Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio says his crackdown on immigration and other criminal violators in Mesa has yielded 15 arrests within its first three hours.
Arpaio dismissed criticism from about 80 illegal immigrant rights advocates who protested outside his agency's office in Mesa and accused the sheriff office of racially profiling illegal immigrants and Hispanics.
He says the arrests in this and three other sweeps produced arrests of people from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. At least five of the people arrested in Mesa during the latest sweep were illegal immigrants.
I saw on the news a few business owners talking about how there was no business today because of the sweeps...funny how they don't stop to think that maybe they don't want business from those type of people? If the Sheriff is coming to town and the town looks like a "ghost town" as one business owner put it, then doesn't that make a lot of sense as to why the sweep was needed.
Way to go Sheriff Joe!!!
