Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio will kick off a crime-suppression sweep Monday at 5 p.m., according to his office.
This two-day sweep, which the sheriff says will be county-wide and will include his posse helicopter, will focus on locating human smuggling operations.

There was an article in the newspaper yesterday about the crime rate going down in the City of Phoenix and I believe this is one of the reasons. Way to go JOE!!!
pplbt, in other words ick
Keep up the great work Joe.. we love you in Verrado
How long will it take before the haters pop up and write smack.
Love JOE! I get so sick of people's rhetoric about him! Blah, blah, blah, you're not legally here, we don't care what you have to say because we will vote him in again...get over it! I wish they would have put Joe in as Secretary of Homeland Security. Current administration, especially "president" ineffective, useless drivel mongers! I wish more people like him were in charge, I like people who actually READ the law and FOLLOW the law. Look at the laws, he is not violated any statute or act.
Illegals are criminals and should all be deported now before they completely over-run every State.
Sheriff Joe is sworn to uphold the very laws that this Country was built on and anyone with the intension of giving emnesty to criminals is not too American,votes should not be more important then the American.
All of the Joe cheerleaders are out in force again. I guess the goons from his posse stay up nights patrolling the boards as well in an attempt to influence public opinion. Pathetic. Resign Joe, while you still can with honor.
I am sure the Department Of Justice was there watching. It is too bad that our local law enforcement is so out of control that it has to be watched like a child.
Sheriff`s Office is not out of control,it`s trying to remove the criminals or illegals as we Americans call them and it`s no different then what Mexico does to their illegals but we do it in a nicer way.Don`t like our laws ,leave.
Children born to illegal parents-are citizens of the Country that the illegal parents were naturalized in,Fourteenth Amendment.
Out of control means illegal search and seizure. It is one of the principals our founding fathers had in mind when they drafted the constitution. You would think that Joe would have read it at least once in his long career. You don't harass citizens because you can, not talking about illegals although the same rules should apply. Abuse of power is abuse of power. If you investigate some poor slob because you don't agree with them on an issue, or you don't like them, then you are abusing you power, period.
Why not go after the real criminals. Those being the dead beat parents who refuse to pay there monthly obligations.Its a win win situation the obligee gets paid and the obligor gets to work from the work furlough program.Be reasonable that is what your really getting paid to do.
Joe is a consumate politician that uses sensationalism and sacrifices others to gain notoriety. He needs to go. He is an embarrassment to Arizona joining in a long list such as Symington, Mecham, Keating, etc. Go Joe, Go...
P.S. The only thing that he should be commended for is his treatment of animals; but by know means should he hold a post caring for their welfare since he would probably load Mexicans in to the pound and spray them down with water and call it humane.
The main thing I will always remember about the Sheriff is the incident with the Neo Nazi thugs a few months ago. During a protest the Nazi thugs said to Joe, " We Got your back Joe." I remember that because as an African American, it brings back so many memories about the bigoted sheriffs of the southern US. Nazis in a police uniform. That incident taught me every thing I need to know about Joe the bigot Arpaio. I will never forget that. He can deny that he knew who those guys are all he wants. I know what I saw and heard.
I watched the 10:00 News last night. I saw the 2 illegals with 150lbs of Pot in their Car that were being chased by DPS and caused a collision with multiple innocent people. I saw the illegal Rapist had been caught, then I saw MCSO with a Van full of 18 illegals on I-17. What part of illegal are these people having an issue with? Sheriff Joe is not the guy who should be addressing this, but the fact is he seems to be the only one who is! I wish Joe would continue what he is doing, although I wish that he'd avoid the public attention at all costs. When you showboat, others will attempt to tear you down. If you just get it done, your support only grows.
The United States Constitution was made for American Citizens,not for every Country in this world,that`s why it`s called the US Constitution.Mexico has their Constitution and they enforce it with with jail time and deportation.To this anonymous african american,it`s how you present yourself that will show others what you are made of,not your color.This is not one of your southern states.The illegal represents a third world country which is what mexico has become with the drug cartels in charge.
Stay with it Joe. Lets look at the number of people he has put into custody and how many more jobs that will give the rest of us, Now..lets look at the crime rate..all of it. Going down. Oh..gee. Let me take a few months and figure this out, My- My.
Comen on people...not all your good deeds and wish's will get you into heaven.
Wayne
Whats the difference between Joe and Hitler? Hitler wanted all of the Jews gone, Joe wants all of the Mexicans gone! Maybe he needs to move to another country that has no Mexicans!!
You are going to tell us how much the sweep will cost us. How much will it save us in crime and many other expenses?
I think he is doing a good job stopping the crime that illegal immigration brings to the valley. Keep up the good work sheriff Joe.
Perhaps all the mexicans should disappear and we won`t have to see our tax dollars being dumped on those who should not be here and who have become criminals because they broke the Federal Immigration Laws when they crossed illegally into "our" Country.What`s a matter,can`t your great country support you that you need our tax money to feed you and house you also,just go home so we will not dish out billions of our American dollars on you,go clean that border you distroyed by leaving your mess behind.
I think Sheriff Joe is out of hand. My last name is Rodriguez by Marriage I was born in Arizona and I was pulled over for a minor traffic stop and was asked if I was a citizen. A routine stop turned into an hour of of the sheriff department drilling me because I have a hispanic last name. Face it, there are alot of people here that are not citizens and they are not ALL hispanic. We have canadian, Arabic etc commting crimes and NO one ask them questions...It is all racial......
Thugs come in many forms. Joe Arpaio, and those who support him, are not thugs nor are the vast majority of them racist. Far more who oppose him are racist bigots than the bulk of Arizona residents who support and respect our sheriff, and will continue to do so, despite the one-sided attacks on his policies.
Get over it. You're in the wrong and he's right in what he's doing. He's constantly attacked (because he matters) by a small, militant, racist minority of "goons" who wish they could matter more, but nobody likes or respects your poorly thought out, racist opinions. Oh, except the few, vocal, annoying people like you.
And yes, you should respect what he's done for the thousands of stray animals that he's saved from certain death.
Think about it,anytime a mexican is pullled over for a violation,right away they yell racist,everyone is out to get them.There are many illegals driving without insurance and they could careless if anyone is injured or killed because right away they run back to mexico,what kind of person is that,i say hunt them down and jail them for life.Respect our laws or the Sheriff will come after you or just do us a favor and stay in mexico until you are placed in your resting place.
DEMOCRACY IN ACTION, JOE IS HERE TO STAY
Wathced the report on Iglesis tonight where the station said he is a conservative repluclican who was fired by Gonzales during the Bush term. My question is, how can someone be conservative and part of that mass firing. All the news said these were political actions, I assume against Democrats. It doesn't make sense. Channel 5 can you add this to your investigation, I would think Iglesis is libral attorney or perhaps he was fired for a lack of skill as the Sherrif says.
