“They will still be arrested,” Arpaio said.
PHOENIX – Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio sat down at ABC15 to talk about the new changes by the Obama administration to stop deporting younger illegal immigrants.
The announcement came in around 6:30 a.m. Friday that some illegal immigrants will be granted work permits if they meet certain requirements.
“I think people from Mexico are now going to feel, ‘Hey come on in and we’ll get by with it.’ But it won’t happen in this county. They will still be arrested,” Arpaio said.
According to The Associated Press, this change will affect as many as 800,000 immigrants who have lived in fear of deportation.
“This seems to be politically motivated,” Arpaio said. “I would rather see the president let Congress decide what to do on this issue and other illegal immigration problems.”

Joe, Joe, Joe. You poor delusional bastard. That is no way to treat the good and honest people coming to find a better life in Amexica.
At this point, wouldn’t it just be easier to annex Mexico and declare everyone a citizen?

The ACLU is planning to sue Pinal County (next to Maricopa), citing inhumane conditions for illegal immigrants. ACLU says the “clients” are not allowed exercise time nor allowed to see loved ones.
Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu learned a few things from Sheriff Joe. BUT he couldn’t keep his gay boyfriend problems out of the media and had to withdraw from his run for U.S. Congress. https://www.azcentral.com/news/politics/articles/2012/02/19/20120219pinal-sheriff-paul-babeu-mixed-reactions.html )
