If we had men like this in office instead of the usual money grubbing politicians

Sheriff's deputies assigned to find, arrest illegal immigrants
By AMANDA LEE MYERS

PHOENIX (AP) -- Maricopa County sheriff's deputies and volunteers will patrol the desert and roadways in the southwestern part of the county for illegal immigrants and arrest them under a state smuggling law, the sheriff said Wednesday.
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office will draw from existing deputies and members of its 3,000-member posse reserve - made up of trained, unpaid volunteers - to form the illegal immigration posse.
The 100-member illegal immigration posse will join 57 other specialized department posses that target specific crimes, including animal cruelty and prostitution.
The effort is an attempt to slow the tide of illegal immigrants into the county, Arizona's most populous, said Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Upon his initial election as sheriff of Maricopa County in 1992, Joe Arpaio immediately began instituting changes at county jails. These new measures included serving less expensive meals to inmates and issuing them pink underwear as part of the jails' uniforms pink underwear and ordering the use of pink handcuffs.
One of his most criticized decisions was the construction of a tent city that housed both men and women. Some inmates in the facility claimed that they were mistreated. He also created an all-female chain gang.
"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," Arpaio said. "They ought to stay cool, stay in Mexico and wait until this illegal immigration problem is solved. If they don't do that and they come to Maricopa County, they're going straight to jail."

TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO - HE IS THE MARICOPA COUNTY SHERIFF AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER AND OVER.
THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY:
Sheriff Joe Arpaio (in Arizona) who created the "tent city jail":
He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them.
He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails. Took away their weights. Cut off all but "G" movies.
He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city projects.
Then he started chain gangs for women so he wouldn't get sued for discrimination.
He took away cable TV until he found out there was a federal court order that required cable TV for jails. So he hooked up the cable TV again only let in the Disney channel and the weather channel.
When asked why the weather channel he replied, so they will know how hot it's gonna be while they are working on my chain gangs.
He cut off coffee since it has zero nutritional value.
When the inmates complained, he told them, "This isn't the Ritz/Carlton. If you don't like it, don't come back."
a lot of good things would get done.
