A chilling audio tape with text, circulating by e-mail, has been reported that puts a million dollar price on Sheriff Joe Arpaio's head. Is it a coincidence that this was reported on the same day that Arizona's immigration law, SB 1070, became effective? Still, there are those who think the real solution isn't immigration reform or securing the border. Some feel certain the fact that Arizona is trying to block the drug highway from Mexico, thus cutting off the drug cartel's route to supply drugs to the United States is the primary reason that the drug cartel is allegedly out to eliminate Sheriff Joe. Therefore, they think the solution is to legalize drugs. DALLAS -- At last, "Undocumented", a film about illegal immigration "levels the ground" for all involved. Premiered at the Texas Film Fest, May 17th at the Angelika Film Fest in Dallas. See this trailer of the powerful documetary filmed by Dallas director and fim maker, Justin Malone. 
Though the SB 1070 law that has gone into effect is a gutted version of the real bill, yesterday was also the day that Governor Brewer filed an expedited appeal, vowing to fight all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary. Yesterday was also the day that busloads of imported protesters from California chained themselves outside Sheriff Arpaio's jail.
In the message, $1M reward is placed on Arpaio's head, and for mafia cartel recruiting purposes, another $1K to join the cartel.
The information about the tape was provided by a man, frightened enought to request anonymity, who was disgusted when his wife showed him the tape and followed up by reporting it to the sheriff's office. Death threats aren't uncommon for law enforcement officers who battle the lawlessness of border states,woefully overwhelmed and understaffed, and Sheriff Joe has had more than a few. This threat is considered real and credible, especially because of its timing.
It is believed this message originated in Mexico. The tape provides an international phone number and investigators are trying to trace the text message.
Ms. Allen from the Sheriff's office is "sure he's concerned... for his family more than anything else."

I wouldn't be surprised if this text message turns out to be a hoax concocted by Arpaio himself. The Spanish is very defective and a peculiar characteristic is that a question is not preceded by the inverted question mark that is used in Spanish; an indication that the real author is more accustomed to English. Poor crazy people -- the very sort that Arpaio's spokeswoman said might be inspired to try something -- won't be reading this message because they don't have the blackberry or whatever to receive it.
You do understand that rank and file Mexican citizens are very poorly educated and speak fragmented and backwater Spanish at best, let alone spell and punctuate with anything approaching consistency? There are two classes in Mexico, the super rich upper class of mostly Spanish descent, and the dirt poor class of people mostly of Ameri-Indian descent. I probably speak and spell Spanish better than the average Mexican Mestizo.
