Hello people, I can not believe that Dennis Gilman and that Guadalupe Mayor whom by the way is probaly a Illegal herself say these Illegals has rights. So why can't you see that illegals has no rights, because Iam an ex-felon and 13 years later I still have no rights. Let Joe Arpio do his job. free america from these Illegals who are in our country working on americans ID's. I can not get a job, they say they dont hire people with felons. What do you think the Illegals are? Its time for America to wake up!

I'm sorry but I didn't understand the whole story. Then, whose fault it is? Is it the Guadalupe's Mayor or the Sheriff?

Wow, I have never read such a biased article. I feel sorry for the Law Enforcement officers that have to put up with this kind of harassment from the press for doing their job and ENFORCING THE LAW! I am not totally in tune with all of Arpaios tactics and history, but when he is so blatantly slandered by a supposed media outlet for doing the right thing, then I find it hard to believe or lend any credibility to anything else that is written by the New Times. The fact that the Author and in turn New Times as a whole is so out of touch with reality and the general publics view is only going to ensure Arpaios re-election. The people "in mass" voted for the immigration laws. The Sheriff's Office is the only agency I know of that is enforcing the laws that "we the people" voted for. When he (Arpaio) gets blasted by illegals or the media runs "anti-Joe" stories like this, his political credentials skyrocket. He is doing EXACTLY what the public wants to see him do! And the overwhelming majority loves him for it! Be careful, these liberal, slanted articles may just be what rallies up enough support from sensible Arizonans to keep him firmly in the Sheriff's seat. Maybe even a run for Governor if you guys doubled your efforts.

Correction...Sheriff Arpaio not Chief Arpaio is not the only one in this article doing [something] positive about following U.S. immigration laws. Anyone who defends his policies is defending U.S. citizens� and legal immigrants� rights.

Chief Arpaio is the only one in this article doing anything positive about following U.S. immigration laws. Before 287g the U.S. had firmly established immigration laws that ourgovernment representatives, big corporations and weakened small businesses along with Pro-illegal Immigrant factions have all worked to undermine. This article is against the U. S. and totally defends Mexico's, Central America's and South America's parasitic use of the U.S. to cure its fiscal deficiencies, including their economy, education, defense and healthcare. They shame their country and their people. It is time for them to HONORABLY care for their own. I no longer can be proud of my Hispanic heritage.

I would like to know who is profiting from the confiscation of property from all of the undocumented persons captured and deported in the recent purges. I have not seen one word about this in the media (my fault probably) but it grates me to see folks stripped of all of their possessions during these arrests and sent away with no chance of recouping any of the value of these takings.
The DMV electronically tags license plates when a car is legally registered using a foreign driver's license, and the officer behind them need only see this electronic marker for probable cause to pull the car over. No need to profile - the DMV appears to have done it for them.
The result is an arrest and confiscation of anyting of value, obviously including the car. The cars are of course "impounded" but with a 30-day mandatory wait and very high minimum fees the chance of retrieval is slim. Car impound lots are overflowing. Where is the money going?
The other thing worthy of note here. If the immigrant is not immediately arrested and deported, he/she is cited. The citation carries court appearances and during the course of a number of these appearances a series of fines are imposed and paid. The immigrant is told after a course of this squeezing that the final penalty is a night in jail and all will be well. You guessed it - that night in jail ends in a busride south.
Is this the Humanity we Americans are so famous for? These folks are defenseless and we buly them and treat them as sub-human sources of treasure. Now that we have 'tolerated' them for so long and allowed them to participate in what they want to think is their small chance at the American dream, accumulate some little material goods, we strip them of them at our convvenience and I suspect for a very dishonorable profit.
I see it every day and I am appalled.

Great information from Stephen and Coz. Thanks for enlightening us uninformed folks sitting on the sidelines! The unleased power of the government against a small town in America sends a terrible message to the world. I hope the feds come stop what could easily escalate into a war with so many nuts running around hunting down workers and trying to destroy their families. This looks like a scene out of Bagdad and must be stopped!

