Title
Illegal Immigration Journal - MCAO
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Illegal Immigration Journal was started by Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas in order to provide a comprehensive resource where the public, law enforcement and political leaders can find updated news and information on illegal immigration. Andrew Thomas ran for Maricopa County Attorney in 2004 on a platform that included cracking down on the problems relating to illegal immigration in Arizona. Shortly after entering office, he hosted the first Southwest Conference on Illegal Immigration, Border Security and Crime. During his first year, he successfully lobbied for state legislation to make human smuggling a crime, and has since used the new felony law to prosecute illegal immigrants who use the services of coyotes. In 2006, he led the effort to pass Proposition 100, which prohibits bail for illegal immigrants accused of serious crimes, with 78% voting yes. His office has aggressively prosecuted non-residents for voting felonies.
