Sheriff Joe heads to Iowa to endorse Trump

Video: Joe Arpaio Opens For Donald Trump At Mesa Rally--12/16/15

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is heading to Iowa to campaign on behalf of Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, according toCNN and New York Times reports.

The Arizona sheriff has been a vocal opponent of the Obama administration for years and is known for his tough take on tackling crime and hardline stance on illegal immigration.

Arpaio will appear with Trump in Marshalltown, according to the Times, a month after appearing at a Trump rally in his home state.

Trump has made ending illegal immigration a focal point of his Republican presidential campaign, and is running neck-and-neck with Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) in Iowa ahead of ballots being cast Monday.

"I have great respect for Sheriff Arpaio. We must restore law and order and respect the men and women of our police forces. I thank him for his support of my policies and candidacy for President," Trump said in a statement published by the Times.

In another statement published by the newspaper, Arpaio praised Trump as a "leader" who "produces results and is ready to get tough in order to protect American jobs and families."

"I have fought on the front lines to prevent illegal immigration and I know Donald Trump will stand with me, and countless Americans, to secure our border. I am proud to support him as the best candidate for President of the United States of America," he added.

The sheriff challenged President Obama's executive actions on immigrations, but the Supreme Court recently rejected his appeal to hear his case.

The endorsement comes on the heels of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin endorsing Trump last week and Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr., endorsing him earlier Tuesday.

Some very good things about Arpiao; and some not so good. This could be a net negative for him.

Arizona, where I live, is reported to be the biggest illegal corridor in the US with over 500,000 illegals plowing through the state every year.

There are parts of Phoenix that are completely unrecognizable and look more like a barrio in Mexico.

No one ha s been stronger on border security and removing illegals than Cruz.

Teddy bear Ted along with Glen Beck handed out Teddy bears and soccer balls to illegals as they crossed our southern border. So how is that being strong on border security?

He's a good guy, a great cop and a great American.

Thanks, I've never met Joe but I feel like you do about him.

Let's say we completely agree on that.

Why then is our border security in the poorest condition, and why do we have so many illegals being flown in, bussed in, trained in, given housing, food, money, driver's licenses, and voting rights ?

Which means you agree it could be a real positive for him.

Thanks.

This endorsement is a feather in Trump’s “Make America Great Again” hat!

That does not explain your disinterest in the committed handholding of illegals going on, to please the COC agenda and the Cruz donors.

You are about to get your dauber in the dirt when you stand there and whine about conservatism, while watching these Mexican and South American socialists not get the boot, before they become voters for Marxists Democrats.

Wake up, purist. You are purifying yourself to death and us with you. The Founding Fathers would doubtless like to get you in a room for about five minutes.

They want to talk to you about that “Vigilance” thing you dare to wear.

Well, I'm certainly fed up, and I'm certainly not enthused about anyone in this field.

That only leaves one name to pick. Use the power of the 'write-in' vote. Vote for NOT SURE.

It isn’t too much purity that is our problem.

Seems kind of obvious.

These guys equate talking about it to actually having done anything tangible.

I guess I missed this point when he went to the border with Beck to pass out teddy bears and soccer balls, or when he wanted to increase H-1B visas by 500%. Or, when he wanted the illegals to come out of the shadows so they could become citizens. Yep, no one has been stronger alright. /sarc

Despite all that, this is huge for Trump because illegal immigration is Trump’s signature issue. It brought him to the top, and it has kept him there. On the eve of Iowa, this is shrewd.

The Cruzbots have to trash anyone who endorses Trump. They just can’t help themselves.
