Joe Arpaio is the current conservative sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona. He is famous for being very tough on crime and illegal immigration. He has been attacked by the ACLU and the SPLC viciously because of his strong anti-illegal immigration stance. Arpaio became Sheriff of Maricopa County in 1992, and has been re-elected five times. In August, 1993, he started the nation’s largest "tent city" for convicted inmates. Two thousand convicted men and women serve their sentences in a canvas incarceration compound. [1] In 2012, he and a group of volunteer investigators furnished evidence suggesting that Barack Hussein Obama deliberately forged his birth records in order to take the presidency. [2]
