Sheriff Joe Arpaio STRIKES BACK

Americans are too soft. We so desperately want to help people that we end up hurting ourselves. We did it with welfare, we do it in the war on terror, and we do it when it comes to Illegal immigration. Too many people on the liberal side of the fence argue that illegal immigration is a racial issue. Those of us that want to protect the US boarders inspired by racism, trying to keep out Hispanics. This is simply not true. Illegal immigration is a Law and Order Issue and a anti-terrorism issue.

President Obama's Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security have suddenly begun harassing a border-state sheriff who zealously enforces the law.

In early March, the Justice Department notified Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the top lawman in Maricopa County, Ariz., that his department is under investigation for "patterns" of discriminatory police practices and unconstitutional searches and seizures. The letter offered zero specifics, because there were no specifics to be had. But if I had to make a guess, I would bet that any specifics they could come up with would match the radical agenda of community organizers like ACORN and other government-funded immigration lobbyists, all of whom just happened to lauch a coordinated campaign "message" againt the Sheriff at about the same time as the justice department action

Arpaio's department is the largest participant in the 287(g) federal program that lets local police departments help enforce federal immigration laws. His deputies cooperate with federal agencies, such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), that break up smuggling rings. Since 2006, Arpaio has handed over 22,616 illegal immigrants to Immigration for deportation.

Sheriff Joe isn't taking the federal government harassment lying down, today he joined his lawyers at a press conference:

Fight Joe, Fight! Is it any wonder that an investigation starts after O picks Napolitano as HS Chief. Nappy has had it out for Joe since the beginning.

The voters do not agree with this charade! They overwhelmingly re-elect this guy time after time. The American public needs to know more about this.

We need to fight for Sheriff Joe. We cannot let fall the few people with courage enough to stand up to the heavy hand of Obama’s federal government. Sheriff Joe has the authority to conduct his law enforcement his way, which is fully within the law, and he has the right to prosecute ILLEGAL aliens.

Remember, when they come after someone, just because it’s not you or yours this time, it may well be, next time.
