More difficult self-proclaimed U.S. Sheriff Joe Arpaio said the gang members in cold cases have probable cause to believe that the birth certificate Obama released last April found is a fake.
The Maricopa County Sheriff's outspokenness is not succumbing to pressure. About two months after the U.S. Department of Justice has accused him of racial discrimination, Joe Arpaio, is back in the spotlight, throwing on-again, off again the controversy over the birthplace of Obama.
Self-proclaimed Sheriff harder in the U.S. has called a press conference Thursday that members of his group of volunteers Cold Case report found probable cause to believe that the birth certificate along the White House gave was released in April a fake computer generated. They thought the same thing about his selective service card, 1980.
"I can not declare in good faith that these documents are authentic," said Republican lawman, whose uncompromising stance against illegal immigration has brought him national fame.
TEST: Can you pass a U.S. citizenship?
Rumors that Obama was born outside the United States, the homeland of his father from Kenya, are exposed repeatedly. However, some refuse to believe that the president was born in Hawaii, as his certificate, and insist that he does not qualify for the biggest in the country chosen to celebrate. Arpaio says he launched the probe request from 250 last summer Arizona with links to the "tea party".
Critics say Arpaio has much to gain by injecting himself in the call Birther subject, divert attention from their problems, while calling on the Conservative supporters. It is still under federal investigation for possible civil rights violations, and some federal centers separate probe into allegations of abuse.
Consequently, their ability to enforce immigration laws is limited. And several groups have called for his resignation at the news that his office has hundreds of cases of sexual crimes neglected.
Given the shock Arpaio's last performance with the Obama administration "is a kind of confrontation with the government," said Bruce Merrill, a political scientist and professor emeritus at Arizona State University in Tempe.
"He strikes back against his detractors," said Randy Parraz, co-founder and president of Citizens for a Better Arizona and one of the fiercest critics of Arpaio.
Arpaio denies his motivations are political and insists that he simply did his job.
"It's like any other criminal investigation," he said.
Mr. Merrill has doubts about the legitimacy of the results of Arpaio. "This is a sheriff, is an experienced forensic scientist," he said.
The sheriff may be trying to gather more support in his bid to be elected for a sixth term this year, said Paul Bender, a law professor at Arizona State.
"I love being in the public eye," he says. "He likes to do things themselves that way, and worked for him and his political career so far, for he was still in office . "
Teachers and others argue that the state takes immigration law known as SB 1070, is unconstitutional. But Arpaio is a strong supporter of the law, which has equal in the courtroom.
The Sheriff's zeal to prosecute illegal immigrants has become a favorite among like-minded people, like state Rep. Carl Seel, who plans to revive efforts to pass legislation in Arizona Birther. But the actions of the sheriff also brought scrutiny. In September 2010, the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the sheriff, said he had refused to cooperate with an investigation of civil rights. Then in the middle of December last year, the Department of Justice after a three-year investigation has given a damning report into his office in a systematic bias against Latinos and retaliation against those who complain. The sheriff believes the federal government's actions are politically motivated.
Despite his troubles, Arpaio continues to be a player in Republican circles. Republican presidential candidates sought for months after its approval during the campaign in Arizona. Arpaio has endorsed Rick Perry, who end up falling out of the race.