Joe gets closer each time to getting unelected, it won't be long before he is out of a job. I do not hate Joe, but he has in many ways overstepped his boundaries and has shown that his actions can be racist and unfair.
Joe is the only one who cares about enforcing the law on illegal immigration. WE SUPPORT SHERIFF JOE!!!
Closer to unelected? You didn't see his margins in the last few elections he won have you?
I think Joe is doing a very good job here in the valley. If more law enforcement did their job, we would not so many of illegals here. They break the law when they cross the border, what other crimes do they commit before they are caught? If they came over the right way, we would not care. The illedals are law breakers from the first step on our soil. My grandparents came from Italy and Germany, they learned to speak english. They came here leagly. Also they blended into American life! Not expecting everything handed to them
Keep up the good work sheriff Joe. I'm glad the voters decide instead of the biased media. Channel 5 has gotten so bad I can hardly stand to watch anymore. The stimulous $ for the state of AZ was another poorly presented piece tonight. Hopefully the great citizens of AZ are bright enough to get accurate information from other sources. Other than weather & sports, this channel is comical entertainment at best.
Keep up the great work, Joe!
loves sheriff joe..................at least one elected official does what he was hired for. one out of thousands..........thks sheriff joe.
I wish more States, Counties and cities had people like Sheriff Joe. Keep up the good work and Thank you for all you have done
From Don Baird, Scottsdale
Arpaio appeals to the lowest emotion of the pack: hate. I don't like illegals being in our country any more than anyone else and I voted for Arpaio untill the last election, but he has become a thug. He is a thug who believes that he can do anything and get away with it. Why? Because he is appealing to those who have come under the spell of the mob.
I urge you who are blindly cheering for this Nazi thug to wake up and again support the rule of law. Cease feeding the ego of this egomaniacal twit.
I CANT BELIEVE YOU PEOPLE THAT SUOPPORT THIS MAN HE IS OBVIOUSLY BREAKING THE LAW AND RACIAL PROFILING PEOPLE! AND NOT JUST RANDOM PEOPLE BUT JUST HISPANIC PEOPLE! SOMEONE NEEDS TOO TERMINATE THIS FOOL!
Joe needs to remember the plight of Italians who came to this country illegally 80 years ago. Does the term WOP, without papers ring a bell?
Boy, the Joe supporters are right, all Arpaio wants to do is enforce "his" idea of the law. This afternoon he said his Deputy Stoddard, who was found guilty of contempt after foolishly taking papers from a briefcase, will not hold a press conference and apologize, even though that is what Judge Donohoe ordered. Way to pick and choose which laws you will follow and which ones you'll ignore Sheriff Joe, no double standard there!
Let Joe do his job. He has done more for this State than anybody else.
Calling this self-important, self-serving narcissistic tool a dirt-bag slanders true dirt-bags.
This sub-human is a disgrace to law enforcement.
All I can say is Sheriff Joe is saving tax dollars in the long run by catching illegals. I am tired of my 2-person household paying out $800 each year in taxes for social services illegals use up. If those who think this is great to give up $800 each year, please take my share.
Whether Sheriff Joe is upholding the law or not, is beside the point in my opinion. He is antagonistic, abusive, racist, and downright ignorant. It's his way or no way, which is not how a person of power should hold himself. What happened to the theory of "Leading by example." If I were to parent the way he leads I would be arrested for child abuse. He definitely needs to go!!!!
Sheriff Joe has outlived his usefulness. I think he is starting to suffer from some form of dementia. What are you going to do when he decides to go after Gays, blacks, Muslims or anyone else he feels is a threat?
We are very lucky to have a man like Sheriff Joe to fight crime in Arizona. Evey LAW ABIDING CITIZEN should be very thankful for Sheriff Joe. I do understand why you wouldn't like what he is doing if you break the laws!!!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU JOE for all your hard work. There are many people in the state of Arizona that are very thankful for you and all that you do to fight crime and keep us safe.
We will continue to VOTE for you everytime you run for Sheriff. -Law abiding citizens for Joe
I wish you would go federal, your doing a great job. I wish we would have someone like you in California. I'm tired of peoplr being sorry for the illegals that steal documents, and then we as citezens have to pay the price!!
Go Joe, even though I ;live in California I so support your actions. Thanks!!!!
It would be wonderful if we had more elected officials who took their job as seriously as Joe. He does his job well and it's too bad that he also has to fight other elected officials to do what he was hired to do for the citizens! THANK YOU JOE!
It is not surprising that Sheriff Joe keeps getting re-elected. The people are tired of law enforcement types who coddle criminals and fail to enforce our laws for the sake of political correctness. Sheriff Joe has established a national reputation for being a no-nonsense lawman. I would bet there are hundreds of counties that would like to have a sheriff as dedicated and effective as he is. And there are lots of lawmen who wish they had the balls to be as bold as he is in enforcing our laws. Keep up the good work, Joe. We're behind you 100%
SHERIFF JOE FOR PRESIDENT. ANYONE WHO STILL CAN NOT SEE WHAT THE INVADERS ARE DOING TO THIS COUNTRY ARE JUST BLIND. DESTROYING ,AND DRAINING THIS COUNTRY . YOUR MORE THAN WELCOME, BUT YOU MUST DO IT LEGALLY. WE MUST FILTER OUT THE TRASH.
It is time for some fresh blood in Maricopa county and the Republican party. Dinosaurs like Joe have got to go.
The KPHO "reporter" started her biased report on the Sheriff last night with the point that the Sheriff loves news conferences (about the MCSO's business) but hates one now because a judge ordered one for one of his employees. How about a judge ordering the reporter to apoligize to the Sheriff for her clearly biased reporting? Would KPHO go along with that? KPHO no longer reports the news, it tries very, very, very hard to slant the news in the liberal leftwing direction the so-called news media personnel loves to identify with with. SHAME ON YOU, KPHO for your failure to be impartial. News with you guys are a JOKE!
I love him. He is doing his job,period!He is catching criminals and getting them off the street. I think he is doing a great job. Keep it up Joe!!!
Sometimes people are willing to believe whatever lies they are told out of convenience. The old dinosaurs who vote for Joe fall into this category. The Republican party reform movement must continue. Guys like Joe have got to go.
Way too go Joe. LEGAL AMERICAN'S ARE 100% behind you. Please don't stop more must be done, just read the headlines see the name of the criminals and tan. NEXT IS THE MUSLIMS IN THE US ARMED SERVICES DUH.
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
When I tell people where I live, nine out of ten make some comment about this clown. His methods are 200 years behind the times. But Arizona needs to change as a whole; just changing law enforcement officers will not be enough.
JOE RULES
I think that too much power is bad and Joe is using his power. He has the power now but everything has an end and I hope that Joe learn this too.
Take a look at the money this county has paid to settle lawsuits that are directly related to his actions. He is a blowhard who loves attention and costs our county millions of dollars.
