He was elected sheriff not immigration officer. He has neglected his duty to pursue his personal bigotry which he spews on television regularly here in AZ. He is in trouble for the cases he didn't handle and he's in trouble with the Feds for racial profiling among other things. Whenever he tries to defend his bigotry he does it with out and out lies, that anyone could refute through legitimate research in about 5 minutes.
You don't have to agree, but where my opinion and image above are just my view, the facts about his continual bigoted comments and behavior, his treatment of American ethnic minorities, his mishandling of the cases he was supposed to pursue and the trouble he's in with the Feds are verifiable fact.
wouldn't you say if your state was over run with illegal mexicans and you checked to see if one was illegal (a mexican that is) that it is sound police work. if you get a call that a white guy is breaking a wiindow and the police arrive on scene and dee a white guy standing nearby is that racial profiling when they stop and question him.....heaven forbid even ask to see his id. guess your theory is full of holes and you are correct, i do not have to agree and i dont.
No I do not think it is sound police work as it is the job of immigration not the sheriff and this sheriff is neglecting his actual responsibilities to pursue his hobby. And as I live in AZ and it is certainly not overrun with undocumented Mexicans, it's even more perplexing. During many periods of time AZ has almost rolled out the red carpet to undocumented people to use their labor for low paid jobs that no one here wanted to do. But AZ likes to keep them vulnerable so they can adjust unemployment at other times. It is sad the way they play with peoples lives. But he and his buddy who got booted from the legislature are the worst of the worst.
As I said we can disagree with the portion that is opinion, but facts are facts regardless of either of our opinions.
Exactly! And are you suggesting that you approve of using people when you need to then throwing them away and blaming them when you no longer need them?
no pal, i am saying they are using us to mak money and we are using them to get a job done....it has been happening forever. so just because they work (and are paid) do they deserve more? what logic?
And you deserve your citizenship based on the accident of your birth? I'm unsure why you said 'no pal' and then proceeded to explain that you do indeed approve of using people and throwing them away and blaming them when you no longer need them, evidently because if exploitation happens all over and forever it's fine with you pal?
listen very carefully, you seem a bit slow....i work out of the usa, and you can better believe i am not offered citizenship regardless of how hard my job is or how successful i am in the various places my emmployment brings me. lets look to the uae for an example....locals are paid at a much higher wage than outsiders for doing exactly the same job....no one complains because everyone has a job. There is something to be said about a country putting its own citizens ahead of any other, it builds a strong local society, mired in the values they were raised and taught. not one where the immigrants suck the system dry and do not wish to assimilate. do you understand now?
I was with you till you got to the part where you were trying again to justify blaming and punishing the people when you no longer need them, by saying that immigrants refuse to assimilate and suck the system dry. Both are demonstrably untrue attempts to justify bigoted attitudes. There are sadly hypocritical attitudes toward immigrants in this country where people know the undocumented workers are needed at times, but they make easy powerless scapegoats for and when there are shifts in the economy and they are temporarily not needed, they are persecuted.
You may feel frustrated, but the rudeness is uncalled for.
i am an American hon.....dont expect any special treatment while abroad, and neither should people who come to work in the usa. we get something and so do they....i will let you in on a little secret, most people work for money. most dont expect the country they work in if not their own to sing their praises. are you a mexican?
He's a thug and bully. He's got a massive ego and hasn't met a camera he didn't like. He's the real muscle running Arizona and the face of Arizona's horribly cartoonish far-right-nationalistic wing of the GOP. It doesn't speak much for Arizonans either because folks still vote this clown in. Maybe when Arizona goes bankrupt from lawsuits people will finally wake up.
They are going bankrupt from lawsuits, those of liberals suing for the rights of illegals and false accusations. Do you realize just how stupid your comment is? You people are the ones suing and liberal leniency towards illegals is killing the border states. As far as camera love, you people are the ones that put him in front of a camera just like Palin and all the rest.
If it was not for him you would be living in a state over run by MURDERERS, RAPISTS and CHILD MOLESTERS. ALL who entered have not had a criminal check like those who have followed our IMMIGRATION LAWS. YOU hate on a man who is trying to keep the drug cartels from invading YOUR state. Do you want to have the drug cartels operating in your home town? Sure sounds to me like you would welcome the ZETAS to move in next door to you.
Sheriff Arpaio, the top law enforcement official in sprawling Maricopa County, is perhaps best known for his hard-nosed treatment of prisoners and his aggressive raids aimed at illegal immigrants. But it is his department’s approach to more than 400 sex-crimes cases that has Sheriff Arpaio in trouble.
His deputies failed to investigate or conducted only the sketchiest of inquiries into hundreds of sex crimes between 2005 and 2007, investigations by Arizona law enforcement agencies have shown. Many of those cases involved molested children.
The cases were first raised by The East Valley Tribune in 2008 but resurfaced in the news media earlier this year and in a recent article by The Associated Press, which prompted Sheriff Arpaio to defend himself at a news conference. “If there were any victims, I apologize to those victims,” he said on Monday, vowing to hold deputies accountable.
MEXICALI, Mexico — Arrests of illegal migrants trying to cross the southern U.S. border have plummeted to levels not seen since the early 1970s, according to tallies released by the Department of Homeland Security last week, a historic shift that could reshape the debate over immigration reform.
So yes, I don't think you know what you are talking about.
You must live in a rich neighborhood and don't face the problems these poor people are facing. Have you live in Mexico and just see how much of your American freedom rights is tolerated. Commit a crime in Mexico and see if you get lucky and get raped.
The Mexican drug war is in Mexico. Arpaio is doing nothing about that, Mexican army is working on it.
The Mexican government acknowledged Sunday that US intelligence and military officials are deployed inside Mexico, but refused to confirm details of a published report on their role in the country’s “drug war” for reasons of “national security.” Mexico’s National Security Council issued a statement August 7 in response to a front-page article in the New York Times which reported that the Obama administration has sent “new CIA operatives and retired military personnel” to the country and is “considering plans to deploy private security contractors” in an effort to escalate the bloody war against drug cartels. The Times article, written by Ginger Thompson, who was the paper’s Mexico City bureau chief for nearly 15 years, reported that the military and intelligence officials were operating out of a military base in the north of Mexico. The paper acknowledged that it was withholding the location of the base at the request of the US administration.
You seem to be welcoming it to cross the border. You LWNJs are against keeping that from crossing the border. Anyone who is against sealing the border wants drug cartel death in their town.
Tucson crime statistics report an overall downward trend in crime based on data from 11 years with violent crime decreasing and property crime decreasing. Based on this trend, the crime rate in Tucson for 2012 is expected to be lower than in 2009.
You prefer a open border so RAPISTS, MURDERERS and CHILD MOLESTERS can enter the country without having a criminal back round check. The security of American CITIZENS are no concern of yours.
Why do you support the illegal invasion of this country?

Would arresting the ILLEGAL INVADERS for the RAPES they committed still warrant a trip to tent city or would that be upsetting to you LWNJs?

If you dont think I dont know about the state of Arizona and the ILLEGAL ALIEN crisis you are mistaken. Your statements amuse me like a clown would.

Bodies hung from bridge as 23 more die in Mexico drug war

This is what Sheriff Joe Arpaio is desperately trying to stop from happening. Seems your hatred for him makes you a supporter of the drug cartels.
