Thank you Jan Brewer

I’d like to take a moment to thank Arizona Governor Jan Brewer for signing a bill into law which will greatly reduce the number of illegal aliens entering the United States along the Mexican border. The law will make it a crime to be in the United States illegally, and will allow police officers to request individuals to prove citizenship. Of course, there are many detractors with their own agendas who don’t care about the destruction caused by illegal aliens.

You would expect to hear about some local groups criticizing the law, but criticism is coming from some unusual places. Namely, the Mexican and Guatemalan governments. I guess they’re afraid their citizens won’t be allowed to trespass into the U.S., steal American jobs, then send remittances back home. What will Mexico do without all the money its citizen invaders send home? They’ll have to actually work on trying to improve their country so their citizens want to stay.

What I also have trouble with is the opposition of Latinos who are legal citizens. I can’t understand why people who may have waited years to come to the U.S. and endured great hardship, expense, and uncertainty, would support common criminals. Of course, there’s no shortage of Latino groups who are fanning the flames and scaring people by talking about how the law will be targeting “immigrants”. In truth, the law is actually targeting “illegal immigrants”, but of course, being truthful and including the word “illegal” might actually result in many Latinos not being scared, and leave many citizens in agreement with the law. After all, we can’t allow the truth to get in the way of their propaganda campaign.

We need to gain control of our borders so we can control how many people are allowed into the United States each year. This is important for economic, cultural, and safety reasons. Unfortunately, many don’t understand these points, including Barack Obama. This excerpt demonstrates the disconnect between Barack Obama, the American people, and common sense:

Obama called the Arizona bill “misguided” Friday and instructed the Justice Department to examine it to see if it’s legal. He also said the federal government must enact immigration reform at the national level — or leave the door open to “irresponsibility by others.”

“That includes, for example, the recent efforts in Arizona, which threaten to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans, as well as the trust between police and their communities that is so crucial to keeping us safe,” Obama said.

Make no mistake: Barack Obama’s idea of fairness is to offer amnesty to 12 million illegal aliens who have already shown disdain for our laws, and an apparent lack of interest in assimilating. Do you really think Barack Obama is going to guard the border? Jail business owners who give American jobs to illegal aliens? Deport those who spit on our laws? No way. After all, he’s already ordering the Justice Department to examine Arizona’s law, so legal challenges will be right around the corner.

Arizona also requested an additional 3,000 troops to help protect the border. Have they arrived yet? No. Will they ever arrive? I wouldn’t count on it. Obama also let his opinion be known when his buddy Skip Gates threw a temper tantrum when a police officer reported to a call (remember the “beer summit”?). Did he make any mention of the Arizona rancher who was allegedly murdered by illegal aliens? None that I know of.

Barack Obama has let the country know what is important to him: Protecting individuals who break the law. As for Governor Jan Brewer, she is being forced to take care on the work the federal government has failed. My hope is that more states follow Arizona’s lead by making life difficult for illegal aliens. 50 different attempts to come up with immigration laws aren’t ideal, but in the presence of a leader who ignores the law, it’s our best hope.
