President Obama is using the Department of Homeland Security to punish his enemies.
The Obama administration said Monday it is suspending existing agreements with Arizona police over enforcement of federal immigration laws, and said it has issued a directive telling federal authorities to decline many of the calls reporting illegal immigrants that the Homeland Security Department may get from Arizona police.
Administration officials, speaking on condition they not be named, told reporters they expect to see an increase in the number of calls they get from Arizona police — but that won’t change President Obama’s decision to limit whom the government actually tries to detain and deport.
“We will not be issuing detainers on individuals unless they clearly meet our defined priorities,” one official said in a telephone briefing.
The official said that despite the increased number of calls, which presumably means more illegal immigrants being reported, the Homeland Security Department is unlikely to detain a significantly higher number of people and won’t be boosting personnel to handle the new calls.
“We do not plan on putting additional staff on the ground in Arizona,” the official said.
This is a political maneuver designed to punish Arizona, which is already reeling from the lawlessness on its border with Mexico. It also tells us that the administration has given up on winning Arizona, which until recently was considered a swing state, this fall. Obama has written it off, and is now going Soviet on it to make it an example to others. He is essentially kicking Arizona out of whatever is left of the federal government’s border enforcement, declaring to smugglers and traffickers that Arizona is very much on its own. The sucker punch comes when police enforce Section 2B of 1070 and get the state sued again. That’s likely to put the law back on hold, giving the green light to anyone who wants to sneak into Arizona from Mexico for any reason whatsoever.
The Obama administration did something like this with Texas years ago, when DHS Secretary Napolitano reportedly laughed at the state’s direct request from Gov. Perry for more enforcement help on the border. After that, the president completed his obnoxious disregard for the state by visiting the border at El Paso and mocking requests for more security.
We have a remarkable president on our hands. He openly defies the defined obligations of his office, then crafts new abilities to strike out at the states that he dislikes, imposing energy famines and abetting lawlessness in the name of his warped worldview. It’s hard at the present time to regard the union of our United States as such. It doesn’t seem very united when Obama’s Washington keeps acting like a hostile occupier.
What was that crap about Supreme Court justices needing to feel the concerns of the people, or other some such? Obviously, it is asentiment applicable only if they are feelings of a politically-liberal kind.
I should think the administration has proven Scalia’s dissent. I think this should also prove that one actually need have a little bit of concern for the rule of law as “New Hispanic” voting power grows, because this truly shows the Federal Government has no intention of helping states keep a republican form of government, as required by the Constitution
The United States government, with this move by the administration, is in violation of Article IV, Section IV of the United States Constitution. The same is true if it prevents foreign voters from being removed from voting rolls, as it prevents a republican form fof government.
And, so, where is the lawsuit against this administration for not enforcing the law? Forthcoming? Why isn’t this an impeachable offense?
good question…someone needs to ask this crooked administration exactly this.
they’re like a bunch of babies..
Obama is doing all he can to motivate his base, which he already owns. However, the level of pushback coming his way will make his head spin and drill the Dems into a deeper hole than they can imaging. They better find a way to corral their runaway wild horse.
“And, so, where is the lawsuit against this administration for not enforcing the law? Forthcoming? Why isn’t this an impeachable offense?”
Lawsuits don’t settle that kind of thing. Revolutions do.
Having seen Romney in action on this issue (NOTHING), I’m calling it for Obama, by at least five points. Plan accordingly.
All Republicans are traitors, too.
WHY..WHY??? DO we have elected officials..esp the GOP …that do NOT ACT , DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO something about this/these actions of Obama????
We stand with Brewer…something Washington should learn to do..
O needs serious jail time for this move.
Creating new rules that clash with existing laws, ignoring other laws, it’s how dictators operate.
if this is not an impeachable offense, I don’t know what is.
I guess he could say he swore to defend the Constitution ‘to the best of his ability’. Now we see, the man has NO ability to defend something he doesn’t believe in. It’s not his fault. We expected too much of him.
