Follow the money. If you pore over Napolitano’s last campaign finance reports, you will find a significant amount of money from illegal immigrant sympathizers, and probably even fundraisers thrown by them. No doubt the powerful illegal immigrant lobby pulled some strings to get Napolitano the DHS nomination – notice she was Obama’s first choice and early on. Now, it’s payback time. She’s said publicly since taking office as Homeland Secretary that she’s suspicious of Sheriff Arpaio violating civil rights. Working with the pro-illegal immigrant groups, she has put pressure on the Department of Justice to launch an investigation.

All for what? The politically correct charge of racial profiling. What a waste of tax dollars. It’s not possible to extricate the fact that illegal immigrants are mostly brown-skinned Hispanics from Mexico and Central America. But since illegal immigrants are responsible for a significant amount of crime, in order to reduce crime rates, it makes sense to reduce their numbers. What is the Sheriff supposed to do, just ignore illegal immigrants in order to avoid racial profiling charges? Give them extra special treatment above Americans?

The Sheriff also goes on raids of “deadbeat dads” every Mother’s Day. Some of us disagree with those kinds of raids, but do we ask for DOJ investigations into them? Of course not. The solution is to vote him out of office if you don’t like his methods. This is not going to happen, because he’s the most popular Sheriff in America, and the vast majority of his methods are immensely successful. Some want to make his office a non-elected position, appointed by county supervisors, because they know he’s wildly popular with the people and they can never defeat him at the ballot box – they want to defeat the will of the people. This is also a stupid idea because who says the appointment process will produce anyone better – instead of being accountable to the people, the Sheriff will be accountable – and under the influence of – the supervisors who appointed him.

When you have corrupt groups like ACORN protesting outside of Arpaio’s office – probably using paid protesters thanks to the millions ACORN received from the stimulus bill – you know the accusations are sketchy. Long before ACORN’s crimes went public nationally, it already had a reputation as the most corrupt voting registration organization in Arizona.

We’re in for a scary era under President Obama. Expect to see expensive, lengthy investigations for racial profiling that ultimately go nowhere pop up all around the country as liberal political correctness runs unchecked with the Democrats in control of the Executive and Congressional branches. We predict this “investigation” of Arpaio will drag out until the next administration, when it will be quietly dismissed.

Sheriff Arpaio “endorsed” Napolitano in a close race for governor a few years ago, running a political ad praising her a few days before the election. Interesting how Napolitano treats her friends.
