Ross: About The DOJ’s Decision To Sue Arizona
Yesterday, as per my usual routine, when I got home from work, the first thing I did was to power up my computer, to check my e-mail, and put my aching feet up to relax.
As the mail began to download I scanned through the subject lines. My eyeballs froze in their sockets when I read, Feds file lawsuit against Arizona; ask judge to block SB1070. Instantaneously my blood pressure must have went up 20 points, and I no longer felt the pain in my feet.
Even though I suspected that our government would do this, I still felt this sudden, overwhelming outrage at the federal government. If you look up the word traitor in the dictionary, one of the definitions you will find is, “one who betrays another‘s trust or is false to an obligation or duty.” That definition fits those bastards, sons of bitches, or whatever term you wish to call them, who have now sued a state for doing what they, the federal government, were supposed to have been doing for the past 24 years since the Passage of the Simpson Mazzoli Immigration Act.
The U.S. Department of Justice filed papers in the 9th District Court, located in Phoenix, Arizona, over the recent passage of SB 1070, a bill which mandates that state employees enforce current existing immigration law found in Title 8 of the United States Code.
The mission of the U.S. Department of Justice, (DOJ), is stated as, “To enforce the law and defend the interests of the United States according to the law; to ensure public safety against threats foreign and domestic; to provide federal leadership in preventing and controlling crime; to seek just punishment for those guilty of unlawful behavior; and to ensure fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans.”

Don’t you find it just a little bit ironic that the DOJ is suing a state for doing the job of that it, itself, is supposed to be doing? After all, it says that their job is to enforce the law, and to seek just punishment for those guilty of unlawful behavior.
Since entering our country illegally, working in our country illegally, and everything else an illegal alien does while in our country is illegal, why hasn’t the DOJ, for the past 24 years, done its’ job? While we’re at it, why haven’t past, and present Presidents of the United States, whose job is chief executive officer, made damn sure that the DOJ did their job?
Instead of the DOJ suing the state for doing the job it should have been doing, why don’t the states sue the current and past presidents, and attorneys general for negligence and breach of trust?
If I had any say in the matter, George Herbert Walker Bush, William Jefferson Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Hussein Obama would all be indicted. While I was at it, I would add former Attorneys General Barr, Reno, Ashcroft, Gonzales, Mukasey, and Holder as co-defendants.
Unfortunately, that just ain’t gonna happen. So now we have the federal government, suing a state for doing the job the federal government has refused to do. Their basis for doing so is that SB 1070 “…is preempted by federal law and therefore violates the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution.”
Furthermore, in a statement by Assistant Attorney General Tony West, the Arizona law “…attempts to second-guess federal policies and re-order federal priorities in the area of immigration enforcement and to directly regulate immigration and the condition of an alien’s entry and presence in the United States despite the fact that those subjects are federal domains and do not involve any legitimate state interest” (emphasis added)
The effect of illegal aliens do not involve any legitimate state interest? Where the hell do these people come from? Where do they get these asinine beliefs? These idiots can’t honestly believe that the influx of illegal aliens do not have any effect upon the states they occupy. What about the crime that comes with them? What about the cost to educate their non-English speaking children? What about the burden upon our social service programs due to their anchor babies, which allow them to suck off the public tit? Excuse me Mr. West, but pull your head out of your ass and take a look at what is really happening in this country!
The statement found on the DOJ’s website states, “Department’s brief said that S.B. 1070 will place significant burdens on federal agencies, diverting their resources away from high-priority targets, such as aliens implicated in terrorism, drug smuggling, and gang activity, and those with criminal records.”
Significant burdens? Tough shit! You, and by you I mean the federal government, has had 24 years to seal that border, and you have refused to do so. If you had done it those high-priority targets would not be a problem, would they?
Mr. West continues his idiocy by stating, “Assuring effective enforcement of the provisions against illegal immigration and unlawful presence is a highly important interest…But it is not the singular goal of federal immigration laws”
Then he gets to the crux of the matter by stating, “uniquely national interests’ like facilitating trade and commerce, welcoming foreign nationals who visit or immigrate lawfully and ensuring their fair treatment, responding to humanitarian concerns…”
If you ask me, our federal government succumbed to pressure from Mexico, particularly from Mexican President Felipe Calderon, to do something because Arizona’s law might actually work, and that would cut off a huge chunk of the money that these illegal aliens send back to Mexico, but that’s just a guess on my part.
After all, why would this arrogant bastard try to meddle in our internal affairs? Why would he stand before the members of Congress and state, “My government does not favor the breaking of the rules. I fully respect the right of every country to enact and enforce its own laws…But what we need to do today is fix our broken and unefficient [sic] system.”? Our system is not broken, and I am sick and tired of hearing that it is. How can a system be broken when no one has tried to enforce it?
This whole problem with illegal aliens could be solved if, and this is a big IF, if our president had a pair of balls bigger than split peas. With five simple steps we could solve this problem, hell I could do it if I were president.