THANK YOU JOE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. I WISH THE REST OF OUR LEADERS WOULD HEAR WHAT AMERICAN'S REALLY FEEL ABOUT THE ILLEGALS. I AGREE HE SHOULD RUN FOR PRESIDENT.
He is a true hero. Thank you Joe America's love you.
Gotta love comments like this,
"THANK YOU JOE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. I WISH THE REST OF OUR LEADERS WOULD HEAR WHAT AMERICAN'S REALLY FEEL ABOUT THE ILLEGALS. I AGREE HE SHOULD RUN FOR PRESIDENT."
Canned, to the point, extremely pro Joe, and most likely typed by his goons. It is so obvious. I'll bet that 90% of the pro Joe comments are typed by Joe's own people or his posse not actual voters. Another example of Joe trying to manipulate public opinion. Very sad and again demented. But why should I or anyone else expect anything different at this point?
I am a voter, and you better believe I will vote for this man. A sheriff that enforces the laws of my country, not the illegals. Who seem to think they have a voice. I urge everyone to contact your Reps and tell them how fed up with them ignoring us the people. AMERICAN
I think he sould be the Attorney General of the United States!
Also, I think "other" counties in the U.S. should learn from his manner of managing a jail system.
by: A.J. Wold
To be an attorney general you must first be an attorney. Joe does not have the education to be the attorney general. Let me guess AJ, you would be in favor of having a former horse show organizer as the head of FEMA? Retard.....
I FOR ONE WILL TAKE ONE JOE, IN MY COUNTRY ANYDAY OVER THE MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS.
60 Years ago some bigoted WASP said,
"I FOR ONE WILL TAKE ONE JOE SMITH SHERIFF OF NYC, IN MY COUNTRY ANYDAY OVER THE MILLIONS OF WOPS."
Amazing what 60 years can accomplish for a group of immigrants.
Sheriff Joe is a hero to the people of Maricopa County, AZ and an example of taking initiative in law enforcement (something the Feds should learn from, particularly regarding the problem with illegal aliens and their crimes). Stop ignoring the problems these illegals create, people! Show appreciation for the one law enforcement chief that is willing to take a stand and DO something about it!!!
A "Hero" protects the weak and does not exploit the weak for his own political gains. Joe only cares about his image with the bigots who vote for him. Hero? No. Opportunist? Yes.Spin your BS elsewhere.
Keep up the great work Joe! Im glad someone in our state is out there to do the job that nobody else seems to want to do. Myabe sooner than later people will start taking the right steps in order to gain citizenship.
You got to love the post, from the morons who call JOE and I a racist ,because he inforces the law and I back him. all I have to say to you is you better have your green card, because we are coming for you. YOUR DAYS OF DRAINING THE US IS ABOUT TO AN END OUR GOVERMENT MAY IGNORE US, BUT WE THE PEOPLE ARE PRETTY DAM TRIED.
I applaud Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Being in the United States illegally is against the law. If I was in Mexico, Canada, or Russia illegally I would be arrested. Their jails are much worse than ours. A phoenix police officer was killed in a car accident by a drunk illegal alien. That is plenty reason to enforce immigration laws. I work in the medical field and have seen law enforcement let go illegal aliens and Border Patrol tell the officers to let them go. That needs to stop!
As the founder of an East Valley neighborhood watch ; I would like to know why Arpaio does not do these so-called crime sweeps in the county islands. After all, county islands ARE his sole jurisdiction yet they are some of the most blighted and crime ridden areas. If these sweeps are truley for crime then why aren't they sweeping for ALL crimes ? Not just the ones that hispanics commit ? We have ALOT of white drug abusers and dealers ; why no sweep for them ?
Because sweeping for illegals gets Joe the most press, duh.
I have voted for Joe in several elections however I he lost me in this last election. His zest for the limelight and ever shifting right wing support is real cause for concern. This anti Dan Saban attack ad was the one that turned me completely off to Sheriff Joe and his supporters.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCkHpu_tyVo
I think he's doing a pretty good job, except more needs to be done. America's are fed up with illegals , and at least he hears us.
There should be a mandatory retirement age for all politicians. That age should be 65. This would get rid of a lot of the old outdated ideas and policies right of the bat and Arpaio.
Americans are fe-up with illegals. We need more people in high office like Joe. Joe should be President. Maybe then we could rid this country of illegals once and for all.
Joe for retired angry golfer! Now that would be a fitting use for his talents.
Thank you Joe. Keep up the great work.
My advice is to arm yourself, our goverment is not protecting us they are destroying us on purpose, from the inside to enslave us. THERE IS NO MORE AMERICA IT THE NORTH AMERICAN UNION . Arm yourself and educate yourself everyone whites, blacks, hispanics the few rule the world, why do we allow them.
You want to know why guys like Arpaio exist and are in power? It is because we have just gone through 20 years or government run by guys who are never questioned when they shout all people down who oppose them. We have had 20 years of stubborn buffoons like Joe in power wrecking this country by rule by mob mentality. The baby boomer generation is ageing and will soon be out of power. Their ideas will hopefully go with them. What Americans are really fed up with are jokers like Joe who love a the limelight of the press and love the self masturbation their ego gets from all of the Joe lovers out their. Self Serving, self worshipping, ego maniacs, who put their own interests above community and country.
Deputies destroy to cover up crime suppression data, deputy admits in deposition:
http://vvoice.vo.llnwd.net/e14/4130920.0.pdf
That recording contains no surprises. I am sure the MCSO folks are guilty of so much more than that. This is only the beginning. The FBI / DOJ investigation is far from over.
Joe styles HIMSELF as the toughest sheriff in America. Let's not forget his frantic phone call when he and his vastly overpaid chief deputy were being beaten up in a Scottsdale parking lot by a lone hairdresser. He likes publicity stunts that are self-promoting, but where are the statistics that show a decrease in major crime? He goes after people with zero political power because they make an easy name for him and increase his political capital. Nobody like crime, or criminals- so why not dehumanize them, humiliate them, to make Joe Arpaio look tough. Has it reduced recidivism in his jails? What's the real cost of food in his jail system? When it comes to fudging the facts with statistics, he's a practiced politician. He's in office, like most incumbents- because people are too lazy to find the facts. It's not that hard. And the news programs are all too happy to broadcast anything that will be good for ratings- facts optional. Anyone know the closure rate for homicides committed in his jurisdiction? It's among the lowest in the nation. His deputy violated a man's constitutional rights on camera in a courtroom in front of the "judge", and Joe backs the deputy. That says everything you need to know about his respect for the law. When you look beyond the publicity (and he spends lots of your tax dollars on that), and check the facts- he's not a good law enforcement officer. Evidently he's a very capable politician though. I guess he makes people FEEL safe, which in my mind is not nearly as good as making people actually safe.
One more thing? He constantly complains about his low budget. But how does he prioritize spending? It seems that whatever raises his public profile takes precedent: Maricopa county has spent lots of money defending this tough guy. Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia:
From 2004 through November 2007, Arpaio was the target of 2,150 lawsuits in U.S. District Court and hundreds more in Maricopa County courts, with more than $50 million in claims being filed,[38] 50 times as many prison-conditions lawsuits as the New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston jail systems combined.
