First let me say I’m a proponent of LEGAL immigration. If it weren’t for legal immigration I either wouldn’t be exist or I’d be working the grapevines of Calabria Italy.

There’s a Sheriff in Ohio that is gaining a reputation for having an outspoken view on ILLEGAL immigrants. His name is Sheriff Richard Jones from Butler County Ohio. Recently he posted six billboards (pictured here) that proclaim: “Hire an illegal — break the law!”. It’s about time.

From a story on the New York Times:

He also took out half-page advertisements in local newspapers to convey his message, and he set up a blog to promote a boycott of local businesses that employ illegal immigrants. The sheriff then opened a tip line so citizens could report any employers they suspected.

And right outside the sheriff’s office, yellow street signs read “Illegal Aliens Here,” with an arrow pointing to the adjoining jailhouse.

Enter the asswipes from the ACLU:

In May, Sheriff Jones sent his deputies to a construction site after a report that tension was brewing between American and immigrant workers. He detained 18 immigrants for questioning, prompting objections from the American Civil Liberties Union that he had overstepped his authority

As a result of his stance on illegals, Jones has been awarded the 2nd annual American Patriot Award. Since the Left and the Right can’t seem to agree on how to address this issue it’s nice to know there are law enforcement officials on the local level trying to combat the problem.
