The illegal immigrants arrested in the Waterpark sweeps including Golfland/Sunsplash have been indicted. Its not clear at this point if Golfland Enterprises would be the first company to be indicted under the new employer sanctions law. Interestingly enough, those who have been arrested are being held without bond, which is the results of the passage of Proposition 100 in 2006 (I had to look it up). I believe that Russell Pearce sponsored both that law and the employer sanctions law as well, so it looks to me like he is actually successfully doing something about immigration in Mesa.
I know that a lot of people have strong feelings about Pearce, but you have to admit that when you read about things like 36 people found in a drop house in his neck of the woods, its not all that surprising that people want something done about it.
We'll see how this plays out, especially since someone just sent me this interesting link regarding Kevin Gibbons. It looks like Kevin Gibbons owned INMIGRACIÓN SIN BARRERAS (literally, Immigration without barriers) until January 10, 2008. Then, a little over a month later, he filed his committee to run for the Senate.

Pearce is doing something about it but it comes at the expense of tax payers. When an unfunded mandate is passed it possibly diverts funds that could go to support schools, community programs and activities for our youth that have been cut over the years. There is not even money to train Mesa Police on to handle undocumented or documented immigrants.
I believe we need to provide the funding and a workers program for our communities to deal with this issue.
