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.

Hey Arizona, extradite them to San Francisco.
Fine by me. Just being in the US illegally is grand larceny, and even worse if they steal social services intended for citizens.
The law, which criminalizes being in the state illegally...Hmmmm...
Is this guy really interested in standing by this utterly vacuous statement?
Along with the Gitmo detainees.
Then he's a bigger fool than any of us ever dreamed. He's got a little over half a million troops under his "command", few of which would obey any order to militarily suppress the American population.
There are 90 million gun owners in America. 90 MILLION. If only one in ten were willing to resist tyranny by force, there would be 9 million guns pointing back at the much reduced military force that did obey those treasonous orders.
I sent her this a week ago:
I am writing to congratulate you on signing SB 1070 even in the face of harsh rhetoric and criticism from outsiders. I applaud your courage and urge you to stick to your guns in spite of the disgraceful actions of Los Angeles, San Francisco and the handful of other cities that are trying to punish your state for defending its citizens.
It's sad that many of those speaking out against the new law have not even read the bill, including our so-called Attorney General, Eric Holder. But you can rest assured that the majority of Americans are behind you.
I fully support Arizona in its efforts to curb illegal immigration and will go out of my way to buy from Arizona mail-order/Internet businesses.
If tyranny is truly upon us, we'll need something a little stronger than votes to remove the jackboot off our necks.
They do need to be told because NONE OF THEM HAVE READ IT.
They may have gone astray because they were addressed incorrectly: The name is Janet Incompetano.
Maybe they can't read. Considering that they're dim-bulb 0bama appointees, it wouldn't surprise me.
HCR 2034 Introduced by Representatives Johnson, Cooley ----------------------------------------------
A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
PROPOSING THE DISSOLUTION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IF CERTAIN CONDITIONS OCCUR.
Whereas, on July 4, 1776, our founding fathers proclaimed that the people had the right to alter or abolish their government and declared thirteen British colonies to be free and independent, or sovereign, states; and
Whereas, on March 1, 1781, the thirteen states formed a central government they called the United States of America under a charter known as the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, which stated that "each state retains its sovereignty, freedom and independence"; and
Whereas, on September 17, 1787, the leaders of the Continental Congress signed the present Constitution of the United States, which was then transmitted to the thirteen states for ratification and the formation of a new central government; and
Whereas, several of the states delayed ratification of the Constitution and three states made clear their position regarding sovereignty by stating that "the powers of government may be resumed by the people whensoever it shall become necessary to their happiness"; and
Whereas, eventually all thirteen of the independent states ratified the Constitution of the United States and joined the new Union, while retaining their sovereignty as states. The states made the new central government sovereign only to the extent that the states delegated to it limited and specific powers; and
Whereas, the Constitution of the United States is merely a treaty among sovereigns, and under treaty law when one party violates the treaty the other parties are automatically released from further adherence to it unless they wish to continue; and
Whereas, the fifty current principals, or signatories, to the treaty have done well in honoring and obeying it, yet the federal agent has, for decades, violated it in both word and spirit. The many violations of the Constitution of the United States by the federal government include disposing of federal property without the approval of Congress, usurping jurisdiction from the states in such matters as abortion and firearms rights and seeking control of public lands within state borders; and
Whereas, under Article V, Constitution of the United States, three- fourths of the states may abolish the federal government. In the alternative, if the states choose to exercise their inherent right as sovereigns, fewer than thirty-eight states may lawfully choose to ignore Article V, Constitution of the United States, and establish a new federal government for themselves by following the precedent established by Article VII, Constitution of the United States, in which nine of the existing thirteen states dissolved the existing Union under the Articles of Confederation and automatically superceded the Articles.
Therefore
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Arizona, the Senate concurring:
1. That when or if the President of the United States, the Congress of the United States or any other federal agent or agency declares the Constitution of the United States to be suspended or abolished, if the President or any other federal entity attempts to institute martial law or its equivalent without an official declaration in one or more of the states without the consent of that state or if any federal order attempts to make it unlawful for individual Americans to own firearms or to confiscate firearms, the State of Arizona, when joined by thirty-four of the other fifty states, declares as follows: that the states resume all state powers delegated by the Constitution of the United States and assume total sovereignty; that the states re- ratify and re-establish the present Constitution of the United States as the charter for the formation of a new federal government, to be followed by the election of a new Congress and President and the reorganization of a new judiciary, similarly following the precedent and procedures of the founding fathers; that individual members of the military return to their respective states and report to the Governor until a new President is elected; that each state assume a negotiated, prorated share of the national debt; that all land within the borders of a state belongs to the state until sold or ceded to the central government by the state's Legislature and Governor; and that once thirty-five states have agreed to form a new government, each of the remaining fifteen be permitted to join the new confederation on application.
2. That the Secretary of State of the State of Arizona transmit copies of this Resolution to the President of the United States, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives and each Member of Congress from the State of Arizona.
Wow!
Well, maybe so...but I sure don’t see anyone revolting...do you? He rules with an opposition that is too cowed and frightened to even stand against him with words...let alone anything else. You see something else? Show me then.
Escrow should be held in a credit union - not a bank under Fed. control.
“Obama isn’t a genius; as a Marxist, he hasn’t the least idea what is going to hit him unless he changes course.”
This was one of my posts to another thread, so we think alike. Though he has some very savvy folks working for him, when the confetti hits the fan, I suspect they will abandon him to cozy up with their offshore bank accounts.
I agree with everything you say.
Feds: “It’s OUR job to enforce the border”.
AZ: “OK, enforce the border.”
Feds: “It’s not our job to enforce the border.”
AZ: “OK, we will enforce the border.”
Feds: “Hey, that’s our job not to do!”
I saw the one right outside of Mazatlan once as we drove by back in 1990.
Capture and deport ALL illegals!!!!
IMPEACH the evil muslim obama and his entire corrupt and anti-American administration, as well as Pelosi and Reid!!!! Then try them for their many, many crimes!
Make new laws that will severely limit immigration from Third Word countries, and end Muhammadan immigration for good!!!!
The lawlessness of this administration of 0haha and his Chicago thugs is amazing.
Of course the country isn’t Chicago yet. So we need to yell and scream about this potential act of lawlessness.
