we had that interview with joe arpaio.ular person here, but we also spoke to latino voters who are very frustrated. they feel that they're being targeted here and that this issue is being used simply as a political football for arpaio and many other republicans. >> i would disagree with that. since i've been elected office, back in 2008, i've walked over 13,000 homes. as i've gone door to door and talked with constituents in my legislative district, the overwhelming discussion that goes on on those doorsteps is, what are we going to do about illegal immigration? and we came up with solutions on a state-based level, because our federal government is refusing to do anything substantial in stemming the flow of illegal immigration. i would want to add this. it's about legal immigration. we want people to come to this country, we want people to immigrate here legally, and we want people to come here and work. it's not about race, it's about legal immigration. >> how do you address the concerns, however, of a whole community, a

among them sheriff joe arpaio.y candidates come to kiss the ring looking for an endorsement from her itch arpaio. rick santorum spent 30 minutes with him last week. but so far he has declined to endorse anyone after rick perry dropped out of the race. four years ago joe arpaio was one of the only people to get behind mitt romney. i asked him why did he endorse perry and romney four years ago but hasn't endorsed anyone since then. here is what he told me. >> i don't get on a bandwagon. where was all these people in arizona four years ago pitch was the only guy pushing mitt romney. i don't know what changed in four years. he's still the same guy still saying the same thing though a little tougher on immigration right now. >> reporter: illegal immigration is a big issue but so is the economy. the foreclosure crisis is very bad in this state. arizona governor jan brewer has gotten behind romney. but we found undecided voters having a problem making up their mind. there one juan guy we talked to, he said he hasn't voted

it's a reputation promoted by the man who runs it all, sheriff joe arpaio. >> i'm not a social worker. i'm not a psychologist. i'm a law enforcement guy. so if they don't like the way i operate the jails, i got one answer to everybody -- either get out of town, or if you're here, don't violate the law, because you're not going into a hilton hotel in this county. >> get on the ground now! get on the ground now! get down! 23, get down. >> with his wild west reputation, we didn't expect to meet two young people at maricopa who not much earlier were considered role models as opposed to felons. >> no matter where we are you need to be serving god. right now we're all sitting in jail. i'm a very devout christian. i've gotten back to my walk with god. i was working in my church and everything before coming here. it's not jailhouse conversion or whatever. i just followed a friend and shouldn't have done that and helped him do something that i shouldn't have done. and it's going to cost me several years of my life. >> during our extended stay series at maricopa we told the story of 20-year-old

immigration and you raised the point about the latino vote, you also showed they showed sheriff joe arpaio who is the subject of a lawsuit on discrimination. not only does it seem like they don't regard the president as the president. they don't take seriously justice department lawsuits that they should at least wait until we see whether or not they are proven to be discrimination or not. it just -- a total, total, in my opinion, ignore something very serious charges about discrimination that is tied to these discrimination laws. this insult has got to cost them latino votes and other votes. >> romney's rhetoric may not be as hot. i haven't heard him recently talk about satan. but the message he's sending out on social issues nld and immigration is if you want someone at the extreme, i'm your guy. he's doing it because he thinks he has to to get the republican nomination. i think it's going to be very hard for him to build a bridge back. maybe he's hoping that his saving grace will be that people believe he's actually lying about his real beliefs, doesn't mean any of this. i think it woul

sheriff joe arpaio with us tonight told me this week here in mesa, it's called political garbage, ifou will, to not arrest illegals already in this country. you've talked to the governor about deportation, if businesses do their job asking for the right document, people will leave. what about arresting? should there be aggressive, seek them out and arrest them as the sheriff advocates? >> i think you see a model in arizona. they passed a law that says that people who come here and try and find work, that the employer is required to look them up and e verify. this system allows employers in arizona to know who's here legally and who's not. as a result of that being put in place, the number of people in arizona that appear illegally has dropped by some 14%, while the national average has only gone down 7%. back to the question, the right course for america is to drop these lawsuits against arizona and other states trying to do the job barack obama isn't doing doing, which -- and i will drop those lawsuits on day one. i'll also complete the fence. i'll make sure we have enough border pa
