It's almost hard to come up with words about just how wrong this is. Living in AZ has made me very hard toward illegals. Sheriff Joe does these "crime sweeps" in the cities and towns around Phoenix. He gets little to no support from town officials and there are always protesters talking about how he is violating their rights. I don't think he's done one single sweep where he hasn't arrested several illegals and others on outstanding warrants. Right now he's in hot water for segregating those being held for deportation in different tents than the regular criminals. As much crime as is committed by illegals in Phoenix, you would think he would get more support. That certainly not the case.
A couple of years ago, the State passed a law that required proof of citizenship to go to college and get financial aid. Boy did that cause a stir!
I completely agree, we need to change whatever law is out there that gives illegals access to our civil court system. They need to be able to defend themselves in criminal court, just before they are deported.
