PHOENIX -- Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said he's shocked by the Obama administration move to stop deporting some younger illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children.

"Now we have Obama, Holder and Napolitano that think they can just unilaterally wave their hand and change the law and policy," said Babeu, referring to the president, Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano.

Babeu said the move is nothing more than the president trying to draw in the Hispanic vote for his re-election run.

"It's driven by politics. Looking for Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico. Swing states vital to his re-election."

    is that you still have the nerve to show your mug on TV. You are nothing but a corrupt wanna-be that should be held accountable for your malfeasance. Oh well..."a todo chancho le llega la hora" like my grandmother in Spain used to say.

    Romney doesn't stand a chance in November of winning. Especially with all the negative Republican views on this subject. Republicans do not have the Blacks, Latino, gay or even the female vote. How can Romney stand a chance only having the rich, minority-White male, religious 1%er vote? And by the way, President Obama doesn't have my vote either. Ron Paul does.

    Thank God ignorance is bliss...and that applies to you. BTW...being multilingual is a blessing. Did you know that? I am sorry you can't read Spanish (I take it from your rant). BTW...the language MOST spoken in the world is Mandarin Chinese. And now...you have been educated.

    about the children who were brought here illegally by their parents. When cannot and noone in politics will even try, to deport however many thousands of illegals there are in this country. Obama is doing this just for political gain, not because he really gives a rats patoot about the children of illegals. He shows over and over and over again what little regard he has for America and/or Americans.
