How things get skewed! Joe Arpaio is tracking down
ILLEGAL immigrants, people who should not be in this
country! RACE has nothing to do with his work, he
is one man in this country is doing the job he was hired
to do.

I am a Mexican-American and i am living the American dream. As an American I enjoy a lot of rights and opportunities but I also see the other side. One of my teachers once said “the more laws we allow to get passed the LESS rights we will have.” Some might think that this does not affect them but the things Arpio is doing will and has affected everyone in Maricopa County. Today he discriminates against Latinos, tomorrow against African, next year Asiana and some day it might just be all across the board including Caucasians.

Terry – I’m surprised your blogroll and list of Arizona Journalism fails to list the East Valley Tribune’s Pulitzer-Prize winning “Reasonable Doubt” package by Ryan Gabrielson and Paul Giblin about our sheriff and him immigration tactics. Here’s a link:

You hit the nail on the head. He will never change. What about Andrew Thomas’ role. He is the one who tries to prosecute illegals for conspiracy with themselves for smuggling. And the media plays into both their hands. Sheriff Joe and Thomas manipulate the situations to get the coverage because they know the media cannot/will not resist. And the reporting fuels the fear they need to keep their jobs. It is a perpetual motion machine. The need to “report” fuels the activity which gives more to report. It is a symbiotic relationship and will exist until one side stops.

We moved from Arizona up to Washington state 10 years ago, but even up here his buffoonery is legendary.

I think what the sheriff does violates the constitution. It’s difficult for me to believe he’s allowed to continue his racist policies. He’s an embarrassment to the county and a financial burden to the taxpayers.
