Since you feel that Sheriff Joe was such a S.O.B. for enforcing immigration laws. Maybe you need to take a good look how the Obama administration went after him for defying Obama's illegal immigration policy. You do not need to reply as we know it will have you protecting that con artist you voted for twice and still support as your almighty savior.

Suing Arizona for enforcing federal law
In April 2010, Arizona adopted an immigration law designed to discourage illegal aliens from entering the state. The law, known as S.B. 1070, authorized state police officers to verify a person?s immigration status with federal authorities and detain individuals suspected of being in the country illegally.
When the state senate passed the bill, President Obama?s administration immediately sued and enjoined the state from enforcing portions of the state?s legislation.
The Constitution does not prohibit states from supporting enforcement of federal laws. The 10th Amendment states, ?The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.?
Just one week after it sued Arizona, Obama?s Justice Department said it would not pursue ?sanctuary cities? that openly violate federal law by protecting illegal aliens.
?There is a big difference between a state or locality saying they are not going to use their resources to enforce a federal law, as so-called sanctuary cities have done, and a state passing its own immigration policy that actively interferes with federal law,? Tracy Schmaler, spokeswoman for Attorney General Eric Holder, told the Washington Times. ?That's what Arizona did in this case.?
The Supreme Court weighed in on the matter in June 2012, rejecting key portions of the Arizona law but upholding the provision allowing police officers to check immigration status.
