Whether you like Sheriff Joe or not, you have to acknowledge his blatant disregard for being "politically correct" when it comes to enforcing our laws. Even our own President has become PC on the whole issue of illegal immigration, even supporting the recent bill that gave illegals an easy "road to citizenship". In our own state, both of our Senators, Kyl & McCain supported the bill and one of our most conservative representatives, Jeff Flake, supported it as well. Not Sheriff Joe.

It has become increasingly obvious that the federal government is way too worried about offending somebody to do anything substantive about the illegal immigration problem we have in the United States. Well, in our border state of Arizona, the famous Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County has taken matters into his own hand. A few weeks back, Sheriff Joe set up an "illegal immigration hotline" that allows citizens to call to report any suspicious illegal immigrant activity. The hotline has been blasted by groups on the left as well as many Hispanic groups who claim the hotline will lead to racial profiling and will "potentially intimidate and ostracize one particular group” and “incite neighbor against neighbor,” according to the New Sanctuary Movement, who met with the good Sheriff on August 2nd.

Other Hispanic groups have also asked Arpaio to remove the hotline, claiming they had already set one up and are attempting to remedy the problem from within.

Sheriff Joe's response to all of this? He simply stated that he is unafraid of so-called racial profiling and said, "When I make a decision, I stick with it. I don't back down. Maybe somebody will call and we'll solve some homicides."
