More quotes by Joe Arpaio
There's a lot of other [than Donald Trump] people that say things you may call insulting, but no one seems to care about that.
Joe Arpaio
If a nation's security is only as strong as its weakest link, then America may be in serious trouble. Hawaii may be our weakest link and could have a serious impact on our nation's immigration policy.
Joe Arpaio
I love the president Donald Trump. He supports law enforcement and I'm very humbled. I said publicly, recently, pardon or no pardon, I will be with him until the end.
Joe Arpaio
I just can't surrender. I can't start something and then surrender because of political reasons. I just don't do that, and that goes back to me, why I keep running when I should probably take it easy, even though I have no hobbies, and enjoy the rest of my life.
Joe Arpaio
I even used to stop vehicles going through stop signs, even though I was walking.
Joe Arpaio
We learn by our problems. We correct our deficiencies if there are any.
Joe Arpaio
I have compassion, I've told you people that over and over again. Enforcing the law overrides my compassion.
Joe Arpaio
It takes a lot of work to do this every day, every day, but I feel, as a sheriff, I should get to know my people. I serve them. They don't serve me. I serve them. They're my bosses, and the more people I can see and talk to, I love it.
Joe Arpaio
I'm not interested in Vice President. I'm hanging around Arizona. I'm running again for Sheriff.

I don't rely on the media. I usually average one speech a day for 25 years. People know me because I'm out there.
Joe Arpaio
I don't care where [Ted] Cruz comes from. I don't care where the President comes from. Day one, I opened an investigation on a fraudulent government Hawaii document, period, on a birth certificate, so if you can say Cruz has fake documents, okay.
Joe Arpaio
I can get along great with the Hispanics. In fact, I sure would like to meet them, even the politicians, maybe in the back room or whatever, have a couple of beers and try to explain. But they need to understand that I enforce the laws. I want to listen to them and hear their problems. I want them to tell me what their problems are.
Joe Arpaio
Everything I did in the jails - chain gangs, everything - I haven't changed the policy. I did it, I stand by it, and I'm not going to change.
Joe Arpaio
I don't throw people under the bus. When I stick by a guy - I may not agree with him all the time, but I sure don't throw him under the bus.
Joe Arpaio
You know why you have to give [Donald] Trump credit, whether you don't like him or not? He opened the door.Now there's a lot of talk about immigration. That's good. Nobody wanted to talk about it.
Joe Arpaio
I don't bow down to the federal government.
Joe Arpaio
I was taught to work hard and to be honest, and that's what I try to do, so that's it.
Joe Arpaio
I'm an equal-opportunity law-enforcement guy - I lock everybody up.
Joe Arpaio
Look at Israel. Israel is a great country for examples on how to do security.
Joe Arpaio
I believe Donald Trump is the best guy for president and I'm not going to shy away and I take the risk. I could just stay home and don't talk about any candidate.
