Arizona Town Enforces The Law
by Jeff Davis
The Associated Press reports: “Police in suburban Scottsdale have begun routinely asking for proof of citizenship from every suspect they arrest and turning those who are in this country illegally over to federal immigration officials. The procedure was started Oct. 15, a result of the September killing of Phoenix police officer Nick Erfle by an illegal immigrant, Erik Jovani Martinez.”
Murdering a cop is definitely a good way to create a backlash from the local government. Too bad someone had to die before immigration law was taken seriously. The police protect the rich people’s wealth and property, and without the police, the rich are at the mercy of the Third World banditos running loose in America today.
Back to AP: “Scottsdale police had arrested Martinez on a misdemeanor charge 16 months earlier but they released him then because they didn’t know he was an illegal immigrant who had been twice deported. Erfle’s killing ’caused us to look at what we’re asking suspects,’ Scottsdale police Sgt. Mark Clark said. ‘If we arrest someone and then find that we called ICE (Customs and Immigration Enforcement) and they put a hold on them, then we know they have been deported and are back again.’”
I guess nobody in the Scottsdale PD ever thought about what to ask suspects before this. Okay, it’s the year 2007. Illegal Third World immigration has been a visible problem in this country for well over 30 years. The Eisenhower administration in the 1950s deported large numbers of illegal aliens. Now it occurs to the police in a town in Arizona whether obvious Mexicans are in the country legally? Now? If it had been some other working stiff who was murdered and not a police officer, would they have changed their policy? Of course not.
The article also notes “Martinez was later killed by police after he stole a car and took a hostage, authorities said. Now police in the affluent suburb ask every suspect about their citizenship, have ICE agents pick up those who are in this country illegally, and keep a database of possible illegal immigrants in case they turn up again.”
Ah, an affluent suburb. I see. Don’t want to make trouble for the rich people about their nannies and their pool boys and their landscape gardeners, and don’t want to make trouble for all the construction companies who are building grossly overpriced condos for the retiring Baby Boomers fleeing from California. Okay, got it.
We need to remind ourselves that our worst enemies in this immigration thing are not the Mexicans themselves. Our worst enemies are the wealthy white people and the big corporations who are selling out their grandchildren’s inheritance and home for the sake of a little cheap labor.
