Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio for President

Sheriff Joe is a model of what efficiency and effectiveness in law enforcement is. He has an 80% or so approval rating. His 20% disapproval probably comes from illegal immigrants themselves. Considering 1/4 to 1/3 of prison inmates are composed of illegal immigrants, he is actually doing something significant to stop crime before it occurs by deporting these criminals. We need more men like him in charge.

The federal mandate is to stop illegal immigration, right? That is what "Sheriff Joe" is doing: All within legal ways. He seems to be better organized to do the job than the vast majority of sheriffs around the country, is that wrong?

He sees that his action gets publicity in order to warn the criminals that Maricopa County is not a safe place for them. Where did you get the fact that "Sheriff Joe" has ignored all those "thousand of criminal warrant"?

Although we are the fifth largest city in the country, we enjoy being one of the safest to live. We like that, that's the reason we keep electing him. Most convicted criminals today have a higher standard of living in prison than they had on the outside. Most prisons are like the Waldorf to people like you and I compared to where they lived. For a change they have clean, safe, air conditioned places to live with three well prepared meals a day, they're medical needs are provided, they can shower everyday and get clean clothes everyday. they can play games, use exercise equipment. For most, prison is almost like a resort by what their accustomed to. They just can't some and go even if they wanted to.

Sheriff Joe's prison is a bunch of un-air conditioned tents where prisoners sleep on double- deck cots, they're fed plain sandwiches, They're issued pink underwear to keep the prisoners from giving them to visitors to take home for them. All this is done to discourage their desire to come back once they are released. Now that's punishment for crime.

I've heard some people from both here and Texas state they would like to see "Sheriff Joe" run for president. Seeing first hand the improvement in crime prevention and his operation and results: And after watching and listening to the present bunch running for that office I'm tempted to join them.I guess you'd have to live here to understand the situation. Before Sheriff Joe we had a "byc" repairman for a sheriff (true statement).

When I moved here in 1974 majority of the population was white, now the majority is Mexican.

For those of you who don't know, Scottsdale is a suburb of Phoenix in Maricopa County, Arizona. Thanks for letting me put things a little straighter. — Tom Downs, Scottsdale, AZ
