Oct 8, 2007

Arpaio says there's no excuse and it's a "cop-out"
Sheriff Joe Arpaio says if he can enforce the state's immigration law, other law enforcement agencies should be able to as well. Arpaio says his office enforces all the laws, and his office is doing it with a smaller staff compared to some police agencies. The Sheriff says he doesn't go around complaining he doesn't have enough resources. He says his office manages resources properly.

Also, Arpaio says the excuse of not going after misdemeanors doesn't work. He says 62% of the people in his jails are misdemeanors.
