On Thursday night, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio conducted a raid of the Burlington Coat Factory in the Arizona Mills Mall.
He arrested three undocumented workers — and we stress the word “workers.”
With the huge number of un-served, felony warrants in Maricopa County, and the coyotes and drug smugglers moving hundreds of people and tons of drugs through the county every day, many people say — as they often do after one of Joe’s raids — using the resources of the Sheriff’s Office to target people who, legally speaking, are small potatoes, is a waste of time.
On the other side of the coin, some people say every little bit helps.
