DOJ Creates Tip Line As Part Of Racial Profiling Investigation
The Phoenix Business Journal is reporting that the U.S. Department of Justices has created a tip line as part of its investigation into allegations of racial profiling by Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his deputies:
The tip line — 877-613-2137 — is in both English and Spanish and asks those with information about the sheriff’s department to leave their names and numbers.

[...]

Justice Department spokesman Alejandro Miyar said the tip line is part of the federal civil rights inquiry and that the department also is using 800 numbers for other investigations.

Again, Jo is trying to do his job and these so called Americans that continually complain about the crime are trying to discredit him. Go Jo, and you got my vote for Governor

Since there is no "smoking gun" the Feds now are beating the bushes. Who knoww who could call such a line and leave what information. What a waste of time and money. Channel 5 continues to show their bias questioning Joe and the County Attorney instead of Mary Rose Wilcox who has just been indicted. Hopefully she will resign so the county can move on. Where is the investigation of her?

Joe hopes there is no smoking gun. Again, if there is anything that will get Joe it will not be this issue. It will most likely be illegal search and seizure or abuse of power for personal gain. Either way, I would say does it really matter? The man is 77 years old. He will either retire soon or pass on of old age soon anyways.

Joe may be the next governor. For 77 he is still active and on his game. He could easily lead the state for four years. Phil Gordon looks tired and wore out. Oompare Gordon at the end of his career to Jow who is still on his game. Joe runs rings around him. Age is not always the issue, ideas and drive mean more.

I support Joe! I moved to Colorado from living in Phoenix for 12 years and I wish more Sheriff's would do a better job of enforcing the law. The Fed's are politically motivated as they need the Latino vote to stay in power. Wake up America - enforcing the law is NOT un-American.

You people want to applaud this so called man of justice. The saying that justice is blind is so true in this case, or at least in the case of the people that follow after Joe. Wake up people and smell the coffee this man is a criminal with a badge. Nothing more and nothing less, and one of these day it will all catch up with him and bit him in the but. Go GOJ do your job right.

I wonder if the Sheriff ever reads the stuff that are saying about him. Does he sit in the dark basement of his fountain hills home, pondering revenge against the anonymous posters who are merely using their right to free speech? Is he a sociopath with a badge? Or is he just misunderstood?

Remember "The Untouchables?" Elliot Ness and his Maffia-crimefighting team were called "The Untouchables" because they could NOT be corrupted (in contrast to the "normal" politicians and law enforcement personnel of Maffia-dominated Chicago). The Untouchables were stand-up guys who risked everything to KEEP their oath to uphold, protect, and defend the U.S. Constitution, or, in other words, to ENFORCE THE LAW. Sheriff Arpaio is like that. He's an untouchable. That's why all the "touched" politicians hate him so. I speak as a U.S. citizen and Phoenix resident who had become a victim of chronic vehicle break-ins and ransacking (five times!), and the police wouldn't even dust for fingerprints! I remained a victim, helpless and distressed, researching a safer state to live in, until Sheriff Joe's first Crime Sweep through Arcadia. Since then, my truck has not been molested once! Coincidentally, the stong, young hispanic men in gangster garb whom I'd often seen climbing over my neighbor's concrete wall never showed up again, either! I SO appreciate Sheriff Joe's moral clarity, courage, and untouchableness! I hope we can vote that morally confused pack of political hyenas who incessantly encircle and attack him, OUT OF THEIR PRECIOUS, CORRUPT OFFICES! That goes for the D.O.J., too!

Not even our X-Govenor seemed to be able to make the connection with the serious crime issues in Arizona and the border problems we are having. She left us all during the Obama campaign in pursuit of a job as Head of Homeland Security. She couldn't control one border, now she is in charge of security for the whole country. This has politics written all over it. The same goes for a number of officials who seemed to tread lightly on the subject. If we all point our fingers at Sheriff Joe, it takes pressure of the politicians seeking votes for their party and re-election.
Maybe the Sheriff's methods seem a little crazy to some of you, but I say he is one of the few really trying. If all of the law enforcement entities would work together instead of saying..."It's not my job" or "It's not your job"...we just might come up with something that works. You will never please everyone, so come on! No more lawyers, politics and crying! Every one of us as an American has a responsibility to pitch in and help out.
This is a new age of terrorism, crime, drugs, murder...etc. that requires new ideas and methods for addressing the issues.
There is a lot of energy focused in combating Joe instead of helping come up with solutions.
Don't want any trouble? Don't do anything wrong! See trouble? Do something right!
I have to support Joe...Thank God he has the courage to at least try...

I truly amazed at these comments. His job? Surely the Sheriff's department has another job to do besides the enforcement of illegal aliens? Is there no other crime in this state?