I'm not impressed, and I am as afraid of him as I am of the criminals. The only human rights he respects, it seems, are his own.
sheriff joe r piehole is a criminal with a badge.his antics of investigating anybody who comes up against him politicly should send red flags to the fbi officals who are investigating him.how can the local people be so blind of this guy.
After reading about the grief Arpaio has inflicted on so many other people I find it kind of humorous that he does not enjoy being investigated himself. How ironic, to discover how unpleasant it is to have federal law enforcement watching your EVERY move 24/7/365 when you have sanctioned doing the same thing to countless others.
Joe is doing a great job!! I'm proud to have him as my sheriff. He's cracking down on the illegals. Joe and his posses are the only law enforcers who have the guts to face the problems head on. GO JOE! Thumbs up!
If your not breaking the Law you have no reason to fear him!!
"If your not breaking the Law you have no reason to fear him!!" - Yeah tell that to the poor county supervisor, or that poor woman he investigated for revenge who was guilty of getting her daughter a job. Punishable by ruining your life? No. The man is Archie bunker with a badge. He needs to retire and go play golf.
Never underestimate the power of black magic.
Keep up the good work, Joe. The winter visitors appreciate your efforts.
Yeah, the winter visitors appreciate your efforts because they never hire illegals to do their gardening or laundry.
I can't understand why people get down on Joe for doing exactly what we elected him for. Without this guy we'd be up to our ears in illegals and the crime that follows them. The only people that complain about our sheriff are the ones he's after. Let the man do his job. I'm behind him 100 percent.
I love the fact he stands up to the political pressure and does the right thing in spite of the liberals. Not too many good people left like Joe. And the fact he keeps getting elected tells me everyone feels that way. Keep up the good work Joe and keeping us safe!
I am about as liberal as Ron Reagan was. I want more Republicans of the Mccain variety not the Arpaio types. The mean nasty guys with few ideas and nothing left but bigotry and anger. No thanks.
I agree with you there. There is no need for nasty people like Joe in Arizona politics. Haven't we had enough embarrassing politicians in this state? Remember Ev Mecham and Fife Symington?
Joe is today’s HITLER! Yes I said it! What did Hitler do? He rounded up Jews only because he blamed them for his failures during WWI! Joe is round up illegal immigrants just because of his failures as a sheriff and has nothing better to do! Instead of focusing on the ppl who come to WORK the jobs all most of YOU people don’t want to work in the first place....look for the real criminals
. The rapists, robbers, drug dealers, and so on. No I don’t agree that it is right that they come illegally....but what you do when your child begs you for food and you don’t have any money to buy some...? You do what ever it takes! Joe needs to stop...but it doesn’t matter...GOD will be the real judge at the end...I am just standing up for my community, my culture and for what is right. And remember...who worked their butts of for your huge 2 story house? Who most likely picked the fruits and vegetables you put in your mouth, who cleaned that office you called work? these are all jobs an average American wont do! And they...the immigrants take it! AND IF IT WERNT FOR IMMIGRATION THIS COUNTRY WOULD BE NOTHING!
[It is sad it takes a sophomore in high school to think more reasonable and to stick up for what’s right]
[For all you hatters.....YES I was born here and proud but don’t forget my roots...]
I don't believe Joe is Hitler. I do believe Joe has a police force that acts like Hitler's SS. He always says, "If you are not breaking the law you have nothing to fear." I bet Hitler's SS guys said the same thing after they kicked some poor innocents' door in. He goes on fishing expeditions against his enemies. That is not the American way.
I am sure that all of the "Go Joe" comments were from white people. Not from the rest of us who are harrassed and tortured by this monster of man. I thought when I moved to AZ 8 years ago that I would spend the rest of my life here. Now I can't wait to get out of this very racist county and state.
I now understand why Arizona was the last state to recognize the King holiday and only did so because they lost the billions from Super Bowl visitors. I am going to give you all this state. I suppose everyone needs a place to live, even racist who have a complete disregard for the Constitution of the United States and any real Christian values. You can have Arizona.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio has been a valued asset to fighting crime in Maricopa County. We need someone like him to enforce the law. I vote for him everytime he's up for election. He's tough on crime, but shouldn't any Sheriff be? Some feel he's not "politically correct". I question that by saying, what does that have to do with enforcing the law? That he does well.
From the sounds of the pro Joe comments the comments almost sound like comments directly from Joe or his underlings. How funny! They are trolling the message boards to spread the propaganda! lol!
This goes out to all of the people who claim the MCSO has helped to reduce crime in Maricopa County. Most of the reductions in Crime over the past few years are a direct result of the efforts of other local law enforcement agencies such as the Phoenix PD. Most other law enforcement agencies in Arizona view the MCSO as a joke and they see them as dangerous and undisciplined.
a+ for joe he seems to be the only one around to enforce the illegal problem that is costing us taxpayers millions.and they appear to commit 80% of the crime
True integrity is holding strong to your beliefs and doing that which is "right" when faced with circumstances that could have either praise or negative repercussions. Like it or not, our land has laws and their enforcement ensures us our liberties and freedoms. They are not always convenient and they ALWAYS come with a sacrifice. This man does what he has been charged to accomplish -- to enforce the law. Not "his" laws, but those created by others. I like to think that I would have similar strength and courage to do what is, to many, an unpopular task. It's not personal to him -- law is law. I admire his strength.
My name is Anthony Choppi in Mesa and I am not afraid to speak out against Joe and will do so for as long as I have breath in me. Ok I have read alot of comments about what a good job Joe is doing. So you people would also say that Hitlers S.S. and the KGB in communist Russia did a good job also. He harasses public officials who stand up to him , he harasses citizens who oppose him, he violates human rights,he feeds food that is stamped "not for human consumption" to people in his custody and he needs to be stopped. All of you Joe supporters only focus on is the illegal aliens that he has rounded up but you over look all the bad he has gotten away with. Law is law and he has broken as many as half the people he has busted.
Mister T
Oh, now Joe's violations of the law in pursuit of revenge are about integrity. Is it too much to ask to have law enforcement officials held to a higher standard than the rest of us. I don't think it is. Abuse of power is abuse of power and any public official guilty of abuse of power should be forced to resign. This is America not some third world country.
Sheriff Joe is simply one of the very few elected officials who is actually DOING HIS JOB! This is why he IS so popular with people who think that laws apply to everyone! It's the same reason why he is so hated by those who do not. I can't believe KPHO is conducting yet another investigation of him. Portraying themselves as having concern for Arizona citizens first and foremost but if that was ever true, how did the state's 2 billion dollar defecit happen? What have they been doing to hold those responsible elected officials accountable. What about the constant lip service about closing or guarding our borders...with little to no real action. KPHO, try a more worthwhile investigation that is truly in the law abiding public's interest.
