He was just doing his job-----plus stopping any and all Hispanic people any where they were seen. Sometimes they were held for hours even after they proved they were legal. How can anyone honestly say he was just doing his job? A federal judge told him to stop doing his job the way he was doing it and he very plainly considered himself above the law and the court settlements against him by people he harassed and falsely arrested cost the taxpayers of Maricopa county millions of dollars!!

Didn't help the City of Chicago's finances any that they paid out $210M in settlements for police misconduct over 4 years, including $100M tracing back to the leadership of just one.

Nor, I would think, did it help the current state of things there.

But like Shurf Joe and his remarkable political run, probably popular in some quarters.

I put the blame squarely on Teddy Kennedy,  he promised President Reagan that if he would grant amnesty to 3 million that the senate would fix the border....well???? 35 years later and we got at least 11 million illegals, obviously the fat toad Kennedy lied his rear end off!   Well, now we have a hell of a problem and are FORCED to get a little extreme just for self preservation.

Good to see that you agree that law enforcement officials, mayors, governers, cities, states, etc. should be adhering to and enforcing all federal laws.  Sheriff Joe, Sanctuary cities, Lois Lerner, etc. etc. etc.  I agree with you, why do Lois Lerner, San Francisco, etc. etc. think they are above the law.  How can anyone honestly say that Lois Lerner was just doing her job?

I am sure that, as fickle as you are, in a week Mr. Trump will do something that offends you much more.

Eddy eddy, good try but if a federal judge tells you to stop doing something that you know is wrong and you keep doing it, you are in violation of federal law. You had best stop doing it. Fortunately, he is no longer the honcho in Arizona so now he will just quietly go to his grave after costing the taxpayers 10s of millions of dollars because of his illegal actions. Everyone of you tight righties here are as worthless as the teats on a boar'n

So disappointing, I thought you were against all people that break federal laws, now I find out your parroting CNN and are just against folks whom break federal laws that Trump pardons.

Now that I think about, neither you or CNN questioned any of almost 2,000 people that President Obama pardoned and commuted sentences for, including traitors and drug dealers.  

Why didn't you just say that to begin with instead of pretending that you were against everyone whom breaks federal law.

Sheriff Joe was denied, by the activist judge, a trial by a jury of his peers.  On those grounds alone, it was justified that he be pardoned. 

By following the FEDERAL laws regarding illegal entry of scofflaws by ENFORCING those laws, kept many, many illegal invaders from sponging off the tax payers, thusly, SAVING said taxpayers tons of money that would have otherwise been wasted.
