    Arpaio plans to employ chain gang outside All-Star game

    Arpaio plans to employ chain gang outside All-Star game

    With a national TV audience of millions expected for baseball's All-Star Game, Sheriff Joe Arpaio could not pass up the chance to promote two of his favorite topics: himself and his disdain for undocumented immigrants.

    A chain gang should do the trick, Arpaio decided.

    A group of inmates from the sheriff's holding area for undocumented immigrants, all of whom were convicted of DUI, will join American male and female chains of DUI offenders to send a message about the perils of drunken driving when they pick up trash outside Chase Field next week, Arpaio said.

    If someone draws another message about the legal pitfalls of undocumented immigration, all the better.

    "I would be discriminating against the people here illegally in this country who have been convicted of the same crimes U.S. citizens have been convicted of. Should I say, 'Oh no, you can't be in a chain gang because you're from a different country'? " Arpaio said Wednesday. "Everything I do, there's a method, whether on punishment or deterrent."

    Arpaio has sent this message before, placing DUI chain gangs along Glendale Avenue during Super Bowl XLII and unveiling a neon "vacancy" sign above the Tent City jail before Super Bowl XXX.

    The inmates picking up trash outside Chase Field during All-Star festivities will all have volunteered for the privilege, according to the Sheriff's Office, and will all have been convicted of their crimes.

    Those facts about the undocumented immigrants on the chain gang will do little to blunt the outrage from protesters who will cast Arpaio as an exploitative racist who hates immigrants almost as much as he loves to infuriate his opponents.

    Arpaio wouldn't have it any other way.

    "You think I put the chain gang in the desert where no one could see them? I've never done that," Arpaio said.

    LMAO! Sheriff Joe, the Equal Opportunity Jailer! But I'm glad to see this, if that punishment is OK for Americans it's OK for illegals. Man oh man, I can hear the screaming all the way from here...
