Sheriff Arpaio Continues to Enforce All illegal Immigration Laws

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s continued crackdown on illegal immigration resulted in the detaining of twelve illegal aliens last night by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office Human Smuggling Unit. Five of the illegal aliens detained were booked on charges of Human Smuggling, and the other seven were turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for appropriate disposition.

Sheriff Arpaio began his Human Smuggling Unit over two years ago; it has booked 2,137 suspects for Human Smuggling, a Class IV Felony, and has a conviction rate of 96%. In addition to those bookings, the Sheriff’s Office has also placed Immigration Holds on over 36,000 arrestees, making them subject to deportation.

Sheriff Arpaio has vowed to continue enforcing all aspects of the state and federal immigration laws through the use of his Crime Suppression Operations, Human Smuggling Unit, and the enforcement of Employer Sanction laws. Sheriff Arpaio says “I will not be distracted nor deterred by civil rights activists, or Department of Justice Officials, demonstrators or local and national politicians from continuing to do my job as the elected Sheriff of Maricopa County”.

Sheriff Arpaio will be traveling to Nashua New Hampshire tomorrow to speak to one of the largest Republican organizations in the state regarding the continued problem of illegal immigration within the United States. Arpaio will also be meeting with Former New Hampshire Governor, and former President George Herbert Bush’s Chief of Staff, John Sununu. The Sheriff received a call from Sununu today.

Sheriff Arpaio is expecting a large number of protesters in front of the Crowne Plaza Hotel, in Nashua New Hampshire, Sunday at noon, while he is addressing the Nashua Republican City Committee. Arpaio says “wherever I travel there are demonstrators, I refuse to be deterred because of a few people protesting my policies. The audiences I speak to are always 100’s of times larger than the protestors. I’ll continue to talk to my supporters across the country”.

Background

Postings from Brisbane, Australia by John Ray (M.A.; Ph.D.) -- former member of the Australia-Soviet Friendship Society, former anarcho-capitalist and former member of the British Conservative party.

Why is "La Raza" the one Spanish term that is NEVER translated in the American mass media? Because translating it would make it a lot less respectable. It means "THE RACE" -- The mixed Hispanic "race" of Mexico. Racism is fine South of the Rio Grande only, apparently.

The "line" of this blog is that immigration should be SELECTIVE. That means that:

1). A national government should be in control of it. The U.S. and U.K. governments are not but the Australian government has shown that the government of a prosperous Western country can be. Up until its loss of office in 2007, the conservative Howard government had all but eliminated illegal immigration. The present Leftist government has however restarted the flow of illegals by repealing many of the Howard government regulations.

2). Selectivity should be based on "the content of a man's character, not on the color of his skin", as MLK said. To expand that a little: Immigrants should only be accepted if they as individuals seem likely to make a positive net contribution to the country. Many "refugees" would fail that test: Muslims and Africans particularly. Educational level should usually be a pretty fair proxy for the individual's likely value to the receiving country. There will, of course, be exceptions but it is nonetheless unlikely that a person who has not successfully completed High School will make a net positive contribution to a modern Western society.

3). Immigrants should be neither barred NOR ACCEPTED solely because they are of some particular ethnic origin. Blacks are vastly more likely to be criminal than are whites or Chinese, for instance, but some whites and some Chinese are criminal. It is the criminality that should matter, not the race.

4). The above ideas are not particularly blue-sky. They roughly describe the policies of the country where I live -- Australia. I am critical of Australian policy only insofar as the "refugee" category for admission is concerned. All governments have tended to admit as refugees many undesirables. It seems to me that more should be required of them before refugees are admitted -- for instance a higher level of education or a business background.

5). Perhaps the most amusing assertion in the immigration debate is that high-income countries like the USA and Britain NEED illegal immigrants to do low-paid menial work. "Who will pick our crops?" (etc.) is the cry. How odd it is then that Australians get all the normal services of a modern economy WITHOUT illegal immigrants! Yes: Before the pandemic, you usually COULD buy a lettuce in Australia for a dollar or thereabouts. And Australia IS a major exporter of primary products.

6). I am a libertarian conservative so I reject the "open door" policy favoured by many libertarians and many Leftists. Both those groups tend to have a love of simplistic generalizations that fail to deal with the complexity of the real world. It seems to me that if a person has the right to say whom he/she will have living with him/her in his/her own house, so a nation has the right to admit to living among them only those individuals whom they choose.
