Sheriffs crackdown on illegals investigated

semperfi211 · 02-14-2009

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's crackdown on illegal aliens is to be investigated by the Justice and Homeland Security Departments at the request of Democrat members of the House Judiciary Committee. Sheriff Arpaio is allegedly committing civil-rights violations.

The four lawmakers called on Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to investigate complaints that deputies used skin color as the basis to search for illegal immigrants. They also asked that a federal agreement allowing the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office to enforce immigration laws be terminated if any problems can't be fixed.
The lawmakers are the highest-level officials, and the first under the new Obama administration and Democratic-controlled Congress, to make such a request. They are committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. of Michigan, Zoe Lofgren of California, Jerrold Nadler of New York and Robert Scott of Virginia.

The Democrats claim that Sheriff Arpaio is overreaching his authority. Arpaio allegedly "scours Latino neighborhoods" searching for illegals based on skin color.
Frankly, I think that Congress is overreaching. From my reading, Sheriff Arpaio doesn't need to do racial profiling in Maricopa County to find illegal aliens. Arguably, it's a target-rich area. In fact, I've heard you can't swing a cat in Phoenix without hitting at least one illegal.

This is a big crock of shi#. When our LEO's are demonized for enforcing the laws.

Last time I was there was about 7 years ago. It was bad then and I'm sure much worse now. At least 1 reported kidnapping a day and estimated at 3 -5 actual kidnappings a day. Sounds like Sheriff Joe needs help NOT obstruction from the Obama Democrats

Next on news at eleven.....

Thieves escaped in a red ford truck....
This just in!
It is now known as it was a COLORED truck. The color NOT being black, white, yellow, brown, greed or purple. Could be red, but officials can not make a positive statement.

If its white, has a orange beak, orange feet, and quacks -

ITS A DUCK CAPT OBVIOUS

Unless you're a liberal or a democrat.

Then it could be a mouse who's lost its poor little way due to the oppression and civil rejection of all those years living in the marsh land.

PC Police Warning - you cannot use the term "Colored", it is offensive to Crayola and Never associate Obvious with the military or police departments.

there would be no civil rights violation if they just shipped them back as soon as they got them. come to think of it I might just become an illegal so I have some rights.
