Just when you think that the Obama administration cannot go any lower, they find a way to go lower. On the way to work today, Mike Siegel from KFYI reported that Janet Napolitano, Head of Homeland Security, is looking for a way to indict Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, AZ. She wants to indict him for enforcing the laws of the State of Arizona on illegal immigration.

I have heard of indicting people for not enforcing the law. I have heard of indicting people for breaking the law. But, I have never heard of indicting people for enforcing the law. If Sheriff Joe Arpaio was making up laws and arresting illegal aliens, then he would be breaking the law and worthy of indicting. But, Sheriff Joe is obeying the law and requiring that those that enter the country obey the law as well. Janet Napolitano does not like that. She did not like that when she was Governor of Arizona and she likes it even less today.

Janet Napolitano is trying her best to try and stop the ICE agents from enforcing the laws on illegal immigration. She sent a large number of the agents from the southern border where the problem is to the northern border where there is not a problem. Usually when you move large numbers of people around, you do it so they can address a need that is not being met. Janet Napolitano had a need on the southern border for more agents. On the northern border she had more than enough agents to handle the situation. So, instead of transferring some from the north to the south, she does the opposite. As a result, the capability of the agents in the south was reduced, thus enabling more illegal aliens to enter this country.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio has seen that the ICE agents are overworked. He saw that the number of illegal aliens in Maricopa County was growing. He vowed to take action to try and stop this trend. Since he only has authority within the confines of Maricopa County, Arizona, he took the actions that he felt were necessary to stop the invasion. Under President Bush, he was given power to enforce federal laws against coming into this country illegally. After Janet Napolitano took over as Homeland Security Secretary, she took that authority away. She felt that taking this federal power away would stop Sheriff Joe from enforcing the law. Since she withdrew the authority, Sheriff Joe has held a couple of sweeps that pick up illegal aliens and other lawbreakers. The latest sweeps have resulted in well in excess of 100 illegal aliens being arrested.

Janet Napolitano may well have the authority to want to indict Sheriff Joe about the illegal aliens being arrested. But, having the authority to do something and actually doing it are two quite different scenarios. There is no way that Janet Napolitano could get a conviction of Sheriff Joe. If this ever went to trial, Sheriff Joe would be acquitted. Sheriff Joe is the most popular politician in the State of Arizona. No jury in this state would ever vote to convict him of the crime of enforcing the law. Other than partisan Democrats, she could not find an attorney to handle the case. What Sheriff Joe wants more than anything is the opportunity to get some publicity. This case would give him a soap box to pound Janet Napolitano and Homeland Security into dust. As other Democrat politicians in this state have learned, you do not challenge Joe Arpaio to a public fight in the news media. Sheriff Joe wins those fights every time. Janet Napolitano should be a savvy enough politician to know that from the other Democrat politicians that lost those public fights.

My guess is that this is just a ploy to try and get Sheriff Joe to back off from enforcing the law. I think that he now knows that he has the attention of the feds and will pursue this tactic some more. I cannot believe that Janet Napolitano is stupid enough to try and take on Sheriff Joe when he is obviously in the right. If he were even the least bit operating in the gray areas of the law, she might have a chance. But, Sheriff Joe has been very careful about how these latest episodes are handled. As a result, Janet Napolitano is skating on thin ice and Sheriff Joe knows it. This might be fun to watch, but it definitely is something that should make every law abiding American to wonder about the Obama administration.

Attorney General Eric Holder announced yesterday that he would be trying Gitmo detainees in New York. Janet Napolitano announced that she would pursue amnesty for 14 million illegal aliens. Barack Obama wants desperately to sign the Copenhagen documents.

What do those three seemingly unconnected events have in common? They all deal with one of the core issues of Borders, Language and Culture. Specifically in this instance, all three deal with borders, rather than language or culture.

