The Obama administration has run afoul of local law enforcement officials on several issues, including gun control and racial profiling.
Just days after the mass release of a record 6,112 federal inmates, however, sheriffs around the country are making sure their concerns are known. Pinal County, Arizona, lawman Paul Babeau lambasted the executive decision to set the prisoners free on the basis that they pose no safety threat to the public, according to Fox News.

“For them to tell me or tell citizens that they’re going to do a good job and these inmates are non-violent,” he said, “when in many instances drug crimes, drug purchasing, drug trafficking are related to other, violent crimes, I’d be amazed if the 6,000 … being released are non-violent.”
Even assuming the newly free inmates are docile, Babeau pointed out the economic strain such an influx of convicted felons is likely to cause.
“On average,” he noted, “these criminals have been in federal prison for nine years. You don’t have to be a sheriff to realize that a felon after nine years in jail isn’t going to be adding value to the community. A third are illegals and felons, so they can’t work. What do we think they are going to do?”
Other sheriffs agree, including Harold Eavenson of Rockwall County, Texas.
Eavenson cited Obama’s immigration policy as evidence that he cannot be trusted to enforce the law and said if Obama administration officials are “not capable of making honest and prudent decisions in securing our borders, how can we trust them to make the right decisions on the release of prisoners who may return to a life of crime?”
Babeau insisted that supporters of this policy are selling law-abiding citizens a bill of goods.
“There’s no transition here,” he said. “There’s no safety net. This is the biggest sham they are trying to sell the American people.”