First I would close the border entry points. No one gets in, and no U.S. citizen gets out. Mexicans are free to leave, but once they step over the border they cannot return.
Next I would post the National Guard along the border, in sufficient numbers, to stop the influx of illegal aliens. They would be under orders to forcibly return all those heading north back to Mexican soil. The use of deadly force would be authorized for anyone refusing to return.
Then I would stop the flow of trade with Mexico. Along with that I would cut off all foreign aid to them. Finally I would stop the flow of money by Western Union, and all other wire transfer services, out of the U.S. into Mexico.
Then I would issue a formal statement to the President of Mexico, telling him that normal relations would resume when he gets his shit together and stops encouraging his people to violate our nation’s sovereignty.
But then I am not president, am I? Instead we have had 24 years of chickenshits who are more concerned with diplomatic relations, with the availability of cheap labor for their buddies in the business industries, and for the special interest groups who scream out racism anytime we attempt to enforce our nation’s laws.
We haven’t had a president take illegal aliens seriously since President Eisenhower enacted Operation Wetback. Can you imagine the outrage today if a president even used that term?
And therein lies the problem, not only does our government lack the spine to do what is right for this country, too many people are worried about offending someone by using a term like wetback.
So here we sit, arguing amongst ourselves about what to do, while according to a 2004 Dept. of Homeland Security report, 8,200 illegal aliens cross our border daily. Soon they will outnumber us, then they will have the numbers to pass any type immigration reform they want, possibly doing away with any type of immigration requirements entirely.
Maybe then, when Mexico is pretty much emptied of all Mexicans, we can move, en masse, south and start over, demanding of the remaining Mexican government, the same rights and privileges that they demand of us now. Until then I urge you to stock up on ammo, cause it is eventually going to get very ugly in the good ole U S of A.

Benito, I don’t mean to be rude but, does the word Hypocritical ring a bell for you? Yes, that’s right. The Mexican government is Hypocritical, to tell my country and our government how to deal with the immigration problem. Maybe we should deal with it the way they do. That would be robbing, raping, abusing and jailing people who invade their southern border. To say that Mexico is ruthless in it’s treatment of Illegal Aliens would be an understatement. I guess it depends on who’s Ox is being gored.
If you must continue to come here and prattle on about the supposed rights of Illegal invaders to MY country, please get a new line of Shit! your present one stinks. hb AARP 3%er!
“All Men are created equal”! The founders had it right, when attempting to form a perfect union and they also knew that they were not there yet but knew we one day would get there. Lincoln moved us forward as did JFK and LBJ. This Nation was founded by men of many nations and backgrounds. It was founded on the principle that all men are created equal, and that the rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened.
It is my contention that this AZ law is not constitutional and will fail when challenged (unless, of course, they keep adding more amendments), pretty funny for this so called perfect law, that many internet bloggers claim it was copied “Word for Word” from the Federal law, which I frankly do not believe, if it was then no amendments would have been made, right?, of course, keep those lies coming.
As for the undocumented workers, as was attributed to Ronald Reagan “It’s the Economy, Stupid”. When the economy is good you say let’s all celebrate “Cinco de Mayo, my brothers” but when the economy is down “it’s all your fault, you damn immigrant”. This too will pass, the real problem is the narcos, arms and people smugglers and that’s what the focus should be on.
Don’t you find it funny that no one ever voted for Brewer for Governor, she is trying to get elected on the back of undocumented workers, it’s all about politics, do not be fooled. In the last few months Busy Brewer has passed S.B. 1070, no permit conceal weapons law, the famous Birthers law, banning Ethnic studies law, (could she be behind the Mural in Prescott, Arizona) and if history is a lesson and if she can read, she should look up Arizona’s House Bill 2779 from two years ago (which failed when legally challenged) and the craziest one the boycott of Martin Luther King Day, not wanting another holiday, how crazy is that. I believe there is an undercurrent to their enactment of new laws, they real love following a distinct pattern. Poor Brewer, in an attempt to gain sympathy, in an interview she first said her father had died in Germany fighting the Nazi in World War II (which ended 1945) and we find out her father was never in Germany and died in California in 1955 (watch her play the victim card, again) and then she went to Washington and came back empty as always, poor dear.
Benito, I hate to bust your bubble but, “god created man but, Sam Colt made us equal.” I guess some folks want to be put ahead in line.
Benito,
Although I agree with some of your comments, the reality is, that these people are invaders. If freedom is so important, why don’t they stay in their own lands, and fight for freedom at home. Instead, they choose to come to America and DEMAND something, which they are unwilling to fight for at home.
I don’t care if their names are Juan, Francois, Igor, or Muhammed. If they broke into “my house” – GET OUT and go home. If they wish to return, then stand in line like everyone else.
I hope that every American, regardless of where he lives, will stop and examine his conscience about this and other related incidents. This Nation was founded by men of many nations and backgrounds. It was founded on the principle that all men are created equal, and that the rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened. All of us ought to have the right to be treated as he would wish to be treated, as one would wish his children to be treated, but this is not the case.
