I had to shorten the title...it was 18 million words long....

If you’re brown, you’re going to be pulled over, and if you’re white, you’re not. It’s as simple as that.

GUTS! Clone him immediately!

Kudos to sheriff Joe for a job well done. Top notch !

‘It doesn’t do anything to stop the flow. All it does is make for good TV.’

I haven’t seen it on TV, but then I don’t watch TV. My belief is that if it were on TV, I’d watch TV.

Mail Online says: “Now he's under fire for dispatching teams of sheriff's deputies into Hispanic communities where they stop people and arrest anyone who cannot prove he or she is a legal U.S. resident.”

Any facts that back up that claim?

[Irish Eyes]

'There's no doubt in my mind that this is racial profiling. None.'

Darn right it is... and about time. Got to love Joe.

Appoint Sheriff Joe head of ICE.

'What right does a mayor or a police chief, or anyone like that, have to tell me what my priorities are?' Arpaio said.

'I'm the elected sheriff. I tell them what their priorities are.'

[singfreedom]

Absolutely. To the Mayor, perhaps Sheriff Joe’s campaign hasn’t “worked” because he is the only one doing anything about the crime problem? If the city is crime ridden, shouldn’t the police and the Mayor be helping, instead of just running their mouths?

[B-Cause]

Way to go Joe - Keep it up!!

Under the U.S. Constitution, all citizens must be treated equally under the law and the government cannot conduct unreasonable searches and seizures without probable cause.

"Unreasonable" and "Probable" are subjective terms.

What if you are a citizen and detained? Do you have any recourse?

[uptoolate]

What if you are a citizen and detained? Do you have any recourse?

Well, considering I have a drivers license, Social Security Card, a copy of my Birth Certificate, and my CDL Medical Examiner's Certification in my wallet, coupled with only being able to count to 39 in Spanish, I should not be detained because I have proven my citizenship, thus I would not need any recourse either.

[californio]

Yes, the county, not “nickel bag” Joe will probably be sued and fork out a few more million dollars to support groups like La Raza. The money will really come out of our pockets. Thats cool though cuz Joe entertains us with his bravado. On a side note: I always thought a “dime bag” was the smallest arrest a dope cop could make.

[LaineyDee]

Gordon said Arpaio should spend his time and limited resources pursuing other more serious criminals like drug and human traffickers, and violent criminals.

Isn't that EXACTLY what Arpaio is doing?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Evil Sheriff Joe is why there are schools around these parts closing due to "declining enrollment". Now, how is it that one of the fastest growing in the states in the country has schools with "declining enrollment"? Gee, let's think about that for a minute....hmmmmm....maybe it's because illegal alien parasites are heading south? Hmmmmm?

Damn, before you know it, our school systems might have to lay off some "administrators".......might have to cut back on their "ethnic studies" programs.....might have to teach them reading, writing, and arithmetic instead....pain and agony, pain and agony.....

That opens up another sticky situation. There are lots of OTMs and snowbacks that are in this country illegally too. Judging by race seems like it’s a good way to judge who’s in the country illegally but it’s not going to work because there are too many OTMs and snowbacks in this country that will pass through without notice.

But I do admire his hard work in getting rid of these invaders.
