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.

“For the executive (branch) to say that we’re going to ignore it or we’re going to un-enforce immigration in this state on account of this is lawless.”...
Thanks.
I have been furiously studying tonight wherever I can, both from the FEDERAL and ARIZONA LAW positions, the situation of OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE. The U.S Justice Department and the President, if he specifically ordered it as they have threatened, in the State of Arizona as a retaliation against Arizona Law, to defacto impede or ignore federal crimes brought to their attention, would in fact be guilty of the Felony of "Obstruction of Justice", which justifies an Article of Impeachment from the House Judiciary Committee (or from any member that fact), brought to the Full House, against the President of the United States.
whether you like it or not the feds hold the power
cases against az will be going thru the courts
it hurt az when our republican led house and senate made budget cuts to public safety state agencies to balance the budget instead of increasing taxes on their own instead of taking it to the people of this state via proposition and won with a 2-1 margin.
No, it's excellent government.
So you are for open borders?
What does ICE have to do with our borders? Here in Arizona, the invasion is pouring through like **** through a tin whistle. The last ICE guy I saw was drinking coffee and eating donuts. His blue "ICE" windbreaker was pretty cool though.
If ICE doesn’t process illegals, they’re breaking the law. It’s their job to process illegals.
You've obviously been damaged during your time in the liberal mind control plantation.
I suggest you go back and study our Founding Documents to discover where the real power in this country lies.
So, because you don't see millions of militia members bearing down on DC right now, you don't think there's any will amongst the people to fight for their country?
Friend, a revolution doesn't just happen because the people are flaming mad. It takes a spark. Something that pushes the tension level just one notch too high, and then it breaks.
Obama's got the tension level almost as high as the American people can stand it, yet he's showing no signs that he's even aware of it.
Call it arrogance, false bravado, cocksureness, a lunatic mission complex, or just plain ignorance. Whatever it is, it's causing the pot to boil, which it can't continue to do forever.
If he doesn't quickly take stock of what's occurring and turn down the heat, something's going to give.
Maybe you've lived so long in relative peace, safety, and freedom, that you can't imagine such a thing ever occurring in this country, but I assure that people in every country where revolutions have occurred, felt something similar.
Even a casual review of this nation's early history will show that there are eerie parallels between what caused our ancestors to revolt against King George III, and what's happening today.
What you said in your previous post was: ...and there's not a damn thing anyone can do about it.
That's where you're simply dead wrong, my friend. You can do something about it. The only question is, will you?
Re your post #431. An excellent post. I believe you’re right on the money.
Much appreciated. Personally, I just think I'm stating what should be obvious to everyone in the country.
But, as in all great historical events, there are those who are keenly aware of what's happening, those who are taken by surprise at what's happening, and then those who wonder what happened.
Not true. They arrest 18 year olds who sleep with 17 year olds and put them on the "sex offenders" list.

Do you want to enforce immigration law or not?
ICE enforces the immigration law internally. If we dont do that, we have continues illegal immigration problems.
If ICE doesnt do its job, fire the President and get a President who will make ICE do its job.
This rebel from Alabama agrees with you 100%. If we do not act now, the American SW will be the new Kosovo - lost due to illegal alien invaders.
problem would be solved if Mexico would boycott Arizona!
Good point. I also wish Mexico would boycott the entire USA.
