Dems Go After Sheriff Joe

America's toughest sheriff is taking fire from America's wimpiest politicians:

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has launched an investigation of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office in Arizona following requests by congressional Democrats and allegations by liberal activists that the department has violated the civil rights of illegal aliens.

Reps. John Conyers (D-Mich.), Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), and Robert Scott (D-Va.) requested the investigation, and activists groups such as National Day Laborer Organizer Network and ACORN launched petition drives and rallies in support of the probe.

Therein lies the problem - the notion that illegal aliens have civil rights. Until we fix that, this country can never call itself a sovereign nation.
