Tancredo frequently invokes the name of the Sheriff Joe Arpaio when he talks about illegal immigration problems. The sheriff of Maricopa County in Phoenix has a reputation for his hard-line approach against illegal immigration, resulting in a U.S. Department of Justice investigation.
Arpaio and Tancredo have something in common besides an obsession with illegal immigration. Arpaio is being discussed as a presidential contender in 2012. Tancredo ran for president in 2008, but dropped out after getting limited support.
Tancredo, a former Republican congressman, is running for governor on the American Constitution Party ticket.
