Obama to Shut Down Immigration Enforcement Program

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration is starting to shut down a program that deputized local police officers to act as immigration agents.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have trained local officers around the country to act as their agencies' immigration officers. Working either in jails or in the field, the officers can check the immigration status of suspects and place immigration holds on them.

They can control what kind of foods we eat at lunch, but the border is just an unsolvable problem.

Welcome to Obamaland. :)

Immigration needs to be turned over to the states. Let the states deport directly or to send captured illegals to another state that wants to contract the deportation; i.e. Texas or Arizona.

This whole process could be made cheap and quick. Take any federal money being used on immigration and border protection and give it back to the states based on the number of deportees each state has. Make it a reward system :-)

“Obama is ONLY conducting the treason and the
meticulous dismantling of America that the GOP wants.”

It certainly looks that way. Can anyone here provide (tangible) evidence to the contrary?

Well said.

County sheriffs can trump the feds, and they should, every chance they get.

Here's hoping that Sheriff Arpaio faces them down and sets an example for other sheriffs across the country.

Change. It’s popping out all over.

Theresa May, the Home Secretary, has announced that the agency is being wound up next month precisely because it is useless, and the officials who ran it — rather like the borders they supposedly policed — were out of control.

He is, and will continue to buck the Federal system, regardless of how much they whine and cry about it...

The only problem is they are beating the ever livin’ crap out of him on a daily basis, and he can probably only take so much...

His nieghboring county sheriff just dropped a bombshell (yesterday) on him when he announced he was gay and had to address alligations of him deporting his illegal immigrant loverboy back across the border, for whatever reason...

So that can’t be helpful to Sheriff Arpaio in anyway, shape or form...

The homosexual sheriff was probably a time bomb set in place by his enemies in very high places.

That's how they operate, community thug-organizers.

I pray for him every day, and I'm sure that many other Conservatives do too. He's a tough old bird, and he can take a lot. He knows his power, and he knows he's right.

Let us pray that those facts are enough to see him through this wall of slime that descends on him each day.
