Arizona sheriff: “Our own government has become our enemy”

  When it comes to the issue of illegal immigration, Barack Obama has taken sides. He had the choice of either helping the state of Arizona protect her citizens against the crime wave at the Mexican border created by the flood of illegal aliens and the Mexican drug lords, or he could choose to protect those very same illegal aliens and drug lords.

  He chose the illegal aliens and the Mexican drug lords over the American citizens.

  Is it any wonder then that people like Arizona Governor Jan Brewer are so upset? Barack Obama chose what he considers social justice above criminal justice and because of this Arizona residents are not being protected by the man who swore to protect them. This has set off a firestorm with those that are trying to protect the American people at the border.

  Arizona Sheriff Paul Babeu  lambasted the president for his actions concerning the lawsuit against Arizona’s controversial immigration law.

What’s very troubling is the fact that at a time when we in law enforcement and our state need help from the federal government, instead of sending help they put up billboard-size signs warning our citizens to stay out of the desert in my county because of dangerous drug and human smuggling and weapons and bandits and all these other things and then, behind that, they drag us into court with the ACLU

  But that wasn’t even the most condemning comment that the sheriff said:

Our own government has become our enemy and is taking us to court at a time when we need help

  Arizona  looked to the federal government for help, but in reality all that Arizona was looking for was for the federal government to do its job and enforce immigration laws. Unfortunately the federal government was unwilling to do this and has been unwilling for years, so Arizona took matters into their own hands and decided to enforce federal immigration laws by making what already was a federal crime into a state crime also, and for that the Obama regime stepped in and stopped Arizona.

  Is it any wonder that people in Arizona are so upset? Is it any wonder that some in law enforcement in Arizona now see the federal government as being against them on this issue? These were harsh words, but I find it hard to blame them for feeling this way.

  Now comes word that the Mexican drug lords have put a $1 million bounty on the head of the great Sheriff Joe Arpaio, which in my opinion reaffirms the fact that this man is doing a great job in the face of unending heat from Homeland Security and others in the Obama regime who are supposed to have the best interest of American citizens at heart, but care more about protecting those who have broken the law to get here.

  Barack Obama has another choice to make, and it is a simple choice; is he with Sheriff Joe and will he protect him against the threats he faces, or will he still stand on the side of those that put the bounty on Sheriff Joe’s head?
