances where the lives of officers and/or their families may well be in danger from violent, organized crime gangs (e.g., drug cartels) seeking reprisal. In the case of random traffic stops against individuals of Hispanic descent, in the hope of finding individuals who lack travelling papers, it is simply LUDICROUS.
In response to Valley-based (and visiting) wingnuts who repeatedly ask, in exasperated tones, "Which part of 'illegal' don't you understand?" I would have to answer, the 'illegal' part. What they all seem to have NO grasp of, is the fact that in the vast majority of these cases, we are dealing not with individuals charged with criminal offenses, but with CIVIL DETAINEES. These civil detainees are held in abominable conditions, often in county jails with convicted, sometimes hardened criminals, for indefinite periods without even the free legal counsel offered to CRIMINAL arrestees, and hampered both by language barriers and by the fear of deportation (not only of themselves but also of their families) which allows their jailers to manipulate and coerce them. Frequently, they lack basic medical treatment as well, as can be seen from the case of Francisco Castaneda.
http://www.aclu.org/immigrants/detention/35234prs20080505.html
Meanwhile, in a small victory for justice, the chickens have come home to roost as the Maricopa County jails lose their health accreditation. Regular readers of The Bird may recall that this status was cancelled some months ago -- however, Uncle Joe Arpaio and friends grimly held on to it, provisionally, all through the appeals process. Now, finally, the appeal has been exhausted and the accreditation is NO MORE. Adios, legalized protection from lawsuits.

If these Mexicans would replace their cracked windshields and broken tail lights along with keeping their registration/insurance current, they wouldn't be racially profiled. That deputy has no idea what race the driver is until he walks up to the drivers' side window during a traffic stop. Everybody should know by now that only Mexicans drive around in faulty, defective or otherwise unsafe vehicles. I guess it's acceptable that illegal aliens may gamble with the lives of the motorists they share the road with. This is obviously the fault of those mean and nasty racists that work for the MCSO. The next thing somebody will do, is call these deputies " Racist Skinheads With Badges".
Posted On: Monday, Jan. 12 2009 @ 6:57PMI might add, after reading the subsequently posted comments, that the only "racist, nationalist hoax" being perpetrated here is the constant screed of right-wing scare-mongers attempting to link immigration (undocumented or otherwise) to some mythical conspiracy for national take-over called "Reconquista". Ask the typical day-laborer what "Reconquista" is and his only response is likely to be "Que?"
Outside a handful of daydreaming, left-wing academics, the only ones obsessed with the concept of "Reconquista" are the McCarthyite lunatics who see Reconquistadores (like Communists) under every bed. This kind of absurd propagandizing is the last refuge of scoundrels and extremists who find no support for their positions in reasoned argument, and who must, therefore, resort to boogeymen.
Very good work dude. I'm sure you've realized that trying to reason with Lemmons and his very small circus clowns is like expecting snow in July in Phoenix. Impossible.
I only check in on this terrible excuse for journalism occasionally for a laugh.
Law and order always prevails.

I am not Mr. Lemons' little punk, he is not 'protecting' me. I shared the picture with him (and several others) and offered my permission to publish it, but I didn't make mention about how the source (me) should be cited. Acting ethically and lawfully, Mr. Lemons chose not to cite his source.
Hate Mr. Lemons if you like, but he can be counted on to do the right thing, as demonstrated in this unique situation.

52 ARRESTS.. Only 14 SUSPECTED illegals...
Dude, stay of the wacky tobaccy and try to lean reading skills!
Posted On: Monday, Jan. 12 2009 @ 7:50PMWhat is important to understand about this operation is that Arpaio's attack on sleepy Buckeye was such a failure that he ended up sending his Nazi brigade into Phoenix, Lichfield and Avondale to make the numbers bearable. He, of course, doesn't mention this in his press release but I can attest for it first hand. By the end of both nights, most of Arpaio's thugs were not in Buckeye at all. And when the Cardinals Game started on Saturday-the scanner was pretty dead and they weren't doing much of anything except hiding and listening to the football game somewhere. Of course our Tax dollars paid for it also.
