THE WHOLESALE INVASION OF 38 MILLION ILLEGALS, OVERWHELMINGLY FROM MEXICO, DID NOT HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT! THIS REQUIRED THE WHOLESALE LIES OF OUR OWN GOVERNMENT, NON-ENFORCEMENT OF EXISTING LAWS PROHIBITING THE EMPLOYMENT OF ILLEGALS, AND MEXICO’S PRINTING OF MAPS FOR THE GRINGO’S GOLDEN BORDER! WE ARE MEXICO’S WELFARE AND PRISON SYSTEM!
OBAMA IS IN A WIN-WIN SITUATION WITH HIS “REGISTERED ILLEGAL VOTERS”. HE SELLS US OUT TO LA RAZA “THE RACE”, AND GETS THE ILLEGALS’ VOTES, KEEPS WALL ST. HAPPY ABOUT THE CONTINUED DEPRESSED WAGES THIS CAUSES, OR CONTINUES THE LA RAZA DEMS’ NEVER ENDING UNOFFICIAL AMNESTY BY VIRTUE OF NON-ENFORCEMENT, OPEN BORDERS, NO WALL, AND NO BORDER GUARD.
EVEN AS MEXICAN GANGS HAVE NOW SPREAD FROM LOS ANGELES TO ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, HAULING THE MEXICAN DRUG CARTEL WITH THEM, OBAMA HAS STOPPED FUNDING ON THE WALL. LA RAZA PELOSI HAS LONG VOWED THE WALL WOULD NEVER BE BUILT, BUT THEN SHE’S LONG ILLEGALLY HIRED ILLEGALS AT HER NAPA WINERY. OBAMA HAS MADE WORK PLACE ENFORCEMENT A JOKE. HIS “ENFORCEMENT” IS NO MORE THAN A FORM LETTER HE SENDS OUT. WHERE HAVE YOU EVEN HEARD OF AN EMPLOYER OF ILLEGALS GOING TO JAIL FOR ILLEGALLY HIRING ONE OF OBAMA’S “UNREGISTERED VOTERS”?
EVEN WITH STAGGERING MEXICAN WELFARE, $600 MILLION IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY ALONE, STAGGERING UNEMPLOYMENT, STAGGERING CONTEMPT BY THE MEXICANS FOR OUR CULTURE, FLAG, AND LANGUAGE, OBAMA SIMPLY CAN’T HELP HIMSELF FROM HIS HISPANDERING!

Arizona Bill Cracks Down on Illegal Immigration
Frustrated with the federal government’s failure to secure the border and combat illegal immigration, Arizona lawmakers passed one of the toughest immigration enforcement laws in the nation last week. Entitled the “Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act,” SB 1070 passed the Arizona House on a 35-21 party-line vote last Tuesday after clearing the Senate in February. (FOX News, April 14, 2010). Governor Jan Brewer, who has argued for stringent immigration laws, is expected to sign the bill into law. (The Wall Street Journal, April 14, 2010).
SB 1070 gives Arizona law enforcement important tools to help fight illegal immigration. During lawful contact between an officer and an individual, the bill directs state and local officers to inquire into the immigration status of anyone who they reasonably suspect is in the country illegally. Under current law, officers can only inquire about someone’s immigration status if the person is suspected of another crime. (Los Angeles Times, April 13, 2010). Additionally, foreign nationals who fail to comply with federal laws that require them to carry proof of legal residency will be guilty of a state misdemeanor. (The Wall Street Journal, April 14, 2010). Arizona is the first state to make it a crime not to carry such documents. The bill also:
• Allows law enforcement officers to arrest aliens unable to provide documents showing they’re legally in the U.S.
• Prohibits local police agencies from adopting “sanctuary” policies that prevent law enforcement officers from checking the immigration status of people they stop or arrest.
• Makes it unlawful for a day laborer to solicit work in a public place.
• Prohibits would-be employers from blocking traffic when hiring laborers.
• Allows citizens to sue police agencies who do not comply with the law and government agencies that adopt policies that hinder the enforcement of immigration laws.
• Make it illegal for people to transport illegal aliens if the driver knows or recklessly disregards that the passengers are here illegally.
Amnesty forces are enraged by the new law, which they claim is fueled by “anti-immigrant hysteria.” (AZFamily News, April 13, 2010). Some went even further in their criticism, relying on hollow cries of racism to attack the enforcement measure. Chris Newman, legal director of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, said, “Arizona has long been a laboratory for anti-immigrant experimentation, and its demagogue leaders have become folk heroes for white supremacists throughout the United States.” (The Associated Press, April 14, 2010).
However, Arizona State Senator Russell Pearce (R-Mesa), the bill’s sponsor, counters that law-abiding immigrants are not his target, “It’s the drug cartels, gang members.” Id. Arizona is directly in the crossfire of the violent drug wars waging in Mexico and the state is the most popular point of entry for illegal aliens who come into the United States. (Los Angeles Times, April 13, 2010). Rep. John Kavanagh (R-Fountain Hills), a co-sponsor of the bill, stated, “Illegal immigration brings crime, kidnapping, drugs – drains our government services. Nobody can stand on the sidelines and not take part in this battle.” Id. Kavanagh said the legislation “gives our local police officers the tools they need to combat illegal immigration, while protecting the civil rights of citizens and legal residents.” (The Wall Street Journal, April 14, 2010). The legislation is especially timely in light of the escalating violence along Arizona’s border with Mexico and the recent gunning down of a rancher and his dog by a suspected illegal alien. (See FAIR’s Legislative Update, April 12, 2010; Legislative Update, April 5, 2010).
Perhaps the most outrageous claim amnesty advocates have made about SB 1070 is that it “mandates racial profiling of Latinos.” (Los Angeles Times, April 13, 2010). Pearce, a former cop known as a true immigration reformer, has heard this accusation before, and explains that the bill explicitly states officers “may not solely consider race, color or national origin” in forming a reasonable suspicion. (Arizona SB 1070). “You have to have lawful contact, reason to believe, and then can only arrest based on probable cause,” says Pearce. (AZFamily News, April 13, 2010). The bill simply “takes the handcuffs off of law enforcement and lets them do their job.” (Los Angeles Times, April 13, 2010). Police agencies are split over the bill; the Arizona Association of Chiefs of Police – made up of police chiefs who are politically appointed – is against it, while police unions support it. (KPHO Phoenix, April 15, 2010). Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, known for his aggressive enforcement of immigration laws, supports it, “Anybody we come across that is here illegally, pursuant to this new law especially, they’re going to jail.” Id.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and other groups have already pledged to sue to block the bill from taking effect if Governor Brewer signs it into law. (Los Angeles Times, April 13, 2010). According to these special interest groups, only the federal government has the authority to enforce immigration laws. Id. But these arguments ignore the fact that other state laws (with which FAIR and its legal affiliate IRLI have assisted), including Arizona’s 2008 law mandating the use of E-Verify, have withstood legal scrutiny. Through the enactment of this legislation, Arizona lawmakers are sending a clear message that they will not wait any longer for the federal government to take action. Speaker of the Arizona House Kirk Adams observed, “This is not a comprehensive solution. That’s not going to occur until the federal government takes up its responsibility to protect Arizona. But that doesn’t mean we should wait until then.” (The New York Times, April 14, 2010).
