What percentage of day laborers are illegal human beings—99.9? And if plaintiff Manuel de Jesus Ortega Melendres is neither an illegal human being, nor a day laborer, how does that disprove Maricopa County Sheriff's Deputy Louis DiPietro’s empirically justified belief that most day laborers are illegal human beings? Reconquista propagandist Uriel Garcia is either damning Deputy DiPietro for not perjuring himself, or asserting that it is not the case that most day laborers in Maricopa County are illegals. But the latter assertion would be a bald-faced lie. So, is Garcia a bald-faced liar, or just angry that DiPietro isn't one?
A retired Mexican school teacher who happened to be in the country legally, on a tourist visa, just happened to go to a day laborer pick-up spot, just to hitch a ride. And then he hooks up with the ACLU? What are the odds of that, a billion to one? Can you say, criminal conspiracy?
And why does plaintiff Melendres even have standing to sue? How can he go to a foreign country, and sue law enforcement, on such specious grounds? As killer Don King would say, only in America!
And get a load of those comments. Are all readers of the PNT racial socialists, or do the censors only permit racial socialists to comment? I wrote a comment under my own name, so let’s see if the censors let it through.

In the law-enforcement experience of Maricopa County Sheriff's Deputy Louis DiPietro, most day laborers are undocumented, and usually are from Mexico or Central America.
That was the deputy's testimony in the American Civil Liberties Union's big Melendres v. Arpaio racial profiling case, which kicked off today at the Sandra Day O'Connor U.S. Courthouse.
"From you're [sic] experience most day laborers are undocumented?" ACLU lawyer Andre Segura asked DiPietro.
The deputy simply answered, "Yes."
Seems pretty cut and dry, evidence of the prejudiced policing [Huh?! There we go again, with “prejudiced” facts.] at issue in the trial. But not to Tom Liddy, a lawyer with the Maricopa County Attorney's Office and part of the legal team defending Sheriff Joe in the five year-old case.
"He did not say that," insisted Liddy outside the federal courthouse after the day's proceedings. "He most certainly did not."
Spinning like dervish in a thunderstorm, Liddy offered an alternative interpretation of DiPietro's monosyllabic response.
"[DiPietro] said in his experience, obviously as a law enforcement officer, when he came in contact with day laborers in those operations...[they] were undocumented migrants," Liddy stated. "[But] he most certainly did not say that he had an assumption that all day-laborers are illegals."
DiPietro's racial [sic] assumptions are important. In September 2007, the MCSO's infamous Human Smuggling Unit was conducting an operation in Cave Creek near a church parking lot where day laborers were accustomed to gather looking for work.
[But unless “undocumented” constitutes a racial category, neither DiPietro nor Liddy said anything about race. Then again, are we supposed to ignore the fact that virtually 100 percent of the men at the sites are mestizo, and virtually 100 percent of them are illegal human beings, that the sites were created for or taken over by mestizos, and that if a non-mestizo showed up there, looking for work, that the mestizos would beat the hell out of him, and run him off, if he’s a man, and brutally rape her, if she’s a woman?]
Manuel de Jesus Ortega Melendres, a plaintiff in the case, was at the parking lot and needed a ride to Scottsdale, according to the complaint.
[Yeah, right.]
A friend arranged a ride with a white male in a pick-up truck.
[What friend and what “white male”? Which one of the two was from the ACLU? Both?]
The HSU observed Melendres, 53, get in the vehicle with three other men. Almost immediately, DiPietro was ordered by the unit to follow the truck and look for probable cause to stop it.
DiPietro testified that he followed the truck for about a mile and a half before stopping it for speeding.
However, he did not cite the white driver, but instead detained Melendres, who was promptly turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
But it so happened that Melendres, a retired school teacher, was in the country legally on a tourist visa and was not a day laborer.
Oops.
DiPietro testified at the time of the operation he had reasonable suspicion to believe that Melendres was involved in a possible human-smuggling case.
At the time of the stop, the deputy called HSU Deputy Carlos Rangel to help determine Melendres' immigration status. This resulted in about 8 hours of detainment for Melendres, a Mexican national who possessed a valid visa to be in this country.
Melendres was soon released by ICE officials.The white driver, however, was let go on DiPierto's discretion.
This 2007 incident is what prompted the original lawsuit, which over time has added four other plaintiffs, victims of alleged racial profiling.
