Maricopa County, AZ Sheriff Joe Arpaio (R) said “I think politics is involved” in a Border Patrol union backing out of a visit to the border by GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump on Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Wolf.” Arpaio said, “I was surprised to hear that they were going to be there. I think politics is involved. Border Patrol works for Homeland Security and I have a feeling that they were told not to participate. let’s see if Hillary comes down there whether she’ll be welcome by the Border Patrol, who I loved, it’s a great organization. But I smell politics in this whole situation.”

I can’t imagine that politics might be involved. Why would anyone thin such a thing? Most of things that are called “politics” are just our intellectual superior beings doing those things that are in our best interests. The evening news will tell us what we need to do, just go and enjoy life.

So promise a lifetime job with equal benefits to any BP agent that comes forward and admits it on record and let the arrests commence for abuse of power.

So obviously the Federal Border Patrol DC Cartel could care less about the actual Border.
Gee, Joe, ya think? I guess it's a good thing he's a Sheriff and not a detective.
