The Gov should be commended on her approach to a terrible situation. No more playing tiddly winks and hoping things change. Man, do I love a STRONG woman!

The point is that you have no point. I haven't seen Brewer sans prompter but Barry....now that's a hoot.



YouTube - Obama, a complete idiot.

I said I was not claiming they were legitimate, just a starting point.

You can put a halo around all illegal aliens if you like, but a few of them murdered 3,000 people on 9/11. There may even be some murders committed by the angelic MS13.

weren't at War in Iraq in 1993 when he began his "Tent City" nor in 1996 when a retarded man died there who was arrested for trespassing. Having prisoners that are arrested for misdemeanors like shoplifters, ending up dead, is not something I'm impressed with. And neither should anyone else be.

New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston, for example, collectively housed more than 61,000 inmates per day. From 2002 through 2005, these same county jails had a combined 43 prison-conditions lawsuits filed against them in federal courts.

In the very same three-year time frame, despite housing a mere 9,200 prisoners per day, Sheriff Arpaio was the target of a staggering 2,150 lawsuits in U.S. District Court and hundreds more in Maricopa County courts.

His antics cost Arizona taxpayers money for all the lawsuits they have had to settle.

But I'll let you have your "hero". I think he is pathetic and
a sad excuse for a law enforcement officer. Simply criminal.

Simply criminal, could you point to the laws he has broken and been convicted of? We know that every immigrant that enters our country illegally is breaking the law and that is simply criminal.

Hate to break it to you, not every prisoner there is an illegal immigrant. I hope he gets convicted real SOON.

So, you want to convict an innocent man, a law man, and allow illegal immigrants to run free? Please reread my post, I never said that every prisoner was an illegal immigrant but I know that every prisoner has been convicted of breaking a law.

Maybe you can spend some time in his jail for jay walking or some other minor misdemeanor. One who got a two month sentence ended up dead.

Hopefully, he won't be "innocent for long". We have standards, even in prisons and jails - at least in the country, I live in.
