Illegals Ask Sheriff’s Office For A Ride Home to Mexico
(Phoenix, AZ) In a strange turn of events, four illegal aliens seeking but not finding employment in Maricopa County, approached a Sheriff’s deputy and asked to be returned
home to Mexico. The illegals admitted to the deputy that had recently entered the U.S. illegally and were in the Aguila area, west of Phoenix, seeking work.
A Human Smuggling unit detective trained in immigration matters was called to the scene and processed the four men. Customs officials then took them back to Mexico.
The Aguila area has seen a flurry of law enforcement assistance by the Sheriff’s Office recently. Deputies have been asked by residents there to have a stronger presence in the
community because of the problems related to illegal immigration there.

Why be so hard on employers in Arizona? They’re Mexican’s, and granted they’re illegals, and should be return home, but most of the mexican’s here, wire their money home to their family each week…at least they work and pay taxes….not like the more dangerous “Middle IEasterner llegal’s ” who mean us great harm. They come to N. Carolina, get a drivers license, social security card, form a corporation, obtain a Business License, open their own businesses, and work for them selves, all while in our state illegally. They send their kids to our schools, with no questions asked by anyone….
I could give you a list of a thousand corporations that were allowed to be formed in NC, all the secretary of state does is take the money, just as the localities do in issuing a business license, which they tell me is a privlege license….and they’re follow state guidelines. They don’t file a “dba” for the name they use for their business, which would require them to pay personal property taxes on equipment, stock, etc… They know how to play the game well.
Example, two brothers from Lebanon came to the US in 1988, one got someone to sponsor him, the other didn’t and was given a voluntary departure from the US. He went to Canada, got his citizenship there, and started his trips back to N.C. to meet his brother. Together they worked for Haissam Nashar who had a truck van rental business and a convenience store in Charlotte, so he could order all the cigarettes he wanted, and ever week end the two
brothers made trips from N.C. smuggling cigarettes to Michigan, making large profits on each tirp. They told us they were in the seafoof business, and went up to get orders, and would com back and phone the orders to forida, and they would ship the seafoof. I questioned why they made the trips, vs. calling for the order, and the response was to get “Money”. I knew he was lying, as any decent business has food suppliers that they pay monthly…but it didn’t matter to me at the time, I didn’t like him anyway. .The incone in the ledger we found showed income of over $365,000.00 in just 26 months. He married my daughter in 1-98, opened his own Cigar Store with the proceeds of the sale of the house and restaurant he owned in Canada. We learned he didn’t own a restaurant, he worked as a waiter, and he didn’t own a home, he lived with his Canadian girlfriend and her two sons with the girls parents helping them financially, having no idea of what he was doing on the side with is trips to N.C. Why he would even wire transfer the brother here in N.C. large sums of money from Canada to make more purchases…This goes on and on, and I blame our Secretary of State for a large part of what is taking place with nothing being done to stop or correct the thousand of illegal corporations filed with her office. Perhaps I’ll find time to send her a lengthy letter outline the various cases, that show various signaturesk it’s really a circus, but let’s face it, these employees have no idea of what they’re dealing with, they have no idea what questions to ask, and certainly wouldn’t know what tp dp wotj tej.
.Well one brother Georges Naseeb El Asmar, got caught, was arrested, faked a heart attack and was taken to the hospital where he cut a deed with the feeds that protected his brother Fawzi N. Asmar, aka Faouzi N. El Asmar, among other things. I have his own hand written ledger showing how he made over $365,000.00 smuggling cigarettesl, and it clearly outlined how every dime was laundered in opening his business, forming his corporation, etc…but on one really cared that he also sold drugs out of his business, and sold illegal cubans which is against the law. When Georges was caught, he knew that his ex roommate in Charlotte had been caught alost a year earlier at the airport in St. Louis, Missouri with $750,000.00 in counterfeit cigarette stamps enroute to California, , and our govt. agents allowed him to cut his deal giving the 18 names that were tried and convicted for cigarette smuggling, money laundering, fraudulent marriages, and funneling money to terrorost group Hezbollah. Georges knew this when he was caught, and gave the same 18 names, and came home and laughed at the “Dumb Americans”….This is a small sample of the Illegals in N. C., doing the same thing. They make encough money breaking the law to open their own business, don’t pay social security for their employees, or state and federal taxes,, no workers comp coverage, etc….this is going on all over north carolina, and NC is doing absolutely nothing about it. These three men mentioned were doing the same identical thing the 18 men were doing, yet theyr’e not being punished, in fact I believe Georges got his citizenship, even though he was charged with a felony and was convicted, as he served 1 year house arrest, and spent the time on the golf course play golf. I could walk you through thousands listed in the N.C. Secretary of State Corporations Division, and show you how they file one after the other, many times not filing the required annual reports, and sometimes going as long as 8 years before the State Corp Commission disolves the corporation….can you figure that on out? I sure did….and could train them well and clean up our N. C. Government in many aspects….wonder if they’d hire me????

