The self-proclaimed “America’s toughest sheriff” was re-elected to a sixth term yesterday in Arizona, defeating a retired police sergeant and overcoming opposition from Hispanic groups.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, 80, a Republican, was defiant as he addressed supporters last night, criticizing the media for portraying the race as close and sending a message to Hispanics and President Barack Obama that he won’t back down from his controversial immigration enforcement. He said he would run again in four years.

“I will continue to enforce all the laws, including illegal immigration,” he said. “Nothing changes.”

This is one of the state/local elections that put a smile on my face. It keeps me from going into 100% depression.  :-)

Assuming however that the President doesn't order Eric Holder to arrest him.

FBI SWAT teams take care of any attempt to impede the arrest.