There’s no one in the Congress to get the job of impeachment and conviction done. The Congress is full of wimps, hard line DemoRATS, RINOS, grafters, marcissists,, Commies with a small “c,” and assorted detritus and bottom feeders, who are harmful, useless and cowardly. Have the American people gotten over their flirtation with Obamaism, his hatred of America, and their conscience stricken skin-color politics? We’ll find out soon enough!
YOU CALL OBAMA THE president?SINCE WHEN DOES A president STOPS ANOTHER STATE FROM DOING THEIR JOB, WHICH IS TO ASK QUESTIONS, IF ILLEGAL CALL ICE/OR WHOEVER TO PICK THEM UP. YOU DON’T PICK WHO YOU WANT TO BE PICKED UP….OBAMA WE DO HAVE LAWS, YOU ARE BREAKING OUR LAWS, IMPEACH HIM, ALL OBAMA IS DOING IS OVER THROWING OUR COUNTRY, OBAMA ALSO WANT TO START A WAR WITHIN, WHITES AGAINST BLACK/MEXICANS….COUNT ON ME, I CAN READ HIS MIND, SO CAN YOU.
Kinda saw this coming this morning after the Supreme’s ruling. But the current POTUS’s time in office is theoretically fleeting, and the question I wonder about now is WWRD? (What will Romney do?)
Obama is a bully. The Republican leadership is a wimp getting slapped around by that bully. The Republicans figure that if they turn the other cheek enough times, the bully will tire of slapping them. We will all get to see how that strategy plays out in the coming months.
I sure wish people would open their eyes and see that being a bunch of wimps is not what’s ailing the Republican Party. What is ailing it is a lack of principle, and a surfeit of progressive sentiment that mirrors the agenda of the Democrat Party; it’s just that the Republican Party has to disguise itself just enough to capture the votes of Americans who are right of center. That’s the way the game is being played. One agenda, two parties to see it through.
In my darker moments I worry that you are correct in your assessment of the Republicans. The sum of problems facing this country (and the world) should be enough to force Republican progressives and quislings out into the bright sunlight in the next few years. Clear choices must soon be made on entitlements, government regulations, foreign affairs, and a whole host of other major problems that are about to manifest themselves. There will be no more road to kick the can down.
Oh and it seems we had a dust up in part over law making and immigration before:
“”He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. “
“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.”
“He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.”
“Avoid profanities or foul language unless it is contained in a necessary quote or is relevant to the comment.”
The Obama administration makes that rule especially hard to follow.
Indeed.
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
Nope, Nothing here. The phrase “…to the best of my ability…” gives him an out.
Shame.
I think the end game goes no further than trying to goad Sheriff Joe into resigning or not putting much of a fight against federal charges. Obama probably has a sick fantasy about Jan Brewer asking “what do we need to do….??????!!!”. On the other hand, veterans groups, recent criminal justice grads and others should be berating Obama for missing the opportunity to ratchet up federal employment.
Perhaps the first thing Arizona ought to do is round up every undocumented Arizonan under the age of 30 who was brought here before age 16, has been here for at least five years, has no criminal record and a high school diploma (or equivalent) and/or served in the military and put them in one of Sheriff Arpaio’s tent cities. Then Gov. Brewer can wire Big Sis: “Your move.”
works for me.
… and it will come down to something like this, if SCOTUS remains so idiotic, and of course if Obambus is somehow reimaculated.
Perhaps send busloads or planeloads of illegal aliens and drop them off in Washington DC.
Almost. They should round them up, take them to a border crossing, and force them across the border into Mexico, at gunpoint if necessary. In full view of the Feds. Is there a law against state LEOs enforcing federal laws that the Feds have decided to ignore?
Short translation – the Wannsee diversity imperative continues. I realize that’s strong language, but at it’s heart the imperatives are the same – it’s all multiculturalism and diversity amounts to really. And liberals wonder why people say they hate America. I really wish liberals could be forced to spend time in these Third World nations they think are so equal.
If people truly realized how much these copycat cultures rely on our educational system and mimic it but without advancing it, they’d be amazed.