good article!
now just get the rest of the US to open there eyes and STAND-UP and say NO to the rest of the BS coming out of the white house!!
Take a look at the You Tube videos showing the chaos and mayhem in Europe with lunatic Angela Merkel destroying her country with the open armed welcome to millions of Muslim refugees who are vowing to take over Europe by sheer numbers. Obama releasing 6,000 criminals is but a small taste of what’s to come!!!
The Politicians and orgs taking these “refugees” are being PAID big Money. That’s happening all over.
She is almost as good a NWO slave as Georgie Bush’s cousin Barry ain’t she. They have their orders- do whatever you have to do to destroy all national sovereignty. Can’t wait to watch the forcibly liberalize and racially integrate Russia and China.
Just the latest calculated action of Obama to destroy America………..
I’m a resident of Arizona and I’ve listened to Paul Babeau speak at several events, and I’ve spoken with him at least a couple of times. He’s a good and decent guy.
I disagree with him on this point. The U.S. has the highest incarceration rate in the world when juvenile detention is included. Second highest if it isn’t. Why so high? Because the U.S. jails people for non-violent crime and victim-less crime more than any other nation in the world. The rest of the world seems to find more creative and constructive solutions to non-violent and victim-less crime.
Babeau mentions monetary cost to communities as a primary objection. He neglects to mention that the cost of incarcerating each prisoner is more than $30,000 per year on average for every prisoner. If released, some of the non-violent or victim-less criminals may cost that or more to the communities where they are released. On the other hand, many will not and will again become productive members of society. I don’t know right now where the balance lies, but it’s worth a try.
Obama is an angry Muslim man who hates Freedom, Christians, White People, and America.
Because Americans, the freedoms of people to work in America and some to EARN more money than others, worship of God the Creator, and the color of the skin of the people who started America and made her great is everything he isn’t.
He never was and never will be.
He’s a fake American, a fake unqualified President of America, and married to a fake woman wife.
“Obama is an angry Muslim man who hates Freedom, Christians, White People, and America.”
Anything to back up your claims? Besides Tea-Bagger websites that recycle unfounded claims?
“Because Americans, the freedoms of people to work in America and some to EARN more money than others, worship of God the Creator, and the color of the skin of the people who started America and made her great is everything he isn’t.”
This overly long, under constructed sentence makes absolutely no sense to people who have an higher education than the 4th grade.
And as it relates to the color of the skin of who founded America, if by founded you mean arriving here and getting every one but themselves to work and build the country, then yes, white people are the founders.
But realistically, African Americans have made southerners rich in the 18th and 19th century, and helped built those fortunes, and part of the economy. Without ever receiving a paycheck.
Then you had all the European immigrants that came at the turn of the 20th century, and built what are today’s biggest cities. And now, you have Latin Americans, who get paid a lower than minimum wage, which helps all the rich a-holes get their lawns mowed and other things done with cheap labor.
In essence, all that “your” people have done, is taken advantage of colored people to build this country.
Oh, and by the way, when i say “your” people, i mean right wing racist idiots with an IQ that borders around their shoe size.
lol so true .
They should put him in jail for talking such stupidity. Most of these peoples have not committed any crimes at all. Only to themselves, a crime is when you violate someone else’s right. The government telling you what you can eat and not eat or what you can take or not take is not why we have governments.
sadly there is no law for stupidity . if that was true there would be a lot more people going to jail .
“Gun control” ? Obama? You would be stretching the truth mighty hard to see even the most rudimentary gun control coming from the Obama administration….name a single thing he has done to curtail, slow or strengthen your rights to keep and bear arms…..name a single instance. This is all hate speech and spin. Not saying Obama would not LIKE to have some sort of response other than bully pulpit regret speechs over guns and american mass shootings…BUT, the mans done NOTHING to institute controls….and to say otherwise is just more bullshyte manipulation.
You are wrong. He’s going about it via back-door means. He got his EPA to shut down the very last lead smelter existing in the US which had been in business for over 120 years. He’s working to get several types of bullets banned.
You mean teflon-coated, hollow-point cop-killers? There are certain things, that the public at large, should not have access to.
saying something is one thing….doing something like ignoring the fed’s and locking up illegals is another. No matter what you do,you will be called a Nazi.In Sweden the most idiotic politically naive liberal retarded country on earth,where they bend over backwards to not be called a racist. They let their country be overwhelmed,….and they are still called Nazis..
Way back in the deay when I had to be on government assistance there was a program called “Job Club.” As welfare recipients we were REQUIRED to go to Job Club and they had a very helpful (and amusing, no less) instructor who helped us learn how to look for jobs we wanted to do, how to interview on video cameras, before the training, and again after, to look for ways to be more successful at it, and how to properly make a resume that would not get thrown in the trash by persective employers. Because of this program, I went on to manage the largest in a chain of 5 successful retail stores. That same instructor came into the store where I worked one day and I got to personally show him the results of Job Club. What happened to that program and why can’t we reincorporate it as part of the release program for the non-violent incarcerated? With all the money spent on other things, sureley some of it can be funneled into making the non-employable into productive and valued folks with enough to keep them from making undesireable choices in the first place.
I say release them and replace them with 6000 criminals in DC
What sounds more presidential, barry the clown king or Trump?
All I know is the THIRD largest sheriff’s department worked on the CLOWNs paperwork and they couldn’t find anything that wasn’t FORGED or HIDDEN.
Didn’t you hear Hillarity say they were going to remove the “criminal history” box from applications????? That would include her criminal history too, when applying for President!
why is this site so slow……………………………………………………
It’s (PAST) time for everyone to ‘stand up’ and get rid of this lying, foreign national, criminal POTUS

You are looking at negro logic and their voodoo thinking which made Africa a GREAT NATION! Millions of mud huts, no farm land, and not a bathroom for miles around.
I often times think that is what would happen here if one day everyone left this place except for 100% black people. If all of the jew bankers and all caucasians, asian, hispanics, mixed, and everyone left except for the people that say they are “black enough” just up and left one day what do think would happen here?
Thousands are released every day already. Now is a good time to send a third of the undocumented illegals home w/ a stamp on their head that insures they do not return.
Obamas a pimp…bought by Corporate America….total sell out. But, if you believe some Republican is your savior then your dumber than a box of rocks. Democrats are dumb and incapable but Republicans are just plain evil. When I was growing up, a Union job at the Paper Mill meant you could get married, buy a bass boat, have kids, buy insurance, have a house built and as long as you put in enough overtime, life was good…..then along comes the Republican spin machine that spins a tale of jealousy that “Unions are greedy thugs” all because their corporate masters and the Chamber of Commerce want cheaper labor costs and more profit……they create jealousy in the minds of non union workers by saying “why should these greedy unions get more pay than you doing the same work? And it worked….people vote Republican even though by doing so they are bringing down their own leverage and wages…the rich are winning and no matter how hard you work you will never make as much as when you were unionized….together strong….you have been played. Life is hard. You have to take what you can for yourself and your family….the next time a Republican says “wages are too high” like Trump just said aloud on national tv….tell him to go to hell.
