My man Digger has some excellent photographs and video footage of what the media has deemed a “peaceful protest” in Phoenix yesterday
Heh. Peaceful? Yeah. Right.
Somehow how, I’m not certain that is what I’d call it.
Although I must confess I laughed out loud regarding Sherrif Arapio’s statements on the crowd protesting the flippin’ jail…
“Saved on Gas.”
Todays revelation regarding the Arizona immigration law set me to thinking as well as set me to anger.
When I got home I reread two articles that I found rather intriguing regarding the issue. Both written by Associate Clinical Professor of Law, Cornell Law School, Prof. William Richardson. Professor Richardson is also a blogger, whom runs a site called Legal Insurrection.
I won’t pretend to be anywhere near as knowledgeable of the law as the good Professor, I will attempt to understand, and be as clear ,as best I can.
Arizona has signs like this at the border...but there isn't a problem? How stupid do the American people look?
Legal Insurrection has the best write up so far.
Get ready ladies and gentlemen, because this is where the metal meets the meat.
Smell the sweat, and the bad breath. Arizona has two choices here: fight or flight. Somehow given the problems they are having and the lack of the federal government to do..well..anything….fight will be their option. I can’t see them going quietly in to that good night, not at this stage. Further since a majority of Americans supported this law, it casts a very grim light on our federal government system.
This could get extremely ugly folks. Think secession ain’t a possibility? Think again. Anything is possible when you start talking about governmental sovereignty and the protection of citizens.
And it applies to more than just Arizona. Sarah Boltons ruling paves the way for illegals to come and openly seek and take jobs in the United States.
…..Court therefore does not enjoin the
following provisions of S.B. 1070:
……
Section 7 of S.B. 1070
A.R.S. § 23-212: amending the crime of knowing employment of
unauthorized aliens
Section 8 of S.B. 1070
A.R.S. § 23-212.01: amending the crime of intentional employment of
unauthorized aliens
Section 9 of S.B. 1070
A.R.S. § 23-214: amending the requirements for checking employment
eligibility
….
12 Million Americans are out of work and this Administration just opened the flood gates for another country to come and take the jobs we do have without those individuals paying a solitary dime in taxes.
Furthermore this brings up a very ugly reality about both our judicial-ship and our current administration:
They don’t care about you and I.
Just about the possible votes they can get and staying in office.
However there is a silver lining in all this.
If states are not allowed to enforce federal law, based on this judges reasoning does that mean states will not have to enforce ObamaCare to its residency?
So who cares about a silly little thing like terrorists crossing the border?
We don’t need no stinkin’ security!
Typical brainless, pointless, knee jerk reaction by the Obama Administration and the Media with no actual though or substance to their reasoning.
Back in April I said there were 3 options that the Federal Government would possibly undertake in reaction to Arizona’s new Immigration Law.
* Either A they will take action and begin securing the border all the while saying states need take no further action and renouncing Arizona’s law
* Or B they will attack Arizona’s law. They will lambaste it as unconstitutional, they will investigate, call hearings and order investigations. All the while our Southern borders will remain untouched.
There is a third option as well, however
They’ll fight for amnesty so that anyone who enters this country is automatically a citizen
Looks like they took Option B.
Why is that important?
Because a State of this United States, passed a law that only applies to its borders, and it’s regions, by its citizenry. Much like medicinal marijuana, or drinking ages. By challenging this law, the Federal Government sets precedent: that they are the ruling law of the land and there is nothing our states or we as a nation of citizens can do to stop.
Get ready folks.
This will just be the tip of the ice berg, but its the most blatant attack on state sovereignty in well over 70 years.
A Huge congratulations go to the state of Arizona for being the first to take a monster step forward in the fight against illegal immigration.
This is so far over due it is not even worth discussing. The Federal Government has decided to ignore this issue. They have been ignoring this issue for over a decade through both Presidencies. Meanwhile they criticize states for taking action, try to stone wall states from protecting their citizens all the while undermining states sovereignty by eroding our states 10th Amendment rights with actions like Health Care Reform.
This isn’t just a shot across the bow to The Fed, it’s a H&I round to their lines. They will have to take action now, and I strongly advise you to watch carefully:
There is a third option as well, however
They’ll fight for amnesty so that anyone who enters this country is automatically a citizen, and all of you poor Americans who are unemployed?
You will now have to fight twice as many people who are also unemployed and who will work for less than half what you have been making in the middle of the horrid national economic crisis for a job.
Think about it.
Missouri Lawmakers? Whats your response?
Update:Digger sounds off on the headline as well!
From NPR Arizona Passes Tough New Immigration Law
Ms. JENNIFER ALLEN (Director, Border Action Network): This bill is a fundamental – it’s an enormous affront on the basic rights and dignity that every person has in the state of Arizona, in the United States, and around the world.
…
Ms. ALLEN: It will, in fact, result in tens of millions of dollars of additional costs every single year for local law enforcement, for training, for the court system, for the jails. It will require bringing on new public defenders, new prosecutors.
…
Ms. ALLEN: Tire people. Hit them left, hit them right, from the front and from the back until people are literally exhausted and run out of the state and run out of the country.
So what your saying is, in a economy where we don’t have enough jobs, this bill will create them, and where people are here illegally, this bill will send them home?
You mean someone actually passed a bill that will do precisely what it says it will do?
Excuse me, but I fail to see the problem here.
Where we at Missouri, we going to follow suit I trust?
