From Sheriff Joe’s twitter page:
“I want the public to call 1-800-4SONORA & demand to know the meaning of this ad that was in the AZ Republic
PHOENIX – An advertisement in the Friday edition of The Arizona Republic is raising some eyebrows.
The ad, sponsored by VisitMexico.com, shows a close up of a man with binoculars with the caption reading, “In Sonora, we are looking for people from Arizona.”
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio says people should call the Mexican Tourism offices at 1-800-4SONORA and ask what the ad means.
“Are you going to racial profile me in Mexico, am I going to jail for two years in Mexico for violating the immigration laws in Mexico, will I be safe in Mexico,” Arpaio asked.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
Arizona is under assault.
There is also this in comparison :
Mexico’s President Philip Calderon, who has insulted every American with his total disrespect for U.S. sovereignty and the rule of law, was treated to a formal and lavish Whitehouse dinner by the Obamas.By contrast, the Prime Minister of Israel, our closest friend and most dependable ally, was subjected to snubbs and insults during his visit to the Obama Whitehouse.Obama “walked out” of a meeting with PM Netanyahu to have his own dinner. Unlike the normal treatment a visiting head of state reiceves at the Whitehouse, there was no pomp and photo, and no dinner for visiting PM Netanyahu. Both Calderon and Obama have shown total disrespect for America’s sovereignty and rule of law.
umm those self-serving socialist jerks opened the door and actions have consequences. The power of the pen rules…sit back and wait for our wonderful patriots to bombard “The Arizona Republic” with op eds of their own. I’ll get the popcorn, Chrissie.
Are they looking for Arizonians or any American will do. Thats what it sounds like to me.
This is the second threat. first they were going to kill Americans with Axes and shovels. Now they are going to get us in sonora, big Friggin deal. Mexico can’t afford a boycott, so that leaves the Mexicans to come here and start kidnapping citizens and taking them south. Which will eventually lead to a second War with Mexico. Only this time no treaties, nothing but unconditional surrender.
I’m hoping the other 17 states get these laws into high gear and get ’em passed quickly. I hate it that AZ is out there by themselves. Mt mother-in-law lives near the front down there. Benson AZ. What a bunch of un-American a-holes we have in D.C. to let this get out of control.
Jan, they sure have, they have put American lives in danger and obama leads the way doing that.
Mark, my guess is any American, good point.
Jim,thanks for sharing about your mother-in-law being so close to this area. I agree Jim !!!
