Immigrant rights groups to protest Arizona sheriff's visit

Immigrant rights groups are expected to protest Tuesday outside the Rancho Bernardo Country Club, where the controversial Arizona sheriff, Joe Arpaio, will give a speech on his efforts to crack down on illegal immigration to a sold-out crowd.

Arpaio, the sheriff of Maricopa County, Ariz., got national attention for using deputies to conduct frequent raids to catch illegal immigrants and building large prison tents to house inmates.

Immigrant rights activists say the sheriff's tactics create fear and alienate illegal immigrants, which means they are less likely to report crimes because they don't want to risk being deported.

"Community members are gathering to express the need for trust and respect between law enforcement and residents," said Nidya Ramirez, a coordinator with the Escondido Human Rights Committee, a grassroots immigrant rights group.

Among the groups expected to attend Tuesday's protest are the North County-based El Grupo, the Border Angels and the American Friends Service Committee.

The sheriff is scheduled to speak to members of the Conservative Order for Good Government, a group that hosts speakers as a way to promote dialogue between residents and elected officials.

"I invited the sheriff to speak because I think everyone wants to know what it is like to fight illegal immigration on the front lines," said Marty Judge, the group's president.

"Congress has for decades lacked the will to protect our border with Mexico and left it for state and local law enforcement to try to stem an overwhelming flood of illegal immigrants," Judge said.

Arpaio is expected to talk about his strategy for stopping illegal immigration and how the controversial new Arizona law will affect law enforcement.

About 220 people are expected to attend the event.

The Arizona law, Senate Bill 1070, would have required police to check the immigration status of those stopped or arrested if police suspect the persons to be in the country illegally and if it's feasible to do so.

A federal judge blocked some of the more controversial aspects of the law late last month, saying the federal government must take the lead on deciding how to enforce immigration laws.

Sold out....darn!

Sheriff Joe would be surprised if no one was there to protest esp in this state. He's use to it so won't phase him a bit.

The Immigration Industry, Mexico, and the left are renting a protest and busing them in to shout and bully again?

Flip em the bird for me please...

"Immigrant rights activists say the sheriff's tactics create fear and alienate illegal immigrants, which means they are less likely to report crimes because they don't want to risk being deported."

How stupid is this statement? Alienate illegal immigrants?! Are you kidding me? Less likely to report crimes because they don't want to risk being deported?! Beyond absurd!

The person who wrote this must have been an anchor baby in The Twilight Zone!!

I wonder if Joe’s fans from Europe will attend???


“So why do they like Arpaio in Germany and London?
Because those countries are advanced cases of the social disease caused by unlimited immigration. They are also advanced cases of another disease that America has: A buildup of out-of-control government that totally ignores the will of the people. Arpaio is a renegade who challenges the authority of the higher-up authoritarians.

The fallout of unlimited immigration for the common people in Europe is illustrated here:

If America is smart, it will take its lesson from Europe before illegal immigration destroys usâ€

Forget about getting in to see Sheriff Joe Arpaio at his Tuesday appearance before the Conservative Order for Good Government.

Tickets for the controversial Arizona lawman's talk at the Country Club of Rancho Bernardo disappeared 10 days ago. COGG is squeezing 220 people into a room at the golf club and has more than 100 requests for the waiting list. That's a big step up from the 75 or so guests that the group typically has at its meetings.

"We weren't sure what to expect. We knew we would have more than we usually get," said COGG President Marty Judge.

The last time COGG had so much interest in one of its speakers was some 30 years ago when it hosted former President Gerald Ford.

Arpaio will speak for at least 15 minutes longer than the usual 45-minute allotment. "We're expecting a lot of questions from the floor," Judge said.

REGION: Protests, applause greet Arizona sheriff

Joe Arpaio a lightning rod in immigration debate

When controversial Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio approached a group of protesters Tuesday morning in Rancho Bernardo, he was shouted down with chants of "Arpaio's got to go."

The mostly Latino crowd of about 150 people was protesting Arpaio's policies on illegal immigration in Maricopa County, Ariz., where the sheriff uses his deputies to arrest illegal immigrants, tent prisons to house them and other criminals, and chain gangs to punish them.

Arpaio, who has been dubbed "America's toughest sheriff," was in North County to speak at a luncheon held by the Conservative Order for Good Government, a group that says it hosts speakers to promote dialogue between residents and elected officials.

Inside the Rancho Bernardo Country Club, where the luncheon was held, Arpaio, 78, received a standing ovation as he walked in.

"I wish I could speak to those demonstrators out there," he told the crowd of over 200 at the luncheon. "Everywhere I go, they follow me around."

To some, Arpaio has become a symbol of everything that is wrong with the nation's broken immigration system. To others, he represents the solution.

"Joe Arpaio is doing the job no one else is doing," said Dom Allen of El Cajon, one of two demonstrators outside the event in support of the sheriff. "We need to clone Joe Arpaio by the thousands. We need more Border Patrol. We need more enforcement."

Across the street, Nydia Ramirez of Escondido said Arpaio was not welcome.

"The San Diego community will not welcome hate," she said. "We stand in celebration of human rights and the dignity of all human beings regardless of legal status, race or ethnicity."

Arpaio's visit coincided with a vote in Congress to approve a bill to spend $600 million to pay for more unmanned surveillance drones and 1,500 more agents along the border with Mexico. The bill includes $176 million for 1,000 new border patrol agents, $89 million for another 500 customs and immigration personnel and $32 million to deploy aircraft to patrol the border.

During his speech, Arpaio spoke of his own policies to address illegal immigration, which include arresting all illegal immigrants his deputies encounter in the course of their duties.

Since early 2008, Arpaio has run immigration and crimes sweeps, where deputies and posse volunteers flood an area of a city ---- in some cases, heavily Latino areas ---- and arrest traffic violators and other offenders.

At Tuesday's event, Arpaio said his officers do not use racial profiling, an allegation frequently lodged against him. He repeatedly has said people pulled over in the sweeps are approached because deputies had probable cause to believe they had committed crimes and that it was only afterward that deputies found many of them were illegal immigrants. This practice was a central component of a hotly debated state immigration law that was supposed to take effect last month, but was blocked by a federal judge.

He also defended his jail policies, including housing inmates in tents in the desert, making inmates wear pink underwear and feeding them cheap food ---- which he said costs about 19 cents a meal.

"I'm not a social worker," said Arpaio, dressed in a blue suit and sporting a tie clip shaped like a gun. "I'm a law enforcement guy."

At the luncheon, the sheriff with a reputation for being the "toughest sheriff in America" often drew laughter and applause from the crowd.

However, Arpaio declined to say whether San Diego County would benefit from his policies. He said he did not want to tell other sheriffs how to run their departments.

John Raasch, one of the people who attended the luncheon, said he liked what he heard.

"He's the only person I know that speaks for common sense," Raasch said. "There's a problem and there's a solution. Most people can't make that connection, and he does it."

It's amazing that these lawbreakers always fear a backlash, but they are always the ones that resort to this kind of behavior. :evil:

Video from the OBL side of the protest:

I'm wondering what those policemen were thinking of the protesters. I'm sure they would have liked to take their bullhorns away and taped their mouths shut.
