Sheriff Joe: ‘This Is Going To Open The Floodgates’
Warns Obama’s new actions will only increase violent illegals on America’s streets

In a radio interview set to air Sunday, Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona, worried President Obama’s recent executive actions on immigration will only increase the number of illegal aliens crossing the southern border, including those who commit violent crimes while in the U.S.
“One thing I’m really concerned [about],” Arpaio said, “this is going to open up more floodgates because everyone over [the border] is going to think, ‘Wait a minute, let’s come on in to the United States, and we’re going to get a free pass.’ So I think we’re going to see more people coming in to our country.”
Arpaio’s comments are set to appear on Sunday’s “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio” on New York’s 970 AM The Answer. An early copy of the segment was obtained by WND.
The sheriff, whose enforcement of immigration laws and criminal laws violated by border crossers has frequently put him at odds with the federal government, has already filed a lawsuit over Obama’s executive plan to curb deportations.
“This unconstitutional act by the president will have a serious detrimental impact on my carrying out the duties and responsibilities for which I am charged as sheriff,” Arpaio’s lawsuit states.
What concerns Arpaio most, however, is the possibility Obama’s executive order could increase the release of criminal illegals onto the streets.
