Sheriff Joe Arpaio: ‘Electric Fence’ Joke Means Herman Cain Takes Immigration Seriously

video
» 124 comments

Maricopa Country Sheriff Joe Arpaio appeared on CNN’s American Morning, and spoke with Christine Roman about immigration and his planned meeting today with GOP frontrunner Herman Cain. Roman noted that Cain had told David Gregory that his suggestion that the US should electrify the border fence was a joke. “Oh, I’m sure he was joking,” Arpaio said. “But it probably means that he’s taking it serious to do something at the border and stop the illegal immigrations.”

Roman asked Arpaio why Republican primary candidates were blowing up his phone asking for endorsements.

“Well, it’s not because I’m tall, dark, and handsome, which I’m not,” Arpaio joked. “But I have been around twenty years, and many years as head of the Federal Drug Enforcement in Mexico, Texas, Arizona, so I think I know where the border is. That may be one reason, but I’ll meet with Mr. Cain. I met with Michele Bachmann in my office last month, and I’ll see how he stands on the illegal immigration problem.”

Roman asked Arpaio if he endorsed Cain’s view that we should enforce existing law and promote pathways to citizenship for illegal immigrants.

“Well, I’m against amnesty,” Arpaio said. “We do enforce the laws in the interior, we go into private businesses and lock up those employed illegally. Most for Social Security theft, so I believe in enforcing the laws in the interior and stop blaming the border and use that as a copout. So secure the border first, and then look at illegal immigration. It’s against the law, so we lock them up in Maricopa County for being here illegally.”

    How much fence has he built?

    Obama administration scraps border fence

  • The Real Royal Emperor

    Perhaps because President Obama knows that a fence is a silly waste of time and money. We’ve done a very good during the last three (3) years stemming the flow of illegal immigration through a rigorous system of deportations and better HSA work at our borders. It’s a fact. Deal with it, and stop your incessant whining.

    Caught a couple episodes of “Border Patrol” last night. It’s despicable what the illegals are doing to our National Parks in New Mexico and Arizona. Some areas within these National Parks are so unsafe because of the drug cartel they’ve been closed to the public. It’s an absolute shame.

    “(The new policy) clearly demonstrates the Obama administration’s
    defiance of both the constitutional separation of powers and the will of
    the American public in its relentless effort to gain amnesty for
    illegal aliens,” said Dan Stein, president of the Federation for
    American Immigration Reform, a group in Washington, D.C., that advocates
    less immigration and more immigration enforcement.

    It’s not just jobs that bring them here. Jobs may have been the initial magnet but, it’s our social welfare system that’s keeping them here! Upward of 71% of illegal alien parasites are on welfare, illegally!! California’s welfare system is broke, and with 71% of nearly 3-Million illegal alien parasites draining it, the need to enforce the law is paramount. For the second year in a row, Los Angeles county alone, illegal alien welfare and food stamps will cost the taxpayers of that one county $600-Million!! And that’s for welfare and food stamps alone in ONE-COUNTY, not counting crime, jails, schools, health care, and a host of other inherent problems these parasites bring with them!

    The costly revolving door policy isn’t working and it’s costing $-Millions every year to enforce it. Jobs, and just as importantly, all social welfare programs must be shut off to illegal alien parasites. We, as taxpayers are being forced to subsidize illegal employers! If building a double-fence is required to at least hinder the massive invasion of illegally alien parasites, and the terrorists, then so be it. Obimbo’s ridiculous border policy will eventually lead to more terrorist attacks. Our National Guard, in sufficient numbers, should be there now supporting the Boarder Patrol and local police who are being overrun by illegal alien parasites daily!

    I would go one step further. I believe the entire country should be
    placed under an enormous dome. The dome would have holes for planes and
    ships and cars to enter.

    But otherwise, this dome would make sure that no Mexicans could enter
    the US and take jobs and money away from real Americans. It’s a bit
    like Reagan’s Star Wars missile defense, but on a bigger scale. The
    dome could, I guess, be electrified so that Mexicans would think twice
    before trying to dig underneath the dome or drill through it. Because if entry into the US
    is restricted by an impenetrable dome, illegal immigration will be
    reduced to zero. No more Mexicans. No more illegals. End of problem.

    Even if we built a 100′ wall all along the border, that would just put a bandaid on a deeper problem. Solving that deeper problem requires brainpower and sanity, and both are hard to come by from the loudest popular voices against illegal immigration.

    TODAY!  NOW! Rep.
    Lamar Smith (R-TX) needs your help, to SAVE YOUR JOBS.

     

    Judiciary Chairman
    Lamar Smith needs your help immediately if we are going to get a House floor
    vote this year on H.R. 2885, the Legal Workforce Act.