You are absolutely correct, my applogies...
I should have said Bozo Joke Arpaio....

Once again....Arpaio has been responsible for:
43 million dollars in settlements.
Lies and more Lie about Honduras.
Deaths and beatings to people in Arpaio's custody.
Continual Constitutional violations to citizens of Maricopa County.
No Financial Accounting anywhere in MCSO.
Continual refusal to comply with the freedom of information act.
The list goes on and on........
So, because Arpaio takes a convenient stance on an immigration issue months before an election, it's ok to forget about 16 year of malfeasance and constitutional abuse towards AMERICANS that are not illegal immigrants ?
Not only does that show how stupid people are, but how easily they forget the real truth about Arpaio.
Sorry, but I cannot condone 16 years of abuse for 2 months of what a great guy bullshit. Maybe you can turn a blind eye to the facts, I won�t, nor will many others that also know the truth.

What would you have him do? Would you rather his posse greet illegals at the border with cold drinks and snacks?
Throwing out numbers about settlements doesn't mean much this day and age. Who DOESN'T sue for every possible thing?
Wait, people get beat up, and even die, in jail? No way, you have to be joking. Think about the environment where these events occured, it's not exactly a sunday picnic.
It is very easy to pick out all the bad things that have happened over the course of 16 years, and neglect to say what good those actions produced.
Do you want to call the grammar police, or should I? I wasn't aware 'Moron' was his first name. Let's focus on the issue, personal attacks aren't getting you anywhere.
"Sounds like you didn't get past the third grade, which is why you support this Moron Arpaio."

So citations were given to people while he was in Guadalupe. For what? Oh, breaking the law. Does it matter if the law was murder, or if the law was driving an unmaintained vehicle? No.
You can complain about him, belittle him all you like, but when the day is done he has accomplished more good than your tirade about the methods used.
I think it's possible the article was written out of fear that the town's population would decrease by about 30% if he was not run out of town!

