Here we
go.
Ever
since Obama took office, opponents of illegal immigration
knew it would come to this.
This
Administration has already dismantled the enforcement
regime against illegal aliens. They engineered a
unilateral amnesty for
nearly 2 million illegal aliens by a stroke of Obama's pen
last August. They sued to stop states like Arizona,
Alabama and Georgia from enforcing existing immigration
laws after the Feds failed to do so. The Attorney General
has bullied states like Texas and South Carolina, by
blocking voter ID laws designed to stop
voter fraud by illegal aliens and others.
But
no matter what they did, or who they bullied, there was
always one individual who refused to back down: Sheriff
Joe Arpaio.
The Obama
cabal's intent to target Sheriff Joe was made clear early
on, when on March 11, 2009 -
at a time when
most cabinet departments were barely even staffed -
the DOJ announced a full
investigation of
Arpaio's department for "discriminatory police practices
and unconstitutional searches and seizures". What evidence
had they amassed after only
49 days in
office? They revealed
none.
But just
six months before that, in September 2008, the Immigration
and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) did its
own exhaustive
investigation of
Arpaio's office -- and
gave it a clean bill of
health.
ICE said
Maricopa County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) Sheriff and
deputies were "professional", had "met the requirements"
of Federal guidelines, which included a ban on racial
profiling.
They went
on:
ICE
investigators also interviewed top federal officials
involved in illegal immigrant cases in Arizona. They
found an "excellent" working relationship between
the sheriff's office and the feds. ICE talked as well to
federal prosecutors in Phoenix, who described the cases
brought by Maricopa County as "high quality."
Yet just six months later, a
barely-staffed DOJ accused Arpaio and his department of
"discriminatory police practices"? What had changed? Nothing. It was pure politics. That's all it
is, all it ever was.
Thomas
Perez, the head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights
Division - yes, the same one which dropped a case of
clear voter intimidation by the New
Black Panther Party in 2009, said
"The
police are supposed to protect and serve our
communities, not divide them. If you look
Latino (in Maricopa County), you are fair game.".
Perez is one of many former La Raza
radicals who have been given faux legitimacy via their
elevation to powerful positions in the Obama
Administration - including Cecilia Munoz and Hilda Solis -
and they play the dirtiest racial politics America has
ever seen.
Sheriff
Joe, who has become the nation's most prominent symbol in
the war against illegal immigration, wasted no time in
striking back. In an interview, he defiantly blasted the
Administration for their hypocrisy and corruption:
“Clean
your own house, Eric Holder, before you come trying to
clean mine,” Arpaio said. “This is a
coordinated effort directed from the White House to
deflect attention from Eric Holder’s failure to
cooperate in the congressional investigation into Fast
and Furious.”
“I won’t surrender,” Arpaio
insisted, referring to the Justice Department’s demand
to put federal monitors within the MCSO. “I
intend to fight back.”
America stands with Sheriff
Joe, and we
will fight with you all the way, including removing this
corrupt Administration - and their divisive, un-American
politics - from power in November.
