Obama Wrong Again on Arizona

In today's Conservative Review, Pat Buchanan, hits a home run when he discusses the Arizona Immigration Law. We need to support Arizona on this issue. Until the national government decides it must ENFORCE the laws of this country, things will only disintegrate. Do we really want Mexican drug cartels having free access to the United States to spread their poison? Do we want unrestricted access by any foreign national to the country? Why is it that we can know where every cow in this country was born, raised, sold and butchered but we cannot control our borders?

For those of you who believe this asking someone to see their drivers license is just like Nazi Germany, I suggest you refuse to present that document when you are trying to make a withdrawal at the bank, purchase medicene at the pharmacy or when you get stopped by a police officer. We present our documents every day.

Additionally, try to go to Mexico without documents. You cannot. A foreigner must have a passport and if they are staying more than 30 day must have a visa. A vacationer can stay in the border area for three days on his/her passport. If they are there on business there are forms that one must fill out regarding their visit. If you don't believe this, go to the Mexican government site-- www.mexonline.com/mexcustoms.htm.
Our priorities are way out of whack and it is time that someone has done something about it. Congratulations Arizona, I commend you.

THE CONSERVATIVE REVIEW - April 30, 2010

Whose Country Is This?
by Pat Buchanan

With the support of 70 percent of its citizens, Arizona has
ordered sheriffs and police to secure the border and remove
illegal aliens, half a million of whom now reside there.

Arizona acted because the U.S. government has abdicated its
constitutional duty to protect the states from invasion and
refuses to enforce America's immigration laws.

"We in Arizona have been more than patient waiting for
Washington to act," said Gov. Jan Brewer. "But decades of
inaction and misguided policy have created an unacceptable
situation."

We have a crisis in Arizona because we have a failed state
in Washington.

What is the response of Barack Obama, who took an oath to
see to it that federal laws are faithfully executed?

He is siding with the law-breakers. He is pandering to the
ethnic lobbies. He is not berating a Mexican regime that
aids and abets this invasion of the country of which he is
commander in chief. Instead, he attacks the government of
Arizona for trying to fill a gaping hole in law enforcement
left by his own dereliction of duty.

He has denounced Arizona as "misguided." He has called on
the Justice Department to ensure that Arizona's sheriffs
and police do not violate anyone's civil rights. But he
has said nothing about the rights of the people of Arizona
who must deal with the costs of having hundreds of
thousands of lawbreakers in their midst.

How's that for Andrew Jackson-style leadership?

Obama has done everything but his duty to enforce the law.


Undeniably, making it a state as well as a federal crime
to be in this country illegally, and requiring police to
check the immigration status of anyone they have a "reason-
able suspicion" is here illegally, is tough and burdensome.
But what choice did Arizona have?

The state has a fiscal crisis caused in part by the burden
of providing schooling and social welfare for illegals and
their families, who consume far more in services than they
pay in taxes and who continue to pour in. Even John McCain
is now calling for 3,000 troops on the border.

Police officers and a prominent rancher have been murdered.
There have been kidnappings believed to be tied to the
Mexican drug cartels. There are nightly high-speed chases
through the barrios where innocent people are constantly
at risk.

If Arizona does not get control of the border and stop
the invasion, U.S. citizens will stop coming to Arizona
and will begin to depart, as they are already fleeing
California.

What we are talking about here is the Balkanization and
breakup of a nation into ethnic enclaves. A country that
cannot control its borders isn't really a country anymore,
Ronald Reagan reminded us.

The tasks that Arizonans are themselves undertaking are
ones that belong by right, the Constitution and federal
law to the Border Patrol, Immigration and Customs Enforce-
ment, and Homeland Security.

Arizona has been compelled to assume the feds' role because
the feds won't do their job. And for that dereliction of
duty the buck stops on the desk of the president of the
United States.

Why is Obama paralyzed? Why does he not enforce the law,
even if he dislikes it, by punishing the businessmen who
hire illegals and by sending the 12 million to 20 million
illegals back home? President Eisenhower did it. Why won't
he?


Because he is politically correct. Because he owes a big
debt to the Hispanic lobby that helped deliver two-thirds
of that vote in 2008. Though most citizens of Hispanic
descent in Arizona want the border protected and the laws
enforced, the Hispanic lobby demands that the law be
changed.

Fair enough. But the nation rose up as one to reject the
"path-to-citizenship" -- i.e., amnesty -- that the 2007
plan of George W. Bush, McCain, Hillary Clinton and Barack
Obama envisioned.

Al Sharpton threatens to go to Phoenix and march in the
streets against the new Arizona law. Let him go.

Let us see how many African-Americans, who are today frozen
out of the 8 million jobs held by illegal aliens that might
otherwise go to them or their children, will march to
defend an invasion for which they are themselves paying
the heaviest price.

Last year, while Americans were losing a net of 5 million
jobs, the U.S. government -- Bush and Obama both -- issued
1,131,000 green cards to legal immigrants to come and take
the jobs that did open up, a flood of immigrants equaled
in only four other years in our history.

What are we doing to our own people?

Whose country is this, anyway?

America today has an establishment that, because it does
not like the immigration laws, countenances and condones
wholesale violation of those laws.

Nevertheless, under those laws, the U.S. government is
obligated to deport illegal aliens and punish businesses
that knowingly hire them.

This is not an option. It is an obligation.

Can anyone say Barack Obama is meeting that obligation?
