AZ Immigration law SB1070

[sandy]

AZ's new law was just issued a temporary injunction on parts of the law. Cops can't ask about status if they suspect you're illegal. Also the state can't make it a state crime to be illegal citing it a Federal crime, not the state's right. Again: Only a temporary injunction. We'll see.

HMMMM...."States Rights". Didn't the people of this country have a disagreement over that very thing about 145 years ago?

I have already written to Senator Hutchison R-TX and Congressman Ortiz D-TX.

Ortiz is a member of the Hispanic Caucus, so my email may not even be translated into Spanish for him once his staff reads my surname.

I pretty much told both of them that I was appalled that the Feds strive so hard against US citizens  in support of  an invasion of foreign criminals.

Don't know if it will do any good, but I've done all I can about it, today.

"Justice Department spokeswoman Hannah August said the agency understands the frustration of Arizona residents with the immigration system, but added that a patchwork of state and local policies would seriously disrupt federal immigration enforcement. "

We can not burden the system messing with border jumpers...we still have Haitian voters to import and banks to bail out,maybe buy a few auto makers etc.... I mean REALLY! think about it! We would need a lot more Gov't employees to enforce federal law and Arizona wants to up the work load !    Where will we find the man power ??? It's not like there are Americans wanting federal jobs and benefits right now and I dont know if China would loan us the money to pay them anyhow!  We make NO money deporting democratic voters,they wont even pay fines and court costs It just is not good business sense.
