Arpaio: Court’s SB1070 ruling “affirmed our program”
Maricopa County Sheriff, Joe Arpaio, said on Monday that the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the “show me your papers” provision of SB1070 only ratified what his controversial department has been doing for the past few years since the law was signed in Gov. Jan Brewer in 2010.
“We’ve been doing this anyway under state laws, I am a supporter of 1070 but we’ve been enforcing the state illegal immigration laws for several years so nothing changes,” said Sheriff Arpaio from Phoenix.
