On Monday evening November 16th, Sheriff Joe Arpaio carried out his thirteenth crime sweep. He and 200 deputied plus a posse managed to arrest a sizeable ammount of illegal immigrants. These sweeps occur in heavily latino areas in Phoenix. Sheriff Arpaio claims that all of the illegal immigrants were originally stopped for other crimes and then found to be illegal. Now this may seem like racial profiling and.... wait yep its profiling. Sheriff Arpaio believes himself to be some sort of Arizona hero by finding loopholes through the federal placed laws to restrict his unlawful acts against latinos. Since the federal government took away Arpio's power to make federal immigration arrests he decided to make his own law so he can continue these sweeps.
I know these sweeps may seem like a huge waste of time when police officals should be combatting actual crime not the crime of having dark skin and living within Arpio's juristiction. Unfortunatly there are many in the state of Arizona who love his enthusiasm against Latinos. Maybe somebody should let Arpio know that no many how many of these sweeps he carries out that there will always be Latinos in America. If Arpio had his way he would be investigating Sonia Sotomayor. Sheriff Arpio is just fueling racism and racial tensions in the state of Arizona and the state would be better off is he was removed from any sort of authority position.
