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.

I like that idea, but I would also put these prisoners to work on state-related work projects to offset the cost to the Arizona taxpayers.
I'm talking about serious, hard labor in the Arizona sun. Make them pay for their law-breaking and their incarceration.
They'll be begging to go home to Meh-hee-co.
Tyranny is upon us. Vote the bastards out. Those who can’t be voted out need ridiculed and shunned relentlessly.
So does the guy just not know how to BBQ or what?
Say something to prove that you are not an amnesty loving freak and you’ll get more respect around here.
Sheriff Joe is a Patriot.
Scott, I think you've been on the Left Coast far too long, if you honestly believe what you just said.

I wanted to read comments on this story on other web sites... and I can’t find it on CNN or MSNBC anywhere! I’m not surprised but still I can’t believe my eyes!

They're too busy sniffing 0bama's back end to protect the citizenry from invaders.
They are pushing for a Federal I.D. scheme.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio has already figured out how to get the cost per prisoner down to about $1.50 per day.
Plus, these prisoners should be made to work on state projects for a net profit to the taxpayers of Arizona. Screw putting them up in Club Fed prisons.
Actually, this is a legally significant point. The Founding Fathers reasonable claims of tyranny by King George were used to legitimize the break with Great Britain. This was a legal principle used by the Dutch revolutionaries against 16th Century Spain. However the Dutch had made a stretch to the law, in that if your Sovereign had committed a FELONY against you, all oaths and homage were null and void. You could go so far as to legally engage in war against you former Sovereign, if you so chose.
The less extreme option of packing up and finding another Liege Lord willing to protect you obviously follows.
Please see T. Beza's monograph "Des Droits du Magistrats sur lieur Sujets" of circa 1574 (french is approximate). In it, Beza references the exact law in the libri feudorum on the legal consequences of felonious activity against you by the government you had owed loyalty to.
The poor baby will lose all that free time he has surfing porn sites.
Demanding he do work as opposed to stroking his little friend is simply too much to ask!
That situation never has a good outcome.
Come again? We had a great outcome in the late 1700s.
If we don't turn over the congress in November, the regime may get its wish (and more than it bargained for).
Homeland Security Alert: Terror suspect may be headed to Texas through Mexico
What if he moves over a state or two?
Cheers!
He is sort of correct; it is NOT good government: GOOD government would make it unnecessary by protecting our borders and enforcing our laws..
So put the illegal juveniles in their own tent city, for crying out loud.
No wonder you cry on and on about losing your gov't job. You're apparently not a free market, solution oriented person.
And you do nothing but shoot down solutions on this forum.
Tell me, what's your solution to this? Do you even have one?
