2. I posted about this 2 days ago. I like Sheriff Estrada a lot.

He's an interesting guy. I'm glad she had him on.

Meet Sheriff Tony Estrada

Sheriff Tony Estrada was first sworn into office on January 1, 1993. Sheriff Estrada was born in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, immigrated with his family as an infant and grew up in Nogales, Arizona. He started his law enforcement career as a dispatcher with the Nogales Police Department and worked his way up through the ranks, retiring as a captain in 1991.

4. Yes, compared to the jar head type in the McCain ad, he seems quite thoughtful

I didn't see your previous post - thanks for filling in - I know the revelation was not new.

5. It just surprises me that he wasn't interviewed sooner.

If you're interested there's a profile of him in our local Tucson Weekly (from Aug 2009).

The Border Sheriff

The pale light of dawn slips into Santa Cruz County, sneaking up canyons, and creeping gingerly down the broad, serpentine arroyos. At first glance, it presents the lovely essence of a simple desert idyll.

But miles away, along the county's southern flank, is where the truth really dwells. It is there that the border wall glowers in the fledgling light, and groans ever-so-slightly with the growing breeze. It is there that reality reaches its crescendo, because these days in Santa Cruz County, the wall tells it all.

When Tony Estrada was a child here, there was no wall. Born in Nogales, Sonora, and reared in Nogales, Ariz., he is a creature of this place. But the border he remembers was largely amorphous: People came, people went. There was an innocence of sorts, the camaraderie of a shared culture which largely ignored the imposed boundary in its midst.

Tony Estrada misses those days. But when one is sheriff of a border county, there's not much chance for wistful melancholy. Sheriff Tony Estrada knows full well that south of that wall, a war is underway. He knows of the barbarous killings and beheadings and the acid vats of drug cartels devouring themselves. There is corruption in uniform, and a very thin line between good guys and bad.