UPDATE: April 9, 2008
MCSO back in Honduras, Operation�s price tag unknown
As MCSO deputies conducted an immigration sweep in the town of Guadalupe last week, Sheriff Arpaio's appointed liaison for the town of Guadalupe was not there. Deputy Loren Gaytan was on assignment in Honduras, according to MCSO sources and Guadalupe Town Manager Mark Johnson.
On Friday, a reporter for 12 News asked Arpaio about Gaytan�s absence. �The liaison went to Honduras? Never heard of it. I have no knowledge of it,� said Arpaio.
And so the mystery continues for a program that has cost more than 155 thousand dollars of RICO (money seized from criminal syndicates) and tax payer funds. The total cost of the operation is unknown. Arpaio's office has not yet released many records requested by 12 News more than 2 and a half months ago. The program's use of RICO money is facing review from the state auditor's office and has been questioned by elected officials including a prominent state senator and former county attorney Rick Romley.
The Sheriff�s Office justifies the program because a spokesperson says many human smuggling crimes originate from Honduras, most notably from the gang MS - 13.
Last week Deputy Chief Brian Sands visited 12 News studios. Sands is a high ranking MCSO chief who often speaks on behalf of MCSO about illegal immigration. Sands told a 12 News reporter that he has no knowledge of any Honduran MS-13 gang members arrested for human smuggling.
But Sands defends mission Honduras, saying it is not unusual because other police agencies have sister city relationships with Central American countries. Sister city relationships researched by 12 News generally include ceremonial and training opportunities. The MCSO commitment is that and more. Besides the thousands of dollars of new equipment gifted to Honduran national police, MCSO Chief Deputy Dave Hendershott promises to provide and install expensive facial recognition technology for Honduras ports of entry, according to Honduran police officials.
On that issue, Deputy Chief Sands says he is "out of the loop." Hendershott has a high interest in getting facial recognition technology into law enforcement agencies inside and outside of Arizona, sources tell 12 News. Sources say Hendershott�s preferred vendor in the industry is Hummingbird Defense Systems.
MCSO records show the agency has purchased at least 86 thousand dollars for facial recognition equipment in transactions involving Hummingbird since 2006. There may be other similar purchases, but MCSO has not released financial records KPNX asked to view in a separate request five weeks ago. Hendershott remains unavailable to talk about his interest in facial recognition technology and his relationship with the company, Hummingbird Defense Systems.
UPDATE: April 1, 2008
Honduran government contradicts Arpaio�s story
The top law enforcement authority in Honduras says his government has not given any photographs to the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office, despite claims made by Sheriff Joe Arpaio that he's received "millions of photos."
Arpaio made the statements last month when asked why he was funding a projected multi-year Honduras training operation aimed at bolstering the country's police force. The sister-city project has cost the county more than $125,000 of taxpayer funds and more than $30,000 of RICO money, according to documents released by MCSO. Arpaio said he didn't want to go into detail about the program, saying last month, "I'm not going to talk about the five million photos that we have that were given to us for our facial recognition program." Arpaio later added, "They don't give photos just to anybody. They don't give five million photos of people in any country. I've worked in those countries. It's very difficult."
Facial recognition technology compares faces in photographs or video to other photographs stored in a database. The security system is designed as a screening tool for police. Last week, Honduras Secretary of Security Jorge Rodas spoke to 12 News by phone. Rodas said he hasn't sent any photos to Sheriff Arpaio's office, but added he might send some in the future as part of an ongoing exchange of information and intelligence. Rodas said both law enforcement agencies would need to sign an agreement before his government provides any photographs. Two sources within the MCSO also tell 12 News that more employees of the sheriffs office have traveled to Honduras and are there right now. A spokesperson for MCSO would not comment on the information. Last month, Arpaio said the Honduras project was temporarily cancelled and that he was evaluating it.
Arpaio's office has maintained that the investment of manpower and money in Honduras is worth it because of the dangers posed by MS-13, a violent gang that originated in California in the 1980's and has since spread into central America.
Other law enforcement agencies including DPS, the FBI and ICE tell 12 News Honduran gangs do not pose a significant threat to Maricopa County. Arpaio says his office has gang intelligence that other agencies do not have. "I don't care what the other agencies are saying because they don't know the true story," Arpaio said.
Honduran officials also confirmed again last week that MCSO Chief Deputy David Hendershott has promised to send computers and facial recognition equipment to Honduras in a long-term plan to set up a security screening system for the country's ports of entry. According to Rodas, the equipment will be part of a second phase to the sister-city agreement. MCSO has declined to comment about this portion of the plan.
In December, MCSO received approval to spend $264,450 of funds from the Arizona Department of Homeland Security for the purposes of expanding its current facial recognition program. The application, containing contact information of MCSO employee Pat Bristow, facial recognition supervisor, includes detailed descriptions of what MCSO planned to buy, including "Mobile Video Command Centers", "Ruggedized PDA's" and "Mobile Image-Video Capture Stations." In the application, a representative for MCSO writes that "facial recognition has become a regular law enforcement daily operation... Facial recognition has become an integral part of the homeland security/anti-terrorism effort."
Even though the application was approved, records from the Arizona Department of Homeland Security show that MCSO has since re-directed those funds. In a letter dated January 29, 2008, Deputy Chief Ray Churay writes that the original proposed project could not be accomplished "due to proprietary software issues that were unforeseen by Maricopa County and MCSO." Churay writes, "...a much greater priority exists at this time for the funds that were originally planned to enhance the Facial Recognition (FR) investigative unit at the Arizona Counterterrorism Information Center (ACTIC)." Instead, Churay says a portion of those funds would be best spent on a "state-wide secure communications web interface with multiple data base capability." Captain Paul Chagolla of MCSO says the sheriffs office has never sent any equipment overseas that was purchased with Homeland Security funds.
