Sheriff Arpaio Knows How to Secure the Border
Hands down, Joe Arpaio is the toughest sheriff in America. And although he is most well-known for his tough treatment of prisoners, Arpaio has over 30 years experience with different federal drug enforcement agencies, and, as the former head of border and drug enforcement in Texas and Arizona, he is one of the country’s leading experts on how to shut down illegal immigration and cross-border drug trafficking.

His is a hard-core, no-frills approach to incarceration, with 10,000 Maricopa County, Ariz., prisoners held in old Army surplus tents, fed on bologna sandwiches, and clothed in black-and-white striped, old-style prison uniforms and pink underwear.
His prisoners have worked on chain gangs, and they are forbidden fancy gyms, cigarettes, entertaining television and even salt and pepper.
Although prisoners would not agree, Arpaio, 76, has become an American folk hero of penology.
His new book, “Joe’s Law: America’s Toughest Sheriff Takes on Illegal Immigration, Drugs and Everything Else That Threatens America,” co-authored with Len Sherman, presents a bold new approach to finally, once and for all, shutting down America’s borders to criminal Mexican people-smugglers, fence-jumpers and drug peddlers.
Despite his experience, neither politician nor president has ever asked Joe Arpaio what we should do to plug up America’s sieve-like borders. He recently revealed his plan to Newsmax in an exclusive interview.
While the knowledge is there, don’t expect Candidate McCain to allow it to get to be put to use.
He has hired as one of his closest advisors Juan Hernandez, who has been quoted as saying:
We must not only have a free flow of goods and services, but also start working for a free flow of people.
“Hispanic Republicans here in Nevada had a chance to speak by conference to Sen. John McCain and many of us were appalled to learn that his National Director of Hispanic Outreach is none other that Dr. Juan Hernandez, notorious for his open borders stance. How can McCain reconcile the fact that he says he “learnt his lesson w/the American people” with choosing as his Hispanic Ntl. Dir. someone whose views and interests are so clearly anti-security and not in the interest of the American people or for that matter us legal Hispanic immigrants. Can someone question him directly on this?”
Short answer is: don’t bother. He’s just lying to get elected and then he will ram through amnesty.
