This story goes on to say that 17% of those detained as illegals in Arizona already have criminal records in the United States. Many of them are bad people.

(CNSNews.com) – 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....
Our own government has become our enemy and is taking us to court at a time when we need help,” Babeu said.

While most of us already know this, the interesting part here is that people are coming out and saying it. If it walks like an enemy and quacks like an enemy, then it IS an enemy. The executive branch of the federal government is failing its constitutional duty to "provide for the common defense". And by siding with the ACLU is actually working AGAINST protecting Americans from foreign invasion and predation by foreign criminals.