I think the Sheriff is the best thing to happen to this nation and many other agencies could learn that we as Americans are not going to put up with crap anymore. This nation is falling a part because people are afraid and they sell out before they are everr willing to do anything about it. Sheriff Arpaio is one man who has not sold out our nation and he enforces strict laws. For that I want to say thank you and great job!! Well in tough times we need a tough man to do great things and the Sheriff is the man he is great at stopping crime. The jail he has puts fear in the criminals they don’t want to go to the “tent city jail” and wear pink jump suits. Sheriff Arpaio does a great job. With any one who does a great job there are always people he will have shown up not doing their job and they will always be there to try and bring him down. If Sheriff Arpaio were to run for Governor You bet I would vote for him! He does what it takes to drive the crime out and make our cities a safer place he is one of the few men left in this nation that follows the law and enforces it with out selling out. I would love for him to run for president because this Nation could be run so much better with a man like him in the White House.
Don't you all think that a man who may be running for governor would have a conflict of interest to all of a sudden be investigating his opponant? This man is completely out of control in his power trip over the people of Arizona. What is his job anyway? If you have ever been stopped by his jack booted thugs, waiting in line to be assessed (assessed for what?) you would know the kind of fear I had. I hope he is paying for his own way to campaign in CA, unlike his minions going to Honduras to do God knows what. Look at all the people posting on this line as anonymous... not even his supporters dare name themselves.
The young kids have a word for guys like Arpaio. The kids call guys like him "Haterz". A hater is an old, stuck in his ways, loser that hates others. Arpaio is a hater.
I wish he was president and I am not WHITE !!!!
The first question everyone should ask is what is the law? Then we should ask does Sheriff Joe's actions correlate whith the Law? Take for example: what are the laws if a person wants to immigrate to the United States of America? Now if a person immigrates to the United States, are they immigrating legally(according to the law's of the United States) OR are they immigrating illegally(not in accordance with the law's of the United States) if they are following the law they are a LEGAL IMMIGRANT, if they are not they are an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT!! Sheriff Joe is upholding the law! Adolf Hitler for those who did not take history in school committed genocide on the Jews. Examples of people who have committed genocide in history: Mao Ze-Dong(China 1958-1961 and 1966-1969, Tibet 1949-1950, 49-78,000,000 million people) Jozef Stalin(USSR 1932-1939, 23,000,000 million people) Adolf Hitler(Germany 1939-1945, 12,000,000 million people) how many Mexicans has Sheriff Joe committed genocide on? Answer Zero. My question to the media and the others who criticize Sheriff Joe are you scrutinizing him because he is breaking the law OR DO YOU HAVE YOUR OWN AGENDA? This will DEFINITELY show people what type of INTEGRITY you have. This boils down to one thing OBEY THE LAW and there should be no problem!!
Question? Is a rapist, child molester, drug dealer, murder, terorist, thief, drunk driver, illegal immigrant, or any known criminal that breaks the law in any way obove our laws in the US? NO. Now do we want a sheriff that is enforcing all the laws equally or one that will over look certian illegal activity. What if the illegal activity they choose to over look was child molestation or rape? Imagine how bad this would effect our society. It doesn't pay to have a sheriff turn a blind eye to any laws that are being broken, our society wil pay for it in the long run. This is comming from a man who is married to immigrant from mexico. We did it legally! So can the rest of the immigrant no matter what country they are from. Thank you Joe Arpio for the good job.
You can always tell a races they always cry racism. STOP CRYING RACISM!! I'm white and I've had mexican's, black's and Indian's make racist coments to me yet all you ever hear is how the white people are racist. Sometime I think it the other way around. So stope calling Sheriff Joe a racist and thank him for enforcing the law!! By the way my wife is Mexican and my pastor is black and I have a nephew thats Navaho.
Sheriff Joe was elected to uphold the law and that is what he is doing. What part of illegal don't people understand? Shame on the press for not supporting our elected sheriff. Our crime and drug problem is getting out of control and most of it is coming up from Mexico. The illegals are giving our good Hispanic neighbors a bad name.
Go Seriff Joe! We support you
Don from Mesa
Why don"t your investigative reporters get both sides of Sheriff Joe Your reports are so slanted against him that I feel that your station has a vendetta against Joe and I will not support your efforts You have lost a viewer in me and I will tell everyone I know to do the same There are cities that would love to have a Sheriff like this city has. Why doesn't your mgmt wake up. You do such a disservice to the rest of your citizens for the big mouths of a few and most of those few are lawbreakers!!!!!!!!!
Sheriff Joe is the best thing that Maricopa County has going for it. What is wrong with your news organization except that it is so far to the left that we do not get honest reporting from you. You can be assured after listening to your report tonight (four people you interviewed what is that all about???) that I will no longer listen to Channel 5.
Then there are those that are unhappy with how he is dealing with illegals....what was he elected to do!?!??!
Sheriff Joe you have all our support.
Dolores from Cave Creek
To the liberal media:
Thats a good question what is your agenda? you always try to make it look like the only thing Joe Arpio does is round up illegal immagrants. It probably doesn't support the liberal media's agenda to report the drug bust, drunk drivers, rapes, speeding, they just want to make Sheriff Joe look bad. They sould try reporting on things like this.
83% of warrants for murder in Phoenix are for illegal aliens.
75% of those on the most wanted list in Los Angeles, Phoenix and Albuquerque are illegal aliens.
40.1% of all inmates in Arizona detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.
29% (630,000) convicted illegal alien felons fill our state and federal prisons at a cost of $1.6 billion annually.
97.2% of all costs incurred from those births were paid by the American taxpayers.
53% plus of all investigated burglaries reported in California, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona and Texas are perpetrated by illegal aliens.
IT looks like the real problem is we are being invaded by illegal aliens thats right I said illegal aliens THEY ARE LAW BREARS!!!! get a dictionary and look up the definition of ILLEGAL then look up the word ALIEN and you will find there is a reason why they put these two words together in the English language, then look up the laws of the USA on how to become a US citizen.
Thanks Sheriff Joe for trying to save our country!!
This liberal media is on the Obama agenda. Whats the agenda you ask? COMMUNISM !!! and they will attack anyone who STANDS UP FOR WHATS RIGHT. Sheriff Joe enforces the law so they attack him. The reast of us need to stand for what is right to. Before it to late!!
The news use to report on crime now they call evil good and good evil Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil. When a person comes to the United States of America illegally thats called BREAKING THE LAW the bible says follow the laws of the land, Romans 13:1, 1 peter 2:13-17, titus 3:1 so if these illegal aliens are breaking the law by coming to the US illegally the are doing evil and if Shriff Joe is enforcing the laws he is doing good. ITS A NO BRAINER
Joe Arpaio you have my vote!
Thats some good stuff all you blogers that suport the sheriff, get all the law breakers Joe.
