Our government has never seriously attempted to seal our borders to drugs, disease, illegal aliens (like the darlings in this photo) and terrorists.
Arizona is a beautiful state with national forests and pristine wilderness. It is a favorite destination for tourists and retirees. But recently, we have seen its forests burnt by the campfires of illegal aliens, its pristine wilderness buried in garbage and human waste by these same people; its farms ransacked; livestock butchered; and its citizens murdered and kidnapped.
After waiting, impatiently, for many years, for the federal government to close the borders and take action to remove those illegally present, Arizona passed a law, SB1070, a bill that mirrors what most other states and the federal government claim as their policy for dealing with illegal aliens that are discovered by law enforcement officers in the normal course of their duties.
But instead of thanking Arizona for their assistance in dealing with this problem, our federal government chose to sue them for doing the work that they had failed to do, claiming that this duty was the exclusive obligation of the federal government, even if that government chooses to ignore its obligation!
In a clearly orchestrated move, some of the old time civil rights activists, yearning for one more chance to garner headlines, or, perhaps, lead a protest march, decided to turn Arizona’s effort to protect its citizens into a Civil Rights circus complete with marchers, protest rallies, etc…
The big question is why? Why sue Arizona? Won’t it just dramatize Washington’s failure to do its job … and encourage the people to throw more Congressmen out of office?
On the contrary, their plan is to use Arizona’s suffering as proof that immigration reform needs to happen immediately! Unfortunately, the government’s version of immigration reform has little or nothing to do with closing the borders and everything to do with AMNESTY.
Rumors abound that President Obama, who learned quickly how to use (or misuse) executive authority, plans to use this crisis to grant amnesty (albeit by another name) using his own executive authority, sparing his beleaguered fellow Democrats from a recorded vote on this flash point issue.
Some say, he is working with the organizations like La Raza, MALDEF and other racist groups to incite violent riots and mass demonstrations by illegal aliens, giving the President even more justification for taking extraordinary measures such as granting amnesty/citizenship/voting rights to as many as 30 million illegal aliens, “in order to keep the peace and save American lives and property.”
Couldn’t happen here? We are a nation of laws? Tell that to the Germans who were around when Hitler’s thugs burned the Reichstag building and blamed it on communists so the government could pass an emergency decree giving Hitler total authority. Germany’s Constitution was thrown out the window; civil liberties were suspended; the NAZI party was born … and the rest is history.
Far fetched? Is it more far fetched that this nation electing a relatively unknown, inexperienced, freshman Senator with a terrible voting record whose only campaign promise was “change”?
