Arpaio is a loose cannon. We know that. He pushes the lines and often crosses them. He could, at any time, become a liability.

BUT...

He is also pushing the lines that we want pushed. We want a State that in not meekly subordinate to the Federal Government. We want it robust in its powers and in constant conflict against federal encroachment.

Given our choice, Arpaio would not be point man in the conflict but he is an acceptable substitute. At his age he is not looking for a populist power base and he is redefining and enhancing the power of the state. We'll take the bad because the good is worth it.

Well I just heard it reported that cause he was arresting the illegals as co conspirators that once an illegal has contact with LE in that manner that gives them a path to become legal.
