Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.), who represents a congressional district that includes 300 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border, turned and walked away and did not answer when CNSNews.com asked him whether he was committed to sealing the border against the influx of illegal drugs.

“Are you committed to sealing the border against the influx of illegal drugs?” CNSNews.com asked Grijalva, who had stopped for an interview.

Rather than answer, Grijalva walked away, eventually shouting back at the reporter that it was “punkish” to ask the question.

The Rats are scared because public opinion is against them so they go back to the old “comprehensive Immigration reform” which actually means amnesty, without saying it.

Cong Raul Grijalva (D-Arizona) is under oath to defend the US Constitution, but he is advocating for Mexico rather than the United States. Grijalva is undermining the US rule of law, one of the central pillars of American exceptionalism.

REFERENCE U.S. Rep. Steve King to Fox's Laura Ingraham:" I’m wondering if we look at the map of Arizona Congressman Grijalva’s congressional district, if we haven’t already ceded that component of Arizona to Mexico, judging by the voice that comes out of Grijalva. Grijalva’s advocating for Mexico rather than the United States and against the rule of law, which is one of the central pillars of American exceptionalism. Grijalva believes Arizona's new law, which requires law enforcement officials to demand papers from anyone they suspect is in the country illegally, is racist and does little more than “propagate the idea separate but equal treatment under the law can be codified,” Grijalva said.

=====================================

DOING MEXICO'S BIDDING----BLOCKING ARIZONA'S NEW LAW Arizona Congressman Raul Grijalva, The National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, US Attorney General Eric Holder, Andrew Chavez, head of a Phoenix-based petition-circulating firm and chairman of the One Arizona referendum campaign. State Rep. Ben Miranda, a Phoenix Democrat who will serve as the local attorney on the case. At least three Arizona cities also are considering lawsuits to block the law. Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon retained legal counsel to prepare a lawsuit to file on behalf of the city. Tucson leaders and Flagstaff City Councilman Rick Swanson also are considering their options to block the law.

=======================================

ACTION NOW Arizonans should act now. Arizona elected officials under oath like Grijalva and the aforementioned who challenge the will of the people----that won’t enforce the new immigration law----are using public funds to aid and abet felonies against Arizona (and other US citizens).

===========================================

FOR EXAMPLE (1) Investors in Arizona tax-exempt bonds may have been misled about the use of their investments. (2) Arizona elected officials under oath like Grijalva and the aforementioned who challenge the will of the people----that won’t enforce new immigration law may have jeopardized investments in Arizona tax-exempt bonds

===================================

ACTION Do the research on timelines when Arizona legislators voted for the sale of billions of tax-exempt bonds to finance law enforcement, schools, highways, water facilities, municipal and county grants, etc, etc, etc. These bonds were then sold to tax-exempt investors.

Sometimes bond sales are voted upon---in state ballot referenda. Arizona public officials may have mis-stated uses of tax-exempt bonds on referenda ballots.

If immigrants illegals voted on tax-exempt bond issues, that could negate the bond revenue and subject the illegals to prosecution

MISLEADING BOND INVESTORS IS A SERIOUS CRIME Investors in Arizona tax-exempt bonds were clearly misled about the use of tax-exempt bond revenue. The SEC closely monitors tax-exempt bond sales. The SEC takes a dim view about misleading tax-exempt investors and the misuse of tax-exempt bond revenue. So does the IRS.

===================================

HERE'S WHAT TO DO:

(1) Express your concerns about Arizona elected officials under oath like Grijalva and the aforementioned who challenge the will of the people----that won’t enforce the new immigration law; this is a misappropriation of tax-exempt bond revenue.

EMAIL enforcement@SEC.gov.

(2) Contact the IRS to report suspected tax fraud and tax law violations by officials using tax-exempt bond revenue in ways not disclosed to investors.

IRS TOLL-FREE Tel 1-800-829-0433 You may remain anonymous.

(3) Arizona elected officials under oath like Grijalva and the aforementioned officials who challenge the will of the people----that won’t enforce new immigration law have co-opted investors in tax-exempt bonds; they should be reported for fiduciary negligence.

EMAIL askDOJ@USDOJ.gov

=====================================

Demand that banks holding Arizona tax-exempt bond revenue conduct an outside audit immediately and reveal their findings (or you will report banks to state and federal regulators).

Bond sales that were put to referendum are subject to penalties, since voters were misled about the uses of bond revenue.

The Arizona Secy of State should be asked to release all official documents filed WRT tax-exempt bond issues.

This fellow is a hardcore example of what is wrong with Democrats:

Grijalva has a pro-choice voting record and voted against the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act; however, animals are a different story.

In 2005 the Humane Society gave Grijalva a score of 100% for his "advocacy on animal welfare issues considered by Congress in 2005." He opposed horse slaughter, animal fighting, and puppy mills.

A little about the political stances of Congressman Grijalva (wikipedia):

>>>In 2006, the conservative National Journal ranked him as the 21st most liberal member in the House of Representatives, based on his votes in 2005.[3]

>>>Gun rights - Grijalva supports increasing restrictions on the purchase and possession of guns and increasing enforcement of existing restrictions on gun purchase and possession.[14] He was one of the 67 co-sponsors of the 2007 Assault Weapons Ban, HR 1022.[15] Grijalva has an F rating from the NRA.

>>>Immigration: Grijalva has described current immigration laws as "cruel" and "unjust."[1] He supports amnesty for illegal aliens already present in the country, as well as increasing legal immigration.[1] He voted against H.R. 4437 and against the Secure Fence Act. He opposed Arizona Proposition 200 in 2004, and he does not support a National Guard presence on the border.

This guy couldn't be more of a lefty if he was hanging out, eatin' sammiches with Bill Ayers and Angela Davis.

I think he gave his answer quite clearly. This asshat is fully on the side of the illegals and narco-terrorists and against the citizens of the United States. He needs to be sooooo gone.