[“This 2007 incident is what prompted the original lawsuit…” The hell, it did.]
In late 2011, Snow certified the complaint as a "class action" lawsuit, covering, "All Latino persons who, since January, 2007, have been or will be in the future, stopped, detained, questioned or searched by MCSO agents while driving or sitting in a vehicle on a public roadway or parking area in Maricopa County, Arizona."
[Just “Snow,” out of nowhere? Not “District Court Judge G. Murray Snow”? This Garcia is some professional writer, at some professionally edited rag. They don’t understand little matters like the difference between “you’re” and “your,” or how to introduce someone into a story. Or is criticizing literary incompetence also “racist”?
As I noted earlier, they sure found the right judge.
“[District Court Judge G. Murray Snow] in December ordered the office not to detain people based only on reasonable belief or knowledge they are illegal aliens.”
A ban on “reasonable belief or knowledge”? He sounds like a lifetime member of the ACLU.]
The plaintiffs are not seeking monetary damages. Rather, they are seeking "injunctive relief," essentially an order from the court telling the MCSO to take steps to end the agency's racial-profiling ways. They also want a court-appointed monitor, to make sure the outlaw agency complies.
[“A court-appointed monitor” would mean a takeover of the department.]
Another victim of racial profiling who also testified today was Victor Vasquez, a Mexican-American, who was pulled over during a crime-suppression sweep in June 2008 in Mesa.
As he was driving to a local restaurant with his wife he was stopped by an MCSO deputy on the pretext of a cracked windshield. As soon as he stopped the first question the deputy asked was if Vasquez spoke English.
"It was funny that he asked me that question," Vasquez testified today. "[Because] I felt like I was being singled out."
[There was nothing at all “funny” about it. The area is teeming with illegal alien mestizos who can’t speak English. The deputy was using intelligence, but that, too, is apparently “racist.”]
He was. As the ACLU has alleged, the MCSO has for several years now been making assumptions about people with brown skin, who may or may not speak English.
[Garcia has not shown any way in which Vasquez was a “victim” of anything. If just getting pulled over constitutes “victimization,” that tells us more about Vasquez, the ACLU, and Garcia, than it does about the MCSO.
“Who may or may not speak English”? Garcia just qualified his statement into irrelevancy. If he had merely said “making assumptions about people with brown skin, who may not speak English,” he would at least logically be on firmer ground. Of course, the assumption that someone skin who can’t speak English s an illegal human being is a statistically valid one. But the lawsuit is on behalf of all Hispanics, legal and illegal alike, which means that all Hispanics in Maricopa County are racially profiling the MCSO. And that Judge Snow certified the case under those terms gave away his bias, right from the get-go.
What might be the MCSO’s “assumption[s] about people with brown skin, who may” speak English? That they’re legally here? But how is that a bad assumption? Does Garcia think that finding one brown-skinned person who speaks English but isn’t in the country legally would somehow refute the assumption? So, policemen aren’t allowed to have statistically valid assumptions, and must instead be perfect? Garcia and his allies at La Raza, the ACLU, etc. clearly seek to handcuff law enforcement, on behalf of their criminal reconquista friends.]
On orders from Arpaio and his henchmen, MCSO deputies use traffic violations to stop Hispanics and ask them about their immigration status.
[What’s wrong with that? Are the deputies supposed to ignore Hispanics who violate traffic laws?]
You know, like the way DiPietro used "speeding" to pull over a white guy in a truck and ask a brown passenger if he was in the country legally.
[What were the odds that a white guy picking up a mestizo from a site for illegal alien mestizo day laborers was in the country illegally?]
It just so happened that he was. Not that it made a difference to Arpaio's boys in beige.
[Someone needs to ask Garcia why he supports criminal invaders, and opposes law enforcement from … enforcing the law.]

Seems pretty clear to me what Sheriff's Deputy Louis DiPietro is saying, he thinks their all wet backs.
But of course he's not not racial profiling for Bozo JoHo, ROTFLOL...

I wonder what the number of stops of vehicles with cracked windshields for non Latinos by the MSCO would be. Assuming the logic is that only Latinos drive with defective cars.
Then if only Latinos make the reporting stats and not the others, then why is someone only keeping a tallly of Latino stops?

