Oldguy61 - You have two granddaughters who cannot get a job because of identity theft?
What is the court docket number, I would like to review the file.
(and if there isn't one, shame on their parents for not fighting for their rights)

The vocal minority always makes it appear that Joe is not wanted. In reality, he is only not wanted by the illegals and their supporters. I have always voted for Joe and always will. It will be a sad day in this valley when Joe is gone. I am not a racist and hold no ill will toward any race or religion, but something has got to give. Many of the illegals steal our identities (I have 2 granddaughters who cannot get a job because of this.), drive without insurance, and when all else fails steal from us. I have absolutely no problem with anyone who comes here legally from anywhere in the world. The illegals need to stay in their own countries and fix their problems there.

Sc rew you liberals and get ready to enjoy another 4 years or Arpaio. Imagine all the illegals he will get rid of in the next 4 years courtesy of your tax dollars. Keep up the great work Joe and keep sending them home to mexico.

out of the 4.7 million total that he has more or less I'll bet he got over 4 million from out of state?
