A Growing Immigration Battle in the United States


By Douglas V. Gibbs

The Democrats are calling for amnesty for illegal aliens in the United States, a proposal they have been dubbing a "path to legalization." Their plan is supposed to include what they consider comprehensive immigration reform that secures the borders, enforces our laws, protects our workers, honors family unification and has a path to legalization. If you forgive illegal entry into the United States, you will encourage such illegal activity to continue, and to increase. Therefore, if you create a "path to legalization" by way of amnesty, you destroy any chance we have of securing our borders, enforcing our immigration laws, and protecting American workers.

Broken borders are simply not something we can compromise on. The truth is clear. A nation without borders is not a nation. The laws in the U.S. Code and the Immigration and Naturalization Act are there for a reason. If Washington DC was willing to enforce those laws, legislation like SB 1070 in Arizona would not be necessary.

The Arizona law has received a great deal of attention, and has been criticized for being a law that promotes profiling, and condones forcing everyone to "have their papers." However, those who use those arguments have clearly failed read Arizona's immigration law.

After President Obama attacked the Arizona bill with false accusations that made it clear he had not read the bill, Governor Jan Brewer had a few things to say in response. And as Arizona has refused to back down, Washington’s comedy of errors has grown far worse, with top cabinet officials admitting that they haven’t even read Arizona’s new immigration law.

The fact that Obama, and his gang of idiots, haven't even been willing to read the Arizona law, while freely commenting on it, and condemning it, is absolutely ludicrous. Reminds me of Obama jumping all over the Connecticut Police without having all of his facts straight.

Or perhaps they have another reason for their criticisms of Arizona.

Arizona's message is simple, and clear. The federal government has not been enforcing the law, and Arizona believes they must. They have specifically written the law to ensure that profiling cannot be used, that the suspect cannot be apprehended for just looking illegal (there must be lawful contact regarding a separate issue), and that the police must be able to articulate their reasonable suspicions for believing that suspect is illegal.

The Democrats, being quick to jump all over Arizona's law, and accusing it of promoting racial profiling, have failed to look in the mirror. As they accuse the Arizona law of racial profiling, even though the law has specific provisions in it that say otherwise, the liberals fail to realize that the immigration laws contained in U.S. Code and the Immigration and Naturalization Act do not disallow racial profiling. In other words, they are accusing Arizona of being guilty of what the federal government does not prohibit.

California's Penal Code Section 834b calls for local law enforcement to do the same thing that the new Arizona law calls for, except like the federal law, California's immigration law also does not disallow racial profiling. Yet, it is the Arizona law that Los Angeles and San Francisco are boycotting over, and it is Arizona's law that the people that support the illegal alien law breakers are up in arms about.

The reason the federal law and California's law is not their concern is because those laws are not being enforced. Special Order 40 in Los Angeles actually disallows the LAPD from asking about legal status. Arizona, however, fed up with the lack of enforcement of the U.S. Code by the federal government, was willing to stand up and ensure the law was enforced themselves. The safety of Arizona residents demanded enforcement. With the highest kidnapping rate in nation, violence against Arizona citizens by illegal aliens, and a drug war spilling over the border, Arizona had little choice.

The willingness of Arizona to take a stand poses a threat to the illegal invasion. Complacency is tolerated by the invaders, but enforcing the law encourages the illegal aliens to deport themselves.

A nation without borders is not a nation. Every other country enforces their own immigration laws; why should the United States be any different?

For the illegal aliens it is all about taking. They have no desire to join America, their desire is to take from our system until our society is destroyed, and it ultimately belongs to them.

The Democrats see this as an opportunity. Amnesty, for the Left, represents more votes, and more power. They could care less about what is right and wrong, and they underestimate the enemy in our midst. The law means nothing to these liberals if the law interferes with their ability to gain power in perpetuity.

The Law, however, when it comes to illegal immigration, is but a minor part of a much bigger picture. As the fools of La Raza dream of taking back the American Southwest for Mexico, one in three illegal aliens that cross the border are of Middle Eastern descent. In other words, the Islamic Jihad we are at war with is literally walking across our open borders (and that is in addition to the home-grown Muslim jihadists that seem to be appearing at will).

La Reconquista de Aztlán and the Islamic Jihad are working to dismantle America, and blind to that fact is the Left's lust for power and control through the creation of a centralized government. All of the political correctness in the world won't change the fact that the United States is under attack, and the fools of government can't see that. Our national security is at stake, and since the federal government will not enforce the immigration laws that protect this nation, the states must do so themselves by flexing their Constitutional sovereignty.

Arizona, with SB 1070, has begun the fight to save this nation from invasion. Rather than being criticized, the leaders of that state should be thanked.
