Sheriff Joe’s priorities

Stateline.org reports that authorities in Maricopa County, Ariz., have raided some 40 workplaces in the past two years, looking for undocumented workers. Although Arizona reputedly has the nation's strictest laws against hiring illegal immigrants, fabled Sheriff Joe Arpaio's forces have arrested and charged scores of workers, but hardly any employers.

Does that seem right?
