Obama’s Amnesty Agenda (see also "Barack, your going to get me killed", this blog)

Obama’s Dept. of Justice has begun an investigation of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Dept. For what? you might ask. Is it shooting related? Has the Dept. been running drugs? Are there some other corruption charges being investigated? Perhaps some yet to be revealed plot against the Federal Government? Well, the last is perhaps closest to the truth. It would seem that Sheriff Joe Arpaio (the man we all want in charge of our county Sheriff Dept.’s) has had the audacity to actually enforce the laws against illegal immigration. It would seem that Sheriff Joe is looking at inmates of the system and determining their legal status in this country. If they are found to be here illegally, he places a hold on them and when their term is completed they are deported back to their country of origin. Humm, just like the law says.



The following is an excerpt (thanks to www.cnsnews.com) of a letter dated March 10, 2009, Loretta Smith, acting assistant attorney general at the DOJ, detailed what her department would be investigating:

"This is to inform you that the United States Department of Justice is commencing an investigation of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office (''MCSO'') pursuant to the pattern or practice provisions of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994,42 U.S.C. §14141 ("Section 14141") and the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968,42 U.S.C. § 3789d ("Safe Streets Act"), and pursuant to the prohibitions against national origin discrimination in Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,42 U.S.C. §§ 2000d to 2000d-7 ("Title Yr') and the Safe Streets Act, 42 U.S.C. § 3789d(c)."

The letter continues: "The investigation will focus on alleged patterns or practices of discriminatory police practices and unconstitutional searches and seizures conducted by the MCSO, and on allegations of national origin discrimination, including failure to provide meaningful access to MCSO services for limited English proficient (LEP) individuals."

"In conducting the investigation, we will seek to determine whether there are violations of the above laws by the MCSO."

Reps. John Conyers (D-Mich.), Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), and Robert Scott (D-Va.) requested the investigation, and activists groups such as National Day Laborer Organizer Network and ACORN launched petition drives and rallies in support of the probe (according to CNSNEWS.com).

This is beyond belief. One of the designated duties of the Federal Government (the Fed) is to protect our borders and it is the one thing that it will not do. The Fed, led by both senate and house democrats since 2006 has done all but put out the welcome mat on the southern border and start sending busses to pick up everyone headed north and drive them to their desired destination. I can not understand the DOJ investigating a man for actively enforcing both state and federal law. These are people being jail for (amongst other things) forgery, kidnapping, aggravated assault, drug charges, robbery, murder, and theft. These are felons we are talking about and the Democrats and other liberal pressure groups want them staying here. These are the same people that want to give all the illegal immigrants drivers licenses. Now lets see, ACORN is being indicted on voter fraud charges at this time, and what is it that you have to present at the polling place to vote (at least here in Colorado)? That’s right, a drivers license. So not only do these people want these felons back out and roaming your streets, but they especially want them voting. And not only the felons, but all other illegal aliens too. The Democrats/leftist/socialists want to dilute your vote. They would rather give away the country then to give up their power. These people and organizations need to be stopped. The moral bankruptcy of the Democrat party and the Obama administration is on blatant display here. Not only is Obama (he has the say over DOJ) advocating the release of criminals back into American society, but he and congress (senate & house) are hanging a “come on in” sign on the southern border. Obama is putting an end to any thought or deed of protection for our country along the southern border whether that be fencing, border agents that can actually enforce border security, or even National troops (due to the deteriorating political situation in Mexico, and the rising heavy armed violence spreading north across our southern border). Obama has put a stop to the building of any fences. The protection of the borders is the business of the Fed, not schools, not health care, not taking over banks, not buying peoples mortgages, not regulating the private sector, and not persecuting a good man and his department for actually doing his job (and a dam good one too). The only business the Fed has in this case is sending as many busses or planes that the Sheriff needs to get these criminals out of our country and the troops to support his efforts. Does this make you feel ill? Call these people (be civil) and let them know what you think. If they don’t want to listen because you are not in their district, remind them that your political dollars spend just fine there in the hands of their opponents where you will be sending those dollars to.
