I am the constitutionally and legitimately elected sheriff, and I absolutely refuse to surrender my responsibility to the federal government.
Joe Arpaio
Some people call me a publicity hound.
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
Many times, when you go to arrest somebody, they pull their gun, and here I am, a federal agent, telling them to drop their gun. But the gun is like that. I give them a split second to drop it, and they drop it. I could have shot them - who is going to complain?
Joe Arpaio
I even used to stop vehicles going through stop signs, even though I was walking.
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.

The young people when I go to McDonald's, the Hispanic clerks will come by, 'Sheriff, can we have a picture?' over and over again. At least they want a picture with me.
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 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
Now everybody is mafia. You got the Russian mafia, the Mexican mafia. Everybody is mafia these days.
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 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.
Joe Arpaio
You get so tired of political correctness. I'm noted for speaking out all my career.
Joe Arpaio
We learn by our problems. We correct our deficiencies if there are any.
