Top Official Says Feds May Not Process Illegals Referred From Arizona
Fox News ^ | May 21, 2010 | Fox News

Posted on 05/21/2010 10:48:41 AM PDT by angelcindy

A top Department of Homeland Security official reportedly said his agency will not necessarily process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona authorities.

John Morton, assistant secretary of homeland security for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, made the comment during a meeting on Wednesday with the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune, the newspaper reports. "I don't think the Arizona law, or laws like it, are the solution," Morton told the newspaper. The best way to reduce illegal immigration is through a comprehensive federal approach, he said, and not a patchwork of state laws. The law, which criminalizes being in the state illegally and requires authorities to check suspects for immigration status, is not "good government," Morton said.

Jan Brewer needs to come forth, loudly, and state exactly that this law wouldn’t have been necessary if the federal government were doing its Constitutionally mandated duties instead of everything the Constitution says it may not do.

She was on Fox last night doing just that. Interesting she said they reviewed memos from when Janet Napolitano was AZ Governor. She was also asking Feds for help, and sent a copy of a large check of what it is costing AZ in education, ,incarceration, hospitals.... Napolitano will not respond to Brewer's letters.

Intentional obstruction of justice. The Barry0 administration is purposely undermining the rule of law.

If the fed is currently not enforcing laws, why should we pay taxes? Why should we obey any sort of federal law if they don’t enforce it? Why should we not split from the union if there is no consequence in forming the “Replublic of ______”?

This provides an opening for questions to be directed to Obama. When illegals are handed to the feds will they or will they not proces sthem? If not that would seem to be an impeachable offense.

“Arizona needs to provide FREE One Way BUS RIDES to California for anyone crossing the border - No Questions Asked. Just board the bus and take a nice air conditioned ride to the next border. “

I like this idea, but want to add, if you have papers you cannot enter the bus, LOL!

I can think of no good reason not to do every one of those things. Start by evicting all Federal agencies from AZ. Pack up! Get out!

Outrageous stuff. Arizona is the front line in the corrupt Obama siege on Americana. Other states need to pass similar legislation, stand together, and take on the DC socialist regime.

It is a violation of law for any person to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection in any place, including any building or means of transportation, any alien who is in the United States in violation of law. HARBORING MEANS ANY CONDUCT THAT TENDS TO SUBSTANTIALLY FACILITATE AN ALIEN TO REMAIN IN THE U.S. ILLEGALLY. .The sheltering need not be clandestine, and harboring covers aliens arrested outdoors, as well as in a building. This provision includes harboring an alien who entered the U.S. legally but has since lost his legal status.

Section 274 felonies under the federal Immigration and Nationality Act, INA 274A(a)(1)(A): A person (including a group of persons, business, organization, or local government) commits a federal felony when she or he:
* assists an alien s/he should reasonably know is illegally in the U.S. or who lacks employment authorization, by transporting, sheltering, or assisting him or her to obtain employment, or
* encourages that alien to remain in the U.S. by referring him or her to an employer or by acting as employer or agent for an employer in any way, or
* knowingly assists illegal aliens due to personal convictions.

The POTUS IS A FELON!

These clowns are telling us to our faces that the Law is what THEY say it is. They are openly, brazenly and without compunction demonstration their CONTEMPT for our History, our Constitution and our Nation.

There WILL be a shooting Civil War.

In this term.

Count on it.

God forbid illegals get deported. We need them HERE for amnesty.. If deported, think of all the potential DEMOCRAT VOTES that would be lost. The motives of the Dems is sickening and pathetic. It’s all about vote prospects for their party. That’s the ONLY way Obama can stay in office after 2012.
