Obama Seeks Immigration Overhaul, Slams Arizona Law
The Age ^ | April 25, 2010 | RANDAL ARCHIBOLD

THE signing into law of America's toughest bill on illegal immigration has led to immediate protests, reignited the divisive battle over immigration reform and angered the US President.

Even before Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed the bill - aimed at identifying, prosecuting and deporting illegal immigrants - President Barack Obama strongly criticised it.

Speaking at a naturalisation ceremony for 24 active-duty service members in Washington's Rose Garden, he called for a federal overhaul of immigration laws, which congressional leaders signalled they were preparing to take up soon, to avoid ''irresponsibility by others''.

He said the Arizona law, enacted on Friday US time, threatened ''to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans, as well as the trust between police and our communities that is so crucial to keeping us safe''.

[snip] Mexico's foreign ministry said in a statement that it was worried about the rights of its citizens and relations with Arizona.

now is the time to paint him as anti American and pro illegal...he is doing plenty to bring this country down.

The $Million question: IS Obama and his radical group of traitors doing this on purpose? Oh gosh, forgive me, I gave away the correct answer when I called them traitors.

I can’t even stand to watch the news these last few weeks because I become physically ill when I have to see Obama’s face and his absolute postures of narcissism.

It is really becoming scary stuff that needs to be undone!

We should invade Mexico and seize their oil fields as reparations for the American taxpayers who have been footing the cost of illegal immigration for decades.

I’ve had it with the arrogance of the corrupt Mexican government.

So Obama was obliterating the difference between the newly naturalized active-duty service members that he was addressing and the people who are sneaking in over the border.

I can just see Joe Biden grabbing the microphone and saying “Sorry about my friend. He’s had a little too much to drink.”

Obama is worried about his SEIU votes......Arizona is doing (at last) the right thing...Obama has no constitutional standing on his argument.....but then when did that ever bother him.”

NObama has yet to prove that he is constitutionally eligible to even be in the Oval Office.

I think he is the highest profile illegal intruder of all.

King obuma is inviting a foreign army to invade America and change our form of government. That’s treason.

I hope Arizona is ready to fight back and make known just how bad conditions are because the federal government refuses to help by enforcing our laws. Arizona wouldn’t have to pass a law like this if Washington would get serious about protecting our borders.””””

I hope that the main group of the Western states band together and talk about forming their own group of states into their own “Western United States of America.
Idaho-
Wyoming-
N Dakota-
S Dakota-
Montana-
Nebraska-
Kansas-
Missouri-
Oklahoma-
Texas-
New Mexico-
Arizona-
Colorado-
Utah &
Nevada—
Alaska ?
These 15 or 16 states have more in common with each other than any other contigous group. Maybe include Alaska, also.

Drill for their own oil. There is alot of it in those states. Coal production brought up and increased dramatically. Food production without the EPA and the Greenies telling them where & when they can graze on public lands. Kick the Feds off the land that they are choking from use & property taxes. Nevada is over 84% controlled by the Feds. Utah is over 60% under Fed control. Idaho is over 50%. That is alot of land kept from being used by ranchers, oil producers, and coal production. Gold, Silver, Tungsten, and other minerals are there and can be mined.

The much higher attitude of independence in those states will prove them to be far more productive and operating with balanced budgets in short order- and the remainder of states may NEVER be in that status ever again. NObama is destroying far too much of the infrastructure of the American buslness community. 3 or 4 of those states have no personal income tax. Wyoming-Nevada-Texas- & S Dakota, I think.

Those states will outlaw ACORN and put them in jail where they belong. Vote tampering won’t be allowed. ID at the polls will be mandated. NO ID- NO voting. Cannot play Little League without proper ID- why should you be able to vote?

Criminals won’t sit on death row forever & ever. They will learn in short order to stay out of those states or face serious consequences. Back to the days of “The Wild West”? Maybe that isn’t so bad...

The other states & their voters and politicians seem to think there should be no consequences for any of your actions— steal from the bodega/ rape & kill a little girl/ steal the bank depositers blind loaning money to those who want to buy a house & who cannot qualify to buy a T-shirt on payments/ Welfare? NO- WORKFARE & only for a short time, with no extensions or repeats/ use drugs and expect to get ‘more chances to rehab yourself’?-Not on your life.

Anyone can add more to my list.

I am fed up with all the second-3rd-4th-5th etc chances that offenders keep getting, all they while costing the community as a whole lots of money.

Drive drunk? You won’t like the punishment I would give you.
Rape or molest anyone? You will like that punishment even less, because you won’t get the chance to do it again—and I won’t be feeding & housing you for any length of time. Think you don’t want to work? Go to one of those LIBERAL locations, because you won’t get to slack in my Western United States.

I am convinced that I would have quality companies pleading to be allowed to come to these states, and that I would have quality people for a labor force. I will need brain surgeons thru to janitors...but you have to be good at whatever you do. NO slackers.

Maybe this is a rant for those who don’t want to think in these terms, but I think we are far closer to “Mad Max” in this country then to “MR Smith Goes to Washington.”

I think good people in this country have had enough, and they are setting up to push back. Somehow-Someway, but they are going to push back.

Time will see how correct I am.

Go back & look at alot of his posture when he was campaigning——the chin thrust has been polished, but he has done it for a very long time.

I think it is his version of flipping the middle finger.

I loved your list. I copied it to my journal it was so good.

I hate for Texas to secede on it’s own, better to have the Heartland. The left can have the outlying coasts and good luck with that and no freedom.

We will band together and have freedom to succeed. And no, you can’t immigrate to the better country then try to dilute to communism again. Take what you want and LIVE with it.

We can go on with our lives without you.

I like your accountability, freedom to fail, freedom to succeed, laws that apply to EVERYONE, vote is guarded, criminals face punishment quickly & the attitude of “you don’t work, you don’t eat” mentality list.

I would like to add the FairTax. No IRS, no jackbooted thugs with guns to find out info on you that you didn’t even want to tell your kids, just to collect taxes that fund excess spending..

I want that we pay taxes on what you spend, not income. No deductions, no lobbyists, no IRS. April 15th - just another lovely day.

Border security, you knock on the FRONT door, and if found sneaking in, you are gone and NEVER get to enter this place again.

Personally I would like to see severe jail time for politicians who violate the Constitution. Spending should only be as big as the taxes brought in the year before. No unfunded liablities. True pay as you “got in last year” and balanced budget.

Property rights supreme.

No funding to a UN and definately not on our soil or immunity from paying parking tickets or murder in our country.

English will be the printed language on our ballots and stores, learn it.

That’s all off the top of my head, give me time and I could come up with more.
