I see you have been misinformed or are blinded by ignorance!
He, Aprilo has been investigated more than once by the La Raza loving politicians in DC. They have tried numerous times to pry into his ethics and past records.
He is still there... He is elected, not appointed, so the federal government cannot just relieve him of his elected office. |

I did not go to Tucson but, I can tell you, on 8 from San Diego to Gila Bend all traffic had to stop at two Border Patrol Inspection Stations. They asked us if we U.S. citizens.

Tinman, do you think the peasants of Michoacan or Oaxaca study the ramifications of Central American illegal immigration to Mexico?
The people who wrote the immigration laws of Mexico are the people of Spanish blood who are in power, not the campesinos in the poor states who illegally immigrate to the US.

There are many laws to which I can not comprehend why it is a law. I obey none the less. Knowing its illegal is enough for the majority of honest people.

He can be prosecuted in federal courts and if convicted go to federal prison as many elected politicians who have been convicted of crimes. And if he was in prison he obviously could no longer be sheriff (maybe in Louisiana, but not in AZ)
There is a widespread unconfirmed belief in Arizona that Arpaio has "protectors" in high places who have kept him from facing what's due to him. The only rumored "protector" I've ever heard named is Janet Napolitano, but I have no factual evidence as to this. |
