With narcotics, gangs, and illegal immigrants continuing to infiltrate our southern border, former Sheriff and current Senate candidate Joe Arpaio floated an out of the box idea to further alleviate the crisis.
WorldNetDaily reports:
Arpaio, who is now seeking the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Jeff Flake, broadcast the plan on “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio.”
“My idea, which is maybe out of the box: Since we have agents that are government employees working with foreigners, why don’t we use another government agency that happens to be the U.S. Army and send them across the border to work with the foreign authorities, the Federales and the Mexican army? Not to invade Mexico,” Arpaio explained.
“We have been doing it anyway with other types of government employees so who is going to argue with this? Because something has to be done before the drugs come over the border. Stop it before it gets to the border. That is how you solve the problem.”
Arpaio noted the Mexican government would need to greenlight the proposal before the U.S. Army could get involved, and said President Trump could use pressure tactics such as withholding foreign aid.
The longtime Maricopa County Sheriff also revealed should he win that he would open a Senate office at the U.S.-Mexico border.
