We welcome all comments below, especially from those who somehow manage to hold on to an ideology that allows for them to be enraged over Arizona enforcing its own laws while at the same time being enraged with ABC for supposedly not doing enough to enforce the “Dancing With the Stars” voting rules.
The greatest story ever courtesy of the Washington Times:
“America’s toughest sheriff,” Phoenix’s Joe Arpaio, is creating an armed “Immigration Posse” to combat illegal immigration, and Hollywood actors Steven Seagal and Lou Ferrigno, along with Dick Tracy and Wyatt Earp, have signed up.
Fighting Justice Department accusations that his office discriminated against illegal immigrants during arrests, Sheriff Arpaio said the civilian posse of more than 50 members gives citizens a chance to fight the problem inundating their border state.
“Law enforcement budgets are being cut and agencies are losing personnel and yet the battle to stop illegal immigration must continue,” said the sheriff, who heads the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. “Arizona is the busiest port of entry for people being smuggled in from Mexico, Latin and South America. So asking for the public’s help in this endeavor makes sense, especially given the success the posses have experienced over the years.”
Fifty-six new Immigration Posse members from various professions were sworn in by the sheriff Wednesday as “illegal immigration fighters.”
Mr. Seagal, who starred in such action movies as “Under Siege” and “Above the Law,” is a sworn deputy in New Orleans. Mr. Ferrigno, who played the title role in the 1970s TV series “The Incredible Hulk,” works as a reserve deputy with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office. Another new civilian volunteer is Peter Lupus, who starred in “Mission Impossible.”
