October 2009
GQ Magazine publishes an in-depth piece on Arpaio. See Alexander Provan, “The Vigilante,” GQ Magazine, October 2009. Arpaio is quoted several times in the article. For example:
"I’m not gonna be intimidated by the new administration or by mayors here or by any other politician trying to intimidate me, including the news media. So I will do my job, I will not surrender. If they don’t like what I’m doing, change the law. I’m just enforcing the law." (This was stated in response to the reporter’s statement that the Obama Justice Department is investigating Arpaio in response to complaints that the MCSO engages in racial profiling.)
* * * *
“"My wife has a point about them coming over," Joe says. "All these people that come over, they could come with disease. There’s no control, no health checks or anything. They check fruits and vegetables, how come they don’t check people? No one talks about that! They’re all dirty. I sent out 200 inmates into the desert, they picked up 18 tons of garbage that they bring in—the baby diapers and all that. Where’s everybody who wants to preserve the desert?"
