GUADALUPE, ARIZ. — Six months ago, this town of 5,500 took a stand against the most powerful lawman in the state.
As Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's deputies swept through town during a controversial operation searching for illegal immigrants, Mayor Rebecca Jimenez confronted the 76-year-old sheriff and told him he wasn't wanted.
The town, founded by Yaqui Indians a century ago, became a symbol of a grass-roots rejection of Arpaio's tough anti-immigration tactics.
But now, Guadalupe is having second thoughts about how it fought the sheriff.
After the confrontation, Arpaio struck back by canceling his contract to patrol the one-square-mile town, forcing officials to search for another agency to protect Guadalupe.
Jimenez, 36, was replaced as mayor, and the city's new leaders are trying to find some way to persuade Arpaio to stay.
"This town really does need him," said Janice LaBorin, 25, a home healthcare worker. "There are too many criminals and little gangbangers here."
Well, what did they expect? We only want you to prosecute certain types of criminals, only enforce some laws? The real world doesn't work that way.....and I'm glad that the little town of Guatalupe has finally found that out.
It is obvious Mayor Rebecca Jimenez had an agenda and was pandering the Illegals as well as the Illegal Lovers. It is also very obvious she had absolutely no interest or concern for the safety and well being of the legal citizens of Guadalupe. Although probably protected from local prosecution, I see no reason why she should not be subject to Federal Prosecution for Aiding and Abetting Common Criminals.
Also, I cannot help but wonder if she isn't an Anchor Baby!

I totally agree, it is aiding and abetting. It also wouldn't surprise me if she's an anchor. They have the same disdain for this country as their illegal parents.

Jimenez, who said she never asked Arpaio to stop policing Guadalupe, was ousted from her post for reasons unrelated to the confrontation. She remains on the town council but was replaced as mayor by Frankie Montiel, who vowed not to question Arpaio

That's the biggest irony in all of this. If not for the abuse of the 14th Amendment said anchors would be living in a tin foil shanty in mexico, raggedy, twice as ignorant and starving to death. Yet like mexican nationals they hate everything American except its handouts and opportunities.
I'm sure they like that Joe Arpaio is tough on crime. But, most definently probably don't want him there because of his hardcore stance and action on illegal immigrants.
