Arizona is right on illegal immigration!
I was planning on continuing my comments on Illinois finances tonight. However, because of events over this weekend and because I was once a citizen of the State of Arizona, I am changing my post for tonight. The new post:
On April 10, 2010, page A2; the Peoria Journal Star published an article entitled “Killing of rancher roils immigration debate.” Portions of that article include the following: “Cattle rancher Rob Krentz … and his dog were gunned down shortly after he reported spotting someone who appeared to be in trouble. Foot tracks were followed from the shooting scene about 20 miles south, to the Mexican border, and authorities suspect an illegal immigrant.
The killing of the third-generation rancher has become a flashpoint in the immigration debate as politicians cite the episode as further proof that the U.S. must do more to secure the violent U.S.-Mexican border.
The governors of New Mexico and Arizona took a public tour of the border this week in support of more security.”
Then, according to another Peoria Journal Star article published on April 24, 2010, page A2; the Republican Governor of Arizona signed into law a bill that accomplishes the following:
1) “Makes it a crime under state law (Arizona law—my addition) to be in the country illegally.” (Obviously, Arizona can only enforce the law within the boundaries of the State of Arizona. There is presently a federal law against illegal immigration. If not, by definition, there would be no such thing as illegal immigration—my addition.)
2) “Requires local police officers to question people about their immigration status if there is a reason to suspect they are illegal immigrants.” (This law does NOT send out local police officers in search of illegal immigrants! Too bad! We’d catch more illegal immigrants if we were searching for them—my addition.)
3) “Allows lawsuits against government agencies that hinder enforcement of immigration laws.” (Obviously, this provision allows lawsuits against Arizona government agencies since States do not have the authority to allow lawsuits against federal government agencies. Certainly, the State of Arizona does have the authority to allow lawsuits against Arizona State agencies. What are State agencies doing hindering the enforcement of the law?—my addition)
4) “Makes it illegal to hire illegal immigrants for day labor or knowingly transport them.” (There is presently a federal law making it illegal to hire illegal immigrants and to aid and abet their delivery into the country or from one portion of the nation to another by crossing State lines. Thus, this is basically a restatement of federal law to be enforced by local law enforcement officials—my addition.)
One would think that the federal government would welcome the help of the State of Arizona to enforce through its own laws, laws that are similar to federal law. But, no! According to the same article, President Barack Hussein Obama has condemned the efforts of the Arizona legislature. “Earlier Friday, Obama called the Arizona bill ‘misguided’ and instructed the Justice Department to examine it to see if it’s legal. (Since when does the Justice Department determine the legality of State law? What utter arrogance on his part!—my addition) He also said the federal government must enact immigration reform at the national level—or leave the door open to ‘irresponsibility by others.’ (Did the President of the United States just call the elected legislature of the State of Arizona and the Governor of Arizona irresponsible? What utter arrogance on his part! By the way, from what I have heard, the law is supported by 70% of the citizens of the State of Arizona including 50% of Arizona Democrats. Does that make all of these citizens irresponsible? What utter arrogance on his part! He has made it an art form to misuse the word reform. Everything seems to be a reform for him. His idea of reform, in this instance, is to grant American citizenship to those individuals who have deliberately violated federal law. It is NOT mine! By definition, illegal immigrants are criminals! By definition!—my addition)
‘That includes, for example, the recent efforts in Arizona, which threaten to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans, as well as trust between police and their communities that is so crucial to keeping us safe,’ Obama said.” (What utter nonsense. I don’t know where he gets his concept of fairness? What is unfair about having laws to protect the people of Arizona by arresting and convicting those who are in the State of Arizona illegally! The law does not call for the arrest of any one nationality of people or of anyone of a particular race. It calls for the arrest of people WHO ARE VIOLATING THE LAW! Next, President Obama will try to convince us that it is unfair to arrest people who commit murder. This law should increase the trust between the citizens of the State of Arizona and law enforcement officials. The officials are making the State safer by arresting law violators. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO DO!!! What a novel concept!—my addition)
President Obama seems to continue to believe that we are ALL blithering idiots who are somehow charmed and mesmerized by his every word regardless of what he utters. I never have been! I never will be! And quite frankly, this law passed by the State of Arizona is NONE of HIS concern! He is not a citizen of the State of Arizona! He is not the Governor of Arizona! He is not a legislator in the State of Arizona! And it is not a civil rights violation to arrest people who are violating the laws of the State of Arizona! RIDE ON ARIZONA!!!
