Say, isn’t the primary mission of the Department of Homeland Security to, er, secure the homeland? Someone needs to remind Janet Napolitano of that mission, which includes enforcing immigration laws, after her agency decertified Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his deputies for acting as ICE agents in that specific mission. Arpaio’s sin? He apparently had too much enthusiasm for the job.

De- certifying Sheriff Arpaio and his Department is within the options of DHS and Secretaty Napolitano. Is it a wise action? Probably not. Was pressure brought to bear by "immigrant rights" groups? We can pretty well bet the farm on that one. The DHS actions are probably a pretty good indication of this Adminstration's determination NOT to properly enforce existing immigration laws. The previous Adminstration was equally determined to not enforce them either. Just my .02

I'd be proud to work for a guy with balls as big as that guy has. He backs up his management team as well. When they were getting some bad press over some perceived racial profiling, a LT went public and point blank told the mayor of PHX to "Shut up" because he had no idea what he was talking about. All the LT's squad stood behind him, on camera, in support. It's on You Tube if you want to see it."Get busy dying or get busy living".....Andy Dufrain, Shawshank Redemption

LINKS SUCK, they die.
Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio says he will continue his controversial "crime suppression operations" despite a Department of Homeland Security decision to strip him of authority to arrest suspected illegal immigrants based solely on their immigration status, the East Valley Tribune reports.
“It’s all politics,†says Arpaio, sheriff of Maricopa County.
Arpaio will still have the power to check the immigration status of people booked by his officers, but not the authority to conduct street patrols looking for illegal immigrants.
His “crime suppression operations†are saturation patrols in designated areas where deputies would find illegal immigrants by stopping them for traffic infractions and minor violations, the paper says.
The Department of Justice and other federal agencies are investigating the sheriff’s office on accusations of racial profiling during the operations, the paper says.
Arpaio said he will be able to still conduct the crime sweeps under state human smuggling laws and an obscure federal law that allows local police to arrest illegal immigrants.
A spokesman for the Phoenix office of ICE declined to comment until after pending agreements with the country are signed.

Yes...we can't have the Sheriff deporting future Democrat voters. We just don't home grow democrats in this country like we used to..they have to be imported. Having a break in their illegal US residency may jepardise their coming gift of citizenship and voter card.The liberal politician has the only job where they go to the office to work for everyone but those who pay their salary.
