When did it become acceptable for elected officials who are sworn to uphold and defend the laws of cities, towns, counties, states and the Federal government to pick and choose which laws are enforced?
No matter the administration, those on the right or left side of the aisle, our elected leaders at many levels have failed in their sworn duty to uphold and enforce US law.
Their collective failure is beyond despicable.
In 1989 when the first Immigration Reform Bill became law many promises were made. Found here, in a study of INS numbers it showed that the population of illegal aliens had blossomed in 1997 to 5 million, http://www.cis.org/1996IllegalImmigrantPopulation-INS
In 1989, our government promised to seal the border.
In 1989, our government promised to make sure that all who worked in the United States would be legal citizens or have 'green' cards.
Since 1989, every employer did and still does have to be certain that an
I-9 is on file to prove that the person hired has proper photo identification and a valid Social Security Card, and can legally work in the United States, all of them, including santuary cities.
Since that law was passed the sieve that has become our southern border is shameful.
Our immigration problems rage out of control.
In direct violation of the 1996 federal law , the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act ( IIRIRA ) many cities both large and small have chosen to designate themselves as sanctuary cities. The IIRIRA law of 1996 requires local governments to cooperate with Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
However many large urban cities and some small communities have adopted what are called "sanctuary policies." In broader terms, this means that sanctuary policies instruct city employees to break Federal law and not report the presence of illegal aliens living in their communities to the federal government. The policies also end the distinction between legal and illegal immigration--so illegal aliens often benefit from city services too.
Nationally the impact of this lunacy has caused an explosion of budget strains for every state with a border common to Mexico. Healthcare, education, law enforcement and community services provided to these law breakers are wrecking economies in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
A list of sanctuary cities can be found here, http://www.ojjpac.org/sanctuary.asp
As a direct result of administrations from both sides of the aisle's refusal to enforce federal law and make our borders secure, along with policies that enable those who have entered this country illegally to take advantage of don't ask don't tell employment practices we now have over 13 million illegal aliens in the United States.
Phoenix Arizona is second only to narco terrorist states as the kidnapping capitol of the world. http://www.nationalterroralert.com/updates/2009/02/13/kidnapping-capital-of-the-usa-phoenix-arizona/
Due to the refusal of the United states government and officials to enforce United States law, Arizona was forced to take action and passed SB1070, seen here, http://www.nationalterroralert.com/updates/2009/02/13/kidnapping-capital-of-the-usa-phoenix-arizona/
What have geniuses in this administration done? In a continued disingenuous
play for votes this administration has decided to file suit against Arizona over a state law enacted to reaffirm Federal Law. Holder is suing Arizona, for buttressing and enforcing current Federal Law. http://www.thefoxnation.com/arizona-immigration-law/2010/06/22/mexico-and-holder-both-suing-az http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/06/22/mexico-files-lawsuit-overturn-arizona-immigration-law/Obama Promised 1200 troops along the border. But these troops are not sent to stop the flow of illegal immigrants, but to have desk jobs. John Morton, who heads U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said his agency will not necessarily process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona officials.http://www.alipac.us/article-topic-32.html .
The Federal government has closed a National Park on the border in effect ceding United States property to narco terrorist from Mexico. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/06/22/mexican-gangs-permanent-lookouts-parkland/
Mexico has determined to join the Holder led Justice Department to join in the suit to be filed by the Federal Government against the State of Arizona. http://tinyurl.com/2bref2d
Hilda Solis has made several PSA's in more than one stunning public service announcement with complete disregard to the law and the fact that illegal aliens who have no right to a job in the United States, has asked them to turn their employers in for unequal pay practices. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_dIWgY7Hms
It is rumored that Obama intends to by fiat issue an Executive Order granting all 13 million illegal aliens amnesty, and a response by Senators can be found here,

RED FLAG WARNING TO ALL AMERICANS AND LEGAL RESIDENTS:
ReplyDeleteON MONDAY, a number of Senators led by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) Sen. Hatch (R-Utah), Vitter (R-La.), Bunning (R-Ky.), Chambliss (R-Ga.), Isaakson (R-Ga.), Inhofe (R-Okla.), Cochran (R-Miss.) demanded answers of a possible plan by the White House to provide an Amnesty to the nation's estimated 11-18 million illegal aliens through an executive order. The move would take immigration enforcement out of the hands of Congress and place it in the hands of the Executive Branch. Call, Fax, Email or see your Members of Congress at (202) 224-3121 to express your outrage at Pres. Obama's plan to provide Amnesty through Executive Order. READ THE LETTER SENT TO PRESIDENT OBAMA BY THESE LAWMAKERS AT NumbersUSA. Already over 112.000 faxes have been sent by irate Citizens-legal residents to legislators throughout the country. IF SUCH A TRAVESTY HAPPENED, WITHOUT THE PEOPLES VOICE AND VOTE, THE CONGRESS IMPEACHMENT COULD BE IMPOSED ON ALL INVOLVED?
Every citizen-resident must realize this also influences--YOU--and your children's future, wages, culture, language and the deterioration of our most sacred document--the US Constitution. by Leftist extremists. THROW OUT ALL PRO-ILLEGAL ALIEN POLITICIANS? Since when did--MEXICO--or any other foreign country have a right to interfere with the "Rule of Law" in the this United States? How can they even reason of an--AMNESTY, when 15 million Americans and permanent residents are jobless?
If you want to stop 20 to 30 illegal immigrant invasion, it's overpopulation potential and reduce the amount of money stolen from your pay check to pay for their welfare, education, health treatment join the growing numbers of NUMBERSUSA. There are billions of dollars going overseas, across the border from those illegally working here--there feeding off us like parasites. Over a million people now realize we must unite to stop this epidemic--JOIN NUMBERSUSA--as a silent activist and remain anonymous, where radical open border zealots cannot torment you with racist slurs.
Many Americans and legal residents stay in the shadows because of the chance of being verbally or even physically attacked. Have a voice in this travesty of our immigration laws.Learn who your enemies are--the ACLU, US Chamber of Commerce, Council of Foreign Relations. THIS IS CORPORATE WELFARE--WHAT YOU THE TAXPAYER PAYS FOR? Learn the poor immigration grades of pro-amnesty politicians and eject them from office.Throw Harry Reid of Nevada and Madame Clinton, Morton, Holder, Pelosi. out on their backsides. They are anti-sovereignty as many Liberal Democrats, Republicans are? Numbersusa is building an army of anti-illegal immigration advocates and we need your vote, to stop this violations of our freedoms, our right. ONE FLAG, ONE LANGUAGE, AND THE US CONSTITUTION. California--A SANCTUARY STATE- Liberal-Democratic corrupt lawmakers have already sold their state to the illegal immigration occupation, that is why they are 20 billions of dollars in the red and fighting off insolvency?
Fight for the Arizona policing law and mandate similar for every state, city, town and community in our Union. Ask why only 1200 troops on our border to defend innocent Americans in fighting the drug cartels and other criminals, but will send 17000 national guard for oil cleanup? Ask why only a single border fence and uncompleted. Ask why not the two as planned, complete with razor wire. Fight back against the Instant Citizenship "Anchor Baby" law which has been misinterpreted, from the 19th Century slave emancipation post Civil War law. If they keep to the 14th Amendment as it is, then the child remains a citizen--but the Mother isn't (nor the Father) One parent--MUST--be a citizen?. If not--They must be deported.
