DOJ: "America's Toughest Sheriff" Violated Civil Rights
Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio, who gave Gov. Rick Perry his coveted GOP presidential endorsement last month, allegedly engaged in discriminatory law enforcement practices and racial profiling of Latinos, according to a report released today by the U.S. Department of Justice.
In the 22-page report, the department’s Civil Rights Division alleges that Arpaio — known by the moniker "America's Toughest Sheriff" for his efforts to crack down on illegal immigration — and the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office created an enforcement program that treated all Latinos as if they were undocumented, which the report says may have affected the office ...

RUH-ROH! Time for the Perry campaign to distance themselves. Maybe. Not like anyone didn't see this coming. Joe Arpaio's been out of control for years now.

Can we call Joe an illegal now? He did break the laws of the land.

Well, how else is "America's Most Bigoted Sheriff" picking out people on the street, without prior cause to stop any particular person, and without a visible sign of a crime being committed, just to "check their papers?" By their looks alone, of course.
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) is another famous bigot who tried to justify stopping all brown-skinned people just to check papers: "You can always tell an illegal by the shoes they wear."

Eric Holder and The US Dept. Of Justice will do any thing to promote illegal immigration, the Democrats want to pass legislation to allow illegal alien to vote in our elections.
The truth is that ( LA RAZA, MALDEF, MECHA, LULAC, THE HISPANIC CAUCUS, THE TEXAS HISPANIC CAUCUS, THE NATIONAL HISPANIC LEARDERSHIP, AND THE PROMOTERS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION), will used any thing to gain political power, that is why we need to stand together and demand the eradication of voting fraud in every state in the union. Democrats are the promoters of electoral fraud, through voting registration and open voting systems that do not require proper identification of citizenship. Our Constitution and our voting rights laws are violate by the corrupt US Dept. of justice that support this rampant violation of our electoral system. " Voting is not a privilege; it is a fundamental right guaranteed by more constitutional amendments than any other right we have. But the US DEPT. Of Justice play politics and violated our U.S. Constitution."
Fellow Tea Party Member if we want changes on this corrupt system of Government we must expose the traitors and demand their removal from office or vote them out of office. If our voices are voided then we must eliminate the corrupt by force. Obama, Eric Holder and Janet napolitano are nothing more that traitors and they need to be remove from office.
In this United States the good people is being target for being patriotic and doing their job; this corrupt government do not have a shame.

Wait -- isn't this the same Justice Department that is responsible for Fast and Furious? The same Justice Department that has brought no one on Wall Street to justice? The same Department of Justice that is headed by Eric Holder?
The USDOJ has no credibility.

