Arizona Crackdown
Arpaio leading the way
 |
Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN - November 12
Dobbs:
One of the issues here in Arizona is the fact that the border
patrol has a policy, not the agents but the management, if you
will, of border patrol, 15 crossings before somebody gets serious
about it in the border patrol.
Arpaio: The first crossing they should go to jail. That's
how you stop the problem. They cross the border, put them in
jail. They can't work behind bars, can they? So you put them
in jail. You'll see economically, it's not feasible to come across.
Dobbs: How feasible is it to put up a wall, a fence, and
stop it?
Arpaio: Well, after 14 years (inaudible) on our border,
they still come across over the fence, under the fence, and they
work. But we have to put them in jail. It is a violation of the
law. And they keep talking, no money, they can put billion-dollar
fences up but they can't put a few tents up? I've got 2,000 in
the tents right here in the desert in Maricopa County. Why can't
they put tents up?
Dobbs: Arizona is leading the way in this country. Oklahoma,
others. And it's because the people of Arizona have said, "we're
going to enforce the law. We're going to support law and order."
Do you sense the country changing?
Arpaio: Yes. Because when I'm on your show, I'm going
to get e-mails, 100 percent will be positive. They come in. People
want something done about it.
