Warning Signs Don’t Secure the Border

Captain Kickass and the jackals in the Administration in D.C. are still holding our border security hostage for “comprehensive immigration reform” (amnesty, actually). Arizona Governor Jan Brewer posted this on her website today:

PHOENIX –– Earlier this month, Governor Jan Brewer sat in the Oval Office with President Barack Obama to discuss the critical issue of border security. The Governor personally related to the President the concerns of millions of Arizonans over the lack of security on Arizona’s southern border. During their visit, President Obama committed to present details, within two weeks of their meeting, regarding his plans to commit National Guard troops to the Arizona border and commit to spend $500 million in additional funds on border security.

Two weeks have come and gone and still it’s all talk and no action. (more)

Quote of the Week

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer answered a letter from Senator Charles Schumer (D – NY) with a letter of her own. In it, she wrote the following comparison:

I love the simple logic of stopping two types of leaks of disastrous proportion with identical procedures – plug the leaks first.

Read her letter – it contains an outline of her immigration plan.

Reading the Arizona Immigration Law

azjobs150px.jpgI read the entire Arizona Immigration Law, SB 1070, today. Throughout the entire bill, there is language invoking the laws of the United States as a guideline for the law. In other words, they are NOT inventing any new or bizarre anti-immigration laws – they’re just requiring that the Federal Laws be followed under the new Arizona statute.

As for racial profiling, the language below appears in every major subsection of the new law. President Obama, his cabinet members, Mexican President Felipe Calderon, most major media and all the Democrats are lying to you when they say the new law targets a specific race or creed.

A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIAL OR AGENCY OF THIS STATE OR A COUNTY, CITY, TOWN OR OTHER POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF THIS STATE MAY NOT CONSIDER RACE, COLOR OR NATIONAL ORIGIN IN IMPLEMENTING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS SUBSECTION EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE UNITED STATES OR ARIZONA CONSTITUTION.

Go ahead – READ IT and see.

Arizona Official Threatens to Cut Off Los Angeles Power as Payback for Boycott

skyline.jpgIf Los Angeles wants to boycott Arizona, it had better get used to reading by candlelight.

That’s the message from a member of Arizona’s top government utilities agency, who threw down the gauntlet Tuesday in a letter to Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa by threatening to cut off the city’s power supply as retribution.

Gary Pierce, a commissioner on the five-member Arizona Corporation Commission, wrote the letter in response to the Los Angeles City Council’s decision last week to boycott the Grand Canyon State — in protest of its immigration law — by suspending official travel there and ending future contracts with state businesses.

Read the rest.

Payback is a bitch, Angelinos. I hope that San Fran, Austin, San Diego and Seattle get the message. Arizona will not be intimidated.

Immigration Front: DMV Helping Illegals

dmv.pngIn the midst of absurd liberal cries of Nazism following the passage of the new Arizona immigration law, four employees of the California Department of Motor Vehicles were arrested for conspiring to sell false driver’s licenses and registrations to, among others, illegal immigrants. They were charged with grand theft, illegal computer access, bribery, and using documents to conceal immigration status, but perhaps they should be thanked for exposing yet another troubling aspect of illegal immigration. These DMV employees, no doubt, were not going to do background checks on those to whom they were issuing falsified documents — whether those who had come to the U.S. to work, or those who had come here to conspire against us.
