Sheriff Joe Arpaio (R-Phoenix) insults Arizona yet again

[SammyBlue]

PHOENIX - A posse of 100 volunteers and sheriff's deputies will patrol the Phoenix area and arrest any illegal immigrants, the county sheriff said.

The group likely will be deployed across parts of Maricopa County by the weekend, Sheriff Joe Arpaio said Wednesday.

Volunteers will be drawn from the department's 3,000-member posse, whose members are trained and are often former deputies.

"It's important to send the message out to stay in Mexico and don't come roaming around here hoping you're going to get amnesty," said Arpaio, who in years past gained notoriety for putting inmates on chain gangs and issuing them striped uniforms and pink underwear.

1. The idiots in Maricopa County

ARE neanderthals. How do they tell a Mexican American from an illegal?

7. He can't just arbitrarily arrests illegals

and he has said publicly he has no intention of doing so...so I doubt he'll have a hard time mixing them up with American citizens.
This has to do with a recently passed law by the constituents of Maricopa county, Whereby he now has the power to arrest Coyotes as felons, and the illegals as (felony)conspiritors w/the coyotes(only illegals in the company of the Coyote)...They have to be caught in the act of breaking US laws by crossing in order for there to be arrests.

I doubt there will be many arrests, this is a publicity stunt.

3. He is a crazy man and I can't believe people in this country...

condone his behavior. He is just like some Banana Republic dictator.

5. I don't know why

people still support him. He's a nutball...I live in Maricopa county...he has cost this county and this state so much money in lawsuits it's not even funny.

6. I have no idea why so many people in Maricopa like him

he's an outright fascist who made deadbeat dads wear pink underwear, and that made him a god.

but, of course, last time we had a chance to knock him out, the progressive movement, as usual, split itself over the best candidate (I seem to recall the division being something akin to if there were 81 or 82 episodes of the original star trek), and he won with a plurality.

8. Somebody ought to investigate him.

They might find some amazing and surprising revelations. Asses like him are often hiding something in their past.

9. I'm in Maricopa County too

he's an asshole! He likes the media attention. We take our kids to the APS Electric light parade down Central every year and a few years ago that nutjob actually had a chain gang following his big tank as a float in the parade. He parades prisoners in shackles at Christmas for a family event! He's a god damn lunatic!
