Some may argue that this will just push illegal aliens into neighboring states. This is true, which is why other states need to pass laws which make life difficult for those who ignore our laws. So, where will all these people go? I have a few ideas.

After the law was passed, San Francisco and Los Angeles both announced boycotts against Arizona. Perhaps those cities would be good destinations for illegal aliens. After all, these cities don’t mind paying almost $15,000 per year to educate each of their children, or the strain they will place on their city. As a matter of fact, I often hear advocates of illegal immigration and open borders talk about how illegal aliens add much more to their community than they take. If that’s true, we would expect to see an economic renaissance in those cities. Hopefully, it will happen and we will see the true affect of illegal immigration.

The group came into the United States illegally, then started assaulting federal agents. Despite this, Felipe Calderone says Mexico “will use all resources available to protect the rights of Mexican migrants.”

Did I miss something? These individuals crossed the border illegally, then assaulted the men and women responsible for enforcing our laws. Calderone should be happy that U.S. agents showed as much restraint as they did.

Someone needs to tell Felipe Calderone that the United States doesn’t own anything to Mexico. We’re not under any obligation to take their citizens, and we will not have our laws called into questions by foreign countries. Especially when that country has more stringent laws than our own.

The perfect person to address this situation would be the President. Unfortunately, we are currently stuck with a man who seems to favor open borders and has a disdain toward border protection. I still haven’t heard any comments from Barack Obama on this topic, but I’m sure he will find a way to blame the border patrol and apologize to the lawless Mexican citizens.

While gangs, kidnapping, and drug trafficking are running rampant in Arizona, Barack Obama is cracking jokes. Do you still wonder why illegal immigration is such a problem? Mr. Obama and his fellow leftists should just come out and advocate an open borders policy once and for all. After all, his administration is acting like it is already our policy.

Mexico's treatment of migrants has been criticized by Amnesty International

The Mexican government has criticized Arizona for passing a law which would essentially enforce federal immigration laws. Mexico, which often assists its huddled masses in escaping its economic wasteland for the promise to be found in the United States, lacks credibility on the issue. Rather than criticizing its neighbor to the north, it should focus on the serious problems within its own borders.

Amnesty International has referred to Mexico’s treatment of migrants as “a human rights crisis“. According to Amnesty International, many migrants are are beaten, raped or murdered. For those who are victimized, there isn’t much recourse. Here’s an excerpt from Article 67 of Mexico’s population law:

“Authorities, whether federal, state or municipal … are required to demand that foreigners prove their legal presence in the country, before attending to any issues.”

I’m strongly in favor of increasing border security and removing as many illegal aliens from the United States as possible, but I find Mexico’s law to be a disgrace to the country. Basically, it gives Mexican criminals carte blanche to victimize foreigners who are in the country illegally.

Is there a bigger hypocrite on the planet than the Mexican government? They don’t want their citizens who are in the United States illegally to be deported back to their home country, yet they see nothing wrong with allowing migrants to be repeatedly victimized by its own criminals. Mexico’s opinions on our immigration policy are meaningless, yet after reading about their treatment of migrants, it has managed to become even less worthy of consideration.

“This is not good for the country. I don’t agree with it,” he said. “We love immigrants here.”

“We have to get real about the 12 million undocumented here,” the mayor said. “We’re not going to deport them. Give them permanent status. Don’t make them citizens unless they can qualify, but give them permanent status and let’s get on with this.”

Here’s my favorite Bloomberg quote…

“This country is committing national suicide.”

Could someone please tell Michael Bloomberg that Arizona’s law isn’t meant to drive out immigrants, it’s meant to make life diffficult for illegal immigrants. You know, the immigrants who come here illegally by breaking laws and demonstrating a blatant disrespect for the United States? By the way, isn’t it funny how liberals always seem to drop the work illegal? I think it’s because they know their arguments are on weak footing, so they need to twist the truth to try and distract people from their faulty reasoning.

As for Bloomberg’s remark about the United States committing national suicide, I agree with the wording but not it’s application in this situation. Deporting illegal aliens is not national suicide. In fact, I would argue that the exact opposite is true. Doing nothing will lead to a steady decline in everything that makes America great.

If you don’t think this is true, think about how unfettered illegal immigration will lead to balkanization of the United States along ethnic and linguistic lines. Think about how illegal aliens are driving down wages and taking jobs from Americans. If millions of illegal aliens were deported, millions of jobs would immediately open up at reasonable wages. This is the truth, and to use Michael Bloomberg’s words, ignoring the truth is to commit national suicide.

As I looked at the list, I noticed that 3 of the states are along the Mexican border and have a large number of illegal aliens entering the state. Well, it looks like New York and Florida are in the same boat. It turns out that California (1), Texas (2), New York (3), Florida (5), and Arizona (6) make up five out of the top six states with the most illegal aliens. Is this merely a coincidence? Could some other variable be at work? That’s certainly possible, but you must admit that it is some coincidence.

No one should be surprised by the poor participation rates among illegal aliens. We are required by law to complete the Census. Of course, why would illegal aliens pay any attention to that small detail? They’ve already trespassed into the country and possibly broken other laws such as using fake I.D., identity theft, or related crimes. What’s one more infraction?

The next time you hear someone tell you that illegal aliens bring a positive benefit to America, remember this article. Remember how the U.S. will need to pay Census workers up to $25 per hour to track down those who didn’t fill out there forms, and how many of these individuals happen to be from states with large numbers of illegal aliens. Also remember how many of the people who don’t fill out the Census will be the ones who use the resources denied to their state because of their lack of participation.

Do you still think illegal aliens have a positive net benefit?

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.

John McCain loves to point out the time he spent fighting for the United States, along with his time as a P.O.W. That’s why I find it shocking that he would refuse comment on the bill and brush off questions about his opinion by saying it’s a “state issue.” He’s certainly correct, but as a long-time citizen of that state, he has every right to comment on it, and the voters have every right to know where he stands on the issue. Of course, I can probably guess where he stands.

We’re talking about a man who teamed up with the Bush administration on a bill that would have provided a path to citizenship granted amnesty to millions of people who ignored our laws and deserve to be categorized as criminals. John McCain deserves to lose in 2010, and I’m confident he will.

This is exactly the type of law more states should enact. Bleeding heart liberals who look at the United States as the world’s homeless shelter seem to ignore the convenient fact that illegal aliens are breaking federal laws and trespassing. In the words of Sen. Russell Pearce:

“When you come to America you must have a permission slip, period,” said state Sen. Russell Pearce, the Mesa Republican who sponsored the bill. “You can’t break into my country, just like you can’t break into my house.”

Well said Senator.

The next step is to keep our eyes on the immigration reform bill. Obamacare won’t provide health insurance for illegal aliens, but it will provide help for legal immigrants. If the 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens in the United States receive amnesty, won’t that make them legal? Won’t they then be eligible for subsidized health care? It certainly looks that way to me.

Would you expect any less from the Obama administration? Subsidized goods and services, which will all have more recipients if amnesty is allowed yet again, will further increase our national debt. A whole new group of individuals will be added to the dependent class known as Democrats, while the increased number of dependent supporters will ensure a study march toward socialism.

Thanks to Barack Obama and progressive Democrats, our nation is turning further and further away from what made us great, until one day, it will be unrecognizable.
