Pedro Guzman has been an American citizen all his life. Yet in 2007, the 31-year-old Los Angeles native - in jail for a misdemeanor, mentally ill and never able to read or write - signed a waiver agreeing to leave the country without a hearing and was deported to Mexico as an illegal immigrant.

Maricopa County Sheriff’s deputies busted eight suspected illegal immigrants Wednesday in a Glendale house, where detectives were lead during the investigation of a homicide that occurred on Saturday.

Gabriel Hernandez is known to his friends as “Chilango.” The maintenance man tools around in a golf cart at the mobile home park where he works, and often sings along to the Mexican music blaring from the stereo system he rigged to it.

A man driving illegal immigrants to California was kidnapped in front of five witnesses Wednesday, but they gave police so little information that they can’t look for him.

Arrest illegal immigrants. Send the National Guard to monitor the border. Build a wall. Eliminate jobs.

Twelve illegal immigrants were arrested Monday in Mesa as Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio continued his efforts to arrest illegal border crossers under the state’s antismuggling law.

Facts and figures are flying as debate heats up over a proposed new state law to discourage illegal immigration.

Finally, our Arizona government has dared to protest that the 14^th amendment needs to be changed. Because of the direction our society is heading, the 14^th amendment does not correctly classify how the United States has evolved. The states on the border of Mexico are battling a highly complicated illegal alien issue. The 14th amendment states “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States,” although this has worked for hundreds of years, the flourishing issue of illegal parents with legal children by a new ratification of the 14^th amendment. If a child of illegal parents is born in the United States, the child should not be left here alone with citizenship while their parents are deported; therefore, the child should be sent back to his home country with his family. The United States cannot afford to provide and support these children with taxpayers’ money. In the long run, it would be most beneficial for both parties to adapt the amendment to our society’s changes. 

I am currently a United States citizen and have lived in Arizona my whole life.  As illegal’s flood into Arizona, many rules, amendments, and regulations have been questioned and threatened. Not only are state leaders wanting to change the regulations of Arizona, they want to change the original 14^th amendment, ratified on July 9, 1868. Our founding fathers wrote this national document to classify the United States as an honorable, prideful, and respectable free country. Why would we want to change that?  The 14^th amendment states, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subjected to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.”  Therefore we cannot take away a person’s citizenship based on their parent’s home country.  A child born from two illegal aliens should still have the same rights and citizenship as any other normal American family. The rights of the 14^th amendment declare, “No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of the citizens of the Unites States,” therefore, the urge to change original amendment would be unconstitutional and against everything the United States prides itself upon—the free nation.

A big Valley newspaper's editorial board expressed the usual disinformation and pretense of illegal immigration supporters in a recent editorial.

Imagine how old, one-bullet Barney Fife would handle the immigration problem in Mayberry, particularly if Sheriff Andy was out of town. Probably no one would be safe from Barney's digging to find whether they actually were citizens, even the mayor, and certainly swarthy visitors. Let me see your driver's license and your birth certificate.

Without a word of debate, the House on Tuesday gave preliminary approval to a series of changes in state law designed to combat illegal immigration.

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office announced Wednesday the arrests of 35 suspected illegal immigrants.
