Yes! Then perhaps American would be informed inmates are so hot - their shoes are melting.

No! I agree with Sheriff Joe Arpaio, "Does anyone feel sorry for them?"

From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
It's amazing that we jail illegals, but do nothing to the employers who knowingly hire them
I'm new to Arizona, and live in Maricopa County. After hearing this story, I called the offices of Jan Brewer, Trent Franks, and John Kyl. I was informed that they have nothing to do with, or say about, Arpaio's outrageous treatment of his fellow human beings. I told them that anyone who doesn't vigorously condemn this treatment is offering de facto consent, and they should be ashamed of themselves. It is so hot here that I can barely stand going out to the laundry room to throw a load in the washing machine. I cannot even begin to describe the intensity of the heat, and the thought that any person would be imprisoned outdoors in these conditions is horrible to contemplate. If they can do it to anyone, they can do it to me. There is no doubt in my mind that this is torture, and anyone who goes along with it is a disgrace to the human race.
I'd be interested in knowing how many prisoners get heat stroke or related illnesses from heat exposure. And, yes, employers that knowingly hire illegal immigrants should bear some of the responsibility and not just fined. Fining them is the easy way out for them.
Added comment re. the question, "Does anyone feel sorry for them?" I do.
Jail and heavily Fine the employers not workers ! That will end US illegal labor problem real fast Reagan gave total amnesty in 1986 but left US border wide open What do you think was his motive ? More cheap labor for Corps. GOP has not changed just gotten much much worse, more devious & much more greedy. Obama admin has deported more illegals than Bush did in 8 long yrs
US justice system sucks Money is speech Corps are persons Boy are we ever screwed up 1981 Reaganomics Bush 1-2 Cheney- 2008- many years under the GOldman Greenspan Rubin Sommers Paulson 's FED / years under control of very con courts / judges led to global disaster / crash / depression / TARP / 2 long wars based on Bush's fear, lies and immense war profits. God Bless America !
He's had at least one person die from heat exposure in his tent city.
This is awful! It is terrorism! If this were American Citizens caught in some foreign country, we would be demandinng our government to get the realeased. The sheriff, the governor, elected State legislatures, etc. should all be held accountable. I bet if the ACLU had more money they would intercede.
