OHIO (Indiana's NewsCenter) - An Ohio sheriff along with a state representative from the Buckeye State are asking Ohio lawmakers for legislation similar to Arizona’s controversial immigration law.
Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones and State Representative Courtney Combs sent letters to Governor Ted Strickland, Senate President Bill Harris and Speaker of the House Armond Budish urging them to develop and pass a law that mirrors Arizona’s.
Arizona's law has drawn wide criticism, including from President Barack Obama, and is expected to face numerous legal challenges when it goes into effect this summer.
Ping for Ohio news.
“sent letters to Governor Ted Strickland, Senate President Bill Harris and Speaker of the House Armond Budish “
With those guys in office? Fat chance!
Will Kook-cinich and Cleveland secede from Ohio because of this?
I’m betting on Texas.
Let’s go Buckeyes! Get this done!
Yes I want to see this done. If not now then after we have a new Governor.
As a native of Ohio, I hope they go for it.
My bet is TEXAS or Oklahoma!!!
On the flip side...I received this yesterday as part of an email....
“VERONICA DAHLBERG, WHO IS THE ACTIVIST/ORGANIZER OF HOLA (HISPANIC ORGANIZATION OF LAKE ASHTABULA) IS HOLDING A 24 HOUR VIGIL BEGINNING AT 4:30 PM IN FRONT OF HIS [LaTourette’s] PAINESVILLE OFFICE AND CONTINUING INTO SAT MAY 1ST TO VIGOROUSLY URGE HIM TO SUPPORT SENATE BILL 4321 GRANTING AMNESTY OR A SO CALLED “PATH TO CITIZENSHIP” FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS.
THIS BILL #4321 STATES THAT ILLEGALS WOULD HAVE TO PAY BACK TAXES, BUT IF THEY ARE UNDER THE RADAR AND PAY NO TAXES, JUST HOW DOES THAT WORK?
THIS BILL ALSO SAYS ILLEGALS WOULD UNDERGO A CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK, BUT SINCE MANY ILLEGALS ONLY HAVE THE HIGHLY UNRELIABLE MEXICAN MATRICULA CONSULAR CARD FOR ID, JUST HOW DOES THIS WORK AS WELL?”
SB4321 MUST be stopped!
Sheriff Richard Jones.....Ohio’s Arpaio ;)
The Mexicans have taken over the park right out side of his office. He wont be there andit is unlikely any of his staffers will see them either
I use to live in Painesville, it has turned into Little Mexico in the past 10 years...
Governor 'Hair' talks big, but remember he used to be a Democrat.
“As a native of Ohio, I hope they go for it.”
Well I’m right next door in Indiana and we sure could use one. There aren’t many jobs here and too many of the the ones there are are being taken by illegal aliens.
I also would just love a law that skewers employers for hiring them
Ha....I checked your homepage...adorable little girl and I recognized those landmarks in the photos. I lived in Willoughby for a short time, but grew up and graduated from Wickliffe ;) My sons were born in Painesville. I haven’t been able to get back there much, but I know how awful it’s become! You’ve probably heard of it, but there is a wonderful group called the GrassRoots Rally Team who are planning to protest on....
“Fri April 30 from 4-6:30 and again on SAT. MAY 1, GATHERING AT 7 AM AND CONTINUING WITH SPEAKERS STARTING AT 11 AM IN PAINESVILLE SQUARE.
WE PLAN ON BEING THERE AT 11 AM TILL NOON WITH OUR OWN SIGNS PROCLAIMING, “NO TO EARNED PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP, “ “HOORAY FOR ARIZONA”, AND THE LIKE. . . WE NEED YOU TO JOIN US!!!!! IT IS ONLY AN HOUR AND THIS IS CRUNCH TIME.”
Wish I could make it ;) I hope they will be vigilant and stay safe, especially on Saturday!

2 Texans accused of planning to sell counterfeit IDs
07/21/06, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NORTH BERGEN -- The Pelcastre brothers were a walking threat to national security -- expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity, authorities said Thursday. When police stumbled across the pair, the men had turned a Tonnelle Avenue hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local identity broker, authorities said.
The brothers, Angel, 31, and Jorge, 34, both of Dallas, were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of government documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses for any state in the country, passports and resident alien cards, said state police Capt. Al Della Fave. "Can you imagine if a terrorist were able to get their hands on this stuff?" Della Fave said. "They'd have free passage throughout the country."
A task force including state troopers and officers from both the Bergen and Hudson county prosecutors' offices happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in the parking lot of the hotel Wednesday morning. Authorities wouldn't identify the hotel by name for fear it could hinder cooperation from other hotels in future investigations or spark retribution.
The Corporate Outreach Task Force, formerly the Hotel Motel Drug Interdiction Task Force, regularly runs checks on motor vehicles in area motels. Members of the task force began watching the cars, a Chevrolet Impala and a Pontiac Firebird, and followed the brothers to an office supply store in a nearby shopping center, where the men purchased computer supplies, said state police Sgt. Stephen Jones.
Officers then followed the brothers to a self-storage facility in Secaucus, where they loaded several boxes from a storage unit into one of the cars, Jones said. One of the men stood lookout, which heightened police suspicion, he said. Authorities approached the men when they returned to the hotel and questioned them separately, Jones said. The brothers consented to a search of their cars, hotel room and the storage facility, he said. Police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs, Jones said.
All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street, Della Fave said. Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a fake document broker for a shipment of 500 Social Security cards, Della Fave said.
"They were aggressively selling to brokers," he said. "This isn't like selling driver's licenses to individuals. These were multiple layers of high-level documents."
The brothers were being held without bail Thursday at the Hudson County Jail on charges of possessing fraudulent documents and conspiracy to sell fraudulent documents. Federal charges are also pending against them, said state police Detective Sgt. Cesar Huaman, a member of the task force.
