While this is certainly great news (and about time), I wasn't sure if anyone had seen this article:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38442769 Seems that since 2007, the "Maricopa County Sheriff's Office was responsible for the deportations or forced departure of 26,146 immigrants." That is 22.57% of the TOTAL number of deportations in the US during this time. Wow. The population of our lil town in 2009 is estimated at 18,636. Just Wow. I don't mean to sound dismissive in any way - if anything, I am astounded that the deportation numbers (and perspective vs. our town's population) were so high. To me, that speaks of the article's statement of "officers from a single Arizona county helped deport more than 26,000 immigrants from the U.S. through a federal-local partnership program that has been roundly criticized as fraught with problems." Fraught with problems? Ya think? Last edited by christie; 07-28-2010 at 11:46 AM. Reason: I seem to have issues with "quoting" today argh |
