Joe Arpaio - "The toughest sheriff in the west"

I got an e-mail from my uncle the other day about Arpaio, I decide to Google his name and see what would come up. Quite interesting some of the info that popped up.

"Arpaio is among the state's most popular office-holders. He enjoys an 85 percent approval rating among voters in the county, which at 9,200 square miles is larger than some states, and includes the city of Phoenix. "

Granted, there are problems and some conditions do need to be addressed, but it seems the county is happy with him considering that they have re-elected him three times.

And here's something I find impressive. Source - http://www.mcso.org/

Arrests by Sheriff’s deputies of persons transporting or being transported illegally into Arizona

Month to date total as of 06/12/07: 546 illegals

Arrests by Sheriff’s deputies who, in the course of their duties, determine the arrestee is in Arizona illegally.

Month to date total as of 06/12/07: 177 illegals


And that's only this month, hmmm, sound like he's got the right idea to me, and they don't get an immeidate free ride back to Mexico either, they get to spend two years in jail first.

I noticed one thing though, everybody that is complaining about his tactics, either was an inmate or belongs to one of the liberal weeny organizations that wants us to molly-coddle prisoners, these people committed a crime and were sentenced to jail time as a PUNISHMENT, and that's what jail time should be!!!

Ok, that's my political rant of the day