Lets see: 52 divided by 2=25.5 multiplied by 200 Deputies and posse + 60 cars, 8 vans, 3 buses, lots of ski masks, artillery, + mouth wash to get the taste of Joe out of their mouths....Hmm.…
Now don't you think MCSO's press release would've mentioned if they actually caught any dangerous felons?
Ya. (sarcasm intended) GOOD JOB JOE!
Posted On: Tuesday, Jan. 13 2009 @ 5:46AMHeglameister,
First of all, thanks to racist policies that help no one: undocumented folks cannot have drivers licenses. So that may explain a few things. This is why smarter (more liberal) areas allow them to-it's a win/win situation for every motorist, allows PD to track undocumented felons and keeps everyone safer on the roads. Of course it is as popular with the neo-cons as tax increases on the rich.
Second, these deputies are " Racist Skinheads With Badges."
Glyph,
You take great photos! I just checked out your slide show. Keep up the good work.
Did I miss something? How many murderers were picked up? How many bodies were found in trunks?
I supposed west valley murders are suppressed now?
Reconquista has already occurred in California.

Report From Occupied America: Mexifornian Pols, Schwarzenegger, Bankrupt California
By Brenda Walker
Here on the Left Coast, we have seen the Mexifornia future and it doesn't work. An economy built on the "cheap" labor of millions of illegal aliens who are kept afloat by billions of tax dollars in welfare is not a viable system. California's deepening budget hole from berserk spending simply cannot be papered over any longer. The massive costs of supporting a massive unskilled foreign population now threaten basic services.
The long-expected budget crisis has formed up in detail over the last while in the capital of Mexifornia. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has tapdanced his way to the end of the fantasy budget road. He managed to sidestep a lot of potholes, but his luck ran out: the subprime mortgage meltdown punctured the housing bubble and revealed the disastrous extent of California's shaky finances and a history of irresponsible choices.
Californians are being told by the suits in Sacramexico that the situation is dire. The press dutifully repeats the warnings; here are some recent headlines from the San Francisco Chronicle for a sampling of the tone:
The governor's budget cuts nearly every state department
Governor's deep cuts could mean hardship for millions
Prisons: 22,000 prisoners could be set free early to save millions
Education: Parents, teachers outraged at proposed $5 billion cut
Apparently the Democratic legislature hopes the public's response will be "Tax me, please!"—Speaker Fabian Nunez has said as much, that the Dems want tax increases. There is sure to be at least one proposed cut that pushes everyone's button. I'll admit I cringed when I saw the map of 48 parks slated for closure.
Incidentally, as salt in the wound, the riff-raff legislators who got us into this mess are scheming to have their careers extended. Proposition 93 would eviscerate the 1990 initiative-based law that launched term limits for pols in Sacramento. In particular, Prop 93 would allow Speaker Nunez (a loyal pal of Mexicans everywhere) and Senate President Don Perata (under investigation by the FBI for receiving kickbacks) to remain in power.
See Stop Prop 93 for more details about what's being called a "naked power grab." No problema to the Governator, though; he supports the measure and continued dysfunction in state government.
You may remember that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger got into office because of the similar financial mismanagement of his predecessor Gray Davis, who was removed via a celebrated recall election. It was quite the people's uprising at the time. Arnold was elected as a Republican who would bring fiscal discipline to a town famous for its lack, and citizens hoped for some improvement in state government.
But if anything, the Governator has taken political huckstering to a worse level than before. He initially talked reform but quickly fell into the Sacramexico style of wheeling and dealing. He became friends with lowlife Speaker Nunez, who has recently come under scrutiny for his extravagant lifestyle on the taxpayer's tab, particularly his fondness for expensive wine purchased in France.
It's not like the looming budget disaster came as a surprise. State Senator Tom McClintock, a serious financial realist, warned the Governor that extreme spending could not continue:
“Republican state Sen. Tom McClintock recalls a meeting with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger one year ago. The veteran Thousand Oaks lawmaker tried to warn the governor that he was traipsing down the same deficit trail as his recalled predecessor.