Are we, the citizens of Aguila, Arizona being used by the MCSO to validify the actions taken by Sheriff Joe?
Can someone tell me what I am missing here? I live in Aguila, I attended the meetings we had with the MCSO, and not ONCE did anyone blame illegal immigrants for the troubles we’re having in our town - in fact, the first meeting everyone made it CLEAR that we do NOT want the illegal immigration Interdiction squad here, we just need law enforcement! Everytime I read something from the Sheriffs Office, he talks as if the immigrants are our problem here, NOT TRUE!

Why be so hard on employers in Arizona? The employer’s are hiring Mexican’s, and granted they’re Illegals, and should be returned home, but most of the Mexican’s here in N.

They send their kids to our schools, with no questions asked by anyone…I could give you a list of a thousand corporations that were allowed to be formed in NC by the foreign illegals, all the N.C. Secretary of State does is take the money, just as the localities do in issuing them a Business License, which they tell me is a Privlege License….and they’re following state guidelines. They don’t file a “dba” for the name they use for their business, which would require them to pay personal property taxes on equipment, stock, etc… They know how to play the game well, and N.C. Government, evidently doesn’t care.
Example, two brothers from Lebanon came to the US in 1988, one got someone to sponsor him, the other didn’t, and was given a voluntary departure from the US. He went to Canada, got his citizenship there, and started his trips back to N.C. to meet his brother.

They told us they were in the seafood business, and went up to get orders, and would come back and phone the orders to Florida, and they would ship the seafood. I questioned why they made the trips, vs. calling for the order, and the response was: “to get the Cash”. I knew he was lying, as any decent business has food suppliers that they pay monthly…but it didn’t matter to me at the time, I didn’t like him anyway. .The income in the ledger we found showed income of over $365,000.00 in just 26 months.

One of the brother’s Georges Naseeb El Asmar, got caught in Michigan, was arrested, faked a heart attack and was taken to the hospital where he cut a deel with the feeds that protected his brother Fawzi N. Asmar, aka Faouzi N. El Asmar, among other things. I have his own hand written ledger showing how he made over $365,000.00 smuggling cigarettes, and it clearly outlined how every dime was laundered in opening his business, forming his corporation, even large sums of money to the leader of the Charlotte group that was sentenced to 155 years in federal prison, etc…I’ve had the FBI, SBI, NCIS and ICE involved, and the FBI kills each investigation I manage to get started. The only thing any of them have done is pick him up for deportation when he filed for custody of the minor child born of the bigamous marriage…no one cared that he went off and on our military base “Cherry Point” even attending the Military Ball, and catered to the Military. When Georges was caught, he knew that his ex roommate in Charlotte had been caught almost a year earlier at the airport in St. Louis, Missouri with $750,000.00 in counterfeit cigarette stamps while enroute to California, , and our govt. agents allowed him to cut his deal giving the 18 names that were tried and convicted for cigarette smuggling, money laundering, fraudulent marriages, and funneling money to terrorost group Hezbollah. Georges knew this when he was caught, and gave the same 18 names to cut his deal, and came back to N.C. laughing at the “Dumb Americans”…
This is a small sample of the Illegals in N. C., doing the same thing. They make enough money breaking the law to open their own business, don’t pay social security for their employees, or state and federal taxes,, no workers comp coverage, etc….this is going on all over North Carolina, and NC is doing absolutely nothing about it. These three men mentioned were doing the same identical thing the 18 men were doing, yet they’re not being punished, in fact I believe Georges got his citizenship, even though he was charged with a felony, and was convicted, as he served 1 year house arrest, and spent the time on the golf course play golf.
