Feds refuse to confront crisis with illegal aliens

Law and order and discipline are about to take another hit in America, according to The Associated Press article, and not aware of probe, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, of Maricopa County, Ariz., is the subject of a grand jury investigation for his harsh anti-immigration tactics.

If making illegal aliens wear pink prison uniforms is harsh, what is the alternative?

If requiring them to live in tents is harsh, what is the alternative?

Isn't the sheriff doing what the feds should have been doing for years?

President Bush was weak on illegal immigration.

So is President Obama, who seems to be following many of his predecessor's methods.

Bush allowed border guards to serve time for shooting a Mexican drug dealer in the behind.

Now Arpaio is being targeted for doing his job, which involves discipline.

Why should illegals be allowed to continually pour into the U.S.?

I believe there are laws against this procedure.

It would be great if cities, boroughs and citizens reported crimes, but the chief word in this context is enforcement, which is sadly lacking in my own small town.

Perhaps Arpaio should issue a slap on the wrist or look the other way, as other law enforcement bodies have done.

Gov. Schwarzenegger of California wants federal money again, partly due to so many illegals in his state who get a free ride, which should be right back to Mexico.