By trying the Gitmo detainees in New York, Attorney General Holder is giving these detainees rights under the Constitution of the United States of America to which they were not entitled. Enemy combatants historically have been tried by a military tribunal and sentenced. In this case, Eric Holder is taking these Enemy Combatants to New York and giving them the right to an American trial. Part of that right is to have a jury of their “peers”. How in the world are these Gitmo detainees going to have a trial where they have a jury of their “peers”? First, they are not citizens so there are no eligible jurors who would qualify as a “peer”. Second, these trials are liable to last for a long time, probably a year or more. That will make getting a good jury next to impossible. No good jury member could take off of work for a year or more to serve on a jury.

This also impacts our borders by causing terrorists to target the site of the trials. Terrorists traditionally target the site of the trials for attacks. Eric Holder is making New York a target of terrorist attacks. New York does not need additional terrorist attacks. Also the media attention from these trials will disrupt the ability to get a “fair” trial. Bringing these terrorists here for trial gives them legitimacy that they never had while they were just terrorists held at Gitmo.

Janet Napolitano wants to legalize 14 million new Democrat voters. That is not how it is going to be sold, but that is the reality of the situation. We have these 14 million people that are currently breaking the law. They entered the country illegally and if they are working, are working illegally. Janet Napolitano thinks that it is acceptable to ignore the law by entering the country illegally. The fact that these people are then working illegally is just a nuisance. If Janet Napolitano had her way, we would not have a Southern Border to the United States of America. Anyone could come and go across the line whenever they felt like it, as long as they were a minority or perceived minority that might become a Democrat voter. If the person wants to transact business across the border legally, then they have to jump through numerous hoops to make it difficult to do. In other words, if the person is friendly to the Democrats they have free access to either side of the border and can vote in American elections. If the person is perceived to be a business person (read Republican), then the government has to make it difficult to work with people across the border.  You have to be “fair”, you understand.

Barack Obama wants to sign the Copenhagen Accord. Right now, he cannot sign it because Congress has not passed the Cap and Tax bill. Once that gets passed, then Obama gets to sign the Copenhagen Accord. What is the Copenhagen Accord? Basically, it is the Kyoto treaty with some teeth built in. It gives a UN government agency the right to come into the United States and overrule the US government. In other words, we would give away our right to determine what goes on within our own borders. That would be the death of the United States or any country that allowed that to happen. No country can survive that allows some “World Government” to come in and overrule what its own people decide. This is why we have to keep Barack Obama far away from a pen when he is anywhere near Copenhagen, Denmark.

We are on the verge of losing our country. We have people leading this country that do not believe in the United States. They want to do away with the borders of this country and establish a “World Government”. That would be a disaster for people in the United States. If we start down that path, we need to take whatever methods necessary to put a stop to that. I am not sure what that entails at this time, but I have a feeling that it will not be good. Let’s just put a stop to it before we ever start down the path and we never have to find out what those methods ever were.

On the way to work, I listened to Mike Segal on KFYI. He was talking about the fact that 384 Border Control Agents have been removed from the Southern border with Mexico and sent to the Northern border with Canada. There is also a report that indicates that there are 1300 miles of our Southern border that are not secured at this time.

If we have that many miles of unsecured borders on the south we do not need to remove agents. The biggest problem with illegal immigration is on our Southern border. It does occur along our Northern border, but in far smaller quantities. Since the biggest problem is in the south, it would be logical to have the staff in the south get more people than the north. There probably are still more border control agents on the southern border than the north, but that is not the point. Weakening our ability to stop people from coming across our southern border should be the first priority of the Border Control and the Department of Homeland Security. Since Barack Obama and Janet Napolitano are removing agents from our southern border, they obviously do not think that it is a high priority problem.

Whenever it comes time to identify whether someone is legal or not, Democrats always do not want their legality checked. In voting situations, Republicans continually call for voters to show identification before they vote. Democrats always put out some lame excuse that the Republicans anticipated and solved. In any case, photo id at voting is not done. Why is it not done? Who would benefit if an illegal alien voted? If you are in the least amount honest, you would have to say that the Democrat would be the one to get the vote of an illegal alien. In the Obamacare bill, the Republicans put forward a bill that would require identification before receiving Obamacare. The Democrats defeated that measure. Why? Because they intend for the illegal aliens to get Obamacare, either by making them citizens or just allowing it without checking.