I have not tracked down the point on which Roberts joined with the hare-brains on this. I presume it is on some legalistic point of precedent, or quite possibly on the point that Arizona did not argue that derogation of duty by the Feds allowed them to shadow and enforce, as unattractive as that might be.
I want to propose an alternative, that Arizona DOES NOT NEED the separate laws, that any duly authorized law enforcement agency in Arizon is free to enforce just about any federal law they like – and the feds are obligated to respond in good conscience.
Why?
Because Arizona already is one of the United States.
End of argument.
I can see Sheriff Joe doing just that.
Now we wait and see if Boehner rolls over on the contempt citation vote against Holder on Fast & Furious. If he stops the vote in the House on that, it will prove that the Repubs aren’t serious about defending the Constitution either.
Correction: It would prove that the current **Republican Congressional Leadership** isn’t serious about it.
Please, Boehner is under his desk, crying and wishing he were back in his father’s saloon, sweeping floors. He is a first class RINO, who just wants to be loved by the power elit, inside the Beltway control freaks. He’s got nothing between his legs, nor the moral courage to stand on his hind legs like a human being and say enough is enough to the rotting, putrid Democrat House leadership and the rank Kenyan Alien, who fancies himself another gulag dictator.
Only 133 days until election day.
Arizona should empty the tent city. Put them all on school-buses, drive them to DC, and drop them off at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Best idea I’ve heard all day.
God Bless America!
Superb!! But, given this admin has the penchant to enforce some laws and not others depending on the flavor of the day,the bus driver would be arrested for interstate smuggling. So, its ok when crossing the international border but not ok when crossing a state border.
For example, under Obama policy, it is illegal for a policeman to ask for an ID but any business that does not confirm fake IDs is fined.
Under Obama policy, people should not have to provide an ID to vote, but will need one when they go to a hospital under Obamacare….unless you don’t have an Obamacare ID in which case, by law, the hospital must accept you.
What continues to amaze me are the numbers of dems I know that think any effort by Arizona is nothing short of slavery……when this admin continues to support human trafficking and slavery.

Arizona needs to stop collecting federal taxes. Those people could use there money anyway. Join hands with other states, we the people are sick of this government that only enforce laws it deems worthy. Stand up and fight!
Now that’s a worthwhile goal to get behind! What other states will do this as most are tied to the hilt with Fed subsidies.
Isn’t it a shame that we have the 16th Amendment? Prior to that, the states had some leverage as you suggest. Taxes were collected from the residents of states and sent in proportion to the total population to the Federal gov’t. Once the Feds knew they could dig their hands directly into the pockets of the populace, their expenditures became uncontrollable and their appetites for total control utterly rapacious.
So unless every taxpayer in AZ refuses to pay up, I don’t see much hope for this idea, and I wouldn’t put it past the DickTater-and-Thief to incarcerate the entire state, making it the first concentration camp.
…the president completed his obnoxious disregard for the state by visiting the border at El Paso and mocking requests for more security.
Obama sarcastically remarked in his El Paso speech about 1 year ago:
(you can see Juárez across the Rio Grande from El Paso)
“Maybe (Republicans) will say we need a moat. Or alligators in the moat.”
He outright lied:
“But even though it received a majority of votes in the Senate, it was blocked when several Republicans who had previously supported the Dream Act voted no.”
The Dream Act was defeated in the (democrat majority) Senate 55-41
“I know some here wish that I could just bypass Congress and change the law myself. But that’s not how a democracy works. What we really need to do is keep up the fight to pass reform. That’s the ultimate solution to this problem.”
Week before last, he went against “democracy” and did the deal himself through issuing a memorandum to DHS to cease deportation of a certain cohort.
“He outright lied.”
Let me correct that. It was 55 yeas and 41 nays.
The vote was along party lines except 3 republicans voted “yea” and 5 democrats voted “nay”.
Shouldn’t Obama go to Congress and get an official declaration of war on Arizona?
