   I dearly love Sheriff Joe! I have to say those people in AZ, the Gov. Brewer and the Sheriff are wonderful! Thank you AZ, you are doing what this bho and team will not do to protect your state from the illegal aliens and gangs. I just hope, a tiny hope, my TX will follow you. TX along with the other border states have a huge problem.

   I love Sheriff Joe too. If I were an illegal I’d be getting the heck out of Dodge because even a shoplifting charge is going to nail your hide. I lost all sympathy and compassion for the invaders of my country a long time ago. And, it’s not only mexicans (lower cap on purpose), it’s a plethora of invaders from all over the world.

   The AG here in Florida is running for Guv & has already started the process to have a law like AZ. I just might vote for him on that basis alone. OT, but the Republicans took less than an hour to deny Crist’s bill to make off shore drilling an amendment. We had to pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $50,000 to get everyone back to Tallahassee, but money well spent. Of course, Crist is making an infantile ass of himself over the loss.

    Those 500 new troops are there to protect Wachovia’s money laundering profits. Too many leaks in the pipeline.

    It’s getting expensive paying a 2% tax (which is all the fines amounts to) on the billions in profits they earn laundering $378 billion for the drug cartels.

    Additionally, Arpaio said that Obama’s plan to send National Guard troops to the border is a joke.

    In early July, a drug gang shootout left 21 people dead in Altar, Mexico.

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8171843/

    If you go to Google maps and zoom in on Altar, there is a road that leads due north about 50 miles to the Arizona border, to a small town called Sasabe. Zoom in all thw way and you can actually see the network of trails and roads ouside of town that lead across the border from Mexico into Arizona. (It’s interesting that the Google steet view abruptly ends about 100 yards from the border control station on the Arizona side.)

    I can pretty much gaurantee you that not one U.S. National Guard troop will set foot in in Sasabe, Arizona.

    Since Sheriff Joe is a Republican, in Phil’s world being a Republican=Democrat and since I live in Maricopa County and can provide Phil with the phone number to the Sheriff, I think Phil should call Sheriff Joe and inform the Sheriff that Sheriff Joe belongs to the same party as Obama.

    But I would like to know when Phil will be making the call so I can be at the sheriff’s office, just a bit south of me, to watch Sheriff Joe’s reaction.

    Article on Rangel Posted on Drudge

    A House investigative committee on Thursday charged New York Rep. Charles Rangel with multiple ethics violations, a blow to the former Ways and Means chairman and an election-year headache for Democrats.

    The committee did not immediately specify the charges against the Democrat, who has served in the House for some 40 years and is fourth in House seniority. The announcement by a four-member panel of the House ethics committee sends the case to a House trial, where a separate eight-member panel of Republicans and Democrats will decide whether the violations can be proved by clear and convincing evidence.

    San Fran Nan’s calendar just took a hit!

    If that article is true, it only shows how easy it is to fool Republicans. She endorsed McCain right out of the gate and despite her vow to fight for conservatives, her endorsements are always based on the established RINO rules: “electability”.

    How about actually fighting for conservatives? Like Chuck DeVore who was tied with Carly Fiorina before Palin endorsed the liberal RINO? DeVore would have won.

    Would not be hard to do. Arizona receives about 100,000 seniors from up north every winter. Funny thing about the seniors, most served in one branch of the military or the other. Brewer could call up the Old Badger’s Brtgade in a heartbeat, governer, just tell us how many you want.

    In 1933 the California state legislature failed, just barely, to pass a bill that would keep out the poor and those likely to need welfare. With CA unemployment rising to around 30%, in February, 1936, and for the next few years, Los Angeles Police Chief James Davis sent 125 officers to “defend” the state border entry sites with orders to turn back “undesirables” from California and especially Los Angeles. This operation was eventually stopped through the courts by ACLU action.

    Nowadays, Mayor Tony would have the LAPD sent to escort and protect newly arrived illegals democrats as they make their way to Los Angeles.

    CA won’t have to worry about who their governor is if they stay in a bankrupt condition. Tourists are tired of looking at 3rd world communities and it’s abject filth – not necessarily having to do with poverty. It’s a mindset. Illegal immigrants being exposed to America and it’s living standards is not going to change what they hope to acheive, namely a hell hole just like they left. It’s not comfortable to have to change. Employers face the same problem. How can a company with worldwide interests employ some of the students coming out of their schools? I’m glad to be out of there. It’s up to the citizens to fix it now.

    AZ is trying to do something about it. So, of course, the Feds have to put a stop to it. Thank goodness for Gov. Brewer and Sheriff Arpaio. Just tied up loose ends and booked my trip to AZ in the Fall last night. Maybe Sheriff Joe will save a piece of cake for me.

    Hence the Steinback novel “The Grapes of Wrath”. The people they were keeping out were not from Mexico. They were from Oklahoma because of the dust bowl. The derogatory name for them was “Okies” and they were treated very badly. Many were not only beaten but killed.

    Yup, really hard and desperate times produced such brutality against fellow americans. IIRC many of the “okies” that got into CA were steered to the central valley, where they ended up as migrant farm workers until the war opened up better job opportunities for those not serving in the military. Am I remembering that from “The Grapes of Wrath” too?

    Hope AZ stands firm and more states stand along side it.

I pass by the US Embassy once in a while or use the American Citizens Service function and see scores of Thais queuing up to get a visa to the US. They are going through the process legally to enter the US. Those who “climb the fence” should think what the term “illegal” actually means. I have no sympathy for them. I agree with AZ in that if the federal government won’t do its job, the states have to bear the burden and should be able to have SB1070 laws.
