UNDER OBAMA, Dept. HS is not HOMELAND SECURITY = PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP!
JUST AS OBAMA LIED THAT ILLEGALS WERE NOT INCLUDED IN OBAMACARE, HE’S LIED ENDLESSLY ABOUT OUR BORDER SECURITY AS HE’S SABOTAGED IT ENDLESSLY TO ASSURE HIS CORPORATE PAYMASTERS, LA RAZA, AND THE ILLEGALS THAT VOTED FOR HIM, THAT LEGALS ARE THEIR ENEMY!
MEANWHILE ENFORCEMENT IS ONLY THEATRICS, THE BUILDING OF THE WALL STOPPED, NO ENFORCEMENT OF AGAINST EMPLOYERS OF ILLEGALS, ASSAULT ON THE LEGALS IN ARIZONA, AND AN EVER GROWING NUMBER OF CITIES FALLING TO MEX OCCUPATION, CALLED “SANCTUARY CITIES” WHERE NO LEGAL NEED APPLY!

OBAMA TELLS ILLEGALS “PUNISH OUR ENEMIES”
Friends of ALIPAC,
Each day new reports come in from across the nation that our movement is surging and more incumbents, mostly Democrats, are about to fall on Election Day. Obama's approval ratings are falling to new lows as he makes highly inappropriate statements to Spanish language audiences asking illegal alien supporters to help him "punish our enemies."

Supreme Court Hears Challenge to Arizona Immigration Law -- The One Signed by Former Gov. Janet Napolitano
Thursday, December 09, 2010

(CNSNews.com) – Arizona’s Republican Gov. Jan Brewer came to the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday to hear arguments on an Arizona immigration law signed in 2007 by then-Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, a Democrat.
Both governors signed laws that the Obama administration opposes. Napolitano is now part of the Obama administration, serving as Homeland Security Secretary.
The law signed by Napolitano in 2007 (HB 2745) sanctions employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens, and it also requires employers doing business with the state of Arizona to use the federal government’s E-Verify database to confirm the legal status of workers.
Napolitano called the bill “flawed” but signed it anyway on July 2, 2007 because – as she said at the time – “It is now abundantly clear that Congress finds itself incapable of coping with the comprehensive immigration reforms our country needs.” In the same 2007 statement, Napolitano said the flow of illegal immigrants into Arizona was “due to the constant demand of some employers for cheap, undocumented labor.”
Gov. Brewer told CNSNews.com on Wednesday that the “moccasin” is on the other foot now that Napolitano is President Obama’s Homeland Security Secretary: “When she was governor, she made it very clear that she signed the bill because the federal government was not doing their job, and that’s exactly what the problem and issue is,” Brewer said. “I guess it all…depends on where your moccasins are setting (as) to what your reasoning is.”
Brewer said she’s confident that the Supreme Court will rule in Arizona’s favor, and she said a ruling upholding the 2007 law could be a harbinger for the future of SB 1070, the immigration bill that Brewer signed and which the U.S. Justice Department has challenged.
“I believe the (2007) employer-sanction bill will set a trend or position for states rights, and so I think that if we do win this case, then we will be further ahead with Senate Bill 1070,” Brewer said. “I believe we’re moving in the right direction for Arizona, and I believe we’re moving in the right direction for America.”
SB 1070 allows law enforcement officials who are investigating criminal activities to verify an individual’s legal status if they have probable cause to suspect that individual may be in the United States illegally.
The Justice Department’s case against SB 1070 claims that the Arizona law preempts the federal government’s right to enforce federal immigration law – and the same argument is being used to challenge the 2007 law signed by Napolitano.
The 2007 Legal Arizona Workers Act calls for employers who knowingly or intentionally employ illegal aliens to be fined for the first violation and to have their license suspended or revoked for a second violation.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and labor and civil rights groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, filed suit against Arizona, arguing that the law would be a “death sentence” for businesses.
In arguments before the Supreme Court Wednesday, the plaintiffs not only said the Arizona law preempts the federal government’s right to enforce immigration law, they also argued that the law is not consistent with the federal government’s stance that state participation in the E-Verify program is voluntary. (The federal government does require some employers to use E-Verify, including those who seek federal contracts.)
The Obama administration has assigned one of its top litigators to help the plaintiffs’ attorney argue the case.
In defending the 2007 law, Mary R. O’Grady, solicitor general for the state of Arizona, argued on Wednesday that the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act – which made it a federal offense to hire and employ illegal aliens -- reserved the right for states to deal with businesses that operate within that state, including the revocation of business licenses.
O’Grady argued that the E-Verify portion of the law reflects the federal government’s policy of helping states enforce federal immigration law.
A number of conservative groups are backing Arizona’s right to enforce laws that control illegal immigration, including the Eagle Forum Education and Legal Defense Fund and the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ).
“The issues at the center of this argument are crucial: whether states can take legislative action to protect their borders and citizens – without being trumped by the federal government,” the ACLJ said of the amicus brief it filed in the case. “The Arizona law complements federal law, and we’re hopeful that the high court will permit Arizona to take the legislative action it desires and its citizens deserve.
“In our amicus brief, we contend the Arizona law is a valid exercise of Arizona’s police powers,” that ACLJ said in its statement on the case. “State laws, like the Legal Arizona Workers Act, that mirror federal immigration provisions and incorporate federal standards promote national policy and should not be preempted.”
The ACLJ, contending that illegal immigration is a serious problem, also argued that the federal government “has proved inadequate to the tasks of enforcing current immigration laws and building consensus toward needed immigration reform.” The federal government has left the states to “cope on their own,” the ACLJ says.
A decision on the Napolitano-signed 2007 law is expected in June.