There is only one cure for the corruption in Washington and that is joining the TEA PARTY. Thousands of fraudulent programs will be exposed and billions of dollars will be saved. This confronts the rot that has entered the Democratic and the Republican parties, and the astronomical deficit that America is suffering from. Read some undisclosed evidence at Judicial Watch, a legal non-profit, and the opposite to the Communist backed ACLU; a panderer to the illegal alien invaders. In addition, NumbersUSA gives you in depth analysis of costs to taxpayers and insider news from Congress. Lastly, the controversial website of “American Patrol” gives you one-click Bridging editions to the nationwide media, where the truth prevails.
Newt Gingrich, Presidential candidate has been found to be weak on illegal immigration. On NumbersUSA website he has a grade of (D-). Former speaker Gingrich is not a true TEA PARTY Leader. While his counterpart Mitt Romney has already opened the Pandora's Box on at his the National Hispanic Assembly conference, Romney said without mentioning Gingrich name, that finally, we must stop providing the incentives that encourage illegal immigration. As governor, I vetoed legislation that would have provided in-state tuition rates to illegal immigrants. Romney also emphasis of by completing the construction of a high-tech fence," Perhaps he has analyzed the weakness of the current single layer fence and not the double layer fence designed by Rep. Duncan Hunter in the President George Bush era. This was a corridor of information to inform the audience, that such things as tuition for illegal aliens, is against federal law and bypasses U.S. citizens who should always come first. This is similar situation when Mayors and other elected official say they are going to suppress assisting ICE, with the removal of every illegal alien under such laws as ‘Secure Communities’ or State recognized ‘E-Verify.’
The flood of illegal workers almost certainly constitutes an invasion. The TEA PARTY will table any form of Amnesty or Immigration Reform and will apply the statutes in the 1986 Simpson/Mazzoli with strict enforcement according to the bill. Any Sanctuary City or State ordinances designed to cater to illegal aliens, will lose federal funding and expect ICE sweeps in the future. E-Verify and "Secure Communities" will no longer be a voluntary measure, but applied as a mandate to every state. The TEA PARTY will amend the 14th Amendment, so 300.000 children of illegal aliens annually can no longer obtain a foothold in America, to ransack the people's welfare programs and public assistance.
1. Remember illegal aliens do vote in federal elections, and we all need to contact our politicians, to either issue an official to scrutinize voter rolls, or specifically absentee ballots.
2. ISSUE a mandatory federal ID card, for all Americans, for voting at a minimal fee for the low income. This will end the fraudulent exposure of groups as Acorn and multiple registrations from the same people.
3. Make illegal entry into the United States, punishable as a felony, not a civil offense.
4. Build the real 2006 Double border Fence.
5. The TEA PARTY will not tolerate illegal immigration or any form of amnesty, including Sanctuary cities, dream acts or covert enactments by disguising Immigration Reform.
6. The TEA PARTY will support Arizona, Alabama, Georgia and other states against any retribution by the Democratic or Republican establishment.
7. Stand with Arizona (the original voice of commonsense to halt illegal alien invaders; hold firm with Sheriff Joe Arpaio a strong advocate against the US government to control unfettered illegal immigration and the $113 Billion dollar cost of unfunded mandates for states.) Stan with Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Utah, and Indiana of the bludgeoning attacks by the Department of IN-Justice to curtail their policing laws, which have been enacted to stop the hemorrhaging of state treasuries in support of 20 million illegal aliens settled countrywide.
There is nothing wrong with Lama Smiths E-Verify “the Legal Workforce Act." At the very least, it is a step in the right direction. Even if E-Verify has some flaws and some illegal aliens are able to obtain employment, it won't last very long. Those hired illegally will be caught eventually when the irregularities are corrected with the electronic verification program. It's better to have something as a deterrent, than to have nothing at all. E-Verify and to some extent ‘Secure Communities’ is an official order to fingerprint of all individuals who pass through booking halls of police precincts. This is all we have at this present time, to slow and finally end the hiring of illegal workers. E-Verify will place the burden firmly on every United States business, to check every new hire or be sanctioned, fined or even be imprisoned.
Of course the usual radical voices are raised, as critics opposing this Historical Immigration Bill, H.R. 2885 are searching for any loophole to drag it down. They are using what inflammatory rhetoric or lies they can muster against the passage of E-Verify “the Legal Workforce Act." First they contest it that legal American workers could be turned away in being hired. So that person just addresses their grievances by going to their local Social security office; illegal aliens will stay well clear of this agency. None of the media will inform their readership of this? Learn more information at NumbersUSA. Other websites that will deliver the facts about the criminal element, with wide ranging access to the E-media is American Patrol. We can all stand with our fellow jobless countryman by Calling House and Senate Leadership NOW Call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121.
Join a local TEA PARTY is end illegal immigration, the ruthless spread of the Liberal ‘Political Correctness’ agenda; restrict the giant growth of central government and return the power to sovereign states; dispatch the antiquated tax code for a flat tax, and equal for all, with no special privileges for the wealthy or giant corporations; listen to Donald Trump and tax goods from China, as they are taxing our products.

Congress could vote to change the Internet forever shortly
Tomorrow the House Judiciary Committee is going to vote on H.R.3261, the Stop Online Privacy Act, or SOPA for short. As I have previously outlined, this legislation would destroy the internet as we know it and severely impinge on free speech and the spread of information. -- If this passes committee, which all indications say it likely will, it could be voted on by the whole of the House of Representatives.

