There are plenty legal citizens of Mexican ancestry in Arizona.
Sheriff Joe is not targeting illegals. He is targeting anyone that looks Mexican.
Calling it a "simple border defense" issue is incorrect.

A lot of them don't even speak english.
When someone looks Mexican and he doesn't speak english, that's a good bet he's an illegal.

Then I have to ask, What in the hell is going on over there? You've got more skinheads down there then any other state in the country.

I dunno, just what I heard from one of the local FBI guys I know. Montana is coming in second, getting a bit scary over there they have an actual "Aryan Colony" thing going.

I think the main problem isn't that he is going after illegals, but the fact that his "sweeps" are so broad, that he arrests American citizens along with those illegals. Arresting an American citizen under suspicion of being illegal is wrong.
That's the problem people are having here. And I think the most appropriate punishment would be to send him to his own tent jail.
The "fed" has been after him for years. He just doesn't fit the mold of the "modern" American law officer. Especially he doesn't meet the current politically correct movement of "legalizing" the presence of persons from foreign countries who are not here with legal status.

The solution is actually self evident. What they should do is go after the business owners and landlords that hire/rent to illegals. In this way, you cut off the incentive and resources that illegals have for being here.