Obama wouldn’t bother asking Congress. After all, he prefers ‘kinetic military action’
his nickname is Spike for a reason
I’m also thinking that Spike is deliberately provoking his enemies. There are now several US laws he has gone out of his way to flout. His language is becoming even more extreme. He even mocked Romney for not taking questions from the press. Given his refusal to answer the question when he announced his unilateral decision to pass his own Dream Act, you have to think he was rubbing Romney’s nose in the fact that he, Marion, can get away with anything he wants to do.
The marxists would love to have an incident “not to waste”, wouldn’t they?
This is just more Obama rule-by-fiat, aka “tyranny”. The Left is basically anti-democratic, preferring the “great man on a white horse” to mundane republican (small r) politics. Obama is a wannabe Peron, willing to dictate policy irrespective of the Constitution. The O is cheered on by the media and his base (a tautology) while the rest of us fume and sputter.
The cowardice of the Republicans is breath-taking. I know that the likelihood of a successful impeachment is nil, but where is the outrage? No angry speeches, no resolutions, no appearances on television to decry what Dear Leader is doing? I am not surprised that Moderate Mitt is quiet, but what happened to conservative firebrands in Congress?
Obama is still testing the water, seeing what he can get away with. At this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if he issues an Executive Order in October delaying the elections until further notice.
This is the way a Republic dies.
As an Arizonan, I’m wondering if there are any other similar ‘Enforcement Agreements’ between the Feds and various Arizona law enforcement in other areas (such as drugs). If so then we should announce that we are ‘suspending’ those other agreements as well.
Interesting that this AZ Sheriff says that Obama’s illegal alien DREAM policy was already operative before he made the announcement.
“When the Obama administration made their announcement about no longer deporting a certain category of illegal aliens, they haven’t been doing that anyway,” he told Newsmax. “It was a joke and a fraud. They simply haven’t been doing it. And to say that they’re going to stop doing it was nothing more than a political hogwash…They don’t have the capacity to determine whether or not you came here as a three year old brought here by your parents or that you came yesterday. There’s no way for them to figure that out.”

If president obama was not trying to start a second Civil War please tell me what he would be doing differently?
Are you suggesting that Obama is emulating James Buchanan? That discussion was held over on Roger Simon’s blog.
P.S. Not impossible.
The immigration mess is as much about federal attempts to abrogate states’ rights as it is anything else.
As is Eric Holder suing states that want to clean up their voter rolls.
And Obamacare.
One battle, many forms, to create a national (as opposed to federal) government and to fundamentally alter the relationship between states and that national government as it attempts on any and all fronts to extend its hegemony into the stratosphere, trashing the 10th amendment.
Arizona legislature should pass law stating that all US witholding tax shall be sent to the state of Arizona. It should fund the border security it needs, and only then send the rest to the cesspool which is DC. Money talks.
Yep, here we are. Governance by the rule of man instead of the rule of law. I think I’ll go smoke a joint.
Such disdain for the Constitution and the laws of this land. If this clown is reelected, being a “third world” country would seem like an improvement.
See and experience the Third World
Without having to leave America!
(reelect Obama in 2012)
Why do we continue to fight? Is this nothing but only the beginning? Don’t demographics speak destiny? When TX is solidly D, what have we left? We are wasting our efforts on a lost cause. Only succession or departure remain as solutions.
I must agree with my fellow pessimist here. Our efforts seem futile and to only serve as delay. But when I hear myself speak these words, I’m also reminded of all the great Men who have ignored the very same conclusion and have fought on; yet I still return to them. If this election is as close as predicted, given the track record, what hope have we? Can we pin this all on non-recurring charisma? I’m not so sure. We are too inclined to compassion for our own good and Liberals rhetorical powers are just too great. Democracy is for the birds.
So what is left for the American citizens who live and own property
down in the border area? The old “Montana Rancher” solution of the
three S’s used on wolves (who weren’t a problem, according to the
government)? It would be a sad day for this country if that is where
this led but people in that area already are well aware that the
Federal Government of the United States is NOT their friend and can
NOT be counted on for any help with these problems (other than to
arm the illegals with guns paid for by American taxpayers). The bad
times will continue until a solution is found (however ugly it turns
out to be). My prayers go out to the honest American LEGAL citizens
trapped in this unnecessary nightmare.
