Noted Arizona Sheriff raids Sizzler Restaurants for hiring illegals

Sheriff's deputies raided two Sizzler steak house restaurants in Phoenix on Saturday, arresting nine employees who are suspected of being illegal immigrants and using fraudulent documents to get jobs.

The raids were part of a yearlong investigation into whether the operators of the two Sizzler locations broke a civil law by knowingly hiring illegal immigrants, Maricopa County Sheriff's Office Lt. Brian Lee said in a statement.

"This is another example of a case where desperately needed jobs are being occupied by illegal aliens who have disregarded our laws and our borders," Sheriff Joe Arpaio said in the statement.

Joe Arpaio is an Italian-American, so this defeats any bias arguments.:P

this man is so full of himself its crazy, what the hell he's the only sheriff in arizona?:|

While I dont entirely agree with the way things are being handled in Arizona when it comes to illegal aliens, I don't have a problem with them busting those who are taking jobs from legal citizens. That's something that every state should be doing.

at least someone is doing something, the INS sure hasn't been

hell yeah, all the places who hire illegal immigrants should be exposed. There's no justifcation for it. I don't care how bad the situation is in mexico, stay the **** out unless you are legal or just want toi visit.

I don't like this at all. People shouldn't be demeaned and treated this way just because they are not from this country. Legality of being in this country and being employed is not an issue in my eyes. If the US fixed it's economy there would be more jobs for people. If Mexico was 'fixed' they would have no reason to come here. Simply going after one "illegal" at a time is not going to solve the "problem".

They can be really hot too. Some of the hottest women I know are Italian-Ameri.... wait.. way off topic :P

hey, americans took Texas, Califronia and all the states in between from Mexico from Mexico. As far as I am concerned, America wanted those states and took them. Its your problem that you basically F**ked Mexico leaving it with some sh*thouse states lacking in the gold and oil that would have made either the U.S aor Mexico rich. Congratulations on Americans for taking over and becoming the biggest American power, but this is just another example of suprisingly long-term consequences of war...(What I am saying is tat you kind of bought it down on yourselves 150-200 years ago. :P )

This is an interesting perspective. I am an American living in Texas, so I see what you're talking about every day. Tons of people around here are Mexican.. some here legally, some not. What you said is essentially true.

LOL history is funny sometimes.

Even funnier that California and Texas are the two economic, agricultural, and natural resource powerhouse states. Maybe if Mexico had never lost them things would be different for both the U.S.and Mexico.

I'm dismayed by the lack of compassion for illegal immigrants. I understand the need to deport them, but there's no need to be harsh or unkind when talking about it.

Illegal immigration is a problem. I still don't know why you have to be so harsh when speaking about illegal immigrants, though. They're your fellow human beings, not spawn of the devil. Try to have some compassion for their situation. Try to imagine if the shoe was on the other foot.

[QUOTE="UbiquitousAeon"][QUOTE="lyeti"] Its apathy really. Most people are pi**ed off at the prospect of jobs being taken by "illegals". They feel as if they were born better and greater and on a basic level would not like to lose that to others. This causes a lot of the hate, whilst the rest is mostly apathy because its just a continual cycle where the immigrants don't actually get hurt by the police so its considered okay-ish. Most would rather worry about almost everything else than illegal immigrants...SgtKevali

Some of these people were desperate and living in areas stricken with poverty and violence, so they tried to escape it. Can you really blame them?

I suppose we just have different levels of compassion/pity that we feel for others.

NotedSheriff means a well known Sheriff. Maybe Arizona doesn't have Marshals nor Rangers. Maybe Arizona has a State Sheriff as well as county Sheriffs. That's what I would Assume. Some Countys don't even have constables. All of the City's within are policed by Chief Deputies.

While you guys 'bust' illegals we give them 5-star hotel treatment while they are 'processed' and once they are we give them a house and welfare.

Good, someone's finally taking steps to fix the illegal immigrant problem..

We need to get this situation under control NOW, it's getting way out of hand. Something needs to be done, this can hurt the US badly economically. This is no situation to show sympathy towards, it will bite us in the ass.

Kicking out a few immigrants is about as useful as suing four or five people for downloading music illegally. It does nothing to fix the problems. Ninja-Hippo

Mexico is never going to get fixed. Instead of staying down there and... idk, DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THE DARNED SITUATION, but they run like cowards. Deport them all back, and punish buisnesses that hire them severely.
