Sheriff Joe Arpaio wants to meet Obama 'man to man' to discuss immigration and border security...

Unfortunately real man and Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio can never achieve this goal. He is one man short.

Defiant and reflective, 80-year-old Maricopa County, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio told Breitbart News after winning re-election that he has a message for President Barack Obama: granting amnesty to illegal immigrants is unfair to legal immigrants.

And Arpaio would like to discuss amnesty -- along with border security issues -- with Obama “man to man” directly at the White House. He would also like to reach out to Hispanic groups he said have misunderstood his intentions and bought into the negative “propaganda” about him.

“I wish the president would invite me to the White House,” Arpaio told Breitbart News. “We’ll have some wine and beer, and light up cigars.”

When it comes to potential amnesty provisions being discussed in Washington, Arpaio said he is against amnesty because, to him, it is a fairness issue the elite media and career politicians in Washington do not understand.

“It's a fairness issue, nobody thinks about that,” Arpaio said. “Why should we reward people who come here illegally?” Arpaio noted that “everybody around the world is waiting for years to come here” and “they don’t all come sneaking in.” “I'm an old-time guy, I just use common sense,” Arpaio said.  

Arpaio said he wanted to talk “man to man” with Obama, whose administration recently accused him of a “pattern” of misconduct that violated the civil rights of Hispanics in Maricopa County and sued him for what Arpaio says was his merely following the immigration enforcement laws that were on the books.
