President Obama is suing Arizona for hav ing its cops identify and round up illegal aliens -- even though he's also deputizing them to do the same thing.
That's right: Under a little-known federal program called ICE 287(g), the administration has continued to enlist at least eight Arizona state law-enforcement agencies to carry out the procedures at issue in the new Arizona law, which goes into effect July 29.
The program dates to a 1995 law signed by President Bill Clinton, which allows US immigration officials to train local law-enforcement officers and authorize them to ID and detain illegals. After 9/11, the Homeland Security Department entered into official partnership agreements with various police departments, allowing them to search federal databases for illegals.
The program spread across the country, including to Arizona. It now involves 71 state and local police agencies. Indeed, Homeland Security has even conscripted Arizona state troopers to help it enforce federal immigration rules. Obama's Homeland Security chief, Janet Napolitano, OK'd that agreement and another deal with a second state law-enforcement agency when she was Arizona's governor.
All told, the feds have deputized 1,100-plus cops in 26 states to round up illegals -- including officers in the liberal bastions of New Jersey, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Maryland and Massachusetts.

Fact: Not arresting the undocumented, unnatural usurper
and the Democrats who tricked America in this disaster/travesty
is misprision of a felony.
I think Obama is another Russian Spy
from IMAO:
“Does the federal government ignoring a law supersede a state enforcing it?”
“So Obama won’t enforce the borders, but he will spend our tax money on making sure states don’t either.”
There...corrected it!
I think the plan is to be able to say to the courts that the feds are doing their job (LOL), so there’s no reason for the Arizona law.
This fact should make the lawsuit a little more interesting.
