Sheriff Joe For President!!!!!!

PHOENIX -- Hispanic leaders are calling for an immediate end to Sheriff Joe Arpaio's illegal immigrants' patrols, claiming they are dividing the community and could lead to violence.
"As a community, we see him going out setting up his troops and stopping people at random -- racial profiling," said Hector Yturralde, president of We Are America. "After they find out they can't speak English or they have no identification, then they stop them for immigration."
Yturralde added, "He is causing a division within this community that is not good. And that is not his job."
He said the sheriff is using his title to grandstand at taxpayers' expense.
In the past two weeks, Arpaio has conducted patrols at two Phoenix locations where day laborers gather, using some 200 deputies and posse members. Last week, more than 50 people were arrested in the area around Cave Creek and Bell Roads. More than a dozen were illegal immigrants. Arpaio has vowed to continue the operations.
Yturralde, Lydia Guzman with Respect Respecto and immigrants' activist and former state lawmaker Alfredo Gutierrez expressed concerns that Arpaio's patrols, which have drawn large groups of protesters, will end up in violence.
"We're seeing people come out of the shadows who are very angry because at some point they feel victimized," said Guzman. "And other people are coming out of maybe the other side of the shadows and saying we want something done."
Gutierrez said most "decent" people do not believe the sheriff's operations are accomplishing anything, except dividing the community.
"He chose to take this extraordinary provocative approach," Gutierrez said, adding that during last week's operation, "We were able to maintain control, but barely." He said more patrols could lead to formal resistance, i.e. civil disobedience on the streets of Phoenix.
"I think that will begin to occur at his next excursion, the next time he brings 200 or 300 people into a neighborhood to arrest people," Gutierrez said.
Guzman and Gutierrez said everyone believes that immigration reform is absolutely necessary, but it is the responsibility of Congress and the federal government.
Illegals just go home. No problem.
You go...Joe!!!
Sheriff Joe For President!!!!!!
So let me get this straight.
The illegal alien invaders are saying that if the Sheriff enforces the laws of the USA they will attack?
Sounds like a declaration of war.
Molon Labe!
Outstanding! This is great.
Yturralde added, "He is causing a division within this community that is not good.
A division between illegals and American citizens is very good indeed.
So basically the president of this organization is indirectly proposing violence to stop a Sheriff from enforcing the law.
OK great. Got it.
Arrest and deport her ass while you’re at it, Sheriff.
The Wetbacks are asking for a Hudna!
Well, bring on the violence and we will see who wins.
Yes, it does sound like their argument is that the sheriff should not enforce the law or the criminals might get mad.

If it does, they will lose.
This is not a “fear”, this is a “warning”.
You cannot be a serious student of such massive, tectonic demographics shifts, territorial incursion/occupation, and balkanzation, of any modern day nation such as the USA, without projecting out scenarios containing some eventual violence, as it slowly but surely escalates.
And in my opinion, they will be the ones to start it.
I think they are starting to position for it, and accordingly are issuing these veiled threats.
Because at the end of the day, they will NOT go home and they will squat. Logic tells us that something "has to give."
I and many others I talk too see it coming--I read it in Spanish language blogs and hear it in Spanish media as well. Storm clouds are brewing, the sub prime crash and recession just feed into it and polarization from both sides. I would hope these illegals would just toss in the towel, write off their losses and get out while the getting is good. But I also know of their patent intransigence, entitlement-mentality, lawlesslessness, and prediliction toward brute violence.
I just hope my fellow law abiding, sovereignty loving Americans back home, especially those living on marginal areas close to large concentrations of unemployed and attitude-laden illegal aliens, have taken all preparations and have plans in place for their family's personal and property safety.
I’d work for Sheriff Joe.

Stop them for immigration? No they stop them for being ILLEGAL aliens.
Since when did a Sheriff have troops? I thought the Officers were members of the community sworn to uphold the LAW.
Typical use of code words by those that seek to see that the laws of this nation are not enforcred when it comes to their sacred cows............
I love how they feel they have more rights than US Citizens.
I need to arm up and get ready. Then let the show begin.
Funny how the man claims- to be the PRES of “We are America”, yet; the ones he claims to support are not American citizens.
Let me get this straight, if Sheriff Joe Arpaio does not stop enforcing the law that he swore to enforce then the law abiding citizens are going to get violent, or is it the illegal citizens are going to get violent?
Gutierrez said most "decent" people do not believe the sheriff's operations are accomplishing anything, except dividing the community.
Now these decent people are those that are not baby rapers, terrorist bombers or illegal immigrants right?
You know, freepers, we are doomed if we do not keep history in mind, or we have a "not invented here" mentality, something that chains our reasoning with a blind-kind of "it could never happen in America."
The next few years will prove me right or wrong, either way.
The illegal alien problem is one huge zit on the skin surface of the American body politic, that is about to be burst, with all kinds of ugly ramifications as a result, that will shock many.
Shoot 'em all, problem solved.
No righteous indignation when the cause is not righteous. These folks have no shame. Who said that they live in the shadows?
You know, Ive always wondered..just what’s the problem with..when you get up and go out the door in the morning..to carry identification?
I mean, its flat and fits down in your pocket. IS that ONE THING too much for someone to handle in order to be a good citizen?
It seems as if the left counsels these people to do the exact things that will get them hassled by police.
It couldnt be that they would WANT people in immigrant communities to pick fights with the cops so they would get shot?
So these groups could get more funding and justify their phony baloney existences?
“I’d work for Sheriff Joe.”
If Joe were to put out a call for help, I’d be there in about 3 days.
If he's picking up law-breakers, that IS his job.
BS!...he's doing the job 80% of the American people want another 1,000 sheriffs to do.....GO JOE!
If illegals want to pick a fight thats fine with me.
"I think that will begin to occur at his next excursion, the next time he brings 200 or 300 people into a neighborhood to arrest people," Gutierrez said.
This sounds distinctly like a threat to me.
susie
If they uncover something to this, and it involves several people, they could get them on conspiracy and RICO.
GTFO of my house!
I would sure hope so. Plus, the demonstrations in the streets a couple of years ago woke many Americans up to the problem, which is a good thing.

