Kids march to protest Arpaio policies
Kids march to protest Arpaio policies

PHOENIX -- About 50 children marched through downtown Phoenix Friday to protest Maricopa County sheriff Joe Arpaio's immigration policies.
"Hey, hey, ho, ho, Arpaio has to go," the children -- wearing monarch butterfly wings to symbolize migration -- chanted as they walked from the Fourth Avenue Jail past the federal courthouse to Arpaio's headquarters.
Tanya Mercado was among those attending the march.
"I've already been to a Joe Arpaio march, a couple of months ago in April," she said. "I'm just here to support the kids whose parents don't have papers."
Alyssa Miranda said she was there "to help the kids who don't have any parents and they're suffering."
Gabby Drusczz said there has to be a better way to deal with illegal immigration.
"People don't know there are victims and those are the kids," said Drusczz. "I'm not saying it's right or it's wrong. I don't know, but there has to be some answers."
The walk was organized by Puente, a human rights organization.
The message to Arpaio is to stop ripping families apart, said Puente leader Salvador Reza, adding that the message also was for President Barack Obama and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
"A lot of the kids who are coming are kids who have lost their parents through the raids or through the immigration policies of the sheriff," said Reza. "They're going to be asking the sheriff not to deport their parents."
Sylvia Herrera, a member of Puente, said, "The kids are the ones who are requesting that these abuses stop."
Arpaio knew of the march before it happened and was critical of the organizers.
"They're going as low as you can go by using kids, especially in the hot weather, and parading in front of my office," the sheriff said. "We have thousands of people in our jail who are separated from their kids. Nobody seems to care about those parents, but this issue is all because of the illegal immigration situation."
Reza retorted that if Arpaio cared about children, he would not deport their parents.
"When the sheriff deports parents and kids, sometimes those kids have to walk for three days in the middle of the desert," Reza said, "and that's really messing with kids."

The reason the ILLEGALS have the Anchors is to stay in the U.S. to receive the benefits, their Anchors are nothing more than throwaways for their agenda; if they were important to the parents they would take their children with them when they returned to their HOME countries . They do not want to be Citizens of the U.S. only to the extent that it would allow the ILLEGALS to remain in the U.S. for our tax money and they will return south of the border as soon as they have drained the U.S. Dry.

Using the Kids....this in its self is child abuse!! the people doing this should be in jail themselves. Exploiting children is the lowest!

Here's an idea - let's march out AMERICAN kids who are living in shelters because their parents lost their jobs to illegals. Let's march out AMERICAN orphans who parents were murdered by illegals.

This is why the anchor baby is destructive to this country! They advocate on behalf of parents who are criminals and expect sympathy!
People don't know there are victims and those are the kids," said Drusczz. "I'm not saying it's right or it's wrong. I don't know, but there has to be some answers."
Now you know why we call them anchor babies! Their parents use these children as shields to avoid responsibility for their criminal actions!
Outrageous!
There are some answers. It's called enforcing our immigration laws and deporting those who are here illegally!
