Sheriff Jones — November 15, 2007, 5:15 pm
The time for action is NOW!
I have sent a letter to the Ohio Speaker of the House along with a copy of a local newspaper article citing a poll taken by Quinnipiac University of Ohio residents opinions on issues regarding illegal aliens. The results reflect what I have been saying for two years - Ohio leadership needs to address the issue of illegal aliens in Ohio!
The poll shows that the vast majority of Ohioans oppose the government paying for the welfare of illegal aliens in our great state and favor building a wall on the Mexican border. I’m suggesting if the government won’t address the issue, then perhaps some citizen groups can take up the issue and get it on a state ballot!
A copy of one of the letters I sent can be read by clicking on the image.

Yes. This debate is just about exhausted. We need to evolve this fight beyond words. Offence not defense and all that.
I’m fairly new to this blog so at the risk of repeated info for readers, are there any local resources in addition to FAIR to help us get this state ballot ball rolling?
I fear simply “calling our reps†goes only so far in affecting their actions.
And great show on Sunday Newsmakers, Sheriff!
You should go on Lou Dobbs on CNN to discuss what you witnessed at the border and your effort to get the State of Ohio to address the issue of illegal immigration. He talks about this issue every night and I think you would be a welcome guest on their show sheriff.
PLEASE, PRIOR TO RELEASING YOUR STATEMENTS PLEASE CHECK FOR SPELLING ERRORS. I ENTERTAINED MYSELF READING YOUR DESCRIPTION TO THE VISIT AT THE BORDER, AND THOUGHT IT WAS HILARIOUS THE WAY YOU STATED THAT MOST IMMIGRANTS MAKE IT TO OHIO, I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THEY STAYED IN CLOSER AREAS. I PRIDE MYSELF OF BEING AN AMERICAN CITIZEN, BUT YOUR TRAIN OF THOUGHT SHAMES ME.
John Husted is to worried about which lobbyist is going to pay his way for this years trip to the BCS National Champsionship game to be bothered with a legitimate issue such as this at this time of year. Nice try though!
I am so glad we have Sheriff Jones and hope he will continue to stand up for Americans. I hope the illegals will be deported and with their families.
“To all Illegal immigrants, Illegal aliens, undocumented immigrants and visa over-riders:
Thanks for visiting America. Now it is the time for you to leave. You are hereby urged to return to your home country voluntarily. You have 30 days from today to leave America. If you leave within the 30 days, you will have the ability, like any other, to apply for a visa, or other methods of legal entry to the United States. If you do not leave on your own, within the allotted time frame of 30 days, you will be caught, documented, and put into a national database of known offenders, that will prevent you from ever applying for legal status in the United States. It will be the mission of all American law enforcement, from local law enforcement all the way up to the federal level, to check the immigration status of anyone, for whatever reason, and deport all Illegal immigrants by any means necessary, with no possibility of ever returning to the United States, even for a visit, if you are caught here illegally. I hope this clears up any misconception. The goal is to make it so that there will be no more deaths of Americans because of Illegal immigration. There will be no more nonsense arguments like “Illegal aliens have the right to be here”, there will be no Law suits condoned or allowed for illegal aliens. American civil rights are for American citizens. Again, you have the right to leave now, and if you don’t leave within the 30 day period, you will be caught; you will be documented, you will be deported, and you will be denied re-entry on any basics. This IS the only form of Amnesty you will get from this administration.”
My question to Sheriff Jones is how does he feel about the Hamilton Police Chief seen in videos on Youtube basically welcoming and “embracing” Illegal immigrants. The Police Chief claims he needs to solve crimes, but in my opinion there would no opportunity for Illegal immigrants to commit crime in Hamilton, Ohio if the initial law of “illegal” immigration was enforced. Sort of a Pandoras box. Solve crime that would never have happened if Sheriff Jones would have been able to enforce the law in the first place. It just does not make sense to me.
I have lived in Hamilton, Ohio only for 8 years, the city has a lot of possibilities if someone would just take the incentive. I have lived in multiple cities in my life time, and to me Hamilton, Ohio seems to be the town that time has forgotten. We have beautiful buildings downtown, but no night life, no restaurants, and on after 6pm on weekdays and on weekends downtown Hamilton is a ghost town.
I have met a lot of poor people that Hamilton, Ohio seems to care less about. If Hamilton cared they would do anything to bring new jobs to the city. I actually heard from a taxi driver that a Pharmaceutical company came to talk to the city a few years back. They wanted to bring a facility to Hamilton, Ohio that would create jobs and where willing to even sponsor a Bus System. According to the cab driver when he picked up the company representative, and then picked him up again to take back to the hotel. The representative from the City did not even bother to show up, twice. I guess it was very important to the city to have a place for the citizens have a place to work and do better for themselves and their families.
So how many people have had their construction jobs taken by illegal immigration in Butler County? It has seemed for a long time every time I drove past a new housing development all you saw was Mexicans. Maybe it is not a big deal to the people that run the city, they have jobs, a nice house, and ability to feed their families, but what about the family that lives week to week, day by day, and now an illegal immigrant has taken their job and livelihood. To me this shows me the city does not care about the “poor” people in Hamilton, Ohio. So when an illegal immigrant takes a American Citizens job, and the city of Hamilton refuses to do anything to bring new jobs to the city. Or jobs go out to the Township where there is not public transportation to get to, or public transportation to get to Butler Tech to retrain for a new job, what is a man or women supposed to do? It becomes a chain reaction, that increases crime, homelessness, inability to pay child support, and takes a toll on county public services.
My suggestion to Sheriff Jones, because he is the only one who seems to care about the people of Hamilton, Ohio is that Sheriff Jones should run for the office of the Mayor. It would give him the power and ability to change things for the better.
Sheriff Jones for Mayor!