“In fact, McClintock cautioned, Schwarzenegger's path was even more risky than that of Gray Davis.
“McClintock showed the governor a chart he had drawn. It illustrated that spending under Davis had increased an average of 7% a year. Under Schwarzenegger, it was climbing at a 10% rate. Similarly, he pointed out, the deficit—the billions being spent over the revenue coming in—was larger than under Davis.” [Taking off the budget blinders, finally, By George Skelton, Los Angeles Times, Jan 10, 2008]
As recently as early January, the Governor was said to be considering $5 billion in increased education programs for non-English speakers, even though the overall budget shortfall has been known for months. Can we at least hope the H-bomb of entitlements, universal healthcare for citizens and illegal aliens, is now off the table?
No, if the Governor's State of the State address of January 8 is to be taken seriously. He continued to sell his socialized medicine plan, saying, "sometimes you have to be daring, because the need is so great."
But free medical care for foreigners would be the mother of all illegal alien magnets. After a year or so after implementation, there would be not a single sick child left in Mexico, and to a lesser extent beyond. Many Mexicans already come for "free medical care they say they can't get back home."
A new California program with the imprimatur of the famous movie-star governor would be enormous news throughout the Third World and would have huge drawing power. Coyotes would certainly market illegal border crossing with an additional pitch regarding the healthcare opportunities for the kiddies. Heck, you would be a bad Mexican parent if you didn't smuggle your sick munchkin into California.
To be clear, coverage for illegal alien children is what's being discussed now…now. But the Mexicans in the legislature would never stop there. One-Bill Gil Cedillo recently introduced his ninth version of drivers licenses for illegal aliens, just as a measure of how important the well being of invader Mexicans remains in Sacramento.
Even a budget crisis of this magnitude has not caused the Governor to consider basic cost-cutting measures. By comparison, Assembly Member Chuck DeVore (R-Irvine) has legislation (AB1758) that would end taxpayer-subsidized tuition for illegal immigrants. It is estimated that 18,000 illegal aliens are enrolled in California's higher education system, from community colleges to UC, at a cost of around $117 million per year.
Illegal foreigners receive a lot of our tax money. A 2004 FAIR study reckoned that the cost several years ago for California was $9 billion annually. No one would imagine that number has decreased.
The situation of Los Angeles County is indicative of the worsening financial bloodletting to taxpayers: Illegal Aliens Receive $37 Million From County In November [KHTS, Jan 8, 2008].
“Twenty five percent of the all welfare and food stamps benefits is going directly to the children of illegal aliens. Illegals collected over $20 million in welfare assistance for November 2007 and over $16 million in monthly food stamp allocations for a projected annual cost of $444 million.
“ ‘This new information shows an alarming increase in the devastating impact Illegal immigration continues to have on Los Angeles County taxpayers,’ said [Supervisor Michael] Antonovich. ‘With $220 million for public safety, $400 million for healthcare, and $444 million in welfare allocations, the total cost for illegal immigrants to County taxpayers far exceeds $1 billion a year – not including the millions of dollars for education.’ ”
That's one rather large county with 10 million residents. Think about those cost figures multiplied to the state level, where there are now nearly 38 million residents. Now imagine what could be done if a governor or legislature were willing to remove the many enticements and to encourage illegal foreigners to leave—as Oklahoma has done so successfully.
With such ongoing defiance of the simple necessity to operate within budgets, it's hard to imagine a workable solution coming out of the California capital. The Governor promises no new taxes, but plans a massive new spending program of socialized medicine.
As Sen. McClintock said on the John and Ken radio show Jan 8, [MP3]"There's no substitute for a governor who can pronounce the word NO." And the Senator has remarked more than once, "You can't finance socially liberal programs with fiscally conservative policies."
But the SacraMexicans continue to try, to the harm of all Americans in California.

Posted On: Tuesday, Jan. 13 2009 @ 7:25AMBird,
It is totally uncool when people post entire articles. Any fool can google some bullshit and post it. No one is even going to read it and we just get tired of posting because of the scrolling.
