(Fox) Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed into law a controversial immigration bill that seeks to crack down on illegal immigration. The sweeping measure will make it a crime under state law to reside in the country illegally. It will also require local police officers to question people about their immigration status if there's reason to suspect they are in the country illegally. The law will take affect 90 days after the current legislative session ends. Before signing the bill, Brewer called the measure "another step forward in protecting the state of Arizona." She said the bill represents another tool for Arizona to use as they work to solve a crisis that they didn't create and the federal government has refused to fix--the crisis caused by illegal immigration. She was right on the money. The last several administrations for 30+ years have allowed illegal immigrants to come through our porous borders and haven't done anything about the gangs and drug wars that's taken place across the United States and Mexico's border.
President Obama called the bill "misguided" and said it could violate people's civil rights. How? If you're not a legal U.S. citizen, then you don't possess rights as an American. Obama stated he's instructed the Justice Department to check the legality of it. The bill's Republican sponsor, State Representative Russell Pearce of Mesa, said Obama and other critics of the bill were against law enforcement, our citizens, and the rule of law. Civil rights activists said the bill would lead to racial profiling and deter Hispanics from reporting crimes. Gov. Brewer stated she wouldn't tolerate racial profiling. Hundreds of protesters gathered at the State Capitol complex today calling on Brewer to veto the immigration legislation. Protesters have been camping around Arizona since Monday when the bill passed the state legislature.
It's amazing how the liberal media and our liberal politicians try to paint this issue like it's a civil rights issue. Whose civil rights are they talking about? How about the civil rights of the rancher that was murdered by an illegal alien? What right do our politicians have in granting rights to illegals regardless of their race or nationality? It's not a racial issue. It's a borders and citizenship issue. The last two presidential administrations have wrecked our borders and President Obama is following along the same pathway. It's about the rule of law. The law that Jan Brewer passed mirrors the federal immigration laws that our elected elite refuse to enforce. Our elected elite are traitors for refusing to close our borders except at certain checkpoints. What needs to happen is there needs to be a triple-tiered fence built except at certain checkpoints to stem the flow of illegals in our country. We must do so in order to preserve our country. A country is defined by its borders and its culture. Some of the U.S.'s larger cities resemble Mexico City due to our borders not being secured. There are all kinds of gang violence in our country which happened as a result of a lack of proper enforcement of our borders. This must be stop or else the United States will no longer be the country as we know it.
I won't take the time in this blogpost but in a future blogpost I will cover the racial profiling issue in regards to illegal immigration. That subject needs to be covered. I believe racial profiling needs to be used when it's necessary. I don't believe it should be abused. It should be used when there's probable cause in trying to identify illegal aliens that are committing crimes in the U.S. I will also write out my own prescription for immigration reform, which you hear so many politicians making reference to. I applaud Jan Brewer for her courageous decision to sign this bill.
