Feds Take Away Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Authority to Capture Illegal Immigrants
East Valley Tribune/The Lid ^ | 10/7/09 | The Lid

Too many people on the liberal side of the fence argue that illegal immigration is a racial issue. People who want to protect the US borders are inspired by racism, trying to keep out Hispanics (this is a different kind of racism than you are accused of if you disagree with the POTUS)

Of course fighting immigration is not a race issue. Illegal immigration is a law and order and anti-terrorism issue. People forget that the Jhadist Hosam Maher Husein Smadi who was arrested the FBI after trying to blow up a building in downtown Dallas was in this country Illegally.

At a time when our southern border is becoming a war zone, and Illegals are trying to commit terror attacks, President Obama's Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security have decided to shtrip Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who in the last three years has handed over 22,616 illegal immigrants to Immigration for deportation, of his authority to capture Illegal Immigrants.

>>>> illegal immigration is a racial issue <<<<

Obviously it has nothing to do with race.

It has everything to do with one’s passport, or lack thereof.

How can they possibly take away something they never gave him in the first place?

Here’s a flagrant example of federal abuse of power, and goes to the heart of our constitution.

Yesterday’s Arizona Republic had an article citing decreases in auto theft in Phoenix. They suggested it was due to better law enforcement. I did not read the article. I assumed that they gave no credit to Joe’s pressure on the illegal immigrant population.

The same day ICE revokes Joe’s ability to have field agents perform arrests based on immigration status.

This morning Joe was on the radio stating that he had other ways to arrest these folks and if ICE wouldn’t take them, then there would be a long ride to the border.

When did congress remove the federal laws that they want him to stop enforcing?

There are three defined races and many subgroupings. While researching subgroupings, I couldn’t find any racial identity for “illegal aliens”. How could being opposed to them be called racism?

Sounds like federal interference in a States Rights issue.
