"America's Toughest Sheriff" Rounding up Illegals

Many of you might have seen Sheriff Joe Arpaio on several of Fox News Shows lately speaking about what he is doing with his posse and illegals. He is the sheriff of Maricopa County in Arizona. The official website is located here- Maricopa County Sheriff Office . He is one awesome tough man with a boat load of common sense, no wonder he keeps getting re-elected. You need to check out his Bio Page about THE SHERIFF .

You probably know him as "America's Toughest Sheriff", a name given to him by the media years ago. It's a name he certainly has earned as the head of the nation's fourth largest Sheriff's Office. But even before he became Sheriff in 1993, Joe Arpaio was one tough law man.

"As Sheriff, I serve the public. The public is my boss", are statements often made by Sheriff Arpaio.

On August 3, 1993, he started the nation's largest Tent City for convicted inmates. Over 2000 convicted men and women serve their sentences in a canvas incarceration compound. It is a remarkable success story and has garnered the attention of government officials and media worldwide.

Equally impressive are the Sheriff's get tough policies. Arpaio doesn't believe in coddling criminals, frequently saying that jails should not be country clubs. He banned smoking, coffee, pornographic magazines, movies and unrestricted television in all jails. He has the cheapest meals in the country too. The average inmate meal costs under 20 cents.

Posse member Andrew Ramsammy said "As a group of law abiding people, we are fed up with the number of people who come into this county illegally. We're tired of the drugs that some of them bring to sell to our young people and we're ready and willing to assist the Sheriff's deputies in the fight against illegal immigration."

Arpaio houses 10,000 prisoners in his jails, including almost 2000 in a tent city he erected in 1993. Tent City is being expanded to hold an anticipated increase in of inmates being incarcerated in the Maricopa County jails.

THIS IS REALLY GOOD....YOU'll LOVE THIS.....
He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails. Took away their weights. Cut off all but "G" movies. He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city projects.
Then he started chain gangs for women so he wouldn't get sued for discrimination.
He took away cable TV until he found out there was a federal court order that required cable TV for jails. So he hooked up the cable TV again only let in the Disney channel and the weather channel.
When asked why the weather channel he replied, so they will know how hot it's gonna be while they are working on my chain gangs.
He cut off coffee since it has zero nutritional value.
When the inmates complained, he told them, "This isn't the Ritz/Carlton. If you don't like it, don't come back."
He bought Newt Gingrich' lecture series on videotape that he pipes into the jails.
When asked by a reporter if he had any lecture series by a Democrat, he replied that a democratic lecture series might explain why a lot of the inmates were in his jails in the first place.

Needless to say, the libs and the MSM does not seem to like Sheriff Arpaio too well. It took going through several sites to compose this post. (smiling)
Do you think he would be interested in running for a higher office.....like CONGRESS??? I bet he would know how to rehabilitate a few of them and pass some tougher laws for criminals.
