Great News from Arizona!!!
Sheriff Joe and Maricopa County Attorney Thomas are getting the job done.
Thank you, Arizona. Thank you, Sheriff Joe and Mr. Thomas. You're helping the whole nation. Link
Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas and Sheriff Joe Arpaio are the only law enforcement officials in the country arresting and prosecuting illegal immigrants under an anti-human smuggling (coyote) statute.
I don't remember if this law was passed by the voters or how it came into being but it goes like this: If you conspired with a coyote to enter this country illegally then you're going to be charged along with the coyote for a felony. GREAT IDEA!!! Put them in a tent jail for a while then DEPORT them.

I don't want illegal immigrants in the country either.
But Arpaio is a coward and a murderer.

Arpaio a murderer? Please provide the reference for you assertion. Do you live in AZ? I do. Joe's the man, although I do disagree with his stance on prop 204

The Scott Norberg case
One major controversy includes the 1996 death of inmate Scott Norberg while he was in custody. Norberg was arrested for chasing two young girls in Mesa, Arizona. Reportedly high on methamphetamines, Norberg was accused of attacking the jail detention officers who were trying to restrain him. In the subsequent struggle and restraint, he died. According to an investigation by Amnesty International, Norberg was already handcuffed and face down when officers dragged him from his cell and placed him in a restraint chair with a towel covering his face. His death, according to the Maricopa County medical examiner, was due to "positional asphyxia". County detention officers were acquitted of wrongdoing.
Norberg’s parents filed a lawsuit against Joe Arpaio and his office. The lawsuit was settled for $8.25 million (USD). Arpaio has consistently defended his officers' actions and the jail procedures and neither the Justice Department nor the FBI, which investigated the allegations, filed charges.

Thanks for the input. I'm not familiar with the Norberg case.
