A group of white agitators disrupted the peaceful march against Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his racial profiling practices. The crowd was sprayed by MCSO officers with pepper spray. Isn't spraying a crowd of Chicanos with pepper spray like spraying mayonnaise on the crowd at a Bruce Springsteen concert?
This situation has become so volatile and insulting that my only way to deal with it is to laugh and make jokes because I do not want to become as angry as I should be. The Chicano populace in Phoenix, AZ is not to be fucked with. A caged animal can only be poked and prodded for so long before it bites and that bite leads to a nation wide infection. Be warned gabachos - America cannot take the heat from a Chicano inferno.

Big March In Phoenix Aimed At Removing Sheriff Joe Arpaio
Demonstrators from across the country are gearing up to assemble in Phoenix, Arizona next Saturday to demand that Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio be removed from office. Arpaio has remained the top foe of immigrants living in the US and they’re ready to step up their fight.
The Los Angeles-based organization, National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON.org), is coordinating a mass march in downtown Phoenix and are calling for people who don’t live in Arizona to join them.
Arpaio’s office has been under investigation by the Department of Justice for alleged racial-profiling and unfair treatment of Latinos. The ACLU has also filed a number of lawsuits on behalf of clients who were targeted by Arpaio’s deputies based on their skin color.
Maricopa County had been granted the power to enforce immigration law by ICE in 2004, but Arpaio’s use of that power was overstepped. Over the years, claims of intimidation and harassment by his office raised red flags and in 2009 the DOJ initiated a probe against Arpaio in which he refused to cooperate.

Immigrant Enrollment In US Colleges
The American Dream is the concept that you can take your own initiative and forge your own way, as an autonomous individual, to a better life in this nation. Community colleges play a key role in the fulfillment of this dream. In a very real sense, the American Dream is a much stronger force in those who don’t yet live in America, and in those who’ve immigrated here. Those who have always lived in America already have access to the resources to go forth and create a more fruitful existence; for them, we might be more accurate in calling it the American Reality. Nowhere is the American Dream more alive than in those who have immigrated to the US. They’ve left their home, and oftentimes their family, in the very pursuit of this dream which we Americans esteem so highly. However, immigrants frequently come up against many obstacles to the fulfillment of this dream. For instance, there are millions of undocumented immigrants who are either denied enrollment to community colleges, or are forced to pay such high costs for tuition that it isn’t possible for them to enroll on their meager budget. For these people we might say that they came here in the pursuit of the American Dream, only to find the American Illusion.
Immigration is an issue which evokes some of the most passionate reactions from the peoples of the United States. The US has a rich history with immigration; our country was essentially established on a doctrine of open immigration. With an influx of immigration comes cheap labor, because there are suddenly more potential employees looking for work. According to basic laws of economics, when there is an increased supply of an item, and a static demand, the price one is willing to pay for that item will, naturally, decrease. With an increase of potential employees, and a static demand for those employees from employers, the value which the employers place on those they would employ drops according to these very laws. This is the primary reason why some US citizens have been opposed to new immigration going back hundreds of years. Those who oppose immigration typically do so because they claim that immigrants drive down wages and take American jobs.

Arpaio's Gestapo Tactics
Sheriff Joe Arpaio has gotten a little more efficient when it comes to rounding up Chicanos. His recent campaign consisted of holding 300 people, most of which were American citizens, under the gun until they proved their citizenship. Way to go, fuck face. Keep raping our constitution. I seriously doubt that the sheriff has even read this document he is suppose to "Uphold" as an elected official. Check out how ignorant this fool is when confronted by a PBS journalist.
