New York Times
HAMILTON, Ohio, July 30 — “I’m outspoken about illegal aliens,” Sheriff Richard K. Jones of Butler County told a visitor to his office. “You may have picked up on that.”
To eliminate doubts about his views, Sheriff Jones posted six billboards by roadways in this proudly conservative blue-collar county. “Hire an illegal — break the law!” the signs warn, with a photograph of the sheriff.
He also took out half-page advertisements in local newspapers to convey his message, and he set up a blog to promote a boycott of local businesses that employ illegal immigrants. The sheriff then opened a tip line so citizens could report any employers they suspected.
