National Guard NOT Doing What in Arizona??

5:31 pm, August 10th, 2010 on White House, immigration

While I am an unabashed supporter of immigration, amnesty, guest worker programs and the whole shebang, I do not support illegal immigrants breaching our borders as they please. Securing borders, especially one rife with violence and criminal activity as the Mexican one is, is essential for any nation’s security.

We need to reinforce the Border Patrol with additional recruits and the National Guard as necessary to prevent any further. Janet Napolitano and Barack Obama have deployed the National Guard to the Arizona border, but:

The [National Guard] mission sets are criminal analysts and enter-identification teams. … guardsmen will not be doing direct law enforcement on the southwest border.

So, if the National Guardsmen won’t be doing “direct law enforcement,” what the hell will they be doing? Providing refreshments to the illegals, filling out guest books for our “visitors” and tanning in the Arizona sun?

That AZ Rancher Was Killed by an American

12:05 pm, May 3rd, 2010 on immigration

Who Killed You Boy?

Who Killed You, Boy?

Robert Krentz, the martyr for the cause of banning illegal immigration and a dead rancher from Arizona, was apparently murdered by an American and not a Mexican as was previously speculated.

Government officials and the police have been investigating American suspects. The obviously fake single footprints leading straight to Mexico, it seems, have failed in misleading the po-po to some illegal immigrant schmuck, despite Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever’s previous guarantees:

Given the location, (I) guarantee it was not somebody on their way to Walmart to go shopping

and,

We cannot sit by while our citizens are terrorized, robbed and murdered by ruthless and desperate people who enter our country illegally

If the murderer is indeed an American, Dever should be fired and sued for unnecessarily fanning the flames of racism and anti-immigration policies.

Rep. Duncan Hunter: Deport U.S.-born Citizens

4:21 pm, April 28th, 2010 on GOP, immigration

Congressman Duncan D. Hunter is just about as crazy as the former U.S. Rep. and his father Duncan Lee Hunter. In fact, he might have outdone DLH by claiming at a Tea Party event:

Q: Would you support deportation of natural-born American citizens that are the children of illegal aliens

DH: I would have to, yes… We simply cannot afford what we’re doing right now… It takes more than just walking across the border to become an American citizen. It’s what’s in our souls…

This is after he claimed that every single business in the U.S. should only employ “legal citizens” or “American citizens.” A business that doesn’t isn’t patriotic enough for him. The entire video is here:

I wonder how Hunter would have felt if the Native Americans had adopted this policy way when the Founding Fathers were landing on the shores of this country… I really do. For a country that is built upon the very concept of immigration, with at least 99% of its population being immigrants, Hunter’s comments ring truly hypocritical.

Facing Tough Primary, McCain Flips-Flops on Immigration

9:47 am, April 28th, 2010 on GOP, immigration

Match That, Hayworth

Match That, Hayworth

John McCain is proving to be a rather undependable independent – he apparently mastered the art of flip-flopping during the 2008 presidential election and is  further honing his skills now that he faces conservative JD Hayworth in the primary election for his Senate seat.

The sponsor of the eponymous Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act which included “legalization, guest worker programs, and border enforcement components” with focus on the first two, now thinks that Arizona’s DWC bill is completely acceptable and justifiable because: Read on »

Arizona’s New Crime Category: DWC

11:35 am, April 27th, 2010 on immigration

Guilty of Driving While Colored in Arizona

Guilty of Driving While Colored in Arizona

Driving While Colored is the latest crime on Arizona’s books and its cops have been actively and zealously enforcing it even before it was actually enacted into law.

An American citizen by birth was pulled over and handcuffed in Arizona simply because he was colored. Nothing more than his skin color and racial origin prompted his illegal arrest and detention.

U.S. citizens are not required to carry any documents pertaining to their citizenship, except when crossing international borders. There is no national I.D. card and both conservatives and liberals have opposed this measure.

Asking a U.S. citizen for his nationality documents is equivalent to the Nazis asking Germans for their identity documents.

President Obama opined correctly that the law and its enforcement measures:

undermine basic notions of fairness … If we continue to fail to act at a federal level, we will continue to see misguided efforts opening up around the country.

Arizona Doesn’t Like Cheap Labor

2:02 pm, April 15th, 2010 on GOP, immigration

Yeah?

Yeah?

In another dead-headed move to alienate the fast-growing Hispanic community, Republicans in Arizona have passed a bill making it illegal to be an illegal alien. The worst part:

It gives sweeping new powers to the local authorities to determine a person’s legal immigrant status – something which has traditionally been the domain of federal immigration.

I just cannot accept a traffic cop asking my legal status if I am pulled over for a traffic infraction. It’s like persecuting somebody for cocaine possession when the person was charged for assault, the cocaine evidence having been obtained illegally and significantly unrelated to the charge at hand.

Immigration groups have vowed to fight this abomination of a bill, and they should too.

Besides, illegal aliens provide cheap labor when and where it’s needed. I suppose Arizonans like to waste money on labor charges, instead of spending it where it’s needed.
