Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones. Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones.
Sheriff Jones here. Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones. I'm Sheriff Rick Jones from Butler County, Ohio, the 8th largest county in the state of Ohio.
You come to this county, you come to this state illegally, we're going to do everything we can to get you back to the country where you came from. This community in Butler County, Ohio, the state of Ohio, we've made a dent in the illegals. We have two versions.
Appeal to Prejudice The statement draws a sharp in-group/out-group distinction, addressing undocumented immigrants as outsiders who must be expelled, reinforcing an us-vs-them identity frame — for example: 'you come to this county, you come to this state illegally'
Name Calling The term 'illegals' is a derogatory label used to dehumanize undocumented immigrants by reducing them to their legal status rather than addressing them as people — for example: the illegals.
Loaded Language Emotionally charged words chosen to trigger a reaction rather than convey facts.
of the 287G. We have 287G with the jail version where we can house prisoners and they can book them in through ICE. And that's why we have roughly 350 prisoners, illegals in my jail today, here.
And we've arrested on the task force version probably 150 to 200. In this county alone, this is the greatest country in the world to live. Thank God that we have an administration with ICE and the President of the United States, President Trump, that's actually doing what the people want done.
Exaggeration/Hyperbole The claim that this is 'the greatest country in the world to live' is an absolute superlative used as rhetorical flourish without supporting evidence — for example: greatest country in the world
Transfer Invoking God's blessing to lend divine legitimacy to a political administration and its immigration enforcement actions — for example: Thank God that we have an administration
Bandwagon Appeal The phrase 'doing what the people want done' implies broad popular consensus to validate the administration's actions — for example: what the people want done
I support it. I'm very proud to be the sheriff of this county and to support the President of the United States, President Trump, and the ICE people that are risking their lives every single day. Great partners.
We love you guys.