Not a surprise that birds of a feather fly together?
Perry who in his book calls for elimination of the commerce clause would see blacks return to the back of the bus.
What I see is last vestiges of the "soldiers of grey" who are still angry the Union won the war.
Well I say, the Union won the war. So get over it. We are on to you however and will resist the 'new confederate' movements whenever they emerge. Think Whack-a-mole.

Would one expect anything less from the Obama DOJ? It sure seems that our DOJ is consistently on the wrong side of the law. "Fast and Furious" appears to be DOJs MF Global scenarios...the CEOs cannot seem to recall anything and surely they cannot be blamed.

I do not think Holder and crooks do not carry much water anymore. Joe has been do his job along time and will bend to Obama and crew because Obama wants to use the illegal aliens for there votes were they can cheat to count them. I wish we had hundred more just like Joe maybe we would not as many illegal aliens here now. But rest a sure folks we will force them to leave soon enough cut all jobs and welfare and they will leave. A lot of folks will have to start paying a fair days pay for a fair days work to Americans citizens. I know some will cry like the democrats will loose a lot when they leave but they democrats can still count the dead until they get caught. The democrats are cry already about voters ID trying to use the crook holder to scare states into dropping the laws.
Remember a vote for a democrat is a vote for Obama and illegal aliens , homosexuals and terrorist.

Do America a favor call for impeachment of Holder and Obama
Remember a vote for a democrat is a vote for Obama and illegal aliens , homosexuals and terrorist.

Who would have guessed the most successful Sheriff in the country as far as enforcing the law against illegal immigration would be targeted by the just us dept. It took three years to do this. Most of the so called evidence relates to statements made by those arrested . How many people arrested by the sheriffs dept would give them a glowing recommendation? Pretty well known every person arrested without exception is innocent , according to them.
What this story does not say is that since 2008 , 150,000 people were caught up and arrested in sweeps , 57% of them were Illegal. One would have to assume a large % of the other 43% were wanted on outstanding warrants or suspects in other crimes. Hardly ineffective or a waste of time. 85,500 Illegals caught in three years by one Sheriffs Dept !!! Pretty impressive .
Just because he did not waste tax payers money targeting rich white folks living in upscale neighborhoods , and actually knows where to find Illegal Aliens. If a crime was committed and the general description was of a Hispanic , Black , Asian, or White person you would profile those people when trying to find them. You would not stop and question every single person you came across. Would this be a violation?
When hunting deer you generally go to where they are , and do not waste time going to areas you know you are unlikely to find them. It is just common sense. I know if I go to a location where day laborers hang out I will find quite a few Illegals there.
Consider the actions of the TSA. Many who would condemn Sheriff Arpaio are the same people who rail against the TSA. They strip search 4 year olds and 85 year old White Grandmothers No discrimination there. Could this simply be an action taken in response to promote Political Correctness? Looks like they should continue the practice , maybe step it up a notch or two , just to make sure no claims of discrimination arise.
Police Departments use profiling and demographic information all the time to fight crime. Red light districts are targeted for prostitution, drugs, drunk driving all the time. Not many prostitutes hanging in the parking lot of WalMart. While drugs exist across the spectrum of society , lower income areas and inner city neighborhoods are targets for drug dealing. This would utilize income as a criteria. Same goes for seeking out Illegals. Going to neighborhoods with incomes of $75,000 and up would not be particularly productive looking for illegals. What would you do stop every single little old lady driving down the street? If at some point you saw a truckload of men unload and mow a yard would you question them? If you did would this be profiling , knowing that lots of illegals mow yards for a living?
The logical area to go to would be areas of lower incomes since demographically speaking Illegal Aliens have incomes of $23,000 and less. Would you target people driving Hummers and Lexus wearing suits or pickup trucks and older vehicles with people wearing Levis and T shirts?
Political Correctness and lack of common sense will be the end of us all. Doing something stupid just for the sake of appearance is stupid in itself. Most people agree the practice of strip searching children and senior citizens is pretty dumb. But it seems necessary to preserve the appearance of impartiality and fairness? In order to be " fair" The Sheriff should put some deputies in other areas that will probably not yield many arrests and actually be a waste of taxpayer $ , but at least it will appear correct even if it does nothing at all .
Mike Snyder
There is something seriously wrong with a country that will allow an obnoxious, loudmouth, racist creature such as Arpaio to become a law enforcement officer. With that said, there is something seriously wrong with a presidential wannabe who seeks or accepts an endorsement from such a despicable person. This country is too good for the likes of such people.
Juan Reynoso
The Washington corrupt politicians and the US Dept of justice are a bunch of traitors they have not shame. I Am Latino and I am glad that Sheriff Joe Arpaio do not sell out like the rest of the MF that promote sanctuary to the illegal aliens. He must continue doing his job, many Latinos support Joe. and the American people should be supporting this man that have the cojones to do his job. not like the MF Obama, Eric Holder and the queen Janet Napolitano.
God save our country from this self destruction.
If we love our country we must vote out all the traitors and elect to office people like Joe Arpaio.
Mike Snyder
Juan Reynoso is OFF his medication again and ON a computer writing more bizarre stuff emanating from those little voices in his head that nobody else can hear. Fortunately, the government he so rabidly hates allows whackos to spew all sorts of nonsense because there is free speech in this hallowed land. Were he in Cuba, he's be carted off and never heard from again.
Hey, Juan: I'll give you a one-way ticket with all expenses paid.