Defending the Constitution? Which part exactly? Which amendment or law is he protecting? Article VIII (8) perhaps? It states "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence".

Or Article VI (6) which states "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." These articles have no condition placed upon them that they apply only to white, americans born here. I also could not find a single ammendment that states all Mexican nationals should be purged from Arizona without respect to their civil or human rights.

I find Sheriff Joe's singular focus on the illegal alien issue extrordinarily frightening. It is not the ONLY issue we have in Maricopa County. Not every SINGLE crime in Maricopa County is committed by a person here illegally.

Not all illegals are of Mexican descent. The majority of the people in Arizona who are of Mexican descent are here legally and were in fact born here. Some Mexican nationals come here legally, to shop, to vacation just as we go there to shop and vacation. But if a person "looks like you are from Mexico" you are not welcome in Arizona.

While he may be able to hide his abuse of civil rights, he is completely unsuccessful at hiding is prejudice.

Ths Sheriff is doing the job we voted him into office for. I believe KPHO is the one profilling someone. They just can't wait to report more bad Joe news and its always the same news anchor who does the reporting! I believe KPHO should starting reporting all of the good things his office has done.

The Fed's need to setup a tip line so we US citizens can report every illegal we come across each day. I would be calling in daily.

Why is it that if you cross the North Korean border illegally you get thrown into prison and get 12 years of hard labor... if you cross the Iranian border while out supposedly leisurely hiking in the hills you get arrested and imprisoned... but if you cross the U.S. border illegally you get a drivers license, a Social Security card and free health care.

I wish they would leave him alone and let him get rid of the illegals and take care of those doing illegal. I can't imagine how tired he must get constantly fighting people that support illegal people, It just does not make sense why people support the idea that it is ok that the illegals come in and steal, Most of them have someone elses SS number they have someone elses ID So the sherrif is not supposed to stop the theft of ID maybe if they stole their Id they would think diffeent, Why should we give these people anything but a one way trip home America is having a hard time taking care of America without 12 milion people here illegaly.

Profiling is the not even an issue as far as I am concerned we live next to Mexico most of the illegals her are Mexicans who should he be looking for. Why isn't a crime for them to just be here they take up resouces like crazy. I am a nurse and I see plenty of them who pass 1 access card around and that is used by several different people. When someone comes to visit them in the hospital they ask to for 3 or 4 different names before they get to the one that is the same as the card the person used. My husband is a teacher and he teaches at a predominatly mexican school and they don't have to even show a birth certificate to get there kids in, but we do. We spend all kinds of mmoney on medical care and schooling for people who are not americans. We need more Sheriffs like Joe he seems to be the only one who gets the fact that they are commiting a crime by being here. If he runs for govenor hes got out vote. All of you bleeding hearts need to go to Mexico to live or pay more takes here to support all the illegals who contribute nothing to this country.

Can you imagine what this area would be like with out Joe? If I am loosing respect for any one, it would be Channel 5 and the "team". It seems that they have nothing good to say about the good that the Sheriff and his department do. The next time one of you needs help, or to report a crime, call and tell it to an illegal or one of the complainers. With all of our rights being challanged by the courts, it is a darn good thing we have some one standing up for us. As for the complainers, move to another country and see how they listen to your petty complaints. And yes I served this country in the military so I do have a right to speak out. What have "YOU" done to protect our freedoms and rights? Wake up and get real before it is too late. Hang in there Joe and Dave.I am behind you all the way! L. A. Green

Why is the Tip line in both English and Spanish? If you are illegal and can't speak english, you do not have the right to call in. If you are an US citizen you would know how to speak english.

P.S. I called the tip line and told them Joe is only doing his job. I urge everyone else to do the same.

I thought that being in this country illegally was against the law, so how can you blame Joe for doing his job? Also, isn't it against the law for employers to hire illegals and I don't believe for one monent that if Joe raided a factory and found it full of illegal persons from other countries other than Mexico that they would not get arested. It is hard enough for the working class to get a job here being an American citizen much less adding to the 12 million ILLEGALS already here. I don't recall any one saying that people weren't welcome in the USA, no matter where they come from, JUST DO IT LEGALLY!!!!! AND I sure never heard it said that our military is overseas fighting for the USA and Mexico. I support Joe and may he keep fighting for the American people. THANKS JOE !!!!!!!!!!!

Since most illegal aliens living in Arizona are from south of the border, mostly from Mexico, it seems to me that if our government is truly trying to do something about it, we wouldn't be looking for blonde, blue-eyed Scandinavians! I am surprised that many in the Latino culture isn't doing more to see that these illegals are pointed out, picked up and sent back to where they came from! To protect them isn't the answer! To protest for them isn't working either! What's to protect? They are illegally here in our country, taking advantage of our weak, "politically correct" policies! We need to follow Mexico's illegal alien policies... they aren't putting up with this in their country!!! You go, Sheriff Joe!!! You're the only official I know of who is doing your job - and doing it well! KPHO... lay off this guy!! We love him and what he's doing!

