I'd vote for him. We need someone who isn't afraid of political correctness and get down to the business of getting this country back on its feet instead of molly-coddling criminals and deadbeats.

I'd vote for him in a second...I'm tired of the lying pansies we've been dealing with. Oh, and I also don't believe in "loaded" votes. I would like a direct vote, and if you choose to sit in your recliner, yours is not counted as a majority vote!

I live in Oxnard Ca. I'm an American Citizen. I used to get bullied at school be illegal aliens. The teachers respected the illegals more that citizens. Now that I've graduated, I know how hard it is to get a job. In Oxnard, 90% of companies here are now owned by Mexicans. These companies give special deals to other Mexicans only. They only hire Mexicans. I have heard from several people that they claim 100 dependents and don't pay income tax. They don't pay for hospital visits including having children. Now since the last US census, they are pushing Simi Valley(who is pro-American) out of the voting district of Ventura County. This means that Simi Valley's votes go to Los Angeles county's district which is long gone.
If this happens, Mexicans will have succeeded at taking over another county of over 800,000 people who's average income is $60,000/household. and average house is worth $500,000.
We need our next President to take this issue seriously. I think Joe would.

Wouldn't it be neat to have a president whom a person could actually respect?
Imagine someone who would actually enforce US immigration laws.
Imagine someone who could reduce crime by making jail time so uncomfortable that a criminal would want to avoid it.
Imagine someone who could manage a budget instead of giving away trillions.
Teddy Roosevelt went from New York City Police Commissioner to President... maybe Joe could do something similar!

The man shouldn't be a town dog catcher much less a Sheriff. There have been more lawsuits brought against the MCSO since he became Sheriff than in the 70 years proceeding his election. He surrounds himself with people of questionable abilities and morals (like D Henderschott) and then wonders why people relate his minion's behavior to him. He had a few good ideas but it was like sprinkling a few gems over a field of manure... Too little, too late. I have voted for Bobby Ayala every time he ran and hope he will run again. A much better man and deputy than Joe ever was or will be.....
