Governor Brewer's actions are supported by the majority of Americans. While enforcing federal law by itself won't completely elminate the problem, she stated that the Arizona enforcement of the federal law was one of many tools to address the problem. The American people support that and demand that the federal government do the same without compromise. Further, why does this administration refer to "illegal aliens" as "undocumented immigrants?" They violated our laws when they criminally breached our borders and continue to violate our laws when they pass themselves off as legal citizens or legal immigrants. They are neither. They are ?illegal aliens,? border jumpers, felons, etc. Any citizen or governmental agency that turns a blind eye is just as guilty. Therefore, President Obama, Attorney General Holder and their compliant minions are guilty of conspiracy to commit a felony. As for Judge Bolton and her administration inspired and staged decision; she is just a simple idiot who needs to go back to school. There will be no watered down compromise on immigration. This will be rectified soon enough during the coming ?Regime Change? at the ballot box in 2010 and 2012. Stay tuned.

There is hope for sanity...

Apparenty 2 Senators are drafting legislation that make all those here illegally return home. The idea is to free up 8 million contraband jobs so that US citizens and legal immigrants can have them. Here is the article, if anyone is interested.

NO - the ruling will not keep the border safe. Instead of President Obama attacking Americans in Arizona - he should be securing the border and enforcing federal immigration law. If the federal government was doing it's job, Arizona would have never had to resort to creating a state law. It is entirely the fault of this administration.

Secondly: For those who advocate a single payer government run health care system, this is an example of what you can expect in health care coverage. Anyone who wishes to be at the mercy of the federal government for health care, has not really thought it through.

It sounds like Mexico is running our country. Part of the government's case was that they were afraid of hurting Mexico's feeling with the new law. The democrats gave the Mexican president a standing O when he gave his speech running down our country to Congress a few weeks ago. How sad.

The truth is.....the Federal government does not WANT to stop the illegal immigration, because Mexico does not want it stopped.

It is Mexico's 2nd largest income source for the entire country (after drugs), and they want the US to continue to allow for billions of OUR tax dollars to go towards providing services for THEIR citizens, in OUR country.

What we have here, is a process of leeching, which our politicians are condoning. It is up to the citizens to vote any legislator out of office, that does NOT support stopping illegal immigration. Period!