OBAMA’S LA RAZA INFESTED ADMINISTRATION
Michelle Malkin
The U.S. Department of Illegal Alien Labor
President Obama's Labor Secretary Hilda Solis is supposed to represent American workers. What you need to know is that this longtime open–borders sympathizer has always had a rather radical definition of "American." At a Latino voter registration project conference in Los Angeles many years ago, Solis asserted to thunderous applause, "We are all Americans, whether you are legalized or not."
That's right. The woman in charge of enforcing our employment laws doesn't give a hoot about our immigration laws –– or about the fundamental distinction between those who followed the rules in pursuit of the American dream and those who didn't.
While in Congress, she opposed strengthening the border fence, supported expansion of illegal alien benefits (including driver's licenses and in–state tuition discounts), embraced sanctuary cities that refused to cooperate with federal homeland security officials to enforce immigration laws, and aggressively championed a mass amnesty. Solis was steeped in the pro–illegal alien worker organizing movement in Southern California and was buoyed by amnesty–supporting Big Labor groups led by the Service Employees International Union. She has now caused a Capitol Hill firestorm over her new taxpayer–funded advertising and outreach campaign to illegal aliens regarding fair wages:
"I'm here to tell you that your president, your secretary of labor and this department will not allow anyone to be denied his or her rightful pay –– especially when so many in our nation are working long, hard and often dangerous hours," Solis says in the video pitch. "We can help, and we will help. If you work in this country, you are protected by our laws. And you can count on the U.S. Department of Labor to see to it that those protections work for you."
To be sure, no one should be scammed out of "fair wages." Employers that hire and exploit illegal immigrant workers deserve full sanctions and punishment. But it's the timing, tone–deafness and underlying blanket amnesty agenda of Solis' illegal alien outreach that has so many American workers and their representatives on Capitol Hill rightly upset.
With double–digit unemployment and a growing nationwide revolt over Washington's border security failures, why has Solis chosen now to hire 250 new government field investigators to bolster her illegal alien workers' rights campaign? (Hint: Leftists unhappy with Obama's lack of progress on "comprehensive immigration reform" need appeasing. This is a quick bone to distract them.)
Unfortunately, the federal government is not alone in lavishing attention and resources on workers who shouldn't be here in the first place. As of 2008, California, Florida, Nevada, New York, Texas and Utah all expressly included illegal aliens in their state workers' compensation plans –– and more than a dozen other states implicitly cover them.
Solis' public service announcement comes on the heels of little–noticed but far more troubling comments encouraging illegal alien workers in the Gulf Coast. Earlier this month, in the aftermath of the BP oil spill, according to Spanish language publication El Diario La Prensa, Solis signaled that her department was going out of its way to shield illegal immigrant laborers involved in cleanup efforts. "My purpose is to assist the workers with respect to safety and protection," she said. "We're protecting all workers regardless of migration status because that's the federal law." She told reporters that her department was in talks with local Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials who had visited coastal worksites to try to verify that workers were legal.
No word yet on whether she gave ICE her "we are all Americans, whether you are legalized or not" lecture. But it's a safe bet.
