Mexican official criticizes Sheriff Joe Arpaio

The Mexican Consulate in Phoenix has joined the chorus of federal lawmakers and advocacy groups coming down on Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his treatment of undocumented immigrants.

Earlier this month, Arpaio segregated undocumented immigrants in the county jails and marched 220 convicted inmates from Durango Jail to Tent City.

The sheriff said it would save money and help facilitate visits by attorneys or the Mexican consulate.

That's a sham, Consul General of Mexico Carlos Flores Vizcarra wrote in a letter sent Monday to the county Board of Supervisors. Vizcarra believes the "highly publicized spectacle of ethnic prisoners is in clear violation" of the United Nation's Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners and asks the board to "put a stop to these tactics."

Arpaio is an elected official and sets his own policies, but the board approves his funding. The supervisors are reviewing the county's potential legal fallout based on comments made by Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas, who publicly opined: "racial and ethnic segregation by the government is unconstitutional."

"These practices are clear violations of the privacy laws, civil rights afforded by the U.S. Constitution and of longstanding standards of international treatment of prisoners," said Vizcarra's two-page letter.

"Claims by the sheriff's office that the segregation of inmates served to facilitate visits by lawyers or the Mexican consulate are a sham and clearly disingenuous. Incidentally, this segregation has not facilitated visits in any way. On the contrary, the once daily Consular access has been restricted to three visits per week."

THIS ISNT THEIR COUNTRY! GET THESE CONSULATES OUT OF HERE!

You can't run your own country so SHUT-UP while we run ours!

Consul Vizcarra Sez, " the "highly publicized spectacle of ethnic prisoners is in clear violation" of the United Nation's Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners and asks the board to "put a stop to these tactics."

I would think that invading a country with 12-20 million of its own citizens would violate some United Nations laws too eh?

I sent the consul an e-mail telling him to shut up. You can do the same.

This is what needs to happen! If mexico does not like the way their illegal invaders are being treated, then they should keep them on their side of the fence!
