Paul Babeu Calls Obama's DREAM Act Policy "Shocking," Dismissing His Own Shocking Actions

By Monica Alonzo Fri., Jun. 15 2012 at 5:34 PM

Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu apparently forgot that he quit his Congressional race, because he again spewed tired talking points from that campaign -- this time blasting President Barack Obama for granting temporary deportation immunity and work permits to certain undocumented immigrants.

Babeu seems to be upset because Obama is not strictly enforcing all immigration laws by giving law-abiding students a temporary reprieve and the right to work. And yet Babeu also elected to give law-abiding undocumented immigrants in his county a pass.

In Babeu's world, it's okay for him to call "hands off" of the illegal-immigrant population that isn't involved with violent drug cartels, but when Obama did it for a portion of the same population -- law-abiding high school graduates, college students, or members of the military -- Babeu called it "shocking."

Also, it's hilarious that Babeu would call another politician's actions shocking, when he shocked the hell out of constituents recently with antics we need not even detail in this post.
