Don't do your job, Sheriff Joe!

Sheriff Joe Arpaio believes people who break the law should be arrested. Most of us agree with him. However, a group of 10,000 protesters recently marched against him because he does just that. They don't think he should arrest illegal aliens.

Shouting "Joe must go," protesters started throwing bottles at officers toward the end of the march. Some of them wore shirts saying, "Who would Jesus deport?" I can answer that one -- Jesus taught that we should follow the law. So we can assume that He would agree that illegals should be deported.

My big question is where were immigration enforcement officials during this march? We could probably have deported about 9,999 if they had shown up and asked for credentials. I say 9,999, because one of the protesters was Linda Ronstadt, and I assume she's legal.
