Subject: Sheriff Joe (Arpaio) Raids Sporting Goods Company: Nabs 27 Illegals Using Stolen IDs
He’s known as “America’s Toughest Sheriff”. But Joe Arpaio continues to show he deserves the moniker of “America’s JOBS Sheriff”. Because every time Sheriff Joe conducts a raid, he frees up jobs for legal American workers.
And at a time when raids by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are almost unheard of – Barack Obama has slashed workplace enforcement by a staggering 70% since 2009 – Sheriff Joe and his department keep on working to crack down on illegal aliens in the workplace.
Today was no exception, as Maricopa County Sheriff’s deputies raided Sportex Apparel in Tempe, AZ, a custom-made sports clothing and accessories company – and arrested 27 illegal aliens, most of whom were caught using stolen or false identification.
In a seven-month long investigation, deputies learned that as many as 19 employees were using false or stolen IDs to work at Sportex, said Officer Christopher Hegstrom with MCSO. After Friday’s raid, 23 illegals were arrested for ID theft. Four others were taken into custody for outstanding criminal warrants, totaling 27 arrests.
This was the sheriff’s 61st such sweep. In the previous 60 employer sanctions/identity theft operations, 100% of all suspects found to be committing identity theft to gain employment were illegal aliens. Sheriff Joe’s office has investigated, arrested on the streets and in the jails over 79,000 illegal aliens.
“Illegal aliens are stealing identities of U.S. citizens to gain employment which escalates our unemployment problems. I don’t believe we should tolerate this. Furthermore, I will continue to enforce all federal and state illegal immigration laws in the business sector through human smuggling and crime suppression operations, despite activists and the federal government who may not like it,” said the Sheriff.
There is not yet indication whether some of the illegal aliens were using the social security numbers of dead persons, as has happened many times in the past, including ones of murder victims.
Arpaio said that one of the benefits of these employer sanctions/identity theft operations is that they open up job opportunities for legal citizens.
For critics who insist that illegal aliens only take the jobs that Americans refuse to do, we remind them of the example in the news report below, where legal workers of all ages and backgrounds lined up for jobs at three Phoenix-area restaurants, after a major Arpaio raid removed 200 workers there:

He is the Sheriff and he has to enforce the law of the land so no complaints here. Its refreshing to hear about illegal immigrants being removed from the country after constant talk about an amnesty for them and proposals that would give them more rights than people who migrated to the United States legally.
Illegal immigrants should not be able to find employment in the US and those firms that willfully hire illegal immigrants should be heavily fined for doing so.

Anyone who thinks a sheriff can go around conducting enough raids to stop the incentive for illegal immigrants is delusional. Even if that sheriff is good ol' sheriff Joe, complete with his kick ass PR team and long history of ethics violations.
Anyone who looks into the issue and comes away thinking that any more than tiny percentage of illegal aliens are getting work by fooling employers into thinking they're US citizens is even more deranged. Even if good ol' sheriff Joe releases a PR bit pretending that's the case.
Most illegal immigrants are working because you can pay them very little. They know full well who they're hiring. You want to stop illegal immigration... you punish employers who hire people with no legal right to work there. Stop the demand, and the supply will dry up.
Of course, that'll kill agriculture, because no American is picking oranges for that kind of money. So then you look at temporary working visas, actually formalise and regulate the industry so the only jobs are in industries that local citizens aren't competing for.
But the only thing going for that kind of strategy is that it works, and guys like good ol' sheriff Joe don't really care all that much for stuff that actually works.
“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

Meanwhile glad that Sheriff Joe is keeping on keeping on, I wish we could adopt his prison policies here in Colorado. I think bright pink is a good color for felons and some disney channel, maybe the hub, is just the kind of TV they should be watching on their leisure time if they get any.

Your last sentence is silly. A county sheriff has no authority to issue temp worker visas nor 'formalize and regulate' any industry, so wether he cares that it would work or not matters little. He can only enforce the laws on the books. I also doubt there are lots of folks who think one sheriff in one county can conduct enough raids to stop the incentive for illegal immigrants. However it is reasonable to think that he can conduct enough raids to lessen the incentive in his county, the only place he has authority in.

What were the consequences for the employer? No mention was made, so I must assume either there were none, or this particular media outlet is shielding them.

So you wish to punish people according to your idle fancies? Regardless of the effect of that punishment?

Colbert challenged people to pick Strawberrys with him. 2 people showed up. Two people showed up to see Stephen Colbert. That says something.

So?
The farmers should pay more to entice potential employees... and yes, that'll drive up the costs of the produces.
So, we need to decide. Do we want cheap labor and thus cheap food? Or, eliminate illegal workers and pay for increased costs?

Cheap food. Why? Because the US are the Food Barons to a lot of the third world. Our food prices go up and people quite literally starve to death in South America. Not to mention increasing the cost of basic necessities screws with the economy.
And no American wants to work in 120 degree weather 10-12 hours a day to get the job done.

There are ways to find cheap labor to harvest fruits and vegetables. There is no cry for a change in the way its done because currently illegals, or hispanics(or friggen whoever, I am just referring to AZ in this case) on work visas(or any number of options as to why they are here), so nothing will change. If all the fruit pickers in the world just *poof* disappeared, we would find a way to accomplish their job. How about instead of chain gangs cleaning up trash, we have them pick fruit and harvest vegetables? Gotta find a place for all the degenerates in our society.
I don't wanna hear about no 120 degrees weather. I'm from Arizona, and even here in Afghanistan when it gets hot its ridiculous comparatively.

And I never did quite the get the Disney thing. Surely you could find better TV programming besides that which will be pre-teen spank bank for the prisoners? Just odd, especially if there any pedos in the prison. Thats most likely what they watch on the outside.

Having gone home for the holidays and been around when my younger siblings were watching the disney channel I can say that it's content is more likely to cause any right thinking adult to commit suicide then anything else. I was trying to strangle myself to stop the pain after about five minutes.

Yes but you've never been in prison, where they only thing close to woman you'll see is a pre-pubescent girl on DIsney. There's a reason many prisoners turn gay in prison, and your deluding yourself if you think plenty of them aren't stroking themselves to sleep to Hannah Montana.

They don't turn "gay", they just...take what they can get. Granted, I don't have many friends that have been to prison(or any for that matter), but people who I know have gone to prison didn't come out trying to find a new boyfriend or whatever. I don't really know though.
