News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

Deputies and detention officers will verify the immigration status of every person booked into a Maricopa County jail, place holds on undocumented people for possible deportation and check status during traffic stops.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio introduced the plan Thursday as one of several measures the department will use to enforce immigration laws.

While other local law enforcement agencies are partnering with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to weed out immigration-related crime, the Sheriff's Office is using its agreement with the federal agency to go after the illegal immigrant.
