Where in the Constitution do illegal aliens have rights?
Nowhere. The Constitution is a document that protects citizens of America and contains government to that end.

I remember years ago some network had an interview with Sheriff Joe and the inmates in his jail. There was a tent city in the yard because crime had gotten so bad.
Do you take seriously those who are for an invasion corridor through Arizona? Would any sober American?A federal judge serves at the pleasure of a President that has taken 8 years to show American's the change he believes in.

I can't imagine anyone favoring unsecured borders. It only helps the illegal entry into the country and of course the trafficking of drugs. It's not likely to change much with Hillary at the wheel either. :/

Nothing much will change with Hilary, I am quite confident of that. Of course with Trump, I think a lot could change for the worse, so I have that going for me.

That is the only way you get rid of a federal judge.
Again, I believe you are confusing me with the member that spoke of impeachment. I've never said anything about getting rid of a federal judge.

I don't see how securing the border can be worse than allowing anyone to cross with little restrictions.

You're right. There should be no reason murdering them is not okay. After all, their basic human rights are not a given!

(For the record: illegals do have many of the protections provided by the constitution. http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/rightsandfreedoms/a/illegalrights.htm )

This thread is just depressing, in how downright counterfactual many are willing to become in order to defend someone on "their side". Regardless of whether you consider the judge's order reasonable or not, the fact is that the order was given by a court justice, and therefore Arpaio's options are comply or appeal. If he does neither, then he is in contempt of court, full stop. This is a basic legal issue: when the court gives you a legal order to knock something off, you comply, you appeal, or you are in contempt. And no, throwing the judge out won't change this fact, the president doesn't have the ability to do so (seriously, what?!), it's not a political issue, and it's not an issue of "activist judges" (the real activist would be the judge who submits a legal order, then doesn't consider the person who ignores it in contempt of court). Just about every right-wing post in this thread has been completely wrong in its core, and shows a deep and fundamental misunderstanding of the judicial, the separation of powers, the constitution, or something else.

Joe Arpaio violated the civil rights of people under his charge. The court told him to knock it off. He did not knock it off, and instead flagrantly and intentionally violated their orders. Now he's getting slapped with a criminal contempt of court referral. End of story.

If the only issue was securing the border, I would agree with you.
Have you agreed with border security, strong vetting of refugees, and prosecution and deportation of illegals before?
