WHY DO LIBERALS FIGHT SHERIFF ARPAIO ON HUMAN TRAFFICKING?

Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s most recent crime suppression sweep nabbed 83 criminals, including 68 illegal aliens believed to be in the United States involved in human smuggling. In the days leading up to the most recent sweep, according MyFOXPhoenix, another 56 illegal aliens in the human smuggling business were also arrested. The total: 124.

With every crime suppression sweep announced by Sheriff Arpaio’s office, the liberals come out of the woodwork to protest, picket, whine and complain. There are placards of Sheriff Joe with Hitler-like moustaches. There are cries of racism. There are rants and raves as vitriolic and silly as anything you’ve ever witnessed in politics. And they never seem to stop.

Does this mean liberals support human trafficking and smuggling? Here’s what ICE has to say about the subject:

“Human smuggling and human trafficking are two of the most heinous crimes that ICE investigates. In its worst manifestation, human trafficking is akin to modern-day slavery. Victims pay to be illegally transported into the United States only to find themselves in the thrall of the traffickers. They are forced into prostitution, involuntary labor and other forms of servitude to repay debts – often entry in the United States. In certain cases, the victims are mere children. They find themselves surrounded by an unfamiliar culture and language without identification documents, fearing for their lives and the lives of their families.”

Let’s not revisit the subject that a Republican president (Lincoln) took the nation to war to end slavery against the Democrat-controlled, pro-slavery South. Or how, until he passed away, a former “kleagle” (recruiter) for the Ku Klux Klan was routinely elected to the Democrat leadership of the United States Senate (despite his use of the “n-word” on national television). This isn’t supposed to be one of those columns.

This article is about how liberal activists and the liberal media are so determined to attack a person (Sheriff Joe Arpaio) that they will find any excuse to vilify any and every action he undertakes.

Suggesting Sheriff Arpaio and his supporters are racist because they want to stop human trafficking into Mexico may be good fodder for desperate liberal activists. But look at it this way: if it were Albanians or Irishmen or a gaggle of deviant Canadians running human smuggling across the Arizona border into Mexico, Sheriff Joe would be just as determined to stop it. That most of the individuals involved are Mexican isn’t surprising: it’s Mexico.

Human trafficking and smuggling is today’s extension of slavery. It isn’t just happening across the Arizona-Mexico border, but in trouble-spots all around the world. The wingnuts who spend their time attacking Sheriff Joe are doing a tremendous disservice to the victims of these crimes because the media often forgets to tell their story.

Slavery ended in America before my family would come to the United States (legally, I’ll add). But as an American, I am ashamed to see the liberal-Left play politics with such a scarring tragedy that should never again be tolerated in this, or any, nation.
