 Joe's Law July 25, 2008

WONDERFUL to listen to, uplifting July 23, 2008

Joe Arpaio is better than I had heard. He runs a high school with tough standards. Has prisoners take care of animals to learn to respect living things. Has women prisoners do work. Took away nearly all TV entertainment.
He tells how he has singlehandedly found and then arrested big international drug dealers.
He has a large posse of volunteers who pay for all their own equipment including vans, trucks, and even a helicopter! How they used the Phoenix volunteer's helicopter to help in New Orleans when Lousiana sheriffs were afraid.
How he uses the posse to find vehicles carrying illegal immigrants. How he uses the posse to notify parents of drug use in certain high schools.
An inspiring book to listen to. Best I ever listened to.
 Terrible approach to one of America's most important isues July 21, 2008

Joe Arpaio's approach to immigration enforcement is to "get tough" and to shame anyone who thinks differently. I'm not satisfied with getting tough on immigration, it's time to "get smart" on immigration. Arpaio's gestapo tactics rely on fear and violence, and have the net effect of pushing people elsewhere -- forcing more migration. Arpaio lacks any true understanding of the "push" and "pull" factors that are the engine of Latin American immigration patterns into the US -- the forces that push them from their home communities (lack of employment and education opportunities, indicative of problems within their countries of origin) as well as the forces that pull them to the US (an economy dependent on cheap labor). Rather than engage this phenomenon intelligently, he'd rather put a posse together and scare people senseless by employing tactics that are violent, brutal, and uncompromising. Arpaio's the wrong man at the wrong time in U.S. history, and this book demonstrates just how out of touch he is...
Total waste of Money July 18, 2008

This book is pretty much a total rewrite of his previous book. He would be sued but you cant sue yourself for copying your own book to make more money. This was really discouraging when you are expecting to get a new book and get ripped off. If this is any indication of how he does his job I will have to reconsider whether a lot of these articles in the papers are telling the truth or not. If someone is willing to rip off his fans then what is he capable of with his enemy's.
Real disappointing Joe. I will not buy another one of your books and now I realize why there are so many of your used books on this site. By the way I just found out that he named himself America's toughest sheriff! Can you believe that? What a joke.
Curious Reviews. July 13, 2008

First, I have not yet read this book, so in fairness I give three stars til I do. The point is, most of the favorable reviews indicate the reviewers at least read the book. 99% of the unfavorable reviewers make no such comment. They resort to venting their own bile. The most humorous is that written by one "Dennis" of the "Phoenix New Times," who begins his harangue by describing Joe's fans as "lily white geezers." 40 years ago, many of these geezers were what Dennis now emulates. Some of the geezers were no doubt hippies, peace-niks, revolutionaries, or just liberals without a cause. Now they are older, have a few assets, and want their community cleaned up, their infrastructure intact, and their taxes kept in check. Dennis will be there in a few more years, and he'll be looking for the next Sheriff Joe. C'mon, even Billy Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn are now lily-white geezers, and you can bet they don't want anyone in their pristine neighborhood shooting it out, dealing dope, and wreaking havoc. Like it or not, you have to have people like Sheriff Joe on your city walls, day and night. For many like Dennis, it is just fashionable to criticize the law, and the cops. For many like Dennis, have never had to deal with the darker side of what society has to offer.