PS. channel 5 you better pay attention people dont like the news you are reporting on!!!!!!!
To bad Joe Arpaio wasn't on the "job" during the last decade when he allowed illegal immigration to overtake our fine county. But I guess he was just doing the job of any politico and was getting re-elected over and over and over by telling all you gullible fools what you want to hear..today it's illegals are ruining our county; tomorrow it's Obama is ruining our county; ten years ago Arpaio said it was prostitution was ruining our county. 5 years ago it was animal abusers..and on and on...
What doesn't channel 5 get? ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE ILLEGAL!
stop crying 5 years ago ten years ago and just obey the law!!!!
Sheriff Joe keep up the good work
Joe, there is a golf cart with you name on it at the retirement community you belong in. Go play golf. Go spend time with your grand kids. Retire. That is what old guys do.
When is KPHO going to get it right? Sheriff Joe happens to be a real standout because he is one of the few that is doing the right thing! He is actually trying to do what he was elected for! DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION, which is more than the criminal administration is doing. KEPP UP THE GOOD WORK, JOE!
My name is Dick Mason, I do nopt care what the illegal Mexicans say or the few legal ones that call sheriff's job profiling. When did you ever here of a blond hair English illegal alien coming across the Mexican boarder. If you get arrested in Mexico, you can bet you may see a lawyer in about one year. All the legal American Mexicans I have ever met or talked to wish these illegals would go away and never come back. KPHO has created this with their always going to the defense of the illegals, no matter what you want to call them profiled or not. They come here and rape. steal, rob, kill and whatever and the do gooders never complain about that. What ever happened to honest reporting. You are supposed to give the news not make it the way you want. I have watched KPHO for years. I retired 42 years ago and moved here and now I am wondering what is wrong with me, watching your made up news. You say you talked to a past US Attorney about this. You do not realize what he stated is that he would file against the sheriff with "what you have told him",not that he would or would not if given all the facts, not just what you tell him. For him to make an honest opinion, he would have to do a proper investigation. Also, he is of Spanish background. Please go back to providing the news as it is and not what you want it to be for the illegals and the other small group that wants the attention. Thank you.
Go Joe!
Joe can research all he wants!
That's a good thing.
If you are not a criminal you don't have any thing to worry about.
Any one taking my tax money better be squeaky clean and be ready to prove it.
We passed laws against illegal entry into the country not because we don't like people of a different color, after all we are all from somewhere else unless you are of American Indian descent,
but because we don't want other countries criminals here.
Especially bordering countries criminals doing crimes and running home when the heat is on. Then they come back, for more, when the heat is off!
Joe is doing what we pay him for.
In fact he is doing the biggest service a sheriff any where can do for his country! If you can't see that you are the ones with the problem! If every law inforcment agency would go by this simple rule our crime rate would drop by over 80% , a proven fact!
If you want, research him! I guarantee he is squeaky clean!
I for one do not want terrorists or any criminal hiding and committing crimes in my country. It's a tough job . It takes guts to do it! Is he realy the only one in our entire country? AMAZING!
I also think that the anonymous source that started this should be outed!
In your page asking for blogs KPHO 5, it says if you want your blog published put your name on it.
WELL YOU STARTED ALL THIS WITH AN ANONYMOUS PERSON SPOUTING HATE AND ANTI-SEMITIC RHETORIC.
YOU ARE THE HIPPOOCRITS AND YOU ARE HELPING TO HIDE CRIMINALS IN MY COUNTRY.
I THINK JOE SHOULD LOOK IN TO YOU KPHO 5'S MOTIVES.
WHY WOULD A LOCAL TELEVISION STATION WANT FOREIGN CRIMINALS IN THE COUNTRY?
MAYBE BECAUSE YOU VALUE MONEY MORE THAN COUNTRY! As ratings equal money?
TALK ABOUT A DANGER, TO THE COUNTRY! PRINT THAT!
Tom
ch5 is so into smacking Joe the don't even mention all the sex crimes that other cops are doing or the harrasing of privite people CK peoria the cops and mayor will keep you so busy that Joe won't even count and you will have more storys to tell
get a clue folks
your health care is higher because of the illegals.
yesterday 18 were in a acc in texas and now
in the hosp on your dollar!!
if the prev govenor did as good a job as JOE we would not be billions in debt.
GO JOE
A positive vote for Joe,
your investigative piece on Wednesday was pathetic, amateurish at best. Leave investigating to the police, and try to do a better job with the News
Ahwatukee Bob
Look at all of the bullsh*t posts by Joe supporters. I am glad a moved away from Arizona. What a backwards *ssed state. The main thing bringing this country down are the retards living in the red states.
To the person who moved away from Arizona, you obviously have had you mind warpped by all the liberal media. Remember you have a mind of you own so dig deep and find the facts for your self.
If you don't like a law, get it changed.
But don't go after those who have been given the responsibility of keeping us safe from criminals who think it is ok to break the law as long as you don't get caught.
When the people in charge disobey the law then the law is meaningless. Joe believes he is above abusing his power. This view makes him more dangerous for personal liberties than any politician or law enforcement official in recent memory. The FBI is investigating crimes against its citizens. If Joe had nothing to hide he would not have made such a big deal about the investigation. That would be the professional thing to do. Oh, I forgot. The MCSO is not viewed as a very professional law enforcement organization.
KPHO is the only news station I watch at 10 pm.
I like your segment "Tell it like it is" EXCEPT
when it comes to Sheriff Joy. When you do a story about Sheriff Joe, you put Him and all of
his Deputies in Harms Way. I like the way He
handles the Illegal problem. He is stopping all
the Brother's and Sister's of the people who did
us wrong on 9/11. Keep up the good work Joe.
Joe and any deputy are not above being investigated. When the people in power or in law enforcement cannot be investigated democracy fails. There are checks and balances in place to protect our liberties. Otherwise the people in power can do whatever they like to innocent citizens without recourse. There is a document called the constitution. When Joe and his deputies are not whipping their asses with the constitution they should read it.
GREAT JOB JOE,JANET IS OVER PAYED,DOESNT DO HER JOB,SHE IS ALL FOR BREAKING THE LAW,SHE DONT CARE IF ANYONE IS RAPED,MURDERD,CHILDREN ARE MOLESTED,LOST JOBS,ABUSING EVERYTHING,FREE FOOD,FREE MEDICAL,FREE HOUSING,MAYBE IF JANET WAS RAPED,OR MAYBE IF A ILLEGAL DRUNK DRIVER WITH 6-7 PREVIOUS D.U.I.'S THAT WAS NEVER DEPORTED HIT HER, AN SHE LOST BOTH LEGS,JUST MAYBE SHE WOULD THINK ABOUT DOING HER JOB !!!JANET IS A P.O.S.
Always changing the subject. This discussion is about Joe not Janet. Joe is the problem in this state not Janet. Janet is a respected homeland security chief. Joe is a man of self imagined importance. He believes he is more important than the Governor, the President, the Mayor and so on. His ego knows no bounds. He may end up being humbled by the Feds soon.
