Last Call

One man's internment camp is another man's "tent city" especially if that man is Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

The controversial Phoenix-area sheriff has teamed up with Arizona State Treasurer and candidate for governor Dean Martin to introduce an ambitious new plan for border security.

The Zero Tolerance plan includes a border fence and enhanced security, but proposes stronger detention policies than Martin's Republican rival, Gov. Jan Brewer.

Martin envisions a tent city to house the influx of illegal aliens expected to be arrested once the state's tough new immigration law goes into effect.

"I will work with Sheriff Joe to establish a statewide tent city specifically to house illegal aliens convicted of crimes in Arizona," Martin's plan reads.

Why imprison them when you can round them up and throw them in tents?  A lot cheaper and hey, none of that "due process" crap.  What crimes will they be convicted of?  Hey, that's not the point.  Point is they're illegals, so into the Joe's Happy Camp they go.  I expect to see a whole lot of Latinos suddenly facing littering, jaywalking, and loitering charges in Arizona...

Funny how that'll work out.
