Good decision. Sherrif Joe is being maligned in the press. Everything about this case is political. He got charged 2 weeks before election day, was refused a jury and the entire basis was that he was enforcing immigration laws which the feds refused to enforce and allegedly targeting hispanics even though nearly all illegals and half the people in Maricopa county are hispanics. It stands to reason that many of the people he pulled over for traffic violations were Mexican immigrants and when they didn't have ID they got brought in.  Illegal immigration is a huge problem in Arizona and the entire region. A shocking 75 percent of criminals on law enforcement's "Most Wanted" listd in Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Albuquerque, N.M., are also illegal immigrants. In addition, 53 percent of all investigated burglaries reported in California, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, and Texas have been perpetrated by illegal aliens.
In California, 25% of all state inmates were born in Mexico.
