Ah, Arizona’s Blessed Contagion…
We read and hear all this doo doo from the left about the so-called “racist” “facistic” “un-American” Arizona anti-illegal immigration law, with politicians in California and other states turning into real bananas over it.
Hey, it’s not Arizona’s fault that the U.S. Government isn’t enforcing its own laws, and that this blatant negligence is hurting the state of Arizona’s economy while also subjecting those nearer the Mexican border to the constant threat of violence by drug gangs comprised of illegal immigrants.
However, other states, those whose voters and to some extent politicians are not of anal-cranial inversions, are beginning to jump on Arizona’s bandwagon.
I applaud these states.
A controversial law passed in Arizona giving state and local police the right to arrest anyone reasonably suspected of being an illegal immigrant is catching on nationwide, with lawmakers and others in several states considering similar legislation.
Concerned about the federal government’s failure to secure the nation’s borders, legislators and political candidates from Georgia to Colorado have introduced bills to beef up local immigration enforcement, have promised to do so or said they would support such legislation if offered.
“With the federal government currently AWOL in fulfilling its constitutional responsibilities to protect American lives, property and jobs against the clear and present dangers of illegal-alien invaders, state lawmakers … are left with no choice but to take individual action to address this critical economic and national security epidemic,” said Pennsylvania state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe.
Mr. Metcalfe, a Republican who introduced legislation last week modeled on the Arizona law, said his bill would give “every illegal alien residing in Pennsylvania two options: Leave immediately or go to jail.”
His bill would, among other things, give state and local law enforcement officials full authority to apprehend Pennsylvania’s estimated 140,000 illegal immigrants and require law enforcement officers to attempt to verify the immigration status of suspected illegal immigrants. It also would make it a criminal offense for illegal immigrants to fail to register as foreigners or to have proof that they did.
Other states, such as South Carolina, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Maryland, North Carolina, Texas, Missouri, Nebraska and Idaho are looking into passing similar legislation.
Bravo!
Naturally, simpering, backside gourmands of Obama’s Socialist Circus of the Far Left are hoping to stomp on Arizona’s right as a sovereign state of America, using the usual scuzzy liberal resort of “civil rights”, the same ones the liberal establishment would deny those of us on the right for political expedience in order to preserve the anti-constitutional, propagandized socialist republic into which they’re turning America.
Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. on Sunday said the Justice Department is considering a federal lawsuit against Arizona’s new immigration law. He told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that the lawsuit could challenge whether the law would lead to civil rights violations.
Yeah, like that guy.
