Good ol' Sheriff Joe Arpiao is giving the illegals and our Feds fits!




The reality is that there is and has been a looming contest of legal authority between the Federal government agencies and local elected authority. Most don't realize that Sheriff Joe represents the highest enforcement authority in America today... and that is your county sheriff.

You can bet your bottom dollar that there are manifold efforts taking place in several states to actually do away with the county sheriff and his office. Various excuses are given, but they are all trash excuses.

The real reason is that liberals do not want an enforcement department that is directly accountable to the individual citizen... and if you think for just a few seconds you should be able to reason out why this would be the case.

Feds limit Ariz. sheriff's crackdown on illegal immigrants

Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio says he will continue his controversial "crime suppression operations" despite a Department of Homeland Security decision to strip him of authority to arrest suspected illegal immigrants based solely on their immigration status, the East Valley Tribune reports.
“It’s all politics,” says Arpaio, sheriff of Maricopa County.

Arpaio will still have the power to check the immigration status of people booked by his officers, but not the authority to conduct street patrols looking for illegal immigrants.

His “crime suppression operations” are saturation patrols in designated areas where deputies would find illegal immigrants by stopping them for traffic infractions and minor violations, the paper says.

The Department of Justice and other federal agencies are investigating the sheriff’s office on accusations of racial profiling during the operations, the paper says.

Arpaio said he will be able to still conduct the crime sweeps under state human smuggling laws and an obscure federal law that allows local police to arrest illegal immigrants...

This represents a contest that is likely to be coming to your county in the not to distant future.
