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.

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office reached a milestone Thursday in its fight against illegal immigration: The 500th undocumented immigrant was arrested under the state's law against human smuggling.

At the same time, Sheriff Joe Arpaio said he would hire 15 deputies to concentrate on enforcing state and federal immigration laws. Thirty-seven deputies and detention officers have finished an Immigration and Customs Enforcement course that gives them the power of federal officers.
