Borders Quote by Joe Arpaio

“If they [mexicans] cross the border, I think, and they are violating the law, then that word criminal does connect with that violation, so if they're violating the law, I guess you can call them criminals. We call everybody else criminals that violate the law.” quote by Joe Arpaio — Download Open image
