Arizona Sheriff: ‘Our Own Government Has Become Our Enemy’

Democrats and the Obama regime are playing politics with the border.

Instead of securing the boundary between the United States and Mexico, they’d rather file papers with the courts against the state of Arizona for wanting to defend itself against the flood of illegals.

Instead of treating illegal like the criminals that they are, the Dems and Obama see them as a potential voting block to help keep them in power.

But, this November comes the day of reckoning!

Pinal County (Ariz.) Sheriff Paul Babeu is hopping mad at the federal government.


Babeu told CNSNews.com that rather than help law enforcement in Arizona stop the hundreds of thousands of people who come into the United States illegally, the federal government is targeting the state and its law enforcement personnel.


“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,” Babeu said.

The sheriff was referring to the law suits filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and the U.S. Department of Justice challenging the state’s new immigration law.


“So who has partnered with the ACLU?” Babeu said in a telephone interview with CNSNews.com. “It’s the president and (Attorney General) Eric Holder himself. And that’s simply outrageous.”


Last week, U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton placed a temporary injunction on portions of the bill that allowed law enforcement personnel during the course of a criminal investigation who have probable cause to think an individual is in the country illegally to check immigration status. The state of Arizona filed an appeal on Thursday with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
