Why Is Eric Holder an Idiot?

I'm glad you ask the question. Let me start with the whole enforcement of immigrations laws, or the lack thereof. It's common knowledge that we, as a country have the most porous borders in the world. We allow folks to come in, get benefits that are paid for by tax payers, and not pay one cent in taxes. We allow folks to come in illegally and have babies (paid for by tax payers) that we then count as citizens, give free elementary and secondary education (paid for by tax payers), then give them scholarships and government grants (paid for by tax payers) while their parents still live here illegally, don't learn the language, don't acclimate to the culture of this country, work for cash and don't pay income taxes, send most of their money back to their country of origin therefore not stimulating the economy or paying any sales taxes. They call the fire department when they have emergency issues (still haven't paid taxes), they call the police to aide them in matters where laws have been broken (still haven't paid taxes), and they drive on roads paved by tax payer dollars causing wear and tear therefore costing tax payers even more money when they wear out prematurely and need to be repaired or replaced. All of this being true, this moron and his staff at the attorney general's office decided recently to file suit against the state of Arizona for the new statue they have implemented.

Let's examine the new law as it is designed to be enforced. The Arizona measure requires police and other law enforcement officials, while enforcing other laws, to question a person's immigration status upon "reasonable suspicion" that they are in the state illegally. If they aren't then they detain them and turn them over to federal authorities it's then up to the federal government to decide whether they want to accept them, whether they want to detain them, whether they want to remove them to their country of origin or what to do with them. The basis of the suit is that the state is not allowed to enforce federal laws. How stupid is this crap? Now they're saying their options open to sue for racial profiling. This dude is either slow bus special or an idiot all together. I applaud the state of Arizona for enacting the law in order to cover for the inadequacies of the federal government. Ever wonder why California is broke and Arizona and New Mexico are having financial issues? They are trying to do what they were elected to do by the citizens of Arizona. This isn't a priority for the federal government because the lion's share of the costs is burdened by the state governments with the social programs (medicine and education). Not to mention the added stress on the state and local infrastructure. Arizona is spending state and local resources, therefore funds, to assist the federal government in enforcing the laws that it seems they have issue with enforcing. For this assist, they are met with a law suit. I say that Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas ought to send a bill to the federal government for the expenses incurred as a result of their failure to secure our borders.

On the matter of racial profiling, this is laughable. You have a state that borders Mexico and the Attorney General's office is saying they'll investigate racial profiling in enforcing this law. Its simple semantics, I'd be willing to bet 2 weeks' salary that 95% of the illegals in these border states are from Mexico and south America. Suspicion could constitute anything from not knowing English to not being able to establish your identity (state issued ID). Is Holder just trying to waste tax payer money or what? Ok, here's a solution for Arizona. Check the legal citizenship status of everyone you stop for a traffic violation, infraction of the law, or suspected infraction of the law. This way you don't have to worry about Holder and his imbecilic minions filing this idiotic suit and wasting tax payer money. It's bad enough that the federal government is overspending on so many other things, and then you add the litigation of this Arizona statute to the mix…all I can say is WOW. I hope every state that is having issues with overcrowded classrooms, unpaid medical bills and overcrowded state and county hospitals enacts legislation of this nature. Then we can take it a step further and challenge the 14^th amendment once this is all straightened out. (that's a blog for another day)

It's Just My Opinion But I'm Not Wrong

Racism? Classism? Immorality? Elitism? Which is it?

For the past couple of weeks everyone has been up in arms about the new law that was recently signed by the governor of Arizona. There have been those who protested saying this law reeks of racism; others who said these people came to this country to seek a better life for themselves and their families; while someone even argued that an immoral law ought not be enforced. Ok, let's evaluate this situation. Arizona has one of the highest levels of illegal immigration in the country. Some reports indicate that the border between Arizona and Mexico are as porous as cheesecloth. Illegals come over, go back, bring over contraband, take it back…the cycle continues. The governor of the state of Arizona is sworn to protect the citizens of that state and this country. The key word here is CITIZEN! If folks could review the facts of this situation rationally devoid of emotion they would be able to see it just as the state house of Arizona and their governor did. Something needed to be done. If the federal government isn't going to enforce the laws that are already on the books, then the state government had to. WHY??? Because of the ineptitude of the federal immigration and customs enforcement department the state government had to act in the best interest of their citizens.

Last year alone Texas spent over $1 billion just in free medical care for illegals…this doesn't take into account the kids in school, wear and tear of roadways, police and fire services, higher insurance premiums, or what was spent in other states for these people who came into this country illegally. There are those who are sympathetic to their plight who speak of how poor their country is and how they have no opportunities there. While I can't disagree with that, does this situation absolve them from consequences for breaking the law? Here's a scenario, you come home from work and there's a family living in your attic. They broke in while you were at work and now they've set up residence there. They come down every once in a while and eat some of your food; they use your utilities; and they don't pay any bills. Every once in a while they might give you $20 or bring you something from the liquor store. They're just trying to find a better life…their neighborhood was dangerous, poor and they had no opportunity there. Looking at this situation, wouldn't you be angry if you called the police and they did nothing? Arizona faced this same situation, as do many other states. They had a population of folks who moved in, sent their kids to school, called police and fire when their services were needed, work jobs for cash and pay no taxes, with the exception of the little they pay when they buy something. ARIZONA HAD TO ACT!!! I personally hope other states follow suit and enact similar legislation.

What about those police officers who will unfairly target Hispanics who are here legally? What about those who will be detained until they can prove their citizenship and they are citizens? What about those who will be looked upon as illegals who aren't? I can't be angry at the system for trying to right a wrong. Who I can be upset with are those who necessitate such legislation and its enforcement. It's no different from me walking in the mall and having store security following me around. I'm not mad at the, but the idiots who came in before me and gave them the notion that all black men steal.

Lastly, please stop making references to this as though it is reminiscent of the Jim Crow days of the old south. There are several distinctions that separate this time from that one. First and foremost, black folks were brought here in bondage, illegals came here on purpose. Secondly, black folks were persecuted because of the color of their skin, illegals are sought out because they are illegal! Third, we didn't like or treatment and had no recourse, they can go back home if they don't like the way they're being treated. I was beyond angry when I watched the news and saw a man sitting there almost in tears because his wife was about to be deported. He was a Mexican American (legally) and his wife was here illegally from Nicaragua. He knew when he married her that she was here illegally, he knew when they started a family that she was here illegally, he knew when he served in the US Marine Corps and got his citizenship straight that his wife was still illegal. Yet he sat there asking, "Why is my country doing this to me?" Hey meathead, your illegal wife did it to you and you helped her. Stop crying and start dealing with the decisions you made. I got a quick fix, why don't you go with her when she's deported, then your family can stay together…problem solved!

It's just my opinion, but I'm not wrong.