The DOJ is engaging in its own discriminitory law enforcement practices and racial profiling when it comes to what laws they are enforcing! They have done nothing against sanctuary cities but go after AZ, AL and other states.
Let's not forget the Executive Branch's "admitted" failure to do its job which is the main reason why our economy is so poor due to massive unemployment, they lose their home because they can't find a job, yet 8 million illegalsare still allowed to work jobs that belong to legal immigrants and citizens! People are still dying at the hands of those illegally here, and the costs that average $2B per state per year is MOSTLY PREVENTABLE, but the Executive Branch still won't do its job and open the 8 million jobs illegals have!
David Spratt
Mikey , I know of many ILLEGALS that do not like ILLEGALS. Go figure? They understand that every ILLEGAL that comes here depletes the jobs available to them. Most Illegals feel this way. They want to gain papers for themselves and have all illegal immigration stopped. If Jaun is really Jaun , he probably has a much better perspective than you do. If he is a Citizen and feels the way he does , he Is an asset to the country and a patriot, no matter where he originated from. It is a myth that most Hispanics who are legal Citizens view this problem in the same way as ignorant White folks trying to be PC or thinking Illegal Immigration has no negative effect on them. Many are conflicted having friends or family caught in the middle , but they are not ignorant to the overall negative impact illegal immigration has on the country overall. There are many Hispanics who call themselves Americans who want the laws enforced just as much as " regular Americans' like yourself want them ignored. Most Americans of Hispanic heritage are law abiding Citizens and respect the rule of law. To bad Many other so called regular Americans do not.

