Polk County (Fl) Sheriff Grady Polk left no doubts as to what he thinks about all the "scrums" taking place in various states over illegal immigration.
Transcript
Well, I don't call them undocumented
immigrants. I call them illegal
immigrants because that's what they are.
The reason they're not documented is
they're not legal. Okay? They're illegal
immigrants. 74% of the
illegal immigrants that we've detained
have have had criminal charges against
them. Okay. The other 26% were riding
with them. Okay? So, when we stop a car,
we run a warrants check on everybody in
the car. When you when there is a call
for service, we run a warrants check on
the victim, the suspect, and all the
witnesses. Okay? We call that that 26%
collateral. But three out of four of
them, three out of four of them have
committed another criminal charge.
Now think about that for a second. They
couldn't commit that crime if they
weren't here. But they did. So now
you're having to take your taxpayer
money and my taxpayer money
and pay for the prosecution of those
folks. Pay for the public defender that
defends them. pay for the jail and the
prison sentence depending on what the
charges are. So, and the
majority of the 26% that was left out of
the, you know, 74% of them had criminal
charges, they were what we call
collaterals. And most of them were with
the person committing the crime. And and
that's that's the numbers that that we
have so far.
So, how many
illegal immigrants have we arrested this
year? We've arrested 557
that have criminal charges as well as
they're here illegally. That's that's
just this year.
But here's the thing
that and let me focus on this and I'm I
know on social media people have already
t tuned out, but you need to tune back
in and listen to this.
The reason that
you see ICE flooding into Minnesota and
Minneapolis and into Los Angeles, into these big cities, is because they
refuse
to turn over the illegal immigrants who
are being arrested by the local police
department where there's outstanding ICE
warrants. If they would have simply cooperated instead of fighting back and pushing
back against the federal government,
instead of instead of violating the
federal law, which is what the these
leaders have done there, if they just
said, "Look, ICE, we don't want our
police like, you know, actively engaged
in ICE enforcement, but you can come in
our jails and as we make arrest, you can
go through your evaluation process
and remove those criminals that are
committing crime against the citizens of
the United States and against each
other,
you can remove them, then they wouldn't
be flooding these big blue areas with
all of these ICE agents.
So, it's the
policy and the laws that the California
and the Illinois and the Minnesota
and the Oregon and the Portlands in the
city, it's the laws that they've passed
that's created the environment for ICE
to have to go in there and do it all on
their own. And it puts the ICE agents at
additional risk.
The local law
enforcement officers have already taken
the risk to arrest these people. They're
in custody. They're locked up. They're
in a county lock up or a city lock up
some place or a state lock up for their
causes.
But yet they're telling the city, the
county, or the state prison system, turn
these illegals that have committed crime
back out into the community on our
people.
And so if ICE can't get help from the
state and the local folks, then they
have to send more resources in in order
to do the job.
All of this could have
been avoided. You don't see that happening in
Florida. You know why? Because we're
cooperating. And this same environment
could be in every one of those states
if the state had cooperated.
But instead, you've elected a bunch of
people there, governors
primarily, house and senate members,
mayors, city commissioners, county
commissioners,
that said, "Hey, we're going to let
these criminals that are here illegally
committing crime against the people of
the state of California or Minnesota or
wherever, we're going to allow them to
come back out into the community and
commit more crime against you rather
than turn them over to our federal
partners.
That's why you're seeing all
this scrum all over the nation.
That's why you're seeing it. If they
were cooperating like Florida was
cooperating,
there would not be the protests.
There would not be the conflict.
People wouldn't be angry.
They wouldn't be going to businesses
because they would be caught up like
they are in Florida when they're
committing crime and we turn them over
to ICE. They're already
caught. They're out of the country.
That's why you're seeing this.
It's
created by the law and the practice and
the policy of the the elected officials
at the state level, the county level,
and the city level telling them to
oppose federal law.
Now, why in the world you want those
people in those positions that think
it's all right to oppose the law, that
think more of the criminals than they do
the suspects? I don't know.
That's why we call this the free state
of Florida because we're for the people. They are for the criminals.

As much as I like Senator Kennedy, I've grown real tired of his comedy. This sheriff is just another grape on the vine who enjoys his own rhetoric.
Speaking of rhetoric and cute words...I bothered to look up the word scrum and it literally has no meaning attached to anything remotely akin to this little speech or its contents.
All illegal aliens are criminal illegal aliens.
That includes the economic asylum seekers who never showed back up to their asylum hearings when Biden opened the floodgates for them.
Anyone who has already been deported more than once does not deserve a flight back.
Instead we should use some of these old Russian oil tankers and barges. Fill them beyond capacity with criminal illegals and make sure they only have with half the food and water necessary for the journey.
Then send them back with half the fuel they need to complete the trip. Their own feral nature will solve the problem of their existence very quickly.
It’s what they deserve.
Only democrats support criminals over law abiding tax paying citizens.