     

    Whoever becomes the President of the
    United States needs to erect the real border fence. To facilitate the policy
    described in the 2006 Secure Fence Act, which is a double-layer fence for the
    two thousand miles, stretching through California, Arizona, New Mexico and
    Texas festooned with razor sharp concertina wire. As an major addition
    placing a permanent military force on the border, to bond with the U.S.
    Border Agents; a requirement to assist border sheriffs, who are fighting a
    never ending battle against drug smugglers and people traffickers. In
    furtherance, the police need tools for domestic enforcement, so they can be
    partnered with ICE. “Secure Communities” helps the local police to
    identify criminal illegal aliens through fingerprints, by forwarding this
    identification to ICE. The 287 G is another policing program, which offers
    federal training in apprehending illegal aliens on the highway, such as State
    Troopers or Highway Patrol, who have the authority to arrest a suspicious
    driver and hold him for ICE agents.

    By far the greatest innovation is the “THE LEGAL WORKFORCE ACT”
    sponsored by Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas. Every working American should demand
    from their Senators and the House Representatives, to vote for this bill.
    Commonly known as E-Verify (H.R. 2885) it will reduce the chances of millions
    of illegal migrants or immigrants from being hired. Unless you have a upper
    management job, everybody is vulnerable from a job loss. If you are
    lucky to have a job, you can aid the 20 million workers who are
    seeking employment. Under E-Verify bill business owners are not excused
    from severe punishment by hiring people of unauthorized status. If you want to convey
    to a halt the DREAM ACT’s, Sanctuary Cities & States or a new Amnesty—YOU MUST
    DEMAND YOUR LAWMAKERS BRING TO THE HOUSE FLOOR–E-Verify (H.R. 2885)

    Illegal immigration is no longer a minor occurrence, it’s everybody’s problem.
    This issue is a hundred billion dollar cost every year, extorted from your
    taxes annually to subsidize foreign nationals who have violated our
    laws. These are the pregnant women with unborn babies, who navigate past
    our border fence, or use the airways to enter illegally.  While Americans
    are paying for other countries downtrodden, we cannot resuscitate our eroding
    infrastructure, our children’s crowded schools, underfunded hospitals and
    overpopulated prisons through the affliction of 20 million or more illegal
    aliens. The expenditure annually is an estimated $113 Billion dollars a year,
    as according to statistics from the Hermitage Foundation.  

     

    E-Verify is a progressive computer
    program and is being continuously upgraded with more innovations to detect
    forged ID. In conjunction with form I-9 is progression will soon be a 100
    percent successful in verifying who’s eligible for a job. One new piece of
    software soon to be fully organized is state access to Drivers License records.
    Mississippi was the first state to offer there Dept of Motor vehicle services.

     

    ILLEGAL—IMMIGRATION—MUST—BE—MADE—A—FELONY.

     

    Whoever becomes the
    Next President of the United States, will have to face the Illegal Immigration plague.
    Contenders Bachmann, Cain, Romney, Perry are debating illegal immigration, that
    has shot to the forefront of issues, because it involves jobs, economy and
    National Security.

    NumbersUSA, the pro sovereignty,
    limited immigration group has aided a host of a dozen county sheriffs this week
    in Washington to make their pleas to Congress and ICE, in favor of all sheriffs
    to get more federal support in battling illegal immigration in their counties.
    Local and border Sheriffs are telling their stories of being over-run with
    trans-national drug trafficking, smuggling operations, Mexican cartels and
    other immigration-related crime were gripping — and also enraging that our own
    federal government who are so concerned about helping illegal aliens, while
    displaying so little enthusiasm in helping the sheriffs. Pressure your U.S.
    Representative to act to get a committee and floor vote on the CLEAR Act (H.R. 100). This act provides a lot of assistance to local, county and
    state law enforcement when they want to drive the illegal alien population out
    of their jurisdictions. Go to your customized website where you will locate a
    free fax to send to your U.S. Representative. Most of you will find a free fax
    that urges co-sponsorship of the bill.

    The beauty of the CLEAR Act is that it essentially requires the feds to
    cooperate whenever community law enforcement brings illegal aliens to their
    attention. While it wouldn’t stop localities from being sanctuaries or offering
    other enticements for illegal aliens, it would stop the current
    Administration’s practice of trying to stop localities from pushing illegal
    aliens out of their communities and would require the feds to give assistance.
    I cannot think of any single action that would be a more effective protest
    against the Obama Administration’s anti-local-enforcement efforts or a more
    effective single action to help our nation’s besieged sheriffs who have tended
    to be our best allies among the nation’s law enforcement officials.  If
    you want to fax, go to NumbersUSA or please call 202-224-3121 and ask for your
    U.S. Representative’s office to urge action this fall on the CLEAR Act. This is

    Does that include arming the drug cartels with military firepower?

    Does it include challenging every state measure to curb ILLEGAL immigration, while ignoring “sanctuary cities”, which directly conflict with the federal mandates?

    Does it include conflating legal and illegal monickers when addressing the immigration issue?

    We’re supposed to be a sovreign country, adhering to all laws, not to pick-and-choose which laws we’ll uphold, and which ones not!

