A real American HERO. Go Joe Go!!
Exactly.
I love this man. A hero among weasels.
your screen name makes me laugh every time i see it.
“But now, in what can only be described as a giant F.U. to the U.S. government, Sheriff Joe has announced that he’ll train all 881 of his deputies to enforce federal immigration law, reports the AP.”

Joe for president.
The Obamaloon for dogcatcher. (Very slow dogs only.)
Racial profiling? Illegal mexicans? Duh
“... 55,322 criminal aliens were arrested a total of at least 459,614 times, averaging over eight arrests per alien. The Department of Justice expressed its surprise at the ‘extremely high’ rate of re-arrests for criminal aliens when it found that that 73 criminal aliens in a study group were arrested a total of 429 times.”
...quoting a Government Accounting Office (GAO) study.
Reflect on those numbers for just a minute.
This GAO study is only counting the number of arrests! And that should bring two questions immediately to mind:
How many actual crimes did these 55,322 criminal aliens actually commit?
How is it even conceivable that each of these illegal aliens could be arrested on average a total of almost nine times?
To at least partially answer the second question, you only need to look at so-called “sanctuary cities.”
Sanctuary cities are localities across the United States where liberal mayors and local legislators have instituted policies that prohibit law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration agents and prohibit them from even questioning the immigration status of anyone they arrest.
But to add more insult to injury, many American cities even allow illegal aliens to obtain free health care, food stamps and a whole assortment of government goodies without having their immigration status questioned.

ILLEGITIMUS NON CARBORUNDUM, Joe!!!
I heard the Sheriff being interviewed on the radio yesterday. My understanding was that Joe concluded that there are two Arizona State statutes under which he can enforce immigration law. He did not mention attempting to enforce Federal law.
The two Arizona laws involve trafficking in people and employer responsibilities.
Sheriff Joe BUMP!
“amid a slew of complaints that the controversial sheriff was using racial profiling techniques to round up suspected illegal immigrants.”
Yes, focusing on race will cause him to miss all those Irish and Swedish illegals that flood into his county.
Late Update: A spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an agency of DHS, tells TPMmuckraker in a statement:
Sheriff Arpaio’s efforts to conduct immigration enforcement actions do not derive from any ICE-delegated federal authority. ICE has no engagement in MCSO’s operations outside of our standard procedures of responding to a local law enforcement agency’s request for assistance.
Few things illustrate better how unserious the Feds are about immigration enforcement than this. 85% of illegal aliens are Latino. Arizona has a border with Mexico.
So, what you gonna look for? Blond Norwegians? The only people whining about racial profiling in the Arizona situation are people who want no immigration laws enforced.
GO, JOE!
May God bless Joe Arpaio.
May God stop those hindering Joe’s efforts.
I want to vote for Joe. Lord please make it happen.
