If the restrictionists were really on the right side of the law and order argument, wouldn't they havelaw enforcement on their side? Sheriff Joe does not a movement make.Funny how Phoenix was chosen for the location of this forum. From the Arizona Republic:
Some of the nation's top police officers on Wednesday called upon Congress to promptly adopt an immigration-reform measure, saying local law-enforcement agencies across America are struggling to deal with crime and confusion caused by a broken system.
About 100 police chiefs and administrators from across the U.S. joined Department of Homeland Security officials in Phoenix for the National Summit on Local Immigration Policies, sponsored by the non-profit Police Executive Research Forum.
During closed discussions, participants agreed that the U.S. needs a comprehensive new law containing guest-worker programs, a means for immigrants to become permanent residents, and federal enforcement of the prohibition against hiring illegal immigrants, according to Chuck Wexler, the forum's executive director.
All political hacks appointed by big city mayors. Real law enforcement leaders are Joe Arpaio and other sheriffs directly responsible to the people. That is what you are afraid of.

Seriously, this needs to be publicized alot! Top Cops calling for CIR is a major thing, as it doesn't give out the stench of political agenda that most folks would associate with politicians who call for CIR

I still wonder whether Sheriff Joe is covering up his involvement in the murder of a US citizen Hispanic and his son in front of his wife..whether he authorized the Minutemen vigilantes led by Forde to attack the house. I would not be surprised if he was involved and we need to get to the bottom of this.