    This guy in the White House, – and his supporters in media, academia, the unions, and the growing “family” of welfare-leeches (special shoutout to Melissa Perry on that one!) – has no respect for the democratic institutions of this country; he uses them to consolidate his own power and control.

    He’s a community-organizing Marxist, with the motto, “Win One Election!”
    I think he’s willing to create enmity, havoc and violence to remain in office. All that remains to be seen is how a well-armed populace responds.

    Legal, and illegal alien migration has become a number so large that this country cannot absorb them. What we are seeing is the citizens of a foreign country who are here illegally, trying to change an established American culture. They want to replace it with a culture that failed in their own country but, they expect to continue it in this country?! These parasites have no intension on adapting our culture. When the hell did it become necessary for the legal citizens of this country to forfeit their culture to entertain the culture of a foreign country, who have never been invited, or welcomed in this country, and are nothing more than illegal trespassers?

    They are changing but we do have the ability to effect how it changes. Legal immigration promotes entry to other freedom loving American loving people we can be happy to welcome who can add to our greatness. Many great people from all over including Mexicans are welcome. The scum that comes illegally to steel are not welcome. My daughter just got back from a visit to Mexico only to report her shock that the Mexican people are a great people not at all like her experience of illegal Mexicans here in the US. I have told her that for years but experiencing it herself has made a believer out of her. Some years ago an American citizen of Mexican birth and a friend of mine retired back to Mexico. He stated that he could not stomach the criminals coming from Mexico today. He says they ruined it for honest Mexican Americans. What can’t some get about criminals who would come illegally. They are criminals here as they were in Mexico.

    The term is illegal aliens.  I know, it doesn’t sound nearly as cute – but it is what it is.

    No border protection in human history has ever been as spectacularly successful as the “IRON CURTAIN” to keep slaves of Communism from finding freedom. If the Soviet method worked keeping people IN, it would work just as well keeping people OUT.

    When the water pipe in your basement bursts, you can bail and pump all you like, it won’t help. Shut the water off, first.

    All the illegal immigrant problems will remain problems until and unless the border is secured.

    By Soviet Communist methodology, if necessary.

    And the Cancer-in-the-White-House has done more to give illegals rights that they do not deserve.

    Coming in 2013: The Congress, run by the GOP, will pass an immigration bill that forces illegals to GO HOME. And President Romney will sign it into law.

    Stick that in your craw.

    Obummer has done a terrific job in the last three years with making unemployment go to a full 100%.

    If we give him four more years he will find a way to increase that, too.

    And it’s pretty obvious that you don’t understand what is happening on the border!!!!!  Obama has done nothing.  He refuses to call anyone illegal.  He needs their  vote and for no other reason.  He has not called in any additional border control.  it’s the same as it’s been since before the fence was put up. That didn’t work either.  If any control is done it’s by the governors of those states. Obama expects the states to pay for the border control.  If he’d take interest in the border the drugs wouldn’t be so bad either.

  • Hagen619dj

    That fence is a joke.  Roadways were not fenced off, tunnels have been dug, border control can’t control the numbers not to mention now that the drug cartels pretty much control the borders. When people are hungry to feed their families and no where the jobs “were” to feed their families….that  fence did nothing. It wasn’t finished or closed in appropriate locations.

  • Hagen619dj

    I hate to say that your wrong….but you are wrong.  Obama scrapped the fence but has done nothing about illegals.  The deportation system was started by Bush and Obama just put his name to it now.

  • Hagen619dj

    Oh, remember Fast and Furious??????  That’s a real smart idea.

  • Hagen619dj

    If our government was “up to date” they would quit pacifying the middle east regions and bring our soldiers home to guard our own country. But no, we have to worry about all the oil and keeping face and doing good to the people that hate us.  We bomb and then rebuild for them.  But the illegals we let go, the employers that hire get fined and do it again, and now we have a real problem with drug cartels simply because this country demands drugs.  Sad isn’t it?

  • Hagen619dj

    I have to wonder what our congress is doing day after day.  It seems to take soooo long to accomplish things for this country.  One party fights the other and therefore nothing gets done. The welfare system is a joke. They need urine tests just like a person applying for a job. Check them for drugs before welfare and housing can be given. Our healthcare is in shambles. So many things are wrong today and people are becoming scared and homeless.

  • Hagen619dj

    That is true.  He wants the Hispanic vote. They may be illegal but they will do their best to sneak in a vote if they can….and they don’t care if it’s illegal or not. Hispanic is the minority race in this country.

  • Hagen619dj

    And we have a president who sues Arizona because they want to do something about it.

  • Hagen619dj

    Why is name calling so important to people in the first place? It solves nothing. It belittles others, it sounds unintelligent, it’s like swearing….it serves no purpose except to boost a man’s ego.

    You calling them parasites reminds me of a certain Adolf.

    It’s way easier to keep people in than out.
    Keeping them in, you can arrange your gun towers and kill zones to keep people away from the wall.
    It’s the same reason we don’t guard prisons from the outside.

    Buy a clue!
