Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff Joe Arpaio may not have got the Orange County sheriff he wanted in the last election, but he still has a soft spot for Californians.

Oh, yes–Arpayaso half-jokingly, half-smart-assingly: thank Golden Staters for coming to Arizona to mount protests against him; urge them to spend more tourist dollars (boycott be damned!); and, when informed undocumented Arizoners are now flooding California, state, “Isn't that nice?”
