VICTOR BLACKWELL (HOST): What you heard there from a staunch supporter of Donald Trump about his views on immigration. What do you think? 

MARIA CARDONA: Well, I actually don't think much of Joe Arpaio. The man is a national disgrace. And that’s not just me talking, today The Washington Post had a scathing editorial about this man who has continually flouted the law, has been found in contempt of court repeatedly, and has now been referred for criminal prosecution to the Department of Justice because he refuses to stop racial profiling to keep his deputies from harassing Latinos, who are U.S. citizens, by the way, simply because of the color of their skin and how they look and sound. And this is a man who is advising a potential president on immigration law. I'm sorry, but it just does not ring true or credible or anything in terms of this man having anything to do with our nation's immigration laws.
