Obama’s Illegal Immigration Policy Pits Border Agents & Sheriffs Against the Feds
As Barack Obama’s and Eric Holder’s Department of Justice continue its vendetta against states that want to enforce their borders, a dangerous situation is being created where, due to the federal government’s treasonous agenda, sheriffs and local police officers are unable to serve and protect their communities.
During a July 5 interview, small business owner, political consultant and former congressional candidate Steve Beren told this writer: “The instinct of policemen and Border Patrol agents is to stop crime and enforce laws. It’s their entire livelihood and career. It contradicts the purpose of law enforcement if you allow serious crimes to exist as Barack Obama is doing with illegal immigration. These crimes then lead to other crimes.”
Beren expanded on these thoughts. “If the feds won’t intervene on the side of American lawmen and instead support foreign criminals, it’s an encouragement to other illegals,” he said. “Over time, this deteriorates the spirit of our law enforcement personnel. Many in this profession feel disgust and anger toward the president beyond what average citizens believe.”
With this subject in mind, Beren provided another insight: “If Obama thinks there should be a change to the law, he should propose it to Congress. There already is a path to legal citizenship. But the DREAM Act is poor legislation, which is why Congress never passed it. Rather than persuading the people first and convincing them of the law’s merits, Obama crammed it down our throats via executive order and threats made toward the courts.”
An example of how Obama’s policies are heightening conflicts occurred last year when a Washington State Forest Service agent detained a man and woman who were illegal aliens. Since they couldn’t adequately speak English, the agent requested a translator. As he did so, the man fled, leaped into a stream and drowned. However, one of Obama’s cronies— Department of Agriculture Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Joe Leonard—decided that the forest agent violated the woman’s civil rights because calling a translator was “humiliating to Hispanics.”
The question remains: Why is Obama punishing states by rewarding criminals? Or, as Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said, “The administration should be working with states, not against them, to enforce our immigration laws.”
Globalist and cultural Marxist George Soros has funneled millions into ads that denigrate men like Maricopa Counyt, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio. In an April 22 article, actor Chuck Norris wrote, “…the mainstream media, or MSM, are working double time with the federal government to make sure when you think of sheriffs, the picture painted in your mind is one of runaway renegades – badged outlaws on the loose.”
Norris didn’t hide his anger. “It is pathetic that President Barack Obama, as well as the entire left-wing progressive establishment, is in a multi-million dollar smear campaign to discredit and take down Sheriff Joe . . . because he won’t turn a blind eye to tens of thousands of illegal aliens flooding into America,” wrote Norris.
As it stands, Obama displays an undeniable antagonism toward U.S.
On the bright side, some still believe the citizens of this country will refuse to roll over and play dead.
“The American people haven’t reached the point yet where we’re willing to give up the Republic,” said Beren. “There is a revolt going on.”

ReplyDeleteThe headline of this article is exactly right: "Obama’s Illegal Immigration Policy Pits Border Agents & Sheriffs Against the Feds," and I appreciated the opportunity to be interviewed.
ReplyDeleteHowever, some of the quotes attributed to me are not exactly word-for-word what I said, and some of the word usage and style is not my own. That's why I posted the above comment - to give a little better and more accurate statement of my views. (see also www.steveberen.com)
“The instinct of policemen and Border Patrol agents is to stop crime and enforce laws. It’s their entire livelihood and career. It contradicts the purpose of law enforcement if you allow illegal immigration. Illegal immigration is a crime, and the breakdown of law enforcment encourages and leads to other crimes.

“The American people will not give up our liberty, and will not give up our republican form of government. There is a political revolt going on - reflected in the Tea Party movement and in the 2010 elections - and it will be successful."
