People are usually careful to refer to "illegals" instead of "Mexicans", but in other stories, they slip sometimes. One person even suggests deporting Raul Grijalva (D), because he's "a Sonoran at heart." Here’s a story from today that Sheriff Joe is going to raid the entire Phoenix area.

All the charm in the world won't make this right... Obama and Janet on Arpaio's side can't be good. Having just left Arizona I can say Latinos definitely feel persecuted there, whether or not you are legal, because it is the ultimate battleground in this debate (hence why JanJan got the job at DHS)...

We're all "suspicious." I hate when I hear well-off Latinos trying to make it seem like those "illegals" are making it difficult for the rest of us. No, they're not. They're the ones being exploited and the racists are the ones making it difficult for the rest of us. I have little to no faith Obama will pass immigration reform. I hope he proves me wrong, but he comes off as a bit <i>weak</i> on big legislative issues when push comes to shove. It’s not just undocumented people these fools are hating on, but all of us.

The developments by the administration are outrageous. So they better amount to something good for our community like passage of comprehensive reform or we will have ended up with no better than the Bush admin!

I live in Arizona and I didn't know the extent of his connections with the 287(g) program until I read it. It's scary how much some people here love him. Online comments on local news sites are filled with crazies who can make any issue about immigration or "ILLEGAL ALIENS" or "ANCHOR children" or grand conspiracies that they think Mexicans have to take over the U.S. I'm glad I'm getting out of here soon.
