Cultural Marxists Upset That Joe Arpaio Is Enforcing The Law

Posted on March 23, 2013 by ifnm| Leave a comment

It appears that aggressive enforcement of laws against identity theft are thwarting amnesty claims by hundreds of illegal aliens who stole the identities of Americans.

The cultural Marxists who run the media are upset that Joe Arpaio, Sheriff of Maricopa County, and Bill Montgomery, County Attorney for Maricopa County are throwing a wrench in the ongoing illegal and unconstitutional Obama Regime Administrative Amnesty. It appears that their aggressive enforcement of laws against identity theft are thwarting amnesty claims by hundreds of illegal aliens who stole the identities of Americans.

How Arizona Cheats Immigration Reform

Activists are denouncing state lawmakers for charging immigrants with felonies to ensure their deportation.

PHOENIX–Ivon Matamoros has been packing most of her baby daughter’s clothes and blankets to start a reluctant journey back to Mexico. Matamoros, 24, could be among hundreds of youth who qualify for a deportation reprieve under President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). But she didn’t apply.

Matamoros didn’t think she would qualify because she has a felony on her record — for working with false documents as a cashier and buser at a Pei Wei chain restaurant.

An immigration judge told her this was a “crime of moral turpitude” and that she would have to leave. He gave her a date to do so, willingly: March 21.

Sheriff Joe Brings Down Human Smuggling Cartel; Ring Leader Had Been Deported 8 Times

Posted on March 8, 2013 by ifnm| Leave a comment

Sheriff’s deputies arrested ten suspects – all illegal aliens from Mexico. Three of them have been deported multiple times in the past. Rito-Martinez was deported eight times, Irinero Rios Ordaz was deported five times, and Fernando Benitez-Valdez was deported four times.

Maricopa County, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his deputies have smashed a human smuggling ring that has brought hundreds and perhaps thousands of illegal aliens in and through Arizona over the past 4 years.

The suspects are part of a suspected multi-million dollar illegal alien smuggling ring. After a five month investigation, Maricopa County Sheriff’s detectives tracked the leader of a human smuggling operation to a home in Laveen, eight miles outside Phoenix. That’s where they found the operation’s leader, a man who’d already been deported eight times!

That man is 35-year-old Javier Rito-Martinez. He controls a human smuggling cartel that brought illegals to the U.S. from Oaxaca, Mexico. He and 9 other suspects were arrested by MCSO deputies in the raid.

Neighbors reacted to the sudden and massive assault on Rito-Martinez’ compound by MCSO deputies and SWAT teams.

“I saw all these unmarked sheriffs’ cars coming down and there was like 12 of them and they all had their lights going,” says neighbor Shelly House. House saw the SWAT team storm her neighborhood and thought something significant was happening down the street — and she was right.

Movie Star Steven Seagal Joins Sheriff Joe Arpaio to Train Armed ‘Posse’ as School Guards

Posted on February 11, 2013 by ifnm| Leave a comment

Arpaio says other notable people also have joined his more than 3,000-strong volunteer armed posse, including “The Incredible Hulk” star Lou Ferrigno and actor Peter Lupus of TV’s “Mission: Impossible.”

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio speaks with the media talking about the Sheriff’s new program providing security around schools in his jurisdiction, at Anthem Elementary School Wednesday, Jan. 9, 2013, Phoenix.

The self-proclaimed “toughest sheriff” in America joined forces this weekend with action movie star Steven Seagal to train volunteer posse members to defend Phoenix-area schools against gunmen.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio announced the controversial plan in the wake of the December Newtown, Conn., school shooting that left 27 people dead, including the gunman and 20 first-graders.

The exercise Saturday was held at a closed school site in suburban Fountain Hills outside Phoenix where sheriff’s SWAT members acted as shooters and 25 teenagers played the part of students during mock scenarios involving up to three gunmen. According to 3TV, the group practiced with several different types of guns, all firing blanks.

Seagal, best known for his roles in movies such as “Above the Law” and “Under Siege,” will lead training on hand-to-hand defense tactics and other techniques drawing from his expertise in martial arts, according to a sheriff’s office news release.

Sheriff Joe Raids Sporting Goods Company: Nabs 27 Illegals Using Stolen IDs

Posted on February 10, 2013 by ifnm| Leave a comment

“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.

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.

Sheriff Joe to Obama: Let’s Meet ‘Man to Man’ to Discuss Immigration

Posted on November 14, 2012 by ifnm| Leave a comment

Defiant and reflective, 80-year-old Maricopa County, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio told Breitbart News after winning re-election that he has a message for President Barack Obama: granting amnesty to illegal immigrants is unfair to legal immigrants.

And Arpaio would like to discuss amnesty — along with border security issues — with Obama “man to man” directly at the White House. He would also like to reach out to Hispanic groups he said have misunderstood his intentions and bought into the negative “propaganda” about him.

“I wish the president would invite me to the White House,” Arpaio told Breitbart News. “We’ll have some wine and beer, and light up cigars.”

When it comes to potential amnesty provisions being discussed in Washington, Arpaio said he is against amnesty because, to him, it is a fairness issue the elite media and career politicians in Washington do not understand.

“It’s a fairness issue, nobody thinks about that,” Arpaio said. “Why should we reward people who come here illegally?” Arpaio noted that “everybody around the world is waiting for years to come here” and “they don’t all come sneaking in.” “I’m an old-time guy, I just use common sense,” Arpaio said.

Arpaio said he wanted to talk “man to man” with Obama, whose administration recently accused him of a “pattern” of misconduct that violated the civil rights of Hispanics in Maricopa County and sued him for what Arpaio says was his merely following the immigration enforcement laws that were on the books.

Sheriff Joe Raids GNC Nutrition: 21 Illegals Using Stolen IDs (Including Those of Dead Americans)

Posted on August 11, 2012 by ifnm| Leave a comment

Yesterday was no exception, as Maricopa County Sheriff’s deputies raided the large General Nutrition Corporation (GNC) distribution warehouse in Phoenix. GNC is the dominant retailer of nutritional supplements in the U.S., with stores across the country.

MCSO’s Jeff Sprong says the vitamin distribution business employed as many as 21 suspects using false identifications to secure employment. Two suspects were using social security numbers belonging to dead persons, Sheriff Joe Arpaio said.

About 30 MCSO deputies are involved in the operation. Arpaio says five people were arrested. One person was hiding in a women’s bathroom, while another tried to hide under some type of equipment. Someone familiar with the business tipped off the Sheriff’s office last year about illegal immigrants using fake IDs.

“This is a big, big operation..over 1,100 stores on the west coast and Alaska and Hawaii..we’re not done yet. We have five in custody and will continue to look for the rest,” Arpaio said.

Illegal immigrant protestors arrested at Arpaio racial profiling trial

Posted on July 26, 2012 by ifnm| Leave a comment

The demonstration appears to be orchestrated by the grassroots community-based group called Puente, that sent out a statement for the four and is collecting funds for their bail.

There was more drama outside the Susan Day O’Connor federal courthouse in Phoenix than inside the courtroom Tuesday — where Sheriff Joe Arpaio said his office did not make arrests based on people’s “color of their skin” — as about 50 people demonstrated in the street, including several illegal immigrants who had come willing to be arrested.

Four immigrants with no legal status were handcuffed and taken away by city police after they blocked a nearby intersection, with an unfurled a banner that read “No Papers, No Fear,” for about an hour. Each one sat on one corner of the banner and chanted “Dignity is fighting here. No papers, no fear.” with the crowd.

They all knew they were going to be taken into custody and issued a statement beforehand.
