Joe Arpaio: Don't send troops just to the border, send them into Mexico as well

Arlington, Texas -- Former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio came to Arlington to talk about more than simply sending troops to the border.

Instead, Arpaio, 86, said the U.S. Army should be sent to Mexico’s southern border to stem the flow of Central American immigrants into that country during a talk Monday evening at Jambo’s BBQ Shack in Arlington.

Two previous Arlington locations canceled his appearance before mayoral candidate Ashton Stauffer brought the event to Jambo’s.

“Why don’t we send the U.S. Army — not at the border — but into Mexico?” Arpaio said.

The former sheriff said it wouldn’t be as an invading force but part of a bilateral effort with Mexico.

And when when your bitter old racist ass ends up in a Mexican jail that makes your operation look like Club Med, don't come crying to us for help.

We were able to drag lap-dog Tony Blair into Iraq with us. But invading Mexico unprovoked will get us worldwide sanctions, at the very least.