He has pretty much summed up how we all feel. The problem is the whites and the blacks laid down and just gave up and quit working. Our own people gave up. Our people want the most for the least and the illegals saw that opportunity and took it and that’s why they flooded our country and know that in some places in our country they can do what they want.
Scrum: "a disorderly crowd of people or things".
They're not illegal immigrants. They're illegal aliens. Head 'em up; move 'em out.
Then start on the legal ones. MAFWA, Make America First World Again.
You pretty much summed up how many of us feel. Now, I’m in the construction business and you would not believe how nasty these people are and when I complain to the contractors to have the porta-johns cleaned every other day they don’t understand. This is the cold and flu season and the airborne and communicable sicknesses are abundant when you have unclean conditions
So what's this guy running for? Minnesota, California, New York, Illinois, and all the rest have their own law enforcement answerable to them. Is he proposing to expand his jurisdiction to cover those states or is he just pandering to his base and Mr. Trump? If so he prepared a good speech.
This country is forever divided. We are going to have to figure a way to peacefully transition to a place where the people who believe in a conservative way of life form a federation of states and those who believe in a different way of life form their own federation of states. The federal government provides for a limited amount of services, common defense, etc. No more federal welfare and other benefits. The individual states can decide for themselves what taxes will be levied and what they are used for.
Sounds radical, but the way things are going there will be a violent uprising in the future.
No. You are the problem. You RINOs let it get this bad. You let the cultural Marxist slowly turn the boiling pot to the point that we are almost cooked. Now it is going to take some hard choices to turn things around and take our country back from the illegals, the chicoms, the groomers, the traitors, and the grifters. And btw RINOs = TRAITORS
@5:01 If you are actually UPSET that the Somalian welfare fraudsters are being arrested and deported then you are WORSE than a RINO you are an open and unashamed TRAITOR!
ICE is a legitimate agency of the United States fulfilling a necessary, and I would say critical, role in the enforcement of long-standing immigration law. What astounds me are the people who stand against law, and choose the side of lawlessness.
Love that acronym! WAFWA!
And legal or illegal, I have another word for the invaders: BIOWEAPONS.
Sheriff Grady speaks from knowledge of the law, common sense, and experience. Why can't everyone else see it this clearly?
"Scrum: "a disorderly crowd of people or things"." A common term in some sports as well. The writer of this message has a clear understanding of the subject.
This is all by design.... Remember- Communism Never Sleeps...
5:21 is a troll. Nobody is that dumb.
5:01 The country has always been divided politically and socially but we are trying E Pluribus Unum (out of many one) but don't seem to have the guts to make it work. You may be right it's time to move on. Will the world be better or worse for it?
Term limits for every elected official. That is the only way to start us on the road back to normal. Deporting every person not here in our country legally. No exceptions for any reason. Demand all politicians fill out a net worth before and after each term. Stop the lifetime pay and insurance for politicians when the leave their position. Make a law if politicians do not work they do not get paid.
Soros and American communist groups have been tactically smart to get their candidates for Mayor, DA, AG and Governor in power so that local and state law enforcement has been gelded and criminals mollycoddled. Now, once elected, they are entrenched and supported by rent-a-mob protestors until Federal cops force a common sense outcome. Thanks, Leftists.
Sigh...I opposed illegal immigration and wanted to improve the process long before it was " fashionable" as an issue. We did have a " Y'all Come" policy for too long. The answer isn't to arrest someone without "probable cause"! It isn't to end " birthright" citizenship. IF we do that, how far back is good enough?
What's the difference between Nazi's deporting Jews living for generations in Germany to "camps" and us doing that here to anyone who doesn't "look right" or "sound right" to ICE?
And, do we really want peaceful protest and free speech a cause for arrest and throwing a snowball to be a crime? And, P.S. Our country prospered from cheap labor.
Only in the United States can a non-American can come to a Country commit a crime and not be deported! Example, I can’t go to Germany and do stupid shit and not get deported.
@ 8:43 AM - You can't go to Mexico and do it either. But, evidently, you can pass through undocumented on your way to the US.
Grady is a legend in his own mind which contains a huge ego.
“Scrum” is certainly related here. But even were it not, it happens all the time in English that words change meaning over time. Example: some people now use the word “scarf” to mean “to eat quickly”; e.g., “After we smoked KF’s weed, we scarfed us down some Taco Bell.”
Another example: The word “nice” originally meant “silly.” Over time it came to mean “precise” and “discriminating” or “discerning.” Its modern sense is now, as you know, “pleasant” or “agreeable.”
@5:01 PM is right. And @5:21 PM is more right.
Term limits? Hell, just vote against the sonzabitches. But Americans are locked into this two-party, lesser-of-two-evils, “Would you rather have Trump/Kamala” farce. Americans don’t vote for anyone; they vote against the other guy. Dump the two-party system and see some movement by the two bully parties to work on the struggles of Americans and not the struggle of getting re-elected.
Being in the country illegally is probable cause.
This country will never return to what you envision as normal. The transformation of this country, into who knows what, has been guaranteed. I only hope it can be done without war.
