A pro-illegal alien activist group announced what they promised to be a “massive” protest to “demand” that Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s famous Tent City be “shut down”, but then chickened out when Arpaio invited them to his office to discuss it.
“Puente“, a left-wing, Soros-funded group which advocates for illegal alien amnesty and against Arizona immigration law S.B. 1070, declared their intention to “take on” the “racist Sheriff Joe” and show they are “unafraid”. But that all changed after this Sheriff Joe Facebook post:
Evidently Puente does not like my 19 year old successful tent city incarceration program with thousands protesting on June 23rd at the tents. Numerous presidential candidates have visited the tents and support the concept. I suggest leaders of Puente meet with me in my office to discuss concerns and save resources from demonstrating in the heat. I started tent city on Aug 2nd, 1993 and will be celebrating the 20th anniversary in August and plan on having some type of celebration.
Puente’s response? Uh, we can’t make it: “There’s nothing for us to discuss…we just want this guy out of office,” said Puente “organizer” Carlos Garcia.
So much for “undocumented and unafraid”. This reminds us of the student protest against Sheriff Joe a few months back, where they planned to get arrested – NOT by Arpaio’s deputies – but by the Phoenix P.D. – who they knew would just release them, unlike Arpaio.
In the video news report below, reporters absurdly give inmates a chance to whine about how they don’t like the heat of Tent City (boo hoo!), and Sheriff Joe responds, “Thank you (to the ) men and women fighting for our country who are living in the same type of tents”, and also recounts how the tent conditions act as a big deterrent for criminals to keep them from ever wanting to stay there again.
Indeed, Joe probably said it best a few years back, When an AP reporter visited Tent City on a particularly hot day, and interviewed an inmate complaining that “It feels like you’re in a furnace, it’s inhumane!” Arpaio overhead this and shot back:
“It’s 120 degrees in Iraq and our soldiers are living in tents too, and they have to wear full battle gear, but they did not commit any crimes, so shut your damned mouth!”
Amen to that! Sheriff Joe will NEVER shut down tent city, and we stand with Joe and his enforcement of immigration laws, and defiance in the face of attacks from Eric Holder and this corrupt administration.
Do YOU also Stand With Joe?

Sheriff Joe will not cave. He is doing a great job for us in AZ. Keep protecting us from illegals coming into our state taking jobs from Americans that need them. He is saving the state a lot of money. If you can’t do the time DON’T DO THE CRIME. Way to go Sheriff Joe. You are a great Politician and a GREAT SHERIFF.
We need a tent city in Los Angeles, badly. We also need a new mayor, badly. California needs a new Governor, badly. California needs to get the Democrats in the state legislature down below a majority, BADLY… Arizona is like heaven compared to California, of course that’s if you’re not an illegal alien…
GoJoe! Your what America needs. Criminals need to be punished not catered too.
Tell me please, what kind of people have we become? Is there no shame of heart in those that will not honor the rule of law no more. I think of the thousands of our finest young men and women who have died on the battlefields throughout our history. They fought not only to preserve our freedoms but for many other nations as well.. If we fail to honor the rule of law then please tell me, where are the freedoms that our forefathers fought and died for? And what did our fathers fight and die for in WW1 and WW2?
WE now have allowed the most powerful nation in the world to become nothing more than a joke. Men and women in leadership position that know no shame, yet they demand respect and honor all the while lying to us, to each other, to the courts and to themselves. Passing laws with no respect to morality, satisfying their own greed for money and their own re-election…. and for this they would seek to tax the wealth of those that will work to better themselves to give to those that are to lazy to work…
I find it amazing that we call the Conservatives, “The Right,” and we call the Liberals, “The Left.” Please tell me why is this? No doubt because God’s WORD tell us, “The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.” Ecc. 10:2
If I knew anyone or had family in Israel I would leave this country in a heart beat. I am ashamed of a nation that slaughters over 4,000 of the most innocent life of all and yet they are so foolish that they claim to be the only hope for peace in the world. God will cleanse this land for the evil we have allowed and committed.
God’s Judgment on Jerusalem’s Sins was spoken through the Prophet Ezekiel while in exile in the land of Babylon and I am most certain America’s judgment will be similar (Eze.22). God is the same today as He was then, as He will be forever and ever.
Keep it up Smoking Joe. Poloitcians should learn a lesson from your love of country. It makes me feel like I did not waste 21 years in the US Army serving my country. God bless you and God bless America
You just gotta love Sheriff Joe. Good work, Sheriff, very good work.
I wish we had Sheriff Joe here in Los Angeles County. Phoenix PD hasn’t changed much since I was a Phoenix Officer. There isn’t a set of balls in the Chief’s office any more than there was when I was there. Politics……..
You Go Joe!
