Sheriff seeks boycott aimed at illegals
JournalNews staff report



HAMILTON — Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones plans to ask for a boycott on county businesses that hire illegal aliens, it was reported late Thursday night.

In addition, Jones said the Immigration and Naturalization Service has agreed to help share the cost of housing illegal immigrants in the county jail, according to Local 12 WKRC.

Jones said he plans to ask county residents to ask businesses “are you in the practice of hiring illegal immigrants? And if they are, don’t do business with them,” Jones told Local 12 Thursday night.

Jones also said businesses in the county that hire illegal aliens should expect the type of raids that were executed at a business in Evendale earlier this week, Local 12 reported. Immigration and Customs officials arrested 33 people Wednesday at IFCO Systems on Evendale Drive.

“You know who you are, and we’re coming,” Jones told Local 12.

Meanwhile, Jones said the INS will now help share the cost of housing illegal immigrants in the county jail. For months, Jones has been billing the federal government to compensate the county for housing suspected illegal immigrants in the county jail.

His efforts in that billing policy have gained national attention since October, when he began billing U. S. Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement for the cost of housing suspected illegal aliens.

The billing policy, charging the federal government $70 a day for each undocumented inmate in the jail, was part of a multi-tiered effort launched by Jones, county Commissioner Michael Fox and state Rep. Courtney Combs.

Last month, Jones sent a letter to President George W. Bush seeking legislation that would authorize local law enforcement agencies to arrest suspected illegal aliens — a responsibility that currently falls solely on federal authorities.

Scubayons-

I want to move back to OHIO.

Go Sheriff Jones!

The tide is turning!

We need more Sheriff Jones!

scub, can you get me this man's contact info? He'd be a good one to hook up with our General Boycott action and the Monthly alerts for Boycott Focus. I bet he'd be happy to know there is a National Action on the same thing he is doing there by himself.

Well come on back.

Great post. Its wonderful to know that there are those out there that have not sold out.

Congratulations and I hope that other County's throughout follow the lead. It only takes a few brave souls to get the others onboard.

I wish they would send a bill to El Presidente Fox and make him cough up the $70 USD per day to babysit his criminals. Oh, I forgot, that would be racist.

I saw a bumper sticker that said :

Not Illegal Alien But Transitional Guest
