Sheriff Joe Arpaio is preparing for a showdown on Wednesday when immigration rights advocates plan to march in Phoenix.

Arpaio said "we will have our experts in enforcing illegal immigration laws and if we come across any illegals pursuant to crime we will arrest them."

The Sheriff plans to send deputies to a neighborhood near 24th Street and Thomas where the march will begin at 9am.

This is the same area where protesters gather for weekly rallies. Marchers plan to take their rally to City Hall.

6:22 AMI think that the "Marchers" should just keep on marching across the border to Mexico. If you want to fight for something, fight the government in Mexico and for a better life in your own country where you BELONG!!!!!!!