I know the proponents of this law say that the majority approves of this law, but the majority is not always right. Would women or non-whites have the vote if we listen to the majority of the day, would the non-whites have equal rights (and equal access to churches, housing, restaurants, hotels, retail stores, schools, colleges and yes water fountains) if we listen to the majority of the day? We all know the answer, a resounding, NO!
Today we are committed to a worldwide struggle to promote and protect the rights of all who wish to be free. In a time of domestic crisis men of good will and generosity should be able to unite regardless of party or politics and do what is right, not what is just popular with the majority. Some men comprehend discrimination by never have experiencing it in their lives, but the majority will only understand after it happens to them.

Thank you for writing a factually accurate and heartfelt article Neal.
In my humble opinion the greatest insult of them all, -the greatest “pretended legislation” is the laws the traitors in the Federal Government wrote that apply to protecting our borders and ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION enforcement, and then IGNORED. This burns my azz the worst of all. Every last man-jack of them that has IGNORED these LAWS is COMPLICIT in MAJOR crime. Yesterday, I heard on the heavily BIASED “National Public Radio” ( well ok,.. it’s ‘National’ for gays, Transgender’s, Lesbians, Transvestites, Limousine Liberals, Rich Jewish Princesses’ and other bleeding hearts types -I only listen to hear ‘the other side’ ;-) ) Anyway, I heard yesterday on NPR, that the Grand Potentate hisself done sic’d the “Justice” ( there’s a misnomer if the ever was one: Justice? -eh? ) Department on Arizona, –our brave Arizona -for what? For ENFORCING Laws ALREADY ON THE FEDERAL BOOKS -yet UNENFORCED by those WHO swore an -OATH- -AND took our tax money to WRITE.
Last I checked, that’s called FRAUD. Indictable FRAUD.
Latest numbers I read is a staggering $113 billion a year in costs to American tax-payers, and 11 to a high of 20 MILLION interlopers present IN-Country now. MANY of which (and it is documented) came from -get this: Sudan, Yemen, Somalia, Libya, Saudi-Arabia, and other Muslim countries (you know, -like where ALL the 9/11 attackers came from) -And now Resident AKA wants to ‘play pretend’ that these invaders just want a better way of life. Well la-de-dah -so DO we -and we happen to live here, -and THEY are STEALING it from US. Imagine how far $113 Billion would go in giving tax cuts to small businesses, which could give a real boost to our economy or maybe we could help OUR homeless find some work and self-respect. IF we had a real president who was actually capable of governing our nation, we could once again be admired around the world.
THIS JUST IN: “Obama Attempts to Resurrect Amnesty with Speech”
” Less than two months after Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle declared immigration reform dead in 2010, President Obama is trying to resurrect attempts to grant amnesty to the approximately 11 million illegal aliens currently living in the United States. Speaking at American University in Washington on July 1, Obama reiterated his support for a “pathway for legal status” for illegal aliens.”
Read the full article; http://www.fairus.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=23187&security=1601&news_iv_ctrl=1721#1
-and on the same page there is mention of Nobama’s pick for heading ICE: a sanctuary city Police Chief ! There is no low that that Nobama will not go to ruin our precious country; “President Obama has appointed an outspoken critic of local immigration enforcement as the new head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) 287(g) program.”

Can’ya b’elive it? We now have an (alleged) President who favors every last kind of FOREIGN person OVER American citizens.
HOW MUCH LONGER MUST WE ALL BE SUBJECTED TO THIS?
The most flagrant ILLEGAL -ALIEN- of them all pretends to be a duly elected President of our country. WHERE (forgive me Lord) is the God DAMN Birth Certificate? I’m sorry, but ANYBODY that spends well over a million dollars to hide his past has got something to HIDE.
Hell, I had to be fingerprinted AND show my ORIGINAL birth certificate to be hired on as a ‘lowly’ school bus driver.
We DESERVE to know IF this guy is even eligible to BE our President. The REQUIREMENT is written into OUR Constitution. And EVERY Politician that hides from this ‘birth certificate’ issue is COMPLICIT in a master crime against the American people. THEREFORE, they MUST be removed from office forthwith. And/or PROSECUTED.
In MY humble opinion, (-and like bellybuttons, of course everybody has one,) this ‘person’ in THE White House is the largest FRAUD ever perpetrated upon a people in the history of the world.
See this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwhKuunp8D8&feature=player_embedded
And in closing, just a thought; “IF” those 11 to 20 MILLION interlopers among us all wore Mexican Army Uniforms, the American people would sh*t their pants and be calling for Nobama’s head -for not “protecting” them.
The American people are BLIND. And stupid.
*********************************************************************************************************
Harsh words Mr. Ross. But, we need to enact even harsher sanctions against the dishonest and disgraceful actions of our(sic)Neighbour south of the border.
I wonder what the Commie liberals are going to do when Mexican nationals sneaking drugs and guns into OUR country start disappearing into shallow graves in the really big desert? I can hear them howling now about the poor immigrants and how their rights are being violated. What rights would those be? hb AARP 3%er!
