I suppose you are trying to be funny in lieu of any real response. Sad.

You might want to read Robert Robb’s piece in the paper this morning about how some legitimately concerned about immigration have become blind to Thomas and Arpaio’s abuse of power. In fact, Thomas and Arpaio are actually huting the cause against illegal immigration. By making wild, unsupportable, baseless conspiracy and criminal claims they are distracting time, resources and attention from the real problem of immigration. By reporting Sheila Polk to the FBI they turn a ally on immigration into an enemy.

Is there anyone out there that thinks that what Arpaio and Thomas are doing right now is helping the cause against illegals? What is going to happen to the fight against illegal immigration when these two crash and burn fighting their war of political retribution. It isn’t going to be pretty.

Incidentally, I’m waiting for a reply from you or any other in this regard!
…………………
My previous posts and comments on this subject state my position, so I’m a bit confused as to what else you are asking for.

A generalized comment: any war on anything has multiple fronts and theatres of war. From propaganda to diplomacy to infiltration, spying, disruption, sabotage, skirmishes, all the way to the collision of two massive armies on a traditional battlefield.

I don’t even like the term “War on Terror” when it’s a war against Islamofascism or Radical Islam. “Terror” is a tactic, not a title. Bin Laden and Al Qaeda have LONG publically provided their stated and written goal to re-establish the old Caliphate (The farthest expansion of the Ottoman Empire) with the purpose of using that to expand it into a new global Caliphate. Most of the globe of 6 billion people isn’t interested in being conquered and having to live subjugated as second-class citizens under such harsh rule.
Afghanistan isn’t “war” unto itself, but a “Theatre of War, likewise Iraq is another “theatre of war.” Likewise, the attacks at Ft. Hood were an ambush in another theatre of war. Al Qaeda has stated that they consider anyone not them, to be enemy combatants, including infants; their battlefields anywhere including busses, trains, planes and military bases – even military recruiting offices.

No one had any trouble keeping this straight in WWII, it’s not the “German War” and the “Japan War,” but World War II, with the European and Pacific Theatres of war.

Americans must be dligient on ALL fronts and must be able to discern quickly an reliably who is a genuine treat and who isn’t. WHo would have guessed Pakistan would cooperate better than supposed ally France after 9/11?

Well, anyone who was aware of Chirac’s history of bribery problems wasn’t surprised.

If you’ve been following the Arpaio/Thomas B.O.S. wars and have looked into them, you’ll see that illegal immigration is the core issue.

As a matter of fact, it’s the core issue dividing Arizona’s GOP.

One doesn’t need a rocket science degree to figure that out!

If you’re also really “concerned” about the County Attorney’s actions, you breathe a sigh of relief that he hasn’t used a grand jury.

Submitting complaints with no cross examination will ensure that a G.J. will, in New Yorkese lexicon, “indict a ham sandwich”!

And if you’re really “concerned” you might even pass around a hat at the AZ CofC and League of Cities & Towns on behalf of Mary Rose and Don!

Or better yet, form your own legal defense fund with an accompanyig fan club!

“Concern” can go a long way!

Read my the last paragraph of my post (Substituting “but” for “bug” and you’ll
be aware of the request.

Incidentally, I’m waiting for a reply from you or any other in this regard!

And I’m concerned about a County Attorney who is so afraid of presenting his case to a grand jury that he files a direct complaint against a judge he does not like and then calls a press confernece where he can’t even explain the crime.

And I’m concerned that an elected Republican prosecutor in Yavapai County, with full knowledge of the facts, was so disgusted by Arpaio’s tactics that she felt compelled to condem them.

And I’m very concerned that Dave Hendershott would then, and only then, report her to the FBI.

And I’m concerned that one of our elected officials doesn’t know who is on the Arizona Supreme Court and somehow thinks it is packed with liberal trial lawyers.

And I’m concerned that Russell Pearce thinks that “a complaint that must be signed by a judge” started the case against Judge Donahoe. The complaint is nothing more than Mr. Thomas’ confusing say so.

And I’m concerned that Thomas and Arpaio put together an ill-conceived scheme to smear Judge Donahoe as soft on crime and then denied knowing anything about it when their assertions were proved plainly false.

I’m concerned that a significant number of bloggers reflexively rise to the defense of Arapaio and Thomas and assume every attack on them is an attack on their immigration stance. It is possible, you know, that they could be right on immigration enforcement and just dead wrong on the prosecution of their political opponents. Two separate issues. Really. Blathering on about how tough Arpaio and Thomas are on illegal immigration pretty much proves you’re missing the whole point.

Yup, there’s much to be concerned about.

I said that we’re all saddled with Original Sin and it manifests itself particulurly in our poltitical financial elites determination to avoid enforcing immigration laws. Nothing new, odd or particular about it!!

As one Navy vet to another I would not expect Sandra O’Connor to be any different than the B.O.S. and our Congressional delegation as to having a “three monkeys” program in force regarding enforcement of immigration laws.

I’d also remind you Vet, that every country on earth has immigration laws. We, and I guess, you’re in that crowd, choose not to enforce ours, Republicans for financial reasons and Democrats for political ones.

Bug again, as one vet to another I would have to ask you what is the sense on waging a “War on Terror” when we deliberately open our ports and borders to potential terrorists?

Perhaps you, Wanumba and Joe can clue me in?

NCV….this Justice Department is so corrupt; refusing to investigate the thugs outside the polling places in PA; if they’re going to indict anyone, it should be the ACORN mafioso for election corruption.

The legal community, even in Marikafka County, is very small. Judges, lawyers, and investigators are all inter-related. It is impossible to find someone to be a special master who is without connection to anyone at all.

The time is coming when the Justice Department will step in indictments pursuant to 18 USC 241 and 242. The same sort of civil RICO complaint that sits in Judge Snow’s inbox will be (rightly) filed against the people who contributed to the SCA debacle.

History will show us that Thomas is not Maricopa County’s savior, but it’s Pontius Pilot.

By not properly addressing the issue of businesses needing workers and foreigners looking for work but not really wanting to immigrate, the system is currently designed to encourage criminality on all levels, in all sectors. Everyone becomes someone with something to hide from the law.
Instead of having legal guest worker IDs and work permits which can be shown to border agents, people dodge the agents and the law and are dealing with thuggy coyotes who demand regular payments, who when cornered, flee and leave truckloads of people to die in the desert.
Isn’t that EXACTLY the sort of brutality that our society rejected when confronting the high seas slaving trafficking – hundreds of AFricans dumped into the ocean by slavers to avoid being caught with them when cornered by the British navy anti-slave campaign?

Amnesty is a political gimmick to get votes, not fix the problem. Further, criminals and terrorists easily exploit the systems provided by the coyote traffickers.
Businesses employing illegals pay less, dodging national and state compensation laws, cover up, and are vunerable to bribery, and blackmail.

Illegal immigration may not be the root of all evil, but it’s the root of quite a number of evils, most of which could be 100% avoidable with common sense laws.

Your criticism of my prior post is conceded…to a point!

Ww all are infected by Origianl Sin. This manifests itself in many ways. However in our state, among a few others, it reveals itself in a defiance of immigration law by our financial/political elites who then hide behind a phony sanctimony and lawyer inspired sohistry to damn those who would hold them accountable!
