Joe Arpaio Claims Obama Letting In Teenage 'Gangbangers' To Pave Way For Executive Orders, 'Pacify The Hispanic Community'
Submitted by Miranda Blue on Friday, 6/20/2014 11:21 am
Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona has been doing media rounds this week to respond the humanitarian crisis at the southern border, where an influx of families and unaccompanied minors from Central America has overwhelmed immigration authorities. In an interview with the Washington Times yesterday, Arpaio claimed that the Obama administration was intentionally sending some of the minors to his home county as a personal affront to his notorious anti-immigrant activism. The White House is incompetent and the dumping of illegals is intentional, he said. Arpaio went on to speculate that the president is deliberately provoking an immigration controversy so that Congress will ignore it and he can issue an executive order. He also guessed that Obamas immigration policies are meant to pacify the Hispanic community.

(100,068 posts)Every time I go to visit I swear the people of Maricopa County are under Stockholm Syndrome when it comes to Sheriff Joe. They hate the man but his campaign signs and TV commercials are all over the place. They didn't make him the villain of that Danny Trejo movie Machete for nothing.
