KSAZ-TV -- Phoenix -- August 2, 2010 // He's been at the center of the discussions and controversies surrounding illegal immigration enforcement in Arizona for quite a while.
On the day parts of Arizona's immigration law, SB 1070, went into effect, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is in the news for another reason: there's a price on his head - allegedly offered by a Mexican drug cartel.

The feds have been investigating him for 10 years. He knows that. He makes them look bad for not enforcing the law.

@94fleetwood94 'this guy would be dead instantly if the cartel placed a hit on him.'
Sheriff Joe gets assassinated and there is no political fallout? How do you figure???
Unfortunately, it will take martyrs before America will step up the plate and address this issue. Robert Krentz was not famous. Arpaio has the balls to stand up to the cartels, which is why he keeps getting re-elected.

@XTManimal 'Most likely an American started this to increase the hate towards Mexicans.'
It's possible. But look around. This intimidation thing is part of Mexican culture. Silver or lead, as they say. Divide and conquer, one at a time. Do you love your wife, senor?
What happens when a cop stands up to the cartels in Mexico? ?Plata o plomo?
You know which they choose.

We need to close the border to Mexico completely. These Illegal aliens need to be rounded up and sent home, banned forever from re-entering U.S.A. territories. They are all outside our laws, what would happen if 8 million U.S. citizens went to Mexico, and some were threatening to kill public officials? They need to go now.Hurray for Sheriff Joe, an American hero in my eyes ! They all came here ILLEGALLY, or CAME TO VISIT AND ARE TRYING TO TAKE OVER OUR HOME !!!

The text was a joke, who the hell would give the okay to put it on the news? FOX, you fail in every aspect, and you've just lost a viewer.

This is fake anyone can send a text message. Cartels don't send text messages to random ppl. What is this high school?
The Mexican Cartel doesn't care about some old guy, they only care about keeping control of the major drug routes. Anyways this guy would be dead instantly if the cartel placed a hit on him.

@xXOcarinaOfTimeXx That would be facetious because, sarcasm means cutting and hurtful—but to the sheriff, from what I've seen, seems to be a nice old duffer, he's got a nice smile and all—is he in the drug ring corruption, or something? If he should be in jail, I don't know why some higher up investigators don't find out about it, and put'im, there, . . .