Sheriff Joe Arpaio and MCSO are being investigated by the Federal Governments department of justice and yet they don't even break a sweat or raise a brow about it, why? Because the MCSO knows the DOJ has nothing. Now! the judges and the politicians in Maricopa county are being investigated by the MCSO and they are all crapping in their soon to be " pink panties " Why? Because they know that MCSO has everything to bring them down. Good day. J.W. Simms.

According to the Maricopa County Criminal Justice records, illegal aliens commit violent crimes at almost 3 times that of native born Americans.
- We spend about $1 billion annually in K-12 on illegal aliens.
- Arizona #2 in the World in kidnappings.
- Illegal alien abuse of our medical facilities has forced many to close.
- Illegal aliens use our deserts to dump their non-degradable garbage.
- Through increases in taxation, our representatives are stealing our property in order to redistribute our wealth to illegal aliens.
- In the U.S., 26 citizens a day are killed by the actions of illegal aliens (12 by stabbings and shootings and 13 by DUI and related crimes)
- Services we are required to provide to illegals are bankrupting our states and lowering our quality of life and quality of education.
- Tucson public schools use race based ethnic study courses to denigrate the U.S., inculcating loyalty to Mexico.
- Abetting illegals enables the culture of corruption they bring to grow: Kidnapping, ID theft, drug wars, murder, vehicular manslaughter, gangs, graffiti, drop houses, hostage taking, blackmail, rape and death during transport of illegals, home invasions.
- voting for sanctuary cities allows potential terrorists, who are illegals, to walk our streets with impunity (4 of the 5 leaders and pilots of the 9-11 terrorist were stopped by law enforcement and released and were in violation of our immigration laws. Had they been arrested 9-11 would have been averted.

if we lived next to canada, and had an immigration problem there, we would be looking for CANADIANS, which would be caucasion.
the laws of our country require us to carry proper identification, i.e. drivers license, etc.
so, people need to follow the rules, and have the proper i.d., and if i was near canada, and was pulled over, and i had my i.d., i'd be thankful that some agency was looking out for the well being of our country.

The following letter was sent to Dennis K. Burke today with the hopes that he will agree to establish a specialized outreach effort to collect information on the abuses by and corruption of Joe Arpaio. Of course, I signed my letter and included my contact information. It is my sincere hope that you, the readers, will follow suit and contact Dennis Burke's Office with your own information. Please be sure to use your name, address and contact information. It goes without saying that most government agencies are unlikely to act on anonymous information. To access Dennis Burke's contact information simply go to: http://www.justice.gov/usao/az/contacts.html

Honorable Dennis K.Burke
US Attorney for Arizona

Dear Mr. Burke,

Recent reports indicate that your office is aware of serious allegations of abuse and corruption within the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.

I respectfully request that, due to the nature of and the number of allegations of abuse and corruption within the office of Joseph M. Arpaio, your office establish a specialized outreach effort to allow those citizens with information to provide your investigators with enough detail to substantiate the allegations of corruption and abuse.

Specifically, my information is intended to provide you with instances of contract fraud, misuse of RICO funds, misuse of JEF funds, selective and targeted harassment, abuse of power, obstruction of justice, threatening and intimidating, Purjury, forgery and false swearing and providing false information on a public Financial Disclosure Form.

It is my understanding that there are also a number of MCSO employees willing to come forward to provide similar information.

Because of the complexity of the issues and volatile nature of the corruption within MCSO, it is unlikely that my information (or that of many others) could be adequately communicated through a tip line. Accordingly, I ask that you consider assigning a special outreach unit to address the overwhelming amount of information it is likely your office would be receiving.

For your kind consideration, and for your assistance I respectfully thank you in advance.

I would suspect that the act of treason against the lawful citizens of these United States and the willful obstruction of justice in Maricopa county, perpetrated by one ( Lydia Guzman )will ultimately be the death of her. I also suspect, that her illegal Mexican friends will be more than happy to hold the all revered ( Car Wash ) in her honor, although she is apparently devoid of any honor whatsoever, to help with her funeral expenses.

Do you agree that being here illegally is breaking the law? If yes, how should it be enforced?

Is driving above the legal limit against the law? Well yes. Are setting up DUI check points profiling? Well, yes I guess but we all think it’s OK. Shouldn’t all the people who like to drive impaired be up in arms against the Sheriff office? Well, I guess they could, would you support them? Well no, they are breaking the law. Our laws need to be enforced. I propose all law enforcement agencies setup road blocks to check if we all are here legally. If not we go to jail.

