Where have you been? It was a reference to the stupid McCain ad, you dumba–.

But now I’ll be labeled pro-illegal immigration. Oh well, I’ll consider the source(s).

Good point, but it is kinda like throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Unfortunate things do happen in the persuit of justice. Kind of like colateral damage. The only people that never make mistakes are the ones that do nothing.

We simply need to make sur we learn from our mistakes, like for instande the 1986 amnest bill. The only 2 things it accomplished was to train illegals that breaking the law is the best wat to achieve your goals in America, and create a new deluge of illegals once the training was understood.

God’s children.

Just like Hitler, Saddam, Jack the Ripper, and all the inmates at Levenworth.

What a really stupid and pointless statement. I guess the ignorant sheeple eat that kind of nonsense up.

What should have happened is have ICE agents on hand to round up these instigators of violence and deport the illegal ones.

But, McCain and Obama are depending on these people for votes, and believe which ever one out panders the other will win. Once again, we are encouraging what we don’t want here in the US. Deport them if you can catch them is what is right, and what is best.

Or at least his jail guards are. So far they’ve killed 3 people in his “restraint chairs”.

Only 3? Seems like proof that Joe’s a lib.

The only thing needed to finish the picture would be if these pygmies were beating their chest, hopping up and down screaming, “YI Yi Yi Yi Yi Yi Yi!!!!”

Of course Joe himself has been known to be a little violent.

At LEAST? Where is your proof that Joe is violent?

But now I’ll be labeled pro-illegal immigration. Oh well, I’ll consider the source(s).

robscottw on July 15, 2008 at 8:12 PM

no, you labeled yourself as such just fine.

Seriously, why doesn’t ICE show up at every one of these events and check ID’s with the semi-trailer headed towards Mexico City in tow?

On a semi-realted note, the anti-illegal immigration crowd REALLY needs to start doing a better job of distinguishing between immigrants and illegal immigrants. The pro-illegal crowd have slowly, but surely, been getting into people’s minds that anyone who is anti-illegal is anti-all immigrants.
I can only speak for myself, but I welcome all legal immigrants. I think there should be more. I think the student visa program needs to be revised so people who go to school here don’t have to leave for 2 years before having any chance of working here. (seriously, how dumb is it to train engineers and scientists only to lock them out of the market here? DUMB)

If the anti-illegal crowd isn’t careful, it will turn into a catch phrase like ‘a woman’s right to chose (what to do with her body)’ that conveniently leaves out that what is being done is killing a human being but in a vaccum by itself sounds like something you should be behind 100%.

……Do you assume large numbers of American citizens want to beat Sherrif Joe with a bat?…….

UH… Yeah. Actually.
Every criminal in Maricopa County (and most of the rest of Arizona).
Every lefty liberal that ever heard of him.
Eight out of every ten politicians, regardless of party.
Every drug dealer on both sides of the border (A leftover from his days in the DEA.)

Liberal for: “I already consider everyone who doesn’t agree with me as a caveman”.

But hey, good job of cutting off debate before the debate even started; very Pelosi of you.

Or at least his jail guards are. So far they’ve killed 3 people in his “restraint chairs”.

One was paraplegic whom they arrested for supposedly being disorderly at a bar, after they wouldn’t let him wheel himself home like he usually did.

Once in the jail they yanked him out of his chair, strapped into the restraint chair, stuffed a rag in his mouth and his head into his chest and watched him die.

3 people, 3 wrongfull death lawsuits lost, $15,000,000 in settlements to the victims families. None of the victims were illegal aliens btw, of course, if so, this crowd would really be whooping it up. But none of them were arrested for capital crimes either.

But readers here don’t care about anything bad Joe does as long as he “works the media” and makes a show of rounding up illegal aliens (a rather recent phenom of course or is it just a coinky-dink that he’s up for re-election? I’m sure none of the inquiring minds here want to know). After the election (if he wins, pray God he doesn’t this time) he’ll forget the illegal aliens issue and go back to embezzling funds and plunking down cash for businesses ($800K at last count, but he doesn’t want to talk about it, funny that).

But now I’ll be labeled pro-illegal immigration. Oh well, I’ll consider the source(s).

Not at first! The Spaniards had to recruit some other tribes to help them clean up the neighborhood before the other tribes were eaten into extinction….

It’s also only a matter of time before the county is sued for racial profiling. Arpaio has claimed that the arrests (which might number in the hundreds on the most productive sweeps) are made on probable cause of a crime being committed, or on tips. I don’t think it’s any secret that most of the time what’s really happening is Arpaio is sending his posses to neighborhoods like Guadalupe and making excuses to harass anyone with brown skin.

We need to get serious about cracking down on the people that hire illegal labor. To his credit, Arpaio has actually taken some steps in that direction, but the immigration sweeps won’t solve immigration problems any more that arresting potheads has solved the drug problem, or arresting hookers has solved the prostitution problem.

Now I’m sure you don’t interpret her despicable actions as cause for discipline in the light of the code of conduct. Just as I’m sure 90% of Arizonans disagree with you.

You just cause confusion by using facts.
