John Conyers has written a letter to Attorney General, Eric Holder, and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano asking them to investigate Maricopa County, Arizona sheriff Arpaio.

From John Conyers Writes a Letterfrom daveleroy at RedState:

Being a border state, Arizona is uniquely situated in the illegal immigration battle.  Like Texas, California and New Mexico, it is these state governments that bear the huge costs of illegal immigration in their hospitals, their schools, and their law enforcement resources.  With the increasing violence south of the border instigated by competition between drug cartels, it is bound to, and has in some instances, spilled north of the Rio Grande.  Yet, we now have bureaucrats sitting in Washington, DC high on their dais questioning the tactics of the foot soldiers- actually one foot soldier- in this very real battle.  While they twiddle their thumbs and contenplate "comprehensive immigration reform" and "strengthening our southern border," they now have the audacity to criticize someone who is actually doing something about it.