The Department of Homeland Security put out a memo that basically said that illegal aliens should not be arrested until they commit a crime. I may be mistaken, but isn’t crossing the border illegally a crime? As a result, cities like Phoenix are seeing an increase in crime. The crime they are seeing is the type that is common down in Mexico. That is kidnappings. On KFYI, Mike Segal went through a couple of cases in the past week here in the Phoenix area. One of the cases involved a pregnant woman. She is still in the hospital. The arrests happened on Thursday. One of the kidnappings Mike Segal outlined was at 9:30 n the morning, in a parking lot. That is pretty brazen, to commit a crime like that in broad daylight.

The Obama administration seems to be telling us along the Southern border of the United States that the border is unimportant. If people can cross without permission, what is the purpose of the border? In order to keep our country, we have to maintain our borders. This administration is not maintaining our borders. This administration is weakening our borders to allow more illegal aliens to come into this country. It must feel terrible to be a Border Control Agent right now. You would know that the Federal Government does not support what you do. My guess is that there will be a number of Border Control Agents that will bail on the department and work for Sheriff’s Offices, Police Departments and Highway Patrols in the states they are working in right now. That would mean a loss of highly trained and experienced personnel. That is never a good thing.

The memo that came out from the Department of Homeland Security this week still troubles me. The thought that those who were considered patriotic Americans for over 200 years are now thought to be potential subversives is disturbing. How could we get this way so fast? Just a couple of months ago, patriotic Americans were celebrated. Now, they are looked at as potential terrorists. There is something wrong with that picture. What happened in the intervening time to cause that to happen? Two things happened since January to cause these events to happen; the swearing in of Barack Hussein Obama and the selection of Janet Napolitano as the head of the Department of Homeland Security.

When Janet Napolitano was selected as the head of Homeland Security, I did not think that she was the right person for the job. I was more concerned about her lack of concern for the borders and said so at the time. She was at best a poor Governor of Arizona. She did almost everything wrong and in a ham handed way. That is the way she has been handling the Department of Homeland Security.

Way back in the dark ages when I was in college, there was a book called the Peter Principle. The Peter Principle said that people rise to their level of incompetence. It was talking about their rise in the business world, but it also applies to politics. The difference is that in politics, you can fool the public into voting for you, even if you are incompetent. Just look at Maxine Waters, she has to be the least intelligent person in the Congress. She gets re-elected from her district with wide margins. The same can be said for Barbara Boxer. She has to be the least intelligent person in the Senate. Yet, she gets re-elected in California. Both have exceeded their Peter Principle level of incompetence by a wide margin.

Janet Napolitano did ok as an Attorney General. She handled the cases fairly and generally there were few complaints. When she became Governor, she was obviously in over her head. She was able to fool the public into voting for her for a second term. Then, she managed to back Barack Obama in the beginning, so she was picked for Homeland Security. In Homeland Security, she has no clue how to run the department with any degree of efficiency. This report that defames veterans and other patriotic Americans is a result of her incompetence.

Janet Napolitano came out to answer questions about the report yesterday. She made motions toward making amends about the report, but her only example of a returning veteran was Timothy McVeigh. I am sorry, that is not an apology. She basically said that she agreed with the report and everyone could stick it in their ear. Now she used nice sounding words that will fool the main stream press, but the meaning was unmistakable.

The people responsible for this despicable report, especially Janet Napolitano, should be fired, immediately. Unfortunately, their boss is Barack Obama and he most likely, at the very least, is sympathetic with the thrust of the report. Janet Napolitano will not be fired by Barack Obama unless there is massive public outcry for her to be fired. The good thing about this report is that it opened some people’s eyes. They were fooled by Barack Obama and were still trying to give him a chance. When the report came out and they found out that they were being targeted as possible terrorists, they had the last straw. Now, they will never vote for another Democrat again. That is a good thing. We need to rid ourselves of this Democrat scourge as soon as possible. I just hope we are not too late in riding ourselves of this problem.
