Arizona Sheriff: ‘Our Own Government Has Become Our Enemy’

[feduptaxpayer]

(CNSNews.com) – Pinal County (Ariz.) Sheriff Paul Babeu is hopping mad at the federal government.

Babeu told CNSNews.com that rather than help law enforcement in Arizona stop the hundreds of thousands of people who come into the United States illegally, the federal government is targeting the state and its law enforcement personnel.

“What’s very troubling is the fact that at a time when we in law enforcement and our state need help from the federal government, instead of sending help they put up billboard-size signs warning our citizens to stay out of the desert in my county because of dangerous drug and human smuggling and weapons and bandits and all these other things and then, behind that, they drag us into court with the ACLU,” Babeu said.

The sheriff was referring to the law suits filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and the U.S. Department of Justice challenging the state’s new immigration law.

“So who has partnered with the ACLU?” Babeu said in a telephone interview with CNSNews.com. “It’s the president and (Attorney General) Eric Holder himself. And that’s simply outrageous.”

Last week, U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton placed a temporary injunction on portions of the bill that allowed law enforcement personnel during the course of a criminal investigation who have probable cause to think an individual is in the country illegally to check immigration status. The state of Arizona filed an appeal on Thursday with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

“Our own government has become our enemy and is taking us to court at a time when we need help,” Babeu said.

Babeu and Sheriff Larry Dever of Cochise County Ariz., spoke by phone with CNSNews.com last week about the May 17 ACLU class-action lawsuit, which charges the law uses racial profiling and named the county attorneys and sheriffs in all 15 Arizona counties as defendants. The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit on July 6, charging the Arizona law preempted the federal government’s sole right to enforce immigration law.

“If the president would do his job and secure the border; send 3,000 armed soldiers to the Arizona border and stop the illegal immigration and the drug smuggling and the violence, we wouldn’t even be in this position and where we’re forced to take matters into our own hands,” Babeu said.
Dever said the federal government’s failure to secure the border and its current thwarting of Arizona’s effort to control illegal immigration within its borders has implications for the entire country.

Good post. It's nice to see that someone gives a chit about all of this illegal immigration nonsense and the crimes and violence that is involved with illegal immigration.

 

[Avorysuds]

Your usename is 'deportillegals'?

Do you have any other interests?

isn't it sad that that's how someone would choose to identify themselvs? i gues it could be worse... he could have named himself 'whitesupremacist'.

And your name could have been Hitler... are you always this fucking dumb?

 

[JakeStarkey]

I see we have the same type of suspect far right wing reactionary bubbleheads.

No, racists, we are not going to deport 12mm folks. Not going to happen, you morons.

Obama already said he's not interested in securing the border.

How can he get immigration reform without it degenerating into a crisis?

On the other hand he and the DOJ ignores sanctuary cities and voter intimidation by the New Black Party.

Yes...the enemy is in the White House.

 

[JakeStarkey]

mudwhistle, post your evidence for Obama supposedly saying that. You can't, so shut up, you moron.

Stupid policies lead to bad outcomes without doubt.

Now dig this... VPR News: Under Obama, More Illegal Immigrants Sent Home

President Obama has already deported more illegal immigrants than the Bush administration and is well on pace to deport more illegals than any other president.

What the heck is this guy talking about? I'll tell you what he's talking about...

He's talking about exploiting the new law in order to reinstate racial profiling. Food for thought

Hold your horses there hylandrdet, if I'm not mistaken the reason for the large number of Illegals sent back this year and last is due to the ICE program "Secure Communities" which was enacted in March of 2008. Now Obama may be talking about expanding the program but he can't claim, or anybody else for this matter, that he's the reason for these numbers.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Obama certainly can claim victory in the number of deportees. Anyone who says different is trying to create his own reality and his own definitions to support that wierd world that does not worry about facts.

And what facts are those, what has he done specifically to combat our illegal immigration problems other than talking about it?

 

[JakeStarkey]

The fact that he is deporting illegal aliens in far greater numbers than in the previous administrations?

Once you admit that, we can move forward.

 

[Nate]

Did you not read my post? The reason for the larger number of deportees this year and last is due to a ICE program that was enacted in March of 2008 while Bush was still President. Obama had nothing to do with that. To use your logic then Obama IS the cause of our economic depression because he happens to be the Prez while it's going on...

 

[Angelhair]

What is wrong with the name 'deportillegals'??? We say it everyday on these boards. Stop being hypocrites. If you want to talk racist, read the signs that the pro-illegal crowds hold up to the TV cameras for ALL the word to see. It's NOT racist to deport illegals - it's just respecting the Sovereign Law of the USA. But it seems every other country can demand respect for their sovereignty except the USA - wonder why????

Kudos to BUSH!!!! Wish Obama would be as smart! HE is the president of the USA NOW!!! He was sworn in and that made HIM responsible for what happens the minute he took THE OATH! How many of you liberals blamed Clinton for everything that happen during Bush's reign??? One does have to wonder when you Bush haters are going to stop with the GWB bashing. If you want to blame Bush for the economy going belly up, then you have to blame ALL of the presidents going way back to the CARTER years. And as for the deportations, you can blame Clinton for the mess we face now as HE never wanted to do anything about illegal entry either!!! Smoke that!

 

[JakeStarkey]

You guys refuse to get the truth. A democratic congress held a virtual gun to Bush's head to get him to sign the legislation in 2008. That means that Obama voted for the legislation that he had every reason to believe he had a good opportunity to begin enforcing the next year, which he did.

The very, very best you can get on this is that it was bi-partisan, though many, many of the GOP were screaming "no". Hypocritical reactionaryies@
!
Good for this administration, and 'boo' to those who are acting like the GOP have anything to do with it today.

To liberals illegal immigrants have a right to be here

cmike has trouble at times with nuance. Much of the anti-immigrant nonsense is racist, while some of it is based solely on the concept that illegals are indeed here illegally. The right misses what the center and left realizes: (1) the illegals, most of them, believe they are 'home' here; (2) the birthright children and young adults outnumber the nativists who oppose their parents, and will outvote them within five years; and (3) Americans in the great majority will not tolerate police state action in removing illegals.

Now, cmike, understanding the above facts, how do you propose resolving this issue in a manner that has a chance to actually work?

Make it almost impossible for undocumented aliens to find work.

They'll leave on their own.


Better yet....institute the same laws Mexico has against illegals.

Let Mexico be Mexico, and let the U.S. solve it our American way. I agree with punishing businesses so badly they would scream and run the other way if there was the slightest question about a worker's documents. Issue a national ID card to help businesses employ only those who are eligible. Secure the border solidly not only because of illegals (Mud, some will come anyway) but also because the bad guys are sooner or later try to get something very nasty across the border into the country.

 

[SW2SILVER]

“Deport illegals" is akin to something like "Stop rape" or "Quit smoking" or “Stop war” or whatever. Please. WHO has a problem with that? I have problem with illegals. They aren’t my “brothers” and, they are not YOURS either. They just trespassers. They lie, they misrepresent the issue. They
are not fucking IMMIGRANTS. Anyone gotta problem with that?

 

[JakeStarkey]

Gotta a problem with stupidity like yours, silver.

Excuse me, but if I recall, the president has the power to retract the ICE program, if he believes that it was wrong. He's not retracting it; could it be possible that this LIBERAL may agree with the RIGHT on this issue. Noooo...

In your mind, this president is NOT allowed to seek common ground...

Food for thought.
