AZ Sheriff Stripped of Immigration Powers

It probably did have to do with politics. He actually enforces immigration law, so Democrats really don't like him. The media hates him. Liberals I've talked to are convinced that everyone must agree--and yet he keeps getting reelected.

I don't think it's ever going to get through to them that most Americans and legal immigrants do not approve of illegal immigration, and want those laws enforced.

In other news, Rev. Sharpton apparently knows how to pronounce Arpaio's name now. I got a laugh out of seeing him on the news... months ago... making accusations of racism while mispronouncing his name.

...All right, so maybe 'Arpaio' doesn't really have the most... intuitive pronunciation around, but still. If you're going to be on national television, you should really check that sort of thing.

biggrin Next question: how do you pronounce 'mogollon rim.' Hint: it's not mug-goy-on.




Hm?

Ah. I have this friend who keeps trying to convince me that Arpaio is the Antichrist, so I was trying to remember if I had heard any stories about him... or rather, people who work for him, dragging someone back over the border so they could arrest him. I don't think I have, so I was a little confused.
