America's Toughest Sheriff Tells California to "MYOB" Over Arizona Immigration Law

Maricopa County (AZ) sheriff Joe Arpaio, who calls himself the "Toughest Sheriff in America" fired back at Californians who want to boycott Arizona over their newly signed tough new immigration law. He said, basically, that California should mind its own business.

Arpaio, a controversial figure to some, and a hero to others, based on some of his practices, said, "Maybe they oughta worry about their own state. Keep their nose out of Arizona. We know what we're dong here. I don't understand why California has such a big problem. Maybe we should boycott California because there's so many illegal aliens and crime there."

The new Arizona immigration law still hasn't gone into effect. It takes 90 days for that to happen, once its been signed into law by the governor. However, it's already raised hackles around the country.

While that's true, a new Gallup Poll indicates that 51 percent of Americans support the new AZ law. Additionally, at a Tea Party rally in Ramona, CA, last Saturday, GOP Rep. Duncan Hunter told the crowd that he supports the deportation of children of illegal immigrants, even if they were born in the United States.

"Between $10 [billion] and $20 billion in this state that we spend on immigration, that's health services, that's education and jails. We just can't afford it anymore."We're not being mean. We're just saying it takes more than just walking across the border to become an American citizen. It's what's in our souls."

Unfortunately for Hunter, anyone born in the U.S. is a citizen, even if their parents are illegal immigrants. It's unclear what he wants to do about that "issue."

The latest cities to call for boycotts of business with AZ, following the lead of San Francisco, are Oakland, L.A, New York, Washington D.C. and St. Paul. A petition is being circulated to pull the MLB All-Star game from Phoenix, AZ. Finally, Phoenix mayor Phil Gordon says his city has already lost business from five cancelled conventions.

Not all Californians oppose AZ. S.B. 1070.

Most Californians do NOT plan to boycott Arizona.
