Top Official Says Feds May Not Process Illegals Referred From Arizona
Fox News ^ | May 21, 2010 | Fox News

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.

This is another major step in the destruction of this nation. Let them in, do not prosecute, let them claim humanitarian status which the UN and the rogues in DC will support...and then turn the land over to them...it happened in Kosovo and it will happen here.

Time for Arizona to secede. Apparently, Obama does not recognize Arizona as a State. Why should Arizona recognize the US as a nation?

If the federal 0bamunist regime is unwilling to enforce the law, then Arizona should convict those apprehended under the law, Sheriff Joe should be tasked with the responsibility of escorting the illegals to the border with Mexico, and tell 'em to start walking and don't even think about looking back, let alone turning around. The ominous sound of "CLACK-CLACK" ought to convince those exiting our Nation.

I’m still waiting for the party leader or some prominent Republican in Congress to step up and accuse the Democrats of endangering this countries security by signaling to the world that entering this country illegally will come without consequence.

Arizona should secede

We ALL should secede, except the District of Columbia New Kenya New Chicago. We could call ourselves something fresh, something catchy. Like THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Ok. Adopt Federal law. It's a heck of a lot tougher, and the Feds will have to deal with their own law.
Then send all the illegals to the blue states. They love the criminal drug gangs there.

Arizona needs to provide FREE One Way BUS RIDES to California for anyone crossing the border - No Questions Asked. Just board the bus and take a nice air conditioned ride to the next border.

So Arizona needs to compensate for lack of federal enforcement which they cannot afford. Here is how. LEGISLATE that henceforth, since the feds will not pay their fair share, and since the feds will not enforce immigration law on AZ’s borders, and since AZ can no longer afford to capture, jail, offer free education and medical assistance to any more illegals, from this day forward, ANYONE coming across the border illegally will be shot on sight, no exceptions.
Tell it to the Mexican government and make the border THEIR responsibility. They are warned.
Was in a place where there were threatened riots. Mayor roped off a six block area and ordered the police to shoot to kill anyone who crossed over that rope.
Everyone went home.

Folks, this indeed is a tyrannical government...arrogant, lawless, anti-American, and dare I say, many of them quite possibly EVIL. We are righteously angry, venting, and more than ready to throw them out of office when elections come up. But, if that for some reason does NOT happen, we need to have a plan B and we have to have the will and be prepared for what that means.

2 Thessalonians2 7For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.

“The law, which criminalizes being in the state illegally and requires authorities to check suspects for immigration status, is not “good government,” Morton said.”

“The law, which criminalizes driving illegally and requires authorities to check suspects for license status, is not “good government,” Morton said.”

“The law, which criminalizes avoiding the income tax illegally and requires authorities to check suspects for filing status, is not “good government,” Morton said.”

“The law, which criminalizes taking money from banks illegally and requires authorities to check suspects for stolen property, is not “good government,” Morton said.”

Shall I keep going?

The feds won't process? Well this could get interesting.

The feds can be forced to process.

US Constitution, Article IV, S.4:

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

The feds refusing would be grounds for succession.

Isn’t that convenient? Enforce the laws you think are good and ignore the rest. I mean, it’s only the LAW. And who’s suggesting to ignore the law? The federal government!