If we wanted to read right wing racist shit we would be reading immigration buzz.
Hey, that's 52 troublemakers off the streets, and 14 illegals... enough to strike righteous fear into the black hearts of every illegal who has invaded or considered invading our territory without permission.
Sounds like effective law enforcement to me... keeping those illegals and other criminals on the defensive and on the run is an invaluable tool to clean up Maricopa County.
Notice though that Lemons and co. follow a two pronged, contradictory strategy... first they yap and cry about how "unfair" it is to "racially profile" these illegals (and drive so many of them out of the country, or underground), yet they also turn around and yap about how "ineffective" Joes roundups are, and imply that it's a waste of taxpayer money, while never once mentioning the billions of dollars the illegals have cost us all in illegal benefits and other social services... not to mention crime and incarceration costs.
I mean, it's obvious that Lemons and co. don't really care about the money being spent in Maricopa country, nor the tax burdens on us citizens, and they only pretend to, in an attempt to cast a bad light on what Joe is doing, because they will use any phony rationale in pursuit of their objective of transforming Arizona into Mexifornia East.
Posted On: Tuesday, Jan. 13 2009 @ 12:00PMDennis,
I think I see a pattern here, you just don't like law enforcement. You probably don't even like laws being enforced upon you. To call Deputies, especially Latino, black and asian Deputies "Racist Skinheads with a badge" is just a reflection of your problem with authority.
This puts in question your motives and your wannabe journalistic activism. You're just an anarchist with a penchant for illegal aliens and making amateur videos. You're one step away from amateur porn, both in your content and your quality.
In reality, you're just a guy who, in my opinion, needs psychological help. You need to get over whatever childhood problems that appear to have led you down this path and have caused you relationship problems with your baby's mother years ago. Did she set rules for you? Did she try and control you?
I don't even believe you set a good example for your spawn. The anti-establishment attitude only sets them up for a hard life of unwanted attention that you seem to feed from.
One day the fruits of all of this anger towards law enforcement could cause you a great deal of pain and if it does you'll remember this comment. You'll remember someone told you to get help and to stop the madness.
Posted On: Tuesday, Jan. 13 2009 @ 12:54PMYou're right PULL... I got a little carried away with that entire article.
Won't happen again.
Posted On: Tuesday, Jan. 13 2009 @ 12:57PMI'm shocked...what a waste of police resources
Shotguns, body armor and ski masks? WOW...what an example of grandstanding by the idiot Arpaio.
and...the butt-kissers? getting in line as usual!!!
Posted On: Tuesday, Jan. 13 2009 @ 1:10PMDennis should be charged with obstruction and anything else they can stick on him, for filming undercover officers in the line of duty, after he was politely asked not to.
Posted On: Tuesday, Jan. 13 2009 @ 2:54PMDennis got his start as a amateur cameraman filming gay porn at Busy Bee Studios, Scottsdale, AZ. (And he claims he's not gay)
No doubt he was molested as a child, the trauma obviously will haunt him for his lifetime.
Oh, FYI Dennis, that scanner you possess is unable to access secure tactical Law Enforcement frequencies. You only "monitored" what you were meant to hear.
Posted On: Tuesday, Jan. 13 2009 @ 8:29PMClaiming that they illegals are scared is like claiming that busting a few drug users and dealers scares the rest of them out of town or scares them straight.
I don't buy it.
Posted On: Tuesday, Jan. 13 2009 @ 8:35PM
Has anyone put a cost figure on what these raids cost the taxpayer? Add the cost into the totals paid out for the lawsuits and the figure has to be out of this world!
When are citizens of Maricopa county going to wake up?
Sheriff Joe needs to be cut off? He also need to wash his hair every day, check his shoulders when he is being interviewed, lot's of specks!!!!
Has anyone put a cost figure on what these illegals cost the taxpayers?
Posted On: Wednesday, Jan. 14 2009 @ 7:37AMManual- so let me get this right- law enforcement should base their actions on costs? Its not a business- they are not out there to make money. Get a clue.