Sheriff Joe is the greatest.....Deport them all Sheriff Joe.............
I LIVE IN SAN DIEGO, CA AND ALL I CAN SAY IS SHERIFF JOE IS THE ONLY ONE WITH THE KA-HONAS TO DO HIS JOB. A JOB THE FEDS WON'T DO. HEY JOE MOVE TO SAN DIEGO SO I CAN HELP GET YOU ELECTED SHERIFF OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY. WE HAVE A BIG ILLEGAL ALIEN PROBLEM HERE. HEY ILLEGALS GO HOME. GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY AND COME BACK AFTER YOU WAIT IN LINE TO GET IN LIKE ALL "LEGAL" IMMIGRANTS. NO CUTTING THE LINE.
I can't believe anyone makes the comment that he should go after the "real criminals". What does the word ILLEGAL mean to them? Joe is trying to uphold the law. What kind of Sheriff would he be if he just ignored this issue? It's not because he or we don't like hispanic people!! It's anyone who is illegal, they just happen to be the majority! The illegels cost this country, ergo you and I, untold, enormous amounts of money. Have you ever read the statistics of how many times in one year the police respond to calls of kidnapping or other infractions that involve illegals?? The number is staggering? So many of them are some peoples definition of "REAL CRIMINALS"! Why is this okay with anybody?? It does not mean that I don't like to help people or that we are all uncaring, but being here illegal and all that goes along with it, is just plain wrong. I appreciate so much that we have someone like Sheriff Joe doing his best to support the rights of all of us here that are LEGAL.
Same tired rhetoric. "Joe is trying to uphold the law." Most of the recent investigations I have heard about are about the people Joe harassed not about the Illegal immigrations issues. Sounds like your boy Joe has a lot of other problems besides the illegal immigration issues.
I have to agree with the last poster. Any future legal trouble the sheriff has will most likely be related to improper investigation techniques against American citizens not illegals.
He is racist because he asks Mexican's if they are a citizen of the US? HMMM, where do a majority of Mexican's come from? I am assumming that if Caucasion people typically came from another country and he started questioning them, it would also be considered racist as well?
Illegal is illegal...meaning AGAINST THE LAW people. So he's following the law by getting rid of the illegal immigrants.
Sheriff Joe, we have and always will support you. I'm glad to know we have somebody in this state that is willing to make a dent in this evergrowing problem and not ignoring it like Governor Napalitano did.
JOE is terrible!! I can not believe that we have so many racists here in America. Do people really think these people are illigal because they want to be?? Do Americans really know how they are able to come over here legaly? They have to have 10 grand in the bank, own property and have a job. If this was the case why would they come here in the first place. My friend is married to an illigal and has three children with him. He has never had so much as a ticket. There is no way for him to become legal even though they have been married for 5 years and have children together. At any given moment the family can be torn apart if Joe gets his way. Then what? This family has to go on with out the father and husband? Should she get on welfare since her bread winner was taken from her? Should she go to Mexico with him? This system is so screwed up. Joe should go after criminals who are causing harm to others. I am all for shipping the theives, rapists, murderers, drunk drivers ect back to whereever they came from, but family people, where is the justice in that? Are Americans really so naiive to think that all the criminals here are from across the border? Check the prisons guys, there are just as many black, white, asian ect in jail as there are illigals. Also, what to know how messsed up the system is? I knew someone who's boyfriend was put in jail for trying to kill her, he was illigal. He was put in jail and then released for work release and the state never found him again. Why would they release a illigal mexican? Why would they not deport him. People like that should be deported. Can the sheriff answer why this illigal was released into society? He was released from his prison. The jails response was, he must have really not been illigal. Why would someone say they are illigal if they really weren't. Facts are, the prison screwed up and now she has to be scared about him finding her. Why do they not send the real criminals back?
So if I am being investigated...all I have to do is call KPHO & you will make it look like I am being picked on. COOL!! Hopefully our criminals are not above the law...but thanks for giving me the idea to be a cry baby to get out of trouble. So the people that are not cooperating in the investigations aren't really obstructing justice?? And KPHO "powers that be" think that is how justice is served? Finally it comes out...the media has nothing to talk about so they SHOW us how our elected Officials are crooks. How clever!! Is anybody listening?? If someone is a criminal they should be stopped. Thank you Joe. I know you were trying to make me feel sorry for the people being investigated...but you made me think maybe they were being investigated THEN jumped on your bully pulpit "Whine Whine Joe is being mean to me" NOW that is news!! I do want to thank you for showing AZ we elect crooks...I guess Joe just fits right in there. Too bad he doesn't give a crap what you say. I won't be listening either. OK!! I will be listening but I won't be buying it.
Connie Clawson
STFU and go back to patrolling the malls with the rest of the sherrif's posse Connie!
he stinks.
Joe is a Hero. We are fortunate he has the background he does and won't be pushed around by the liberals and politicians.
I love hearing Mexicans complain because one of their girlfriends married an illegal guy and they subsequently had a family here. Now if the guy gets deported American Citizens are bad guys?!?! WTF?!?
Everyone in Phoenix knows that the standard Mexican illegal strategy is to sneak over the border and have some kids. That way the kids are citizens and then the illegal parents can complain how life isn't fair if they get busted. Very Perverse Logic. Unfortunately we've been letting it go on for so long that illegals think they have some sort of "right" to be here and to work this scam.
I don't think so. I obey the laws of the U.S. and everyone else should also. It's actually quite simple, if you don't have a progressive political agenda that you are trying to force on others.

Really?
What? No Sheriff's posse members typing pro Joe propaganda today? WTF?
Joe Arpaio and his Pose work hard everyday to protect our laws and up hold them. The illegal aliens should be in fear, they are ILLEGAL, just like any white man, black man or a Legally imigrated Mexican, if you break the law, Joe will pick you up and hold you accountable. The illegals should follow the legal guidelines to Imigrate to the United States. We have more people coming from other countries, again, they follow the legal process. When they become Americans, they can celebrate with no fear of breaking any laws. A illegal should not marry an American and expect to be able to stay illegal. If they start a family, they should remember, the father/mother is illegal and could be taken out of the country at any time. We all must remember, we should be accountable for our actions in life. If I break the law, I know what is coming for me. Knowing I could end up in Tent City, I always abide by the laws.
The Illegals hang out in parking lots all the time, they are waiting to perform work for a person that is NOT accountable for abiding by the law. They too should be arrested.
Yeah, yeah the illegals blah blah blah. That is not what is probably going to get Joe indicted. What is most likely going to be his biggest problem is the illegal harassment of American citizens. Those are the crimes he is guilty of.
Frankly neither I nor most other law abiding county residents have a problem with Arpaio getting illegals out of here. That is his job! He was voted into office to enforce our laws.
