My problem with this stems from the fact that Sheriff Joe is following the law by doing his duty in enforcing the law. And protecting the citizens of his community. While some of his tactics are harsh, I support his commitment to protecting the people of his state and the USA in general. Bottom line, most people who are illegal aliens in his state are Hispanic. I am a person with Hispanic blood myself. And while I don't believe Hispanics should be at the mercy of jack booted/kick down your front door illegal search tactics, It stands to reason that Joe is going to confront many illegal aliens in communities where many Hispanics reside. That said, Joe is not going around kicking in doors, and dragging people out of them. That is simply BS brought forth by left-wing agitators that reside in MALDEF and the ACLU. I live in California, and those of us that chose to vote to protect the state's taxpayers from paying undue and unconstitutional benefits for people illegaly residing in our state were called racists, and all other nonsense by these same agitators. Sorry, but that was not my or most voters intentions. These same groups also have said in no uncertain terms that checking a persons legal status before receiving state benefits would be racial profiling despite the fact that all people of all races would be checked. Utter nonsense driven by left-wing foolishness. But yet, those measures might have helped prevent California from going into economic ruin.
These looney notions brought forth by the illegal aliens and their aiders and abetters is a disgrace. These people who bring these charges that Hispanics are being racially profiled is completely without merit. If you are here legally, and law abiding, then what's the problem? Absolutely none. And Sheriff Joe isn't going to do anything to you. Look, I can certainly understand and be sensitive to the impropriety of being targeted due to race as that's a clear violation of an individual's civil rights. But there is nothing wrong with checking a person's legal right to be there if they end up in jail or demand state benefits...for instance. To me, these people are just going after another person who's determined to protect his community, who's doing his job by enforcing the law, and all because they have failed at the federal level. This case looks to be yet another in a series of politically motivated cases against Americans who want border integrity, sensible immigration, and American sovereignty upheld.