Hay, "Dumb A** Hector", illegal is not a race..
Sorry Hector but it IS Arpaio's job to lock up criminals. The first thing illegal aliens do when they sneak into America is break the law.
Vs. 
“If he’s picking up law-breakers, that IS his job.”
I can not believe that it took 27 replies before someone stated this obvious fact.
“Sorry Hector but it IS Arpaio’s job to lock up criminals. The first thing illegal aliens do when they sneak into America is break the law.”
You are correct.
I am so sick of the spin that this is about immigration. It is not, it is about breaking our laws.
It is not that difficult of a concept, so I don’t know why so many others can not understand it.
you can carpool with me.
Ditto....
Guzman and Gutierrez said everyone believes that immigration reform is absolutely necessary, but it is the responsibility of Congress and the federal government.
they always say that when it comes to citizens getting fed up, then when the same citizens are being taxed without representation by having to pay for the illegals: healthcare, food stamps, law enforcement, prisons, etc. not including lower wages due to illegals, then they say: “it’s a state problem to pay for this”
my question, and i never get an answer from the politicians, why is the cost “a state problem” and enforcing immigration a “federal problem”. if we taxpayers have to pay, we have a right to define who can receive our benefits (citizens and legal residents) and who can’t (illegals)
apparently they do have more rights that us citizens
there is supposed to be equal protection under the law,
if you are a citizen and you COMMIT FORGERY AND FRAUD, your
butt will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law
according to these groups and politicos who want shamnesty, we are supposed to just ignore the MILLIONS who have committed ID FRAUD AND FORGERY, meanwhile the citizen who attempts to do the same, is doing time
amazing how in this case, those judges, politicos, special interests, illegal alien supporters, ignore the constitution
if they want all the rights of the constitution without being here legally, give them ALL THE RIGHTS, LIKE THE RIGHT TO HAVE THEIR BUTT HAULED TO PRISON FOR FRAUD
and yes, i live in arizona, lived here all my life, i’m a teacher, and what i have seen the last 15 years is making me sick.
i am angry about this. sheriff joe, russell pierce and andrew thomas are the only elected officials doing squat.
if we taxpayers have to pay, we have a right to define who can receive our benefits (citizens and legal residents) and who can’t (illegals)”
If the 80% of Americans who want an end to the invasion withheld their taxes and the first one the IRS arrested another 100,000 showed up and said “arrest us too”, you get the point, but people want the problem solved without themselves needing to be inconvenienced.
If the market charged us $50.00 for a loaf of bread and $100.00 for a gallon of milk and told us to lump it, we would see immediate, united action against the market.
well, the carpetbaggers are charging us $1,000,000 for the bread and 100,000,000 for the milk , tells us too effing bad,wastes half the money and steals the other half , uses our money to support their goal of turning America into a third world nation and there is no unified action.
Stay bent over cause the govt. ain’t done with us yet.
i’m sure they aren’t done with us yet, never will be, not even after you’re dead they still mess with you
Sadly many of our elected politicians starting with the alleged President on down have chosen sides and it doesn't bode well for Americans I'm afraid. The day is coming before long I believe where Americans are going have rise up against an out of control and increasinhgly oppressive government. I pray that I'm wrong but I don't think that I am. God help us all.
Unless there is a STRONG reversal of the entire situation, I am talking mass deportations across the border, either forced or voluntary repatriation, I give it 3 years, maybe four, max. Particularly under a do-nothing President, who will be in Mexico’s back pocket, whom we are fully guaranteed now to have at the White House for the next four years.
“Yes, it does sound like their argument is that the sheriff should not enforce the law or the criminals might get mad.”
Good!
Let them throw some tantrums.
It’d be good from mom and pop America to see what the illegal issue is really like.
Then we bust ‘em or smoke ‘em.
We'll end having to battle not only an oppresive big government but also the millions of anti-American socialist Demoncraps hell bent on our destruction as a nation.
