An Arizona sheriff says U.S. Border Patrol officials have repeatedly told him they have been ordered to reduce -- at times even stop -- arrests of illegal immigrants caught trying to cross the U.S. border.
Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever told FoxNews.com that a supervisor with the U.S. Border Patrol told him as recently as this month that the federal agency’s office on Arizona's southern border was under orders to keep apprehension numbers down during specific reporting time periods.
“The senior supervisor agent is telling me about how their mission is now to scare people back,” Dever said in an interview with FoxNews.com. “He said, ‘I had to go back to my guys and tell them not to catch anybody, that their job is to chase people away. … They were not to catch anyone, arrest anyone. Their job was to set up posture, to intimidate people, to get them to go back.”
Dever said his recent conversation with the Border Patrol supervisor was the latest in a series of communications on the subject that he has had with various federal agents over the last two years. Dever said he plans to relay the substance of these conversations when he testifies under oath next month before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

I guess its easy to say arrests on the border are down if the authorities are ordered to reduce arrests.
 
This is in line with a story that illegals have moved their crossing points a bit farther from what was the main crossing points, where there have been a few more Agents brought in.

I am glad to see another County Sheriff go on the offensive against the Obama, Napolitano doctrine of allowing illegals cross the Border with impunity because they see illegals as voters in the camp.

California alone has more than 3 million illegals at a cost of about $10 billion dollars a year.

What is just as bad is that in California there are NO CHECKS to verify anything on the on line voter registration forms, and once registered you can vote by mail for life.

My guest is that there are currently well over a million illegals registered and voting in California every election.

Hats off to the County Sheriffs of Arizona, keep kicking ass.
