It is good to be home. I spent a couple weeks traveling to DC and the Northeast. My son looked at a few colleges and took a class at Georgetown, but now we are home and ready for the push to school start and November elections.
I wrote earlier about the travesty of the United States ceding territory to the drug dealers from Mexico. The people in the state of Arizona recently passed legislation that will help them stem the flow of illegal immigration into the State. The Federal government, under the “leadership” of our socialist president has seen fit to sue Arizona for passing a law that covers enforcement activity that is a Federal responsibility. Unlike that idiot Holder, I actually read the law, and it mirrors the Federal statute on illegal immigration.
Holder decided that this law was terrible without reading it. Why does the Federal government believe they are the solver of all problems? Oh yea, they are a bunch of socialists! They have healthcare, car companies, banks, investment firms, mortgage lenders, and many other institutions that belong in the private sector. Those liberals believe they know what is best for us. Now they believe that they know what is best for Arizona.
Back when Big Sis Napolitano was governor of Arizona, she sent a bill to the Republican led Federal government for the cost of incarcerating illegal immigrants. The bill was for $217 million. I guess she thought it was a good political move and brought to attention the incredible hardship illegal immigration brings to the State of Arizona. She also declared a state of emergency along the border. Now that she is part of the socialist administration, I guess this is no longer an issue.
A recent study by Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) puts the cost of illegal immigration at $113 BILLION. Guess what part of this incredible figure the feds pay for: $29 billion. That leaves the states to pick up the rest of the tab. Why shouldn’t states pass laws to protect themselves?
The people of Arizona have the right to be secure. They have the right to protect themselves from the illegal invasion of their borders. They have the right to enforce laws that the representatives of the people enact. I am pro-immigration. Besides the fact that we are all immigrants, I and my brothers are married to women born outside this Country. Let me re-phrase, I am pro-legal immigration. If the Federal government wants to increase the number of immigrants allowed in the Country, adjust the quotas. We cannot afford to let this continuous flaunting of our laws to continue. The law abiding and tax paying citizens deserve to have their taxes and limited resources used to the betterment of the Country, not to have those hard earned taxes used to pay for the consequences of illegal immigration.
