AZ Border Sheriff: ‘I Have About As Much Regard for the U.N. as I Do the Vermin’

im1mjrpain
Sheriff Larry Dever, whose officers patrol Cochise County along the border between Arizona and Mexico, said he finds it “amazing” that the U.S. State Department would refer the recently passed immigration law in his state to the United Nations Human Rights Council for review.

“Well, it’s just amazing to me,” Dever told CNSNews.com. “Course, I have about as much regard for the U.N. as I do the vermin that hides in the rocks around my house here and reaches out and tries to bite me every now and then.”

The Bush administration refused to join the U.N. Human Rights Council, citing lax membership criteria that allowed countries with poor human rights records to sit on the council, including countries such as China, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Russia, Cuba, Pakistan, Tunisia and Egypt.

The Obama administration joined the council, citing its imperfections but made claims that U.S. efforts could change the organization for the better.

Now, the U.S. State Department is asking the council to review possible human rights violations that supposedly could occur under the Arizona’s new law against illegal immigration. The U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) has also filed a lawsuit challenging the Arizona law.

“Where does this end?” Dever told CNSNews.com.

“Why the Department of Justice intervened in this case to begin with was beyond comprehension,” Dever said, referring to the DOJ lawsuit, which claims that the Arizona law violated the federal government’s exclusive right to enforce federal immigration laws.

Dever said the State Department move, however, is in keeping with the Obama administration’s reluctance to enforce federal immigration law and that it is probably seeking support from the United Nations to further its agenda.

“It’s indicative of the personality of the entire administration and what they are trying to get done,” Dever said. “This is just further evidence.”

Dever added that the results of the U.N. review would not have any impact for those with boots on the ground in Arizona who, on a daily basis, fight the flow of illegal immigrants across the porous U.S. border.

“They can take their declarations and their findings and pack them all up and keep them in the United Nations because we really don’t care what they think,” Dever said.

In its report to the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, the State Department, headed by Secretary Hillary Clinton, said the following: “A recent Arizona law, S.B. 1070, has generated significant attention and debate at home and around the world. The issue is being addressed in a court action that argues that the federal government has the authority to set and enforce immigration law. This action is ongoing; parts of the law are currently enjoined.”

    • The UN represents the concept of the New World Order something Obama supports! the UN has no business getting involved in this matter but as Obama has no respect for the values and way of life most of us hold dear, am not surprised that he took this to the UN! This is an issue of states rights VS. The federal government! I firmly believe that state governments have the Constitutional duty to pass laws which protect the citizens when the federal government fails to do so! We need to impeach Obama or our country,and all it stands for will be lost forever!

    • You guys make me laugh at times with your complete over reaction to anything that some right wing nut case writes on a blog or posts on the internet..I can say with all honesty that I actually enjoy witnessing your hysterics over everything that the president does...but what I am enjoying the most is the knowledge that I have at least two more years of watching you act like a bunch of fools...he may or may not get re-elected I have no crystal ball and neither do you, but what I am sure of is this much... the more desperate you become in your accusations and speculations the more entertaining you become, it's like watching a clown car at the circus, the clowns just keep on coming out....

    • Here’s an interesting video clip that demonstrates the lengths to which President Obama will go to pass what is laughingly called “comprehensive immigration reform.”
      Arizona Republican Senator Jon Kyl told a North Tempe Tea Party town hall meeting that during a private tête-à-tête in the Oval Office, President Obama told him, “The problem is…if we secure the border, then you all won’t have any reason to support comprehensive immigration reform.”
      The Tea Party crowd was shocked. You can hear their gasps on the video (at 3:45).
      “In other words,” Senator Kyl said, “they’re holding it hostage. They don’t want to secure the border unless and until it is combined with ‘comprehensive immigration reform.’”
      Bottom line: The illegals are crossing the border. Obama’s crossing the American people.

    • The UN gives a bunch of third world dictators the stage to talk shit to america on a forum that they have never had. The UN is jsut another great liberal idea that went horribly wrong.

    • Good man Sheriff Dever. I find it beyond words that this administration should apologize for the supposed "civil rights violations" in AZ as well as sue to overturn SB1070.. We need more Devers and Less Obama/Holder.

    • Obama says " I'm going to tell the UN on you bad people!" That is treason by the White House and he should be removed from office by force with the military if necessary. He is declairing War.