LD25 I got stopped by MCSO in my band van going to a gig in Cave Creek - I'm white and my other band members were black. My band members were obviously intoxicated and I had also had a couple beers. My band members were, unkindly, making rude comments to the officer thinking it was funny (beer comics) - it was not!!! Anywhoo. They let me go without a citation because a landscaping truck passed by and OFF they went. They weren't looking for criminals OR undocumented
immigrants they were looking for brown-skinned Hispanic people to pull over in the hopes that those people would be undocumented

fairymagic13 YCSO does this a lot too. Although I am not sure if they were looking for people with warrants, without insurance, or suspended licenses or something else, because when they pull me over, they give me a warning about a brake light or something like that.. and then they drive off, since everything checks out..

Mr Liddy seems to have taken lessons on spinning from the MCSO Super Goon, himself. It appears the manure is hitting the proverbial fan and, unfortunately, we the taxpayers are about to have to absorb it, as usual. That said, Judge Snow is no dummy and he's not intimidated by, or fearful of, the likes of the MCSO shurf and his merry band of misfits.

Now, if the plaintiffs can get hold of all the bigoted e-mails sent by disgraced, corrupt, narcissistic and mentally sick Pearce, in passing BS1070, a Nuremberg-era law designed to terrorize Latinos, then it's a win-win case for Mr. Melendres.
What really should happen is the Justice Department needs to team up with the plaintiffs in this case. The DOJ is essentially asking a federal court for the same thing: An end to the MCSO shurf and the MCSO's racial-profiling ways.
Then afterwards, a nice federal criminal indictment should be handed up... And it's an easy re-election for President Obama....

so, could some of the Hispanic men that try and get day laborer jobs have valid visas which would make them thus legal citizens? Hmm.
[Genius, a valid visa doesn't make you a legal citizen. Legal citizens don't need visas to be here.]

ptcgaz Well, it would not make them legal citizens, but it would make them legally eligible to be seeking employment, assuming you're talking about work visas.
And if people think that the work visa program should end because it allows non-citizens to work in the United States, they should go out and do a google search on "shortage of immigrant farm workers" and see what kind of impact the lack of these individuals is having on consumer prices and, in particular, smaller agriculture business that are seeing their crops rot in the fields or on the trees due to lack of laborers. US Citizens find farm work beneath them and won't do it.

wherewasi yeah that's what I meant. Because after all if they have work visas they are here legally no matter what the racist bastards say. As for the farms and stuff, I don't know about that section of our economy much to be honest, except to know that when you go to McDonald's most of the food comes from companies that use illegals for meat processing etc...

This article really got my blood boiling. How dare these illegal immigrants even complain about anything. They are here illegally. They are criminals. They destroy American values simply by their illegal existence in this country.
And since when is 'profiling' a bad thing? It helps the police do their job. If the police see a bunch obvious day laborers on the side of the street, are they not right to think they are likely illegals? Are the police supposed to stop groups of white men in business suits and ask them for their papers? No. Because the white guys in business suits are likely citizens.
Racial profiling is simply a tool like any other which allows police to understand that something might not be right. For example, if the police see a large group of black youth hanging around on a street corner acting suspicious, why shouldn't the police have the right to simply check it out and maybe ask a few questions? To make it equal, should the police also stop and question a small group of senior citizens? Obviously not. This would make no sense. Profiling exists because there are statistics and other proof which indicates that certain groups of people are more likely to be involved in crime than others.
I am so tired of seeing blacks or Hispanics being arrested legitimately and then claiming they were racially profiled, therefore their crimes should not count.
Over the last 2 days, there has been a story going on CNN which is really pissing me off. (I onloy watch CNN to see just how the left is distorting things).
Nicholas, you might be interested in this story. It involves a black college student who was skate boarding in the street and the police stopped him. At this point CNN shows a cell phone vid of 4 cops on top of the greasy looking youth and supposedly shows the cops punching him. (The police say he was resisting arrest, but conveniently there is no video of that part of it). And guess who shows up as the boys lawyer. That's right. You guessed it. Our good buddy Benjamin Crump. As soon as I saw him there, I knew what was coming next. Crump immediately spins his race hoaxing story and says in front of the cameras "Was my client stopped because he was on the wrong side of the road or because he was the wrong RACE". And of course CNN mentions racial profiling. Big surprise there.
Anyway, I will be following this story just to see how Crump further warps the truth.
