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.