Sheriff Joe is running for another term, and the open borders crowd will stop at nothing to try and bring him down.
“America’s Toughest Sheriff” refuses to quit, refuses to knuckle under or stop doing his job protecting the people of Maricopa County – the 4th most populous county in America – from illegal invaders and criminal aliens.
And Sheriff Joe is also staying on the job for ALL Americans. Because Arpaio's office - a single sheriff's office - apprehends a staggering 25% of all criminal illegal aliens in the entire United States every year. That means Joe doesn’t just keep illegal alien rapists, robbers, gangbangers and identity theives out of Phoenix, Mesa and Scottsdale, AZ – he also keeps criminals from threatening Americans in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida – and cities and towns near you.
In fact, just last week, Arpaio's detectives apprehended 20 illegals being smuggled through Maricopa County - including some wanted on outstanding felony warrants - all 20 of whom were headed to states other than Arizona.
Sheriff Joe is committed to enforcing our immigration laws to protect every citizen.
That's why he was a target for this Administration from day one, and why the DOJ launched an “investigation” against Arpaio just 4 weeks after Obama’s inauguration - when most Federal agencies were barely even staffed. Because Arizona is the gateway for illegal aliens into America. And the open-borders forces don’t want Sheriff Joe to be the gate, stopping the flow of illegal labor – and potential voters for their cause – into this country.
Joe will not quit. He cannot quit. But he needs your help!
National groups backed by George Soros have just vowed to spend more than $10 million to defeat Sheriff Joe. In a recent conference call, members of the ACLU and MoveOn.org said defeating Sheriff Joe was one of their top priorities for 2012 - in order to destroy the most potent national symbol in the fight against illegal immigration. In addition, the President of the National Council of La Raza ("The Race") Janet Murguia recently called Arpaio "America's worst Sheriff", demanded his resignation, and said La Raza would use all its resources to defeat Joe this November, and put untold tens of thousands of illegal alien criminals back on the streets.
We cannot let this happen! Please help Sheriff Joe fight back! Donate Now.
Because he has led the fight in Arizona against illegal immigration, Sheriff Joe Arpaio has become the target of attack by national special interest groups and left-wing politicians who would rather turn a blind eye towards the crisis of illegal immigration. All he is doing is enforcing the laws of his state and our country. These well-funded groups have vowed an unprecedented fight to defeat him for re-election.
What these extremists really want is a Sheriff who will look the other way, be silent and allow the charade to continue, while ignoring the laws of our land. Sheriff Joe will NEVER let that happen.
But Joe desperately needs your help. It's going to take a lot of resources to combat the attacks and false allegations against Joe and his deputies, and win this campaign. Joe cannot compete with the local and national media machines that distort his record and the job he’s doing to protect this country. And, he doesn't have the personal resources to defend himself from these vicious attacks.
Sheriff Joe has to go directly to the people for their support. He needs good people like you in this country to stand behind him and help him fight this fight.
Will you join us? Sheriff Joe desperately needs your help now. His election has been targeted as the frontline in the battle to end illegal immigration. We must win this battle.
Thank you!

Open Letter to Obama.
Mr. President Barack Obama
The White House
Mr. President, illegal immigration cost our country and the American tax payers billions of Dollars, this is an expenses that we can cut by enforcing our immigration laws.
I pray to the Lord every day to give you the wisdom to see, what your ill policies are doing to our country. Your policy that concern me the most is Immigration. As I understand you voided our immigration laws, because you claim that we as Americans can not deport 12 million illegal aliens, the fact that ignoring our laws and letting the millions of illegal aliens trampled our Constitution and the rule of law, because you want to protect the hordes of invaders, that just want a better life, it is not of any concern to you, let me to believe that you are the most stupid or incompetent president; I voted for you and I as American have the responsibility to inform you, that your immigration policies is placing a huge burden to our communities and our country; now we not only have to content with the poor Mexicans that enter our country illegally but the rich Mexicans that over stay their visas enroll their children's in our schools free at our expenses. You Mr. President is forcing us to pay for the education of the rich Mexicans. Your immigration policies allowed them to enter our country and stay here and enroll in our schools free. We are force by your corrupt administration to pay for the cost of educating the Illegal aliens, I paid over $10,000 Dollars in property taxes every year. I am in social security and Bush and you cost me thousands of Dollars because your F$%# foreign intervention and economic policies.
Mr. President, I voted for you because I believe on you BS, But today I will do every thing in my power to throw you out of the White House, you are a disgrace to our country and most important to the people that you deceived with your lies.
American deserve an honest president that stand for our Constitution, our sovereignty, enforce our laws and stand for the American people. I do not believe that these Mexicans that you protect against the will of the American people cast a single vote for you.
Mr. President, these illegal aliens are not willing to be Americans, not willing to abide our laws, not willing to learn our language or be part of our country; they are here for not other reason than to take our jobs and use our system and raid Americans of their monetary resources. Mr. President where is your loyalty, to our country or to Mexico, what Mexico have done for you?; We made you, from being a rookie senator to be our President; do your job and duty, up hold the oath that you took in the name of God and do not continue betraying the American people, we have enough.
