Arpaio says there's no excuse and it's a "cop-out

Sheriff Joe Arpaio says if he can enforce the state's immigration law, other law enforcement agencies should be able to as well. Arpaio says his office enforces all the laws, and his office is doing it with a smaller staff compared to some police agencies. The Sheriff says he doesn't go around complaining he doesn't have enough resources. He says his office manages resources properly.

Also, Arpaio says the excuse of not going after misdemeanors doesn't work. He says 62% of the people in his jails are misdemeanors.

I don't think he is. I think he is just asked on shows because the things he does works. If he can do it there is NO excuse why every town can't. He gets the job done & we need more sheriffs like him. If he appears on TV maybe more people will demand the same of their sheriffs & law enforcement. I hope they do.

He’s a whore because his steadfastness in enforcing our laws is considered news material by the leftist media.

Police Union: Change Phoenix Immigration Policy
October 8th, 2007 @ 7:16pm
by Associated Press

PHOENIX (AP) _ A union for police officers broke with leaders of the Phoenix Police Department on Monday in calling for an end to an immigration policy that the union says makes streets in the nation’s fifth largest city more dangerous.

The policy prevents police officers from asking federal immigration authorities for assistance in situations where illegal immigrants commit civil traffic violations. (snip)

He is the best cop in the U.S.A. He'd make a better president than Rudi, that's for sure.

I think this man should be named to Director of Homeland Security and give the power to clean this border mess up. No FEDERAL money to states providing sanctuary cities. This man could kiss ass and takes names.

Jorge would rather do a self castration than have a non-stooge puppet at DHS.

He’s doing what others claim can’t be done. And he seems to be one of the few in law enforcement who actually take our immigration laws seriously.

I’ve always liked this guy. I suspect he won’t be getting any invitation to the White House in the future though !!!

Unfortunately it goes way beyond himself- The effect is being felt by the Republican Party and the citizenry of the United States of America. President Hillary Clinton, thanks almost entirely to George W. Bush.

You are exactly right! We handed them unprecedented power for years and they still were on defense with the minority party, never once taking offense. Then Bush and the Republican ruled congress acted like a bunch of corrupt demonrats and have ruined the party to the point in which we now have no viable candidate to run in 2008 without ending up with a democrat in Republican clothing. It's sad!

...who runs far and away the best prison. I'd like to see his prison model adopted nationwide. No gang or drug BS in there, that's for sure. Just hard labor and the Disney Channel.
