PHOENIX - Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who gained notoriety for putting inmates on chain gangs and issuing them striped uniforms and pink underwear, has now ordered all illegal immigrants in jail to register for the draft.

About 500 illegal immigrants in the Maricopa County jail system have not complied with a 1980 federal law that requires all men between 18 and 26 to register, regardless of their immigration status, Arpaio said.

By late Wednesday about 500 inmates were registered, including 75 to 100 illegal immigrants, said a spokeswoman for the sheriff's office.

Registration is expected to finish this weekend, she said.

Draft? Why was that word used and not registering for Selective Service? Makes it sound like the draft itself is imminent?

1. Knowing his penchant for cutting costs on inmate care, he probably had

they actually enlist.

2. Kind of, like..........

you wanted work? we've got a job for you, but it could get you killed.

4. On the 'up side' - no pink BVDs!

That Joe, what a guy!

3. If there was a draft

what would happen to an illegal immigrant who got drafted? Would he be entitled to citizenship after his term of service?

5. Hasn't that already been offered to illegals who enlist? (n/t)