It always amazed me when I lived in AZ how that jackass POS J. Napacrapapolo was elected governor. From the elections stats, Phoenix and Tucson rule the state, the rest of it can go to hell. It and Texas now appear to be one of the few remaining battlegrounds to preserve the USA. Otherwise it has degraded into Mob Rule Elections.
When Obama swore to uphold the Constitution he did swear, he said F**k it.
Obama just made things worse for Arizona after the supremes failed. There is now no border between Arizona and Mexico. This is spiteful on Obama’s part and will cause more damage to Arizona and all border states! Political BS!
Just don’t forget that spite and vindictiveness can be returned. Let’s say 0 wants to visit Arizona for a fund raiser/campaign stop. I don’t think there is any law that says any element of the Government of the State of Arizona nor any county nor community thereof is required to provide any services whatsoever for the White House party.
He lost the Arizona ruling and he’s pouting.
His attorney general is going to be held in contempt…well more official contempt than he is otherwise held already.
He is about to lose his signature, unread, unconstitutional legislation.
He had to assert an executive privilege that doesn’t exist, to cover up a gun running operation he never heard about, to protect documents concerning deliberations he never had…or something.
He can’t wait for this month to be over.
Talk about Choom Gloom.
More Hugo Chavez-wannabe acting out from our incompetent in chief.
November cannot come soon enough.
I live in Arizona and think my civil rights have been violated by the actions of this administration. Beginning with the attorney general’s decision not to do anything to the Black Panthers at the Philadelphia polling place, my rights have been violated again and again. People coming over the Arizona border degrade the environment and make use of Arizona’s medical, dental, and educational facilities. I have volunteered in classrooms where many of the students are from countries south of our border. They do not consider themselves Americans and I have actually seen one eigth grader refuse to participate in an “American” activity, singing the Mexican national anthem instead. As one who grew up and lived in New England, surrounded by a mish mash of newcomers to the United States. I never knew anyone or heard of anyone who did not support the United States. Since the 1960s I have been forced by government action and media “persuasion” to adopt and use political correctness although I do not agree with it. I have totally lost MY freedom of Speech.
Man there is something very very wrong here. The American people are standing up (directely) to the POTUS. Why is that? Well could it be that the Men and Women we elected to office to stand up for us is not are not doing the job we elected them to do…
It is time for this cheek turning to STOP! If my Rep in Congress will not no his job then I will do what I can to replace him!
I just read that the pres sent my Tax money across the big pond in support of the M. Brotherhood in Egypt???? Why is that the case? Could it be that we don’t have anyone in office with the guts to stand and be counted!!! What a shame!
What should have happened is this…. That Money that he just sent to this goverment that is threating our (U S) security and way of life should have been sent to an American Company, that will use American Steel, and American equipment to CLOSE that 15Meter Target ie our southern border once and for all!
I have seen and crossed the Border between Iraq and Kuwait. It was an awesome site…. We could and should build one just like it in the US. If you need a model that would be a good one to use.
My GOD!! When is enough.. ENOUGH!!
Government, with this move by the administration, is in violation of Article IV, Section IV of the United States Constitution. One wonders if the Brilliant “9″ ever read this organizations posts? on the off chance they do.
Dear “9″ what is it about fifty thousand square miles of the area formally known as the State of Arizona” that is not safe for the citizens who live in that Area formally known as the State of Arizona that you people don’t get about protecting the boarder of the U.S. which at one time used to have a state known as Arizona that is now that Area formally known as the State of Arizona? huh? just curious.
signed a former citizen of the Area formally known as the State of Arizona, Now know as Area 52?
