On April 20, 2010 Arizona passed a state law saying it would be a crime for illegal immigrants not to have the appropriate documents. The reason for this law's passage through the Arizona legislature is the killing of Arizona farmer by an illegal immigrant. Also the state has an estimated over 400,00 illegal immigrants in the state now. Arizona is doing this because of the failure of the federal government to do anything to stop illegal immigration.
Today president Obama went to Phoenix, AZ and gave a speech saying the law was misguided and could violate people's civil rights. He is going to have the Justice Department look into if this law is legal. We know what will happen there with Eric Holder in charge of the Justice Department. First let me say if you are illegally you don't have the same rights as American citizens including civil rights. By being here you are breaking US immigration laws. The other problem I have President Obama is that he thinks illegal immigrants and terrorist have the same rights as American citizens under our Constitution but they do not. Rights under our Constitution are given to American citizens and immigrants who came here legally and became citizens.
The Arizona Immigration Bill would allow law enforcement to question anyone that appears to be here illegally. I personally don't believe that this a violation of my rights or anyones rights. This bill also lets lawsuits come against government agencies that hinder the enforcement of this law. My position something needs to be done on illegal immigration and protection of the US-Mexican border. This law in Arizona came about because of the failure of the federal government to do anything about illegal immigration.
I have a problem with how the federal government looks like they want to handle illegal immigration. The Administration and congressional democrats want to grant amnesty to all illegal immigrants in the US now. This is wrong because they should have to use the same process as people who legally immigrate here from other countries. This is making it easier for the illegal immigrants and leaves it harder for the people who immigrate here legally. What needs to happen is that the illegal immigrants to follow current immigration laws to come here to the US. Also the immigration laws to need to fixed so that it doesn't take so long, cost so much money, and have so much bureaucratic red tape. The reason I say this know someone who immigrated here from Russia and did by laws and it was very difficult and now we want to just grant amnesty to illegal immigrants. That is just wrong.
One thing of many that has made this country so great was having people here from all over the world. The thing is that in the past most immigrants came here legally as opposed to today were we have approximately 12 million illegal immigrants here now. When you immigrant here legally you become an American citizen not just German-American, Italian-American, and Russian-American. WE all in this country are Americans.
My hope is that federal government will help the states on the southern border. If it takes the use of National Guard troops then do it. Something needs to be done now. The time for politics has ended on this issue because illegal immigration is out of control. I hope that something is done soon and very soon or I see things getting worse on the US-Mexican border.
