Maricopa County Sheriff JOE ARPAIO was the topic of a story on the ABC Show 'Nightline' last night.
Here is the stroy from the Nightline web site:
'America's Toughest Sheriff' Takes on Illegals
Joe Arpaio Employs Controversial Methods to Cut Illegal Immigration in His County'
By JEFFREY KOFMAN
Oct. 18, 2007
Long before the sun comes up to bake the Arizona desert, the Maricopa County sheriff's deputies get ready for the day's pursuit.
Their prey? Illegal immigrants. Their method? Look for minor traffic violations. "Nightline" recently rode along with Sgt. Manny Madrid.
The objective is basically to make stops on these vehicles, screen these individuals [to see] whether they're in this country illegally," said Madrid.
With 4 million residents, Maricopa (which includes the cities of Phoenix and Mesa) claims to be the fastest-growing county in America. Illegal immigrants are helping fuel that growth with their numbers and labor, and in Maricopa County they aren't waiting for Washington to stop haggling over immigration reform. That's because they have a no-nonsense sheriff who likes to do things … his way.
He's Joe Arpaio, who after four terms as the elected sheriff, delights at being called "America's Toughest Sheriff." Arpaio has his own unique — and controversial — interpretation of state and federal immigration laws.
"One thing that I'm doing is enforcing the law,"said Arpaio.
"I think some people think that's unusual. I'm an equal opportunity law
enforcement and incarcerator — I lock everybody up. So when people say, 'Why is
he enforcing illegal immigration?' Well, because it's illegal, that's why I'm
doing it."