PHOENIX -- The Phoenix U.S. Census office is working with Hispanic organizations in the state to make sure they get an accurate count of the number of illegals living in Arizona.
Local Census office manager Al Nieto said that encouraging illegal immigrants to fill out the Census forms is not only important for statistical reasons, but also for funding.
"We have many people who are in Arizona who are not here legally, but whose children attend our schools and go to hospitals, and those are all affected by the Census results and the federal dollars that come back to Arizona," Nieto said.
According to the General Accounting Office, 65 percent of Hispanic residents nationwide returned Census forms in 2000, compared with 78 percent of white residents.
Max Gonzales, vice president of communications for Chicanos Por La Causa, one of the organizations working with the Census, believes the government is just doing its job.
"The Census is doing the requirements of the constitution, which is to go out and count every inhabitant," Gonzales said. "An inhabitant doesn't mean whether it's documented or undocumented. It's every inhabitant."
According to the Census office, Arizona will end up losing about $400 per year for the next 10 years for every person the state can't count, adding up to $4,000 per person. If the state misses out on counting 250 people, that will add up to $1 million in lost funding.
Gonzales said committee workers are going to various communities to hand out pamphlets about the Census and inform people that filling out the forms is a good thing.
"It's our job to let them know that reaching out to the Census is OK and that their information is safe and secure," Gonzales said. "This does impact them on a real micro level."
But one illegal immigrant, who identified himself only as Pedro, said he doesn't plan on filling out the Census form.
"They call us illegals and we don't count for the government," Pedro said. "They push us away and they don't want us here. So what (do) they want us (for)? Just (so) we get counted for money?"

And there you have it my friends; the sole reason our elected officials are pushing so hard to get sheriff Joe Arpaio out of office, the sheriff is not deporting illegal aliens back across the border he’s deporting “ MONEY “ back across the border and this bankrupt state can’t have that happen. It is my opinion that the elected officials of the state of Arizona, are supporting groups such as Chicanos Por La Causa, La-Raza, and ( Lydia “ the scuz “ Guzman ) and her ( We are Not!! America Coalition ) in order to bring in and retain as many “ illegal aliens as possible, in order to defraud the Federal Government out of Millions of dollars during the 2010 census period. If ever a Federal investigation was warranted, this is it and should begin at the state capital and work it’s way down. In lieu of a Federal investigation into the working’s at the State Capital, we are forced to live with a criminal illegal alien element, because” they amount to Money for the state. If you don’t believe me, just ask Pedro. That’s my opinion, what’s yours? J.W. Simms.

You have two families: "Joe Legal" and "Jose Illegal".

Both families have two parents, two children, and live in California.

Joe Legal works in construction, has a Social Security Number and makes
$25.00 per hour with taxes deducted.

Jose Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number,
and gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table".

Ready? Now pay attention...

Joe Legal: $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000..00 per week, or $52,000.00
per year. Now take 30% away for state and federal tax; Joe Legal now has
$31,231.00.

Jose Illegal: $15..00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week, or $31,200.00
per year. Jose Illegal pays no taxes. Jose Illegal now has
$31,200..00.

Joe Legal pays medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for his
family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year. Joe Legal now
has $24,031.00.

Jose Illegal has full medical and dental coverage through the state and
local clinics at a cost of $0.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has
$31,200.00.

Joe Legal makes too much money and is not eligible for food stamps or
welfare. Joe Legal pays $500.00 per month for food, or $6,000..00 per
year. Joe Legal now has $18,031.00.

Jose Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for food stamps and
welfare. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.

Joe Legal pays rent of $1,200.00 per month, or $14,400.00 per year. Joe
Legal now has $9,631.00.

Jose Illegal receives a $500.00 per month federal rent subsidy. Jose
Illegal pays out that $500.00 per month, or $6,000.00 per year. Jose Illegal
still has $ 31,200.00.

Joe Legal pays $200.00 per month, or $2,400.00 for insurance. Joe Legal
now has $7,231.00.

Jose Illegal says, "We don't need no stinkin' insurance!" and still has
$31,200.00.

Joe Legal has to make his $7,231.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline,
etc.

Jose Illegal has to make his $31,200.00 stretch to pay utilities,
gasoline, and what he sends out of the country every month.

Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after
work.

Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family.

Joe Legal's and Jose Illegal's children both attend the same school. Joe
Legal pays for his children's lunches while Jose Illegal's children get
a government sponsored lunch. Jose Illegal's children have an after school
ESL program. Joe Legal's children go home.

Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same police and fire services,
but Joe paid for them and Jose did not pay.

Do you get it, now?

If you vote for or support any politician that supports illegal aliens...

You are part of the problem!

It's way PAST time to take a stand for America and Americans!

We cannot allow illegals entering this country destroy us either. Joe is the only official helping us in this battle. If the government and local officials would do their job we would not need Joe to do it for them.
