Rick Jones, the sheriff of the county just north of Cincinnati, posted a video on the sheriff’s Web site in which he states that drug dealers are paying illegal immigrants to smuggle drugs. A spokesman for the National Alliance of Latin American and Caribbean Communities says Jones is scapegoating immigrants for the country’s social and economic problems. The group gathered in Cincinnati this weekend to discuss immigration issues.
