Joe Arpaio's Office Arrests 6-Year-Old Suspected Undocumented Immigrant
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/17/joe-arpaios-arrests-six-year-old_n_1603883.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular
On the same day that President Obama announced a policy that will make it easier for young undocumented immigrants to remain in the United States, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office arrested a 6-year-old girl suspected of coming to America illegally.
The Arizona Republic reports that the girl was with 15 other suspected undocumented immigrants who were traveling to the Midwest and northeast United States, according to Chris Hegstrom, spokesman for the Sheriff's Office.
"She's been turned over to ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to try to determine where she's from. She told us she's from El Salvador. That's what she told us," Hegstrom said.
KPHO reports that all the suspects paid between $300 and $3,500 to be illegally smuggled into the U.S., according to the Sheriff's office.

Now if she was a 6 year old girl being sexually molested by an illegal immigrant then Arpaio would have just ignored them

Remembering
the Assassination of
Archbishop Oscar Romero
March 24, 1980
Days before his murder Archbishop Romero told a reporter, "You can tell the people that if they succeed in killing me, that I forgive and bless those who do it. Hopefully, they will realize they are wasting their time. A bishop will die, but the church of God, which is the people, will never perish."
~snip~
"The church would betray its own love for God and its fidelity to the gospel if it stopped being . . . a defender of the rights of the poor . . . a humanizer of every legitimate struggle to achieve a more just society . . . that prepares the way for the true reign of God in history."
~snip~
From a letter to President Carter:
"You say that you are Christian. If you are really Christian, please stop sending military aid to the military here, because they use it only to kill my people."

If the American people truly understood what happened in El Salvador more would be ashamed rather than make waves with ignorant anti immigrant rants.
And the School of Americas (now called The Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation) is at the center of it all:
