Today, Arizona. Tomorrow . . . Rhode Island?
Attorney General Eric Holder finally filed that long-rumored lawsuit challenging Arizonas new immigration law. In his opinion, only the federal government has the legal authority to enforce (read completely ignore) border security. If the Obama administration were convinced that Arizona would treat illegal immigration the same way the feds do, they wouldnt have bothered to sue.
Unfortunately, Arizonans seem to take the rule of law seriously. And this is a big problem for Team Obama.
Holder is worried that trained and knowledgeable local cops will actually prove that the law is enforceable, blowing his bosss cover. Remember President Barack Obamas claim last week that our borders are just too vast for us to secure them through enforcement, with fences and border patrols?
The borders too big. The hole in the Gulf is too deep. The recession is too stubborn. Maybe we should find the president a smaller, easier-to-manage country to govern. You know - send him to the minors for a few years.
Anyway, if enforcing immigration law is a bad thing for local cops to do, as Holder claims, why pick on Arizona? If hes really upset that the same laws he has taken an oath to enforce might actually get (gulp!) enforced, why isnt he suing Providence instead of Phoenix? Theyve been doing local immigration enforcement for years now.
As The Boston Globe-Democrat reported yesterday, From Woonsocket to Westerly, the troopers patrolling the nations smallest state are reporting all illegal immigrants they encounter, even on routine stops such as speeding, to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Even liberal Providence, where politicians long opposed any local enforcement efforts, changed its policy in 2008 after the infamous Marco Riz case.
Riz was the illegal immigrant arrested by Providence cops twice while...

Because they vote Democrat.
only western wuss countries have illegal immigration........many, many countries control their borders. even Mexico controls it’s borders better than we do. Iran, Egypt.....we will not even state that we should anymore. why? since we haven’t tried in decades, that proves nothing.
Ding-ding-ding! I believe we have a winner.
It’s not that enforcement might work. it’s that the Dims desperately need Hispanic votes in November...and they’re convinced that visibly looking the other way on illegals is the best way to curry favor with that part of their base.
He’s doing what he’s told, and in deed, he is breaking the Law. He should be charged with dereliction of Duty, criminal malfeasance in Office, and of willfully and aforethought, thwarting the Law in Conspiracy with the President of the United States. Who also is refusing to carry out his Constitutional duties to protect the borders of the United States from an invasion of illegal aliens into our country.
Sounds like a ‘High Crime’ to *me*!
Actually, it is demographics. If you add the birth rate and the immigration rate, then deduct the death rate, you come up with the population growth rate. Then you adjust that number with the median age and you get the labor supply.
Don't forget Chairman Greenspan's phrase, "robust labor supply".
.....Maybe we should find [obama] a smaller, easier-to-manage country to govern...
Yeah, like Kenya!
Or better yet, Burkina Faso!!!!
if you don’t protect your borders, you are giving your country away. that is a fake argument by industry to get cheap labor right here, so they don’t have to ship all our jobs overseas. one world government.......it’s their goal.
They are integrating northern Mexico, USA, and Canada under the Security and Prosperity Partnership.
They are integrating southern Mexico, Central America, and northern Columbia under Plan Puebla Panama.
They are integrating South America under IIRSA.
And they are going to use immigration reform to make everyone in the USA carry a Real ID with a microchip.

That won’t happen. There seems to be some unwritten agreement to not prosecute previous administration for anything they do. Look at all the crap that the Clinton’s pulled and ZERO investigations. The same will happen this time.
That’s the only reason the Rats haven’t tried to prosecute Bush for war crimes.
No, because he's pandering to a political base. So let him sue, let the Obama administration take it all the way through the courts, let the Supreme Court uphold the Arizona law (probably on a 5-4 vote), and let it be done with.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Mexican Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
Sound familiar?
thank you, it would be nice to have an Edit button
Because he works for one?????
I wonder what Obama will do after his cover is blown. He will probably corrupt ICE and associated agencies to turn loose all the illegals dropped on them by local law enforcement.
