| Of course you have heard about Sherif Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Phoenix, AZ. He is the tough sheriff who makes his inmates wear pink suits, underwear, and socks. The prisoners live in tents in the Arizona heat, and when they complain he tells them the solders in Iraq live in tents with the same outside temperature and they did not commit any crime. He took over the county pound, has the prisoners work with the animals, and brought the county budget for stray animals to a fraction of what it was. His practices have been criticized by organizations such as Amnesty International, the American Civil Liberties Union [what else is new?], the Arizona Ecumenical Council, the American Jewish Committee, and the Arizona chapter of the Anti-Defamation League. The link above to sheriff Arpaio tells about his attitude and position on dealing with criminals. |  2008 Re-election Information Voters wanting to Oust Sheriff Arpaio |

Joe has also had his officers qualify for Immigration service for 7-8 years so they can not be accused of over stepping their authority. Joe turned "tent City " into a "haven" for lawbreakers to save the state and County millions of dollars in building a new jail. He took their "girlie" mags and their TV away saying this is not a resort but a place you will never want to come back to. ACLU made him put back TV's so he gave them the PBS channel only. He faught Janet Napolitano when she was governor and took nearly 1-1/2 Million dollars from his allowance for arresting illegal aliens which she did not consider criminals -unless the committed a crime AFTER illegally coming into the state... She said lets not call them Illegal Aliens but "Undocumented Immigrants"-it's enough to turn your stomach.Now she is "Unknowingly" Sec of homeland Security... Give me a break !!!!...
