Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's deputies arrested an illegal immigrant working inside the Palo Verde Nuclear Plant, the nation's largest nuclear plant and one of the most closely monitored in the country.
Cruz Loya Alvares was taken into custody by Sheriff Deputies Wednesday and interrogated by the Sheriff's Human Smuggling detectives.
Deputies determined that the worker is, in fact, here illegally. Cruz admitted he has been in the U.S. illegally for most of the past 15 years. He was detained and deported in 2000 but paid a coyote for re-entry into the U.S. And last month, Cruz admitted that in June 2011, Mesa Police cited him for driving with a suspended license.
According to Sheriff Arpaio, Cruz tried to gain access to the Nuclear power plant on Monday but was denied entrance because his Mexican Driver's license was expired.
He then returned on Tuesday, this time as a passenger in a contractor's vehicle. Cruz presented an Arizona Identification card and was permitted into the facility. When plant authorities more carefully examined the card some time later, officials thought it may be illegitimate and contacted the Sheriff's Office.
Palo Verde Nuclear Power Plant officials say that the illegal immigrant was never allowed into any secure areas or into the plant itself. They say he was simply on company property in an administrative area.

Sounds like there is more security at the movie theater during Harry Potter or this was allowed to provide false information to enemies. I thought Obama closed all Nuclear Power Plants, or was that him walking to the next course instead of riding in the cart?
Sheriff Joe is the man. Those wetbacks don't stand a chance on his watch. Go Sheriff Joe! Our Sheriff couldn't hold a candle to him. Well, if Maricopa Co. ever gets tired of him, he could always come here.

Wow. Not only are you stupid you are uninformed as well.
If you had bothered to read this article, or one like it, maybe you could answer your own question. Or better yet, not even ask such asinine questions.
BTW, whatever made you think ANYONE shut down nuclear plants?
