(CNSNews.com) Sheriff Larry Dever, whose officers patrol Cochise County along the border between Arizona and Mexico, said he finds it amazing that the U.S. State Department would refer the recently passed immigration law in his state to the United Nations Human Rights Council for review.
Well, its just amazing to me, Dever told CNSNews.com. Course, I have about as much regard for the U.N. as I do the vermin that hides in the rocks around my house here and reaches out and tries to bite me every now and then.
The Bush administration refused to join the U.N. Human Rights Council, citing lax membership criteria that allowed countries with poor human rights records to sit on the council, including countries such as China, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Russia, Cuba, Pakistan, Tunisia and Egypt.
The Obama administration joined the council, citing its imperfections but made claims that U.S. efforts could change the organization for the better.
Now, the U.S. State Department is asking the council to review possible human rights violations that supposedly could occur under the Arizonas new law against illegal immigration. The U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) has also filed a lawsuit challenging the Arizona law.
Where does this end? Dever told CNSNews.com.
Why the Department of Justice intervened in this case to begin with was beyond comprehension, Dever said, referring to the DOJ lawsuit, which claims that the Arizona law violated the federal governments exclusive right to enforce federal immigration laws.

Right you are. Vermin perform a useful function.
If the sheriff holds an elected position in that county, this guy is guaranteed to retain his job for a long time. As he should.
Obama seems to be singling out and making an example of Arizona...

How does a state that elects sherrifs like Arpaio, Dever, and Babeu, and a Govener like Jan Brewer also hand us the turd sandwich McCain?
Ping!
To vermin everywhere. Stand up and unite. Dont let this type of insult stand.
“Vermin of the World, U Mite!”
blue helmets make good clear targets
U Mite indeed... ;^|
Gets him out of the state, doesn't it?
I think I have less. Much less.
I want to toss the UN out asap. Send them to Canada who has said they want them or to France. We’ve had the UN long enough. Let some other country put up with them. Useless bunch of morons IMO.
Maybe someone in the Justice department wants to make sure the drug traffic is not slowed? The cartels have so corrupted the Mexican Government - they are bound to be trying the same thing here. Food for thought.
