Even after his powers were relegated, last month Arpaio announced his 13th illegal immigrant crackdown of the year. "Nightline" joined Arpaio and Deputy Cory Rengel in their latest highway pursuit.

"We reward people for illegally coming into this country and committing a crime by coming into this country, reward them with jobs," Arpaio said. "I'm not getting into the social aspect, but you do know if you go into the ER many people here illegally where U.S. citizens have to wait in the back of the line and they get angry about this."

Arpaio says that illegal immigrants are not only criminals, but can bring diseases into the country.
"I have a problem with people crossing this border that have not been checked medically," he said. "I'm very concerned."

4. Maybe not on a bill, but I know of some paper on which his face should appear.

I could think of him each time I wiped.

3. This man is a criminal....

He put a woman in hard labor into chains and forced her to give birth chained up. If that isnt wrong what is? And no the woman wasnt trying to "run away". What a bastard. What a low life. Words fail to discribe this creep.

5. It's unfortunate

that the only person who actually seems to be doing something definitive on illegal immigration has to break the law.

By all means remove him from his position, but only after we have some clue as to how we're going to address this problem.
