How does one racially profile a criminal? Gordon is the one trying to incite racial tensions!?

It sounds to me like Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon is the one trying to incite racial tensions! How does one racially profile a criminal?

Illegal immigration is a crime; we should arrest them wherever and whenever they are found. An overwhelming segment of Maricopa County citizens believe that Sheriff Joe is enforcing the laws he was elected to enforce.

Contrary to the mayor's opinion, the sheriff is not neglecting other felons. He is housing a bunch of felons not of color. His deputies are acting responsibly, doing their job of fairly enforcing the laws. Just get off his back, let him do his job. Those acting contrary to the law are acting illegally and are subject to arrest and prosecution

Another cheap, opportunistic politician playing to the special interests that don't have the interests of our country at heart. He and other demagogues like Nancy Pelosi are traitors to the country they represent.

illegals come in all colors. mayor gordon should be made to resign. maybe he is the real hater here.

Filberto needs to get recalled. He is the one who is dragging Arizona down. Funny Gordon wants Chinese,Whites and other races paraded around;lest he forgets that everyone in the chain gain already is...and not his precious illegals either.

Lets face it hispanics are dominate in the SW and he is obviously pandering for votes.
He has no Huevos (as someone put) or he would be supporting the sheriff in his county and enforce immigration laws instead of pandering to the illegal aliens. If laws were enforced the sheriff would not be forced to spend so much time rounding up illegals.

One thing you clearly missed is that it's only the Hispanics that are being pulled over and taken into custody with minor violations......one violation was "FISHING WITHOUT A LICENSE". and while all the violent criminals skip on by. The immigration plan Arpaio is suppose to be working with, states that it's inteneded for hard criminals, not people with minor violations.......more proof that Joe Arpaio doesn't have the HUEVOS to go after the real bad guys. So my answer to you is NO! Gordon is not trying to incite racial tension, he is trying to stop it just like many many other people.

"We've got a sheriff who is happy to zip-tie anyone who looks illegal, whatever that means. He says that he can tell if someone is likely to be illegal . . . 'by how they're dressed and where they're coming from,' " Gordon said, according to a copy of his remarks. "Well then, why do they all have brown skin? I'm not kidding here, but where are the Canadians? The Asian? The Europeans? Why don't we see them being paraded around like circus animals? He's (racially) profiling."

Arpaio has created a "Sanctuary County" for felons.

"We have, in this county, a sheriff who won't serve a warrant, but never passes up an opportunity to use Charles Barkley as a prop, to extend an absurd offer to house Paris Hilton in a tent, or to squander scarce manpower on a goofy reality television show that ties up dozens of sworn officers who, I'm sure, would rather be doing real work," Gordon said.
