1. How can someone be so depraved as to do this?

He needs to be in jail.

3. It can't happen a minute too soon, guess they shut down CPS in AZ?

[romantico]

2. He

He did this for one reason and that was to make a point. He is performing for all the Birthers out there who hate Obama. I wish someone in the media would have the balls and ask Romney what he thinks of this. We all know it will never happen but I can dream.

4. Obama's 6-year old encounter ... awwww

Just a bit of comparison.

5. What is scary about this is the backlog of sexual assaults

He should be investigating those cases, again very young children are suffering from a big dumb something he thinks is a sheriff. He has to go.

6. Sheriff Joe is a real piece of shit.

7. I live in Arizona

and I see Joe in action all the time, he is a real pain in the ass that's for sure but this is just part of the ongoing battle between Arpaio and the Arizona Republic. The story is skewed. What were they suppose to do with the little girl, just turn her loose. She needs to be held in some kind of custody until it can be determined where her parents are and if she can be safely returned to her family. She will be cared for by the state child protective services folks, she will be well cared for until some sort of determination can be made.

8. Good thing Obama just took away that jackass's ability to get her deported.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

13. Nope

The change in enforcement won't apply to her, unless she's been here for 5 years.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

15. She's 6.

What do you want to bet she was BORN here?

[SickOfTheOnePct]

16. Well, unless she was born here (which I hope is the case)

She doesn't fall under the new policy. She doesn't have a high school diploma, GED and/or served in the military.

9. What is up with Az?

It seems like the most backwards state in the Union.

[Meiko]

10. Because we

have people like Arpaio running around in positions of authority. He just keeps getting voted into office, I don't get it. That and our long history of fantastic governors.

11. Why do the voters in AZ keep electing this neanderthal?

[Meiko]

14. I am not sure why

people keep voting for him, mostly because of his showmanship I think. He promoted the tent city (Total hell hole in the summer) He pushed all kinds of programs to save the taxpayers money on prisoner housing. He brought back chain gangs, the list goes on. You have to remember that Arizona is still a repuke majority but the tide is turning. I don't think he will be around much longer.

12. Do YOU have a better idea?

So he arrests her fellow travellers.

Should he leave her in the desert?

Would he have had the legal right to remove that unidentified person from the scene WITHOUT formally arresting her? He's neither a relative nor a teacher of hers or some equivalent.

Could he turn her over to the ICE when she's not formally in custody?
