Maricopa County Assessor Paul Petersen, who is accused of running a human smuggling operation that paid pregnant women from the Marshall Islands to give up their babies in the U.S., has resigned from his position...
Thousands of files related to his adoption business were discovered on his government laptop, cementing the board's push to remove him. Content recovered on the laptop included text messages of pregnant women being threatened when they changed their minds about giving up their newborns.
Prosecutors say for several years, Petersen was paying women to come to the United States to give birth and give their babies up for adoption. He is also accused of using taxpayer money to help pay for their healthcare.
As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), Petersen completed a proselytizing mission in the Marshall Islands, a collection of atolls and islands in the eastern Pacific. Citizens of the Marshall Islands have been prohibited from traveling to the U.S. for adoption purposes since 2003.

It’s starting to look to me like Mormons are big enablers of the illegal alien invasion. Mike Lee, Orrin Hatch, this guy.
Human smugglers should be shot.
Those Mormons sure do get around.
Is Evil Mike Lee involved here too .
it seems that the Mormons go after these poor nations and recruit so they can add diversity to their community.....they definitely recruit to get bigger, stronger people into their mix..look at their “Mormon” athletes from the Pacific Islands....its not coincidence...
Mormons worship money and sex.
Mormon Mafia working for Romney, Flake and Reid.
I bet he has worked for McCain or Flake in the past.
The economy of Utah is based on population growth. Babies, legal immigration, illegal immigration, converts, you name it. Been going on for decades. The good ol boys club is made up of church leaders, real estate developers and utilities.
Good thing Obama got rid of Sheriff Arpiao, wouldn’t want him arresting any county officials now would we.