Golf-Tango-Tango-Oscar-Hotel -echo=lema-lema-delta-uncle-mike-baker-alpha-sierra-sierra
Check “6″
Couple solutions,
Ask for their papers, search to see if they are illegal, detain them. Release them, 2nd offence is a felony, arrest them and jail them. Deport them as felons.
or transport them on a bus to Houston and let TX deal with the AZ illegals.
I believe the federal healthcare mandate is unconstitutional; however, a state may impose a mandate on its citizens, such as Massachusetts did in the healthcare law.
Suppose, for example, that Arizona passed a law mandating that all illegals are required to have insurance so that they don’t use a hospital’s emergency room as a free clinic? What would the response be from the DOJ?
I prefer immigration to be left in the hands of the feds and here’s why: The feds will not always be in the hands of Democrats, and if we can get the right people in charge, we can force states like California to close its borders to illegals and have the feds round up all illegals and deport them. Our day will come!
Pfft. That’s worked so well in the past.
The Obambi REGIME acts like a ‘petty spoiled child’ that cannot get its own way. How sorry I feel for America to have such man child as President.
A Country without borders is not a Country it is just a Region, a Country that does not protect and CONTROL its borders is not a Country, a Country that does not manage its IMMIGRATION will cease to be a demographic controlled Country and will be SWAMPED by those who IMMIGRATE ILLEGALLY.
Virtually ALL of those who immigrate ILLEGALLY do not have intellectual skills merely MANUAL skills so do nothing to raise the educational standards of the Country.
we need to defund homeland security. congress needs to impeach this president and the attorney general.
Why isn’t EVERY SINGLE ONE of the 242 Republican representatives in the House on the floor this very moment starting impeachment proceedings? Remember your oath fellas; that bit about protecting and defending the Constitution? Well, it’s showtime!
And you 47 Republican senators, you need to be holding Reid’s feet to the fire to move on an impeachment vote. Now!
People this is it. EVERYONE must call their representative TODAY
This is a rogue government run by a Castro wannabe and his thugs.It’s time for massive civil disobedience.
Hey, Bryan, Rush Limbaugh just read this post on air.
What States need to do is to deport thier illegals right into D.C. Give them one way trip on a plane full of state police officers to be sure they get off right in D.C. If the government refuses to do their job, then take the problem to them. I am sure that the African American community will be happy to see their communities invaded as well as the elitist progressives. What the administration is doing is tit-for-tat. You go against our administration in any way, legal or otherwise and we will take it out on you anyway we see fit. You have to fight back the same. Quid pro quo!
President Obama, the democrat party, and the sycophantic liberal press, all condemn any person who objects to the growing problem of illegal immigration as if any objection is beyond a normal person’s morals. I would counter that notion by saying that our country fought for its independence because of the colonialist’s strident objection to British illegal immigration.
One of the main reason for this country’s fight for independence was that the British were forcing colonists to house and support British troops which was called ‘quartering of troops’ Quartering of troops means that troops could forcibly occupy someone’s home. As it stands now our government is also demanding that we ‘quarter troops’ as illegal immigrants have become the foot soldiers for the democrat party. The growing army of illegal immigrants are ‘quartered’ into the government’s bureaucracy and given all the rudimentary privileges of an American citizen to mobilized them against any and all political objections.
I contend that our government is ruling like a foreign dictatorship and are in the process of ‘quartering their troops’ inside the American bureaucracy. These ‘troops’, acting like the British soldiers of the colonies and demanding subsistence, are being ‘quartered’ in our country as government bureaucrats, government workers, and illegal immigrates showered with entitlements. Once they are granted a guaranteed subsistence they will lie in wait until election day whereby they will be unleashed on the citizenry of this country to fight off any electoral challenge (ballot stuffing) to the growing despotic rule that recklessly promotes illegal immigration.
Hold on to your principals because you will need them. Mark my words, If Obama is losing the election in November he will declare martial law and finish what he intends to do. take over America as its first dictator. I figure about November 11 he will finish the job all his commis friends and socialist buddies started. Many Americans do not know what freedom is. they have been on government handouts and are basically already socialist.
