Iowa Congressman Steve King Responds to DHS telling Sheriff Joe Arpaio to Quit doing Their Job

The Department of Homeland Security has been up in arms over Sheriff Joe Arpaio and the excellent job he has been doing in helping to curb the influx of illegal immigrants coming across our border with Mexico. The Sheriff has been well known for his tough stances on crime and illegal immigration and his unique ways of handling convicts in his prisons.
Most US Citizens believe it to be the job of the Department of Homeland Security to protect our borders and yet by all appearances it would be quite safe to say that this is a job that they have failed at for many years. So why is it that they have been aggressively attacking Joe Arpaio for his great work in doing their jobs for them? The answer to this question lies in the hands of politicians who choose to cater to special interests of illegal immigration groups and their organizations as is made evident in the decision by the Department of Homeland Security to revoke the Sheriff’s authority to enforce illegal immigration laws while on patrol.
The “Sheriff vows to continue enforcing state/federal immigration laws” in his new release,
“The Washington D.C. based Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has officially advised Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio that it intends to strip deputies of their ICE agent status.
“Currently Arpaio has 100 deputies who have successfully enforced immigration laws since 2007, the year the Sheriff signed the controversial 287G immigration contract with the federal government.
“Arpaio says the federal government’s move against him is strictly political.
“Arpaio’s Washington D.C. based attorney stated that the decision to curtail the Sheriff’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent status emanates from as high as the White House. Driscoll also says that the White House wants to eventually dissolve the 287G agreement completely with all local law enforcement agencies now assisting the federal government in the fight against the growing problem of illegal immigration into the U.S.”
Sheriff Arpaio has earned the name as “America’s Toughest Sheriff” through the many techniques he uses to try to control crime rates in his County. One such way
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio
has been to have convicts sleep in tents instead of a comfortable jail cell with many of the amenities you might find at home just like the ones found in most of the county, state, and federal prisons of today.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has been fighting the Sheriff’s, tough on criminals, law enforcement tactics for many years and continue to do so as seen in a press release they have issued demanding that Arpaio be stripped of all of his 287(g) authority, including that in the jails.
Congressman Steve King responded to the news the that the Department of Homeland Security has stripped Maricopa County’s Sheriff Joe Arpaio of his authority to take his front line stance against illegal immigration in America.
“The Department of Homeland Security is now telling law enforcement officials to ignore our laws so this Administration’s political agenda can be achieved. Disregarding immigration law enforcement will result in more drunk drivers, more murders and move violent crimes. The Department of Homeland Security and the Administration will be directly responsible for this increase in criminal activity.
“ACORN, the ACLU and La Raza have protested Sheriff Joe Arpaio and have attempted to keep him from doing his job. This decision shows that this Administration is willing to prevent a sheriff from enforcing the law in order to capitulate to these radical special interest groups. The ‘open borders’ Obama Administration continues to posture itself in favor of amnesty over the Rule of Law. President Obama should overturn this decision and allow Sheriff Joe to continue to do his job.”
Rep. Steve King has been known to take his own strong stances in his attempts to stop illegal immigration, while meeting heavy opposition for doing so.
Editor’s Note: Once again, I’d like to thank the Congressman for speaking out on these tough issues when so many lawmakers refuse to get involved for fear of political retaliation. It is because of leaders like Steve King, that we still see a glimmer of hope that someone does have our backs in DC. I’d also like to take this chance to thank Sheriff Joe Arpaio for doing what’s right as he takes a strong stance against illegal immigration and for supporting federal immigration laws.

Working on the 10 year thing. I am personally putting everything I have into stopping their movement, including the Politically Correct police as this latest article really shows that this is what it is really about.

This Sheriff doesn't pander for campaign contributions from the business communities, globalists or Internationalists? So because he doesn't comply with their demands, as they do, they desire him out of office? He is an ongoing danger and worst nightmare to the corporate agenda for illegal discount workers. Now he has a free hand to arrest and not no longer restrained by 287 G federal law, but can use the powers of state laws detain illegal aliens and the criminal elements amongst them. We need more Joe's tent cities and his inmate cuisine of bologna sandwiches, since being subjected to this type of incarceration will deter the most ardent inmate? Nationwide we need more inflexible officers of the law, who will not prostrate to the open border lunatics? Not the soft clean hands of manipulated cops who don't make waves, as they are contemplating looking towards an easy road to retirement. SEEING THAT OUR OWN ELECTED GOVERNMENT, REFUSES TO ENFORCE THE 1986 LAWS (IRCA), THERE OATHS TO PROTECT US FROM OUR ENEMIES FOREIGN & DOMESTIC. THEN COURAGEOUS POLICE OFFICERS MUST CARRY OUT DUTIES OF WHICH AMERICAN'S VOTED FOR?
However the corrupt lawmakers around the nation, have not been able to undermine E-Verify? AS YET? YES! Legal Immigration matters? We should announce to the world that newcomers are welcome, if they come through the front door? We only need those immigrants with specialized skills, such as computer engineers, scientists, doctors and those with highly recommended credentials as developed nations? America has a sovereign right who we choose to settle here? What we don't need is pregnant women slipping across our border, for instant citizenship of their child or destitute illegal aliens whose cannot exist without taxpayer welfare, chain family migration? We don't need in these country illegal recipients who need free health care, education when we already ignore our own people who live in poverty? We need to enforce the 1986 immigration reform law (IRCA), not cripple it for the sake of parasite businesses that live of the slavery of millions of foreign national workers. Seeing that the business world are screaming for more Guest Workers, they should take on the responsibility of paying for their health care and education, instead of dropping sick illegal labor of at the emergency room. to, leave the hospital bill for taxpayers. Instead of expecting the American people to pay for the enormous burden, they should pay separate expenditures for every illegal foreign national and their families.
We need to execute now, a complete war immigration chest containing mandated E-Verify for every worker–NOT REPRESSED–, or 287 G, local police arrest of foreign workers, the Rep.Duncan Hunter original national fence, instead of chopping it down to single line. We need enforcement of our laws, with harsh penalties for violating them. We need politicians we can trust, instead of those elected such as Sen.Reid, Speaker Pelosi, Feinstein and a whole list, who can be graded as Anti-American worker, anti-sovereignty, pro-illegal immigration and compromiser's of the Rule of Law.
