He's been at the center of the discussions and controversies surrounding illegal immigration enforcement in Arizona for quite a while.
On the day parts of Arizona's immigration law, SB 1070, went into effect, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is in the news for another reason: there's a price on his head - allegedly offered by a Mexican drug cartel.
The audio message in Spanish is a bit garbled, but the text is clear.
"It's offering a million dollars for Sheriff Joe Arpaio's head and offering a thousand dollars for anyone who wants to join the Mexican cartel."
A man who wants to remain anonymous says his wife received the text message Tuesday evening. It also included an international phone number and instructions to pass the message along.
"She showed it to me..I was kind of disgusted..I reported it to the Sheriff's department yesterday..they said they were going to direct the threat squad on it."
Lisa Allen of the Sheriff's office says they believe the message originated in Mexico.

Forney Pete Stark assures me that the borders are secure, so what is there to worry about?
Pete Stark told everyone the border is secure and the Minutemen are the problem, shooting all those people.
I believe my Marxist Overlords, they are wise and we are at war with Eurasia.
Threats and promises of bounties are a dime a dozen on the SW border against LE.
If the Cartels really wanted Arpaio dead they would send one of their own assassins, instead of advertising their intentions so Arpaio can take counter measures.
IMO the threat came from some unhinged Democrat libtard.
I read what little portion of the message visible on the screen. Even this Gringa knows that the message is in the most garbled, ungrammatiacal and yes, ignorant Spanish imaginable. It hurts! Anyone else catch that?

Was channel surfing and just saw Sheriff Joe on BOR’s show. BOR never brought it up although I’ve heard in on the news all day.
First thing they will do is take the good Sheriff into protective custody.

I’ve been around illegal Mexicans from the thug class, even had an office firebombed with a gallon of gasoline once. I can tell you they don’t put a high value on spelling or grammar.
The threat sent us after the firebombing said “vete al invierno” instead of “vete al infierno”.
Literally, “Go to winter” instead of “Go to hell”.
Yeah, after looking at it that is definitely Mexican texting slang, it’s real as far as th poor grammar goes, very typical. Analfabetos.
Y por eso no quieran ellos aqui, porque son ladrones y narcotraficantes, no por racismo.
In other news the Obama Administration announces a new bailout program...Cash for Cartels
... exactamente! estos son los que no tienen nada que ofrecer...
No allegedly about it.
I heard these illegals and their Mexicans supporters sprayed painted, "Burn this racist city to the ground" and painted a toilet on Old Glory as they walked all over our flag....
Support Sheriff Joe. Right now there are more anti-joe than pro-joe on
Facebook.