    • This paragraph appears to be inaccurate:

      "Now, the U.S. State Department is asking the council to review possible human rights violations that supposedly could occur under the Arizona’s new law against illegal immigration. The U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) has also filed a lawsuit challenging the Arizona law."

      Here is what is in the report to the UN:

      A recent Arizona law, S.B. 1070, has generated significant attention and debate at home and around the world. The issue is being addressed in a court action that argues that the federal government has the authority to set and enforce immigration law. That action is ongoing; parts of the law are currently enjoined.

      If I Google this issue, the first 2 pages are links that say:

      "Obama Hauls Arizona Before The UN Human Rights Council"

      I guess the left wing media didn't get the memo on burying this story. I guess none of them actually read the report either.

      If someone can rationally explain how this statement in the report is a "hauling before the UN" as opposed to a legal discussion about immigration policy within our own country, I would love to hear it.

    • This has to be just another political stunt. Nothing will come of it.

      I don't think Obama would actually attempt to submit a Constitutional issue to an extra-constitutional organization for review. Ceding that amount of U.S. sovereignty would be treasonous; the penalty for which is removal from office..

      That it is even considered, never mind suggested, clearly defines Obummer's disregard for our National Sovereignty Laws and contempt for the safety and respect of America's citizens... We need to get rid of this traitor and his minions by whatever legal means possible... and the sooner the better.

      After years of rapid growth, illegal immigration is slowing down in California and across the country, with the state’s share of the nation’s estimated 11.1 million undocumented immigrants dropping to 23% from 42% in 1990, according to a new study released Tuesday.

    • Well it seems to me that similar things are happening in the us to the uk a president that is going to screw the us for shure.
      our priminister is screwing us all in the uk and a big percentage of the people canot see it.
      You have a biger problem as you have lots of big states and like us slowly your rights are dwindelingand your right for speak is being taken away and theres nothink you can do about it, the only way is to all stick together every state and say no we dont want change wich would take a lot of doing
      Were having that problem here in the uk but slowly the english are waking up from there deep sleep" but will be in time before were compleatly sunk forever.
      Obama is trouble for the us citizens, outher presidents were not much good you need a true man for president one that cares about your country one that puts his people first just like us in the uk, a priminister who cares were his country is going i think the last man was winston churchull.

    • This is just unprecedented in my lifetime. Agree with the law or not, to turn your own countrymen over to the UN for judgement. I cannot believe anything like that would ever happen in America. It's stunning. So what if the UN deems it unacceptable, are we going to allow UN inspectors to come in and investigate one of our own states? Are we going to submit to UN security forces in our country policing our borders? (Well, we are the UN security forces, so that's kind of a mute point). That is crazy!

      Obama signed an Executive Order giving Interpol Immunity. ( That's the UN Police )
      December 17, 2009, The White House released an Executive Order "Amending Executive Order 12425." It grants INTERPOL (International Criminal Police Organization) a new level of full diplomatic immunity afforded to foreign embassies and select other "International Organizations" as set forth in the United States International Organizations Immunities Act of 1945.
      By removing language from President Reagan's 1983 Executive Order 12425, this international law enforcement body now operates - now operates - on American soil beyond the reach of our own top law enforcement arm, the FBI, and is immune from Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) requests.
      For Immediate Release December 17, 2009
      Executive Order -- Amending Executive Order 12425
      EXECUTIVE ORDER
      - - - - - - -
      AMENDING EXECUTIVE ORDER 12425 DESIGNATING INTERPOL
      AS A PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION ENTITLED TO
      ENJOY CERTAIN PRIVILEGES, EXEMPTIONS, AND IMMUNITIES
      By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288), and in order to extend the appropriate privileges, exemptions, and immunities to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), it is hereby ordered that Executive Order 12425 of June 16, 1983, as amended, is further amended by deleting from the first sentence the words "except those provided by Section 2©, Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act" and the semicolon that immediately precedes them.

      THE WHITE HOUSE,

    • By suing Arizona for 'enforcing' the nations laws against invasion of 'illegal aliens', Obummer has shown his true character as the lawless POTUS who disdains upholding the sovereign laws of our nation by inviting a rule of law from a 'foreign' entity... He is a traitor to the American people and should be impeached.