I love how those supporting other agendas will never admit that they feel it is fine to break the law. I'd appreciate someone with a brain explaining this position. Please educate me.
Let me be Clear - Illegals are just that - ILLEGAL. It is Arpaio's job to get them the hell out of here. I don't care if they are poor or not. They are illegal and they need to be gone. The fact that they are poor drives much of the crime we are seeing. Don't kid yourselves.
People that don't break the law don't have a problem with being questioned.

Frankly, law abiding citizens DO have a problem with Arpaio. He harasses and intimidates people who disagree with him. Freedom of the press and of expression are the hallmarks of a Democracy. Harassing people who are only guilty of disagreeing with you IS a crime. Abuse of power is abuse of power. Many of the people complaining are law abiding and guilty of no crimes. Try again BUM, or should I say Sheriff's Deputy?
@ Anonymous,
If in fact a bunch real citizens actually have a problem with Arpaio then you should organize a group hug to get your progressive, liberal selves together and vote him out of office. Good Luck.
Like most of your ilk, your numbers are relatively small but your mouths are exceedingly large. If you listen to the media you'd think that most of the county shares your views, when in reality it's just a small number of loud mouthed goof balls like you. I guess that's the beauty of democracy. We actually get to vote on it and your self-righteous indignation still only nets you one vote. Bummer.
It would be convenient for you if I was a Deputy. Truth is I'm just a citizen that obeys the law, pays my taxes and expects everyone else to. Maybe that's new age thinking for you and your girl scout troop, but consider it.
Burn
If it is not Joes job to catch these law breakers, then whose job do you think it is? And why aren't you going after that group for not doing their job? It sounds to me that you are against the sheriff for personal reasons, and must not be Tax paying Americans. Any patriotic citizen should be in support of someone stepping up to save our country from these law breaking people. They come here looking for a better life for themselves and disrespect our country by abusing our Government systems. Go get'em Joe!!!
I am proud to say, as a resident of Arizona, and as an American that it is a true blessing to have Sherrif Joe doing the job he does!
I support him unconditionaly as he has proven withtout a doubt to be relentless in the pursuit of justice, and in keeping our streets safe. His crime sweeps and the rounding up illegal imigrants, on top of making jails a less than comfortable environment for criminals is what we need. And he does it while being fair, a balance that will always cause controversy.
Sherrif Joe should be federally commended for what he does, all in spite of opposition, a true sign of a real leader, and a man with uncompromising values.
Thank you Sherrif Joe!!!!!!!!!
Joe, keep up the good work. I believe there should imagration checks just like DUI checks. Set them up all over the state. If you are here illegialy you should go to jail. Breaking the law is just that breaking the law! If you are illegal be prepared to go to jail.
THE PROBLEM ISN'T JOE. THE PROBLEM ARE ALL THE ILLEGALS. WHY THE MEDIA CONTINUES TO TRY TO BRAINWASH THE PUBLIC WITH THEIR LIES AND SELF SERVING AGENDA IS SICKENING. TO THE FAT CATS RUNNING THINGS, YOUR TIME IS ALMOST UP. WE ARE WAKING UP. AND WE ARE PISSED.
I got pulled over by a hispanic cop the other day for what I thought was a stupid reason? did I play the race card and start calling the media for comfort? No I took my ticket like man..the race card is being played past the point of logical reasoning. it boils down to this. You support Joe if you love whats right. You hate Joe if your an illegal, criminal, or an air headed tree hugger. GO JOE! WE LOVE YOU! - MCCAIN, NAPPY, AND THAT WUSSY MAYOR OF PHONEIX GOT TO GO..Im thinking to Frisco with that loser former Mesa Chief of Police- Good place for the whole bunch of them.
I just want to thank all of you that have posted positively about Arpaio. I've never met him personally and have no political agenda other than obeying the law, reducing crime and doing the right thing.
Keep posting your thoughts. Remember most of us regular tax paying, law abiding citizens don't have the spare time that the people that are trying to railroad him do, we're normally working. They only get the upper hand if we are too busy to let our opinions be known.
You folks make me proud to be a resident of our County and State.
Thanks,

I think every elected official in Maricopa county needs to be replaced, so we have have some people who are mature enough to handle the problems facing the City Of Phoenix out of the spot light of the media.
Shall we get started in the next election folks.
I agree every elected official should be replaced...except Romney and Joe..they are the best..I think there is one illegal alien who comes on here everyday spouting of hate for Joe..I had to laugh at the poster who said this
" I want more Republicans of the Mccain variety not the Arpaio types"
LOL LOL LOL Mcain has been senator here dor decades, and I cant think of one piece of legislation he has promoted that benefits this state..sure nothing regarding border security..McCain may have been a war hero at one time, but he is defiantely a sell out today. The onlly thing I remember this loser from is the land scandle he got involved in with Charles Keating
GO JOE WE LOVE YOU ..THE BEST SHERIFF IN ARIZONA SINCE WYATT EARP
According to the Maricopa County Criminal Justice records, illegal aliens commit violent crimes at almost 3 times that of native born Americans.
- We spend about $1 billion annually in K-12 on illegal aliens.
- Arizona #2 in the World in kidnappings.
- Illegal alien abuse of our medical facilities has forced many to close.
- Illegal aliens use our deserts to dump their non-degradable garbage.
- Through increases in taxation, our representatives are stealing our property in order to redistribute our wealth to illegal aliens.
- In the U.S., 26 citizens a day are killed by the actions of illegal aliens (12 by stabbings and shootings and 13 by DUI and related crimes)
- Services we are required to provide to illegals are bankrupting our states and lowering our quality of life and quality of education.
- Tucson public schools use race based ethnic study courses to denigrate the U.S., inculcating loyalty to Mexico.
- Abetting illegals enables the culture of corruption they bring to grow: Kidnapping, ID theft, drug wars, murder, vehicular manslaughter, gangs, graffiti, drop houses, hostage taking, blackmail, rape and death during transport of illegals, home invasions.
- voting for sanctuary cities allows potential terrorists, who are illegals, to walk our streets with impunity (4 of the 5 leaders and pilots of the 9-11 terrorist were stopped by law enforcement and released and were in violation of our immigration laws. Had they been arrested 9-11 would have been averted.
Poor Sherrif Joe,
He does what he swore he would do when he took office, up hold the laws of this state and county. Yet when it comes to the modern day slaves(illegals) he is fighting not just the illegals, but the system that uses them and wants them here. Yes the system that runs our country(money) wants the modern day slaves here.
If you want to learn more about the systems in charge of us, check out my over one hundred blogs at www.myspace.com/unitedmajorityofamerica
I would suspect that the act of treason against the lawful citizens of these United States and the willful obstruction of justice in Maricopa county, perpetrated by one ( Lydia Guzman ) will ultimately be the death of her. I also suspect, that her illegal Mexican friends will be more than happy to hold the all revered ( Car Wash ) in her honor, although she is apparently devoid of any honor whatsoever, to help with her funeral expenses.
