The Recent Illegal Immigrant Flushout at Employers Will Be More Than Cosmetic If Butler County’s Sheriff Has His Way

Unfortunately, there is reason to believe the current enforcement moves against employers nationwide are window dressing, as Michelle Malkin’s post from yesterday indicated, and as her post today is already beginning to prove.

Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones, who I covered earlier this year, won’t be satisfied with the catch-and-release games Michelle has picked up on:

• First, he wants us to “Hold Legislators Accountable” on Election Day. Good idea — Bill Pierce gets it on illegal immigration, short-term and long-term; Mike DeWine doesn’t. If you’re in the GOP, vote accordingly on May 2.
• Second, as WKRC-TV is reporting (HT S.O.B. Alliance member Porkopolis), Jones is trying to bring the full force of his public-relations and law-enforcement authority to bear:
  

  Butler County Sheriff Launches Boycott Over Illegal Immigrants

  Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones Friday will launch a boycott of companies he says hire illegal immigrants.

  The sheriff also tells Local 12 he is winning a fight with Washington, and now the feds will help pay the cost of keeping illegal immigrants in the county jail.

  The sheriff’s office says it spent more than $23,000 jailing 30 undocumented prisoners in December.

No word on how much “help” is being provided by the Feds, but taxpayers of Butler County should be grateful that it’s more than what it has been previously — zero.

And wait until other jurisdictions find out that Butler County is getting help.

Maybe when our Washington lawmakers see the federal treasury being drained because of reimbursements to states and localities for taking care of a problem the feds have allowed to fester, we’ll start getting concrete solutions. Maybe.
