5. I didn't hear any "agreement"

Funny that Thom would put it that way.

I heard Joe ranting about how undocumented workers are felons because they did identity theft to get a SSN, and he's got a law to go after THEM, so that's what he's going to do.

He made some snotty statement to Thom when TH suggested that the laws need to penalize the CEOs, not the workers, to the effect of "You go ask YOUR President for a law like that".

Thom's next interview with the show was with a woman (forget who) who pointed out that Joe just got dinged with a multi-million dollar fine for not paying HIS staff freakin' overtime. Thom made the comment that Joe's screwing his own workers in addition to the undocumented workers.

There is a special tier in the bowels of hell set aside for Joe.

6. Sheriff Joe dancing with rich white guys

Well sheriff why don't you ask your fellow travelers,Brewer and Pearce to strengthen those weak laws that keep you from going after those rich white guys that break the law?Could it be that you are in bed with the rich white guys,maybe not in bed but just dancing with them?

7. He said he doesn't have a law

to go after them. He lied. Arizonans passed that law 2 years ago.

8. That law is weak and does not call for jail time...

I had an opportunity to ask Joe why we don't toss business owners into tent city for violating immigration law when he spoke at Mesa Community College a while back. Well sort of. The questions were screened by some young republican douchebag and the question was not even read as I fucking wrote it - but anyway Joe just hemmed and hawed and said something about the civil law which pretty much amounts to a slap on the wrist. The fact is Joe does not support putting employers in his jails - they have lawyers.

9. That IS the problem, the owners hiring illegals......

but how they stay out of trouble is the " brown people " gave us fake ID"s, so we thought
they were O.K.
That is where Big O need to start. IMO.

10. Isn't he a rich white guy?

Just saying.