Now if only Romney would pick Arizona’s Gov. Brewer as his running mate.
To put it amicably: this whole Administration is a Circus right up (or down) to the Circus Clown. More undocumented/illegal immigrants crossing our porous borders means an constant increase in the voting pool where the Dems can tap into to win elections.
• What? You want me to work 40hrs a week and make less than I would doing nothing at all and on Welfare? NO thanks… I won´t work and will vote for whichever Dem you tell me to!
• You mean I can actually cast (a) vote without having the proper legal citizenship documentation?
o Pelosi: “”Yes”
• I can vote with illegal falsified citizenship documentation?
o Dems: we do not have resources or individuals trained to be able to tell whether a document is falsified. We are not a law enforcement agency at the polling booths!
All who care: we should establish AZ residency in haste and continue to build a State that can stand on its own and continues to listen to the opinion of its citizens. If we let the illegal immigration tsunami hit, we will be looking at another disaster similar to Japan´s in March 2011. However, unlike Japan, AZ tsunami´s aftermath will be a rogue welfare state renamed New Orleans!
Well, then Arizona should refuse to send any more taxes to the US. They are either a part of the United States or they are not. If the President excludes them, then I guess he is saying they are not. Also, I would hold and detain all the illegals until the US responds to their requests, and then we will see an uprise from the federal government. I think it would force them to provide the info. If they don’t get cooperation from the federal government, then I would put them on a bus and take them right back to Mexico.
Inserting the State of Arizona into the tax collection stream for the IRS would be a great first step.
Calling up the Arizona National Guard and deploying them on the border would be a second good step. Make sure they are armed with live ammo. Perhaps even a declaration of martial law along a strip of land north of the border with Mexico for a few hundred yards might be in order. Invaders will be shot. Even pursued for a distance back into Mexico.
Congress can also join in the fun. Members of congress from AZ can bring impeachment charges against both Napolitano and Holder for refusal to execute their oaths of office. Additionally, budget for both departments can be zeroed. They are not going to take a lot of people to federal court on their own (as opposed to the taxpayers’ own) dime.
While you will not impeach Obama, you most certainly can raise havoc with his minions, political employees, cronies, leftist lawyers, and other strap hangers profiting from his malfeasance. Impeach, try, convict and remove from office in the harshest possible manner a few of them and the rest of them will get the idea not to screw around any more.
These clowns want to play? Lets play. Cheers -
Obama’s going soviet? The only thing soviet is the show me your papers law in AZ! And AZ was never in play for the election. AZ is part of the US and it’s laws are not above the Constitution. If immigration is such an issue there then they should be fighting with Congress to pass better laws. The President is one person out of 536 people responsible for passing and signing legislation.
Perhaps if the republican party came to the table in a show of bi-partisanship we could get something done.
So where are you living….on mars? Did your leader leave you there when he “teleported”??!!
Thank you for acknowledging that Arizona’s current laws are not above the Constitution as said SCOTUS. Therefore the only ones NOT honoring their oaths to protect said Constitution are those who refuse to enforce said laws.
And I give you the benefit of believing that you probably just watch and listen to the marxstream media which is now being constantly called out for purposefully misinforming such as yourself, but the Repubs have been the only ones to offer various suggestions/plans only to be met with the party of NO in the Senate, and if that fails the pResident of NO stands with veto pen ready to work his “magic”!….that is, when he’s not getting off re-watching his selected drone strikes.
This man (Obama) and his politics needs to be voted out of office as soon as possible and the ENTIRE POLITICAL ILK OF THE SAME PERSUASION needs to be made a PERMANENT and INEFFECTIVE MINORITY!!!
Obviously, swearing to uphold the US Constitution is as significant as the wedding vows of a cheating husband.
“And, so, where is the lawsuit against this administration for not enforcing the law? Forthcoming? Why isn’t this an impeachable offense?”
Lawsuits don’t settle that kind of thing. Revolutions do.
Having seen Romney in action on this issue (NOTHING), I’m calling it for Obama, by at least five points. Plan accordingly.
