This stuff makes me sick. The attacks on Arizona and Arpio is getting WAY out of control. These idiots have been foaming at the mouth to get at Arpio for anything they can think of. The thing is, he's not profiling at all. He's been doing what the US government is suppose to be doing, which is enforcing the law.

Snow also said the saturation operations were just a pretext to stop vehicles with people who may be in this country illegally.

"During saturation patrols, participating deputies conducted many stops for minor violations of the traffic code, including minor equipment violations," the judge said.

And Snow said that, generally speaking, deputies "had no difficulty in finding a basis to stop any vehicle they wished for a traffic infraction."

Cops do it to citizens all the time!

This makes me mad, no, outright angry! 

Consider this; is it profiling when a cop rolls up on some guy standing on the street corner at night in Chicago or New York with his "homies" and confronts him? He's just standing around, right? So why even approach them? Profiling of street drug dealers is what it is.

You see a woman walking down the street dressed all skimpy, so is she a prostitute? Why confront her at all if she's just standing around? Oh, that's right, it's illegal to loiter!  THAT is the cops "probable cause", just like a traffic stop is cause.

If I had hair, I'd be pulling it out right now! The insane bias of the federal government is just...insane.

I'd like that judge to live in Mesa or Chandler, or south Phoenix for a year and see what he thinks afterwards. Drive through Mesa in the mornings and see what you see. Those "workers" are everywhere! At every convenience store, standing on the corners, sometimes a couple dozen at a time. And the feds are telling me those people are citizens? Are they not loitering like a drug dealer or "street walker"? Of course they are.

But you cannot implement an invasion if your local police are pulling over people and checking immigration status!
