Sheriff's office arrests illegals at day labor area in Queen CreekThe Business Journal of Phoenix - by Mike Sunnucks The Business Journal
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is stepping up his efforts against illegal immigrants that congregate at day labor sites.

The MCSO arrested 16 illlegal immigrants in Queen Creek on Oct. 4 after responding to complaints about the workers harassing some children near a school bus stop.

Arpaio's office arrested 34 illegals in Cave Creek earlier this month at day labor site near a church in Cave Creek.

The sheriff has set up an illegal immigration tip line (602-876-4154) for the public to report undocumented migrants and businesses that hire them.

The line has been criticized by Hispanic groups as being discriminatory.
