Sheriff Arpaio recently endorsed Perry in a live Fox interview with Neil Cavuto this past week, saying that he has switched from supporting Romney to backing Perry due to Perry's tougher illegal immigration laws. It is evident from the interview that Arpaio is "America's Toughest Sheriff," but I'm still confused as to why he thinks Perry will succeed in weeding out illegals when Perry is just too soft! I also asked why just illegal immigration laws should be stricter. America should also focus on making it easier to become a legal immigrant. These people will still come. Where there's a will, there's a way.
Arpaio screams a sense of false hope: "In one year in office as President, he will secure that border. I believe him." I don't! How is it possible for one man to accomplish that much that quickly? He would need the House of Representatives and the Senate backing him in order to achieve that, and Perry has a less than perfect social standing with many Democrats.
Perry is too soft, and he isn't touch on crimes, drugs, or immigration. He spends all of his time trying to change religion in schools and gays in the military. Those will be the policies he changes, NOT immigration laws.
This support will be great for Perry, but I don't think it will change anything. People will see past this support and see that Perry is just a religious fanatic who wants to convert everyone.
The only things I enjoyed during this broadcast were that Cavuto was surprisingly unbiased, even though Fox News is infamous for its right-wing slant, and the fact that Arpaio knew Texas was the second-largest state in the country, not the first. At least he has some intelligence!
