and sex abuse that has been reported in your district?
Before you waste time on a dead subject like the Presidential birth certificate why don't you get to work on that backlog of cases for domestic violence and sex abuse that you have neglected over the years in your area. Seems if you are an illegal immigrant in Joe Arpaio's district and don't want to be deported? Then beat the shit out of your spouse or rape a woman. You think I'm being funny but I'm not.

Critics: 'Tough' sheriff botched sex-crime cases
EL MIRAGE, Ariz. -- The 13-year-old girl opened the door of her home in this small city on the edge of Phoenix to encounter a man who said that his car had broken down and he needed to use the phone. Once inside, the man pummeled the teen from behind, knocking her unconscious and sexually assaulting her.
Seven months before, in an apartment two miles away, another 13-year-old girl was fondled in the middle of the night by her mother's live-in boyfriend. She woke up in her room at least twice a week to find him standing over her, claiming to be looking for her mother's cell phone.
Both cases were among more than 400 sex-crimes reported to Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office during a three-year period ending in 2007 including dozens of alleged child molestations that were inadequately investigated and in some instances were not worked at all, according to current and former police officers familiar with the cases.
In El Mirage alone, where Arpaio's office was providing contract police services, officials discovered at least 32 reported child molestations with victims as young as 2 years old where the sheriff's office failed to follow through, even though suspects were known in all but six cases.
<<<<snip>>>>
Many of the victims, said a retired El Mirage police official who reviewed the files, were children of illegal immigrants
If he hosts a press conference over this I hope someone asks him if he's actually done his job and dealt with these 400+ crimes that he has ignored.
From his local paper 2 days ago:

Why does Sheriff Arpaio care more about sexual abuse against dogs instead of human children?
It turns out that Arizonas Sheriff Joe Arpaio has been so busy harassing undocumented workers that hes neglected to go after sexual predators, the type that assault little girls as young as three years-old and he calls himself Americas Toughest Sheriff.
The information came to light in an Associated Press report, that highlights the cases of two 13 year-old girls who were assaulted in their own homes.

This is the worst thing about him - his occupation of the post stops a real cop from doing the job

properly. He's a grandstanding bigot who indulges his racism and politics in a public service role. Thanks for the links.
