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.

Can’t Arizona build their own damned fence? I’ll send a donation to help!

John Morton and Esther Olavarria are tremendous additions to our Homeland Security team. Both have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to public service and both will be able and effective partners as we tackle the very complex issues surrounding immigration and securing of our borders,” Secretary Napolitano said.
These people are FOS.

Megyn asked if this was the first we’ve heard of this, and I sent an email to her telling her, no it’s not the first time. Al Sharpton recommended this inaction when he was in Phoenix making a speech about SB 1070. I wonder if she read it on the air?
the solution is simple
Take them to the border crossing and point a gun. Flee or die
Or perhaps, Carry them out in the desert and drive the bus into Mexicoand force them off the bus and return it ti USA.
Who gives a rat’s ass about violating Mexican territory.

I am convinced the only reason for illegal immigration is for votes for the democrat party. Other parties may try to take advantage such as businesses and bureaucrats but that is only a sideshow used for cover for the real purpose of stuffing the democrat ballot box. I wondered if there would ever come a day when the leftists would finally feel powerful enough to just come out and say “we don’t have to follow any laws, everyone must obey us”. I don’t recognize this country anymore.
A House divided can not stand.
stop supplying california with electricity and water....
bring back all national guard troops to guard the border.....(north, south, east, and west borders....)
bring illegal aliens to the border and push them across into Mehico....
Better yet. Transport them to Washington DC and release them. Pay for it out of the receipts withheld from the feds.
“AZ should put ALL federal tax receipts on hold until they do.....”
AMEN!
Who...Pelosi...Reid????
Who???
this may require secession
The guy has an easy job as head of an agency that doesn’t do anything.
“Arizona should secede”
You know what? That exact thought crossed my mind when this broke this afternoon on Fox. Megyn kelly said if they had not confirmed it themselves, she would not have believed it.
I watched a fisherman in Louisiana in tears begging, pleading for the president of the United States of AMERICA to DO something to help Louisiana.
This is outrageous. ALL of it. Every state who has paid tax dollars to this government and which are being blatantly dissed and ignored because they have responsible governors, should threaten to secede, and NONE of them should process anymore federal tax dollars to this pos government...period!
Actually, if he DOES order such a thing....that would be an impeachable offense.
I think we got sued by some greenies to prevent it.
It's called willful malfeasance.

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.
What about Nashville? They just went through a “1000 year flood”..a catastrophe—Obama has not set foot in the place.
The citizens, led by the CHURCHES—are pulling themselves back together. Obama calculated he’d never win such a conservative state, so he doesn’t cast them a crumb of attention.
