We do have a broken immigration system. It is past the point of absurdity when officials will not enforce the law of the land. We have become a joke to the entire world on this one issue alone.
I heard someone say that "Democrats are on the wrong side of the passing a $787 billion stimulus bill...on the wrong side of Global Warming... ehh, Climate Change..on the wrong side of Obama Care...now on the wrong side of Immigration laws." The Democrats are not alone here. We have a Green Party member here in Lake Worth who likes to correct me whenever I use the word "illegal" when speaking on illegal immigration. This is according to her feelings about it rather than what the law states on it.
What this is about is following the law of the United States when it comes to immigration. We are not all misinformed as Commissioner Golden stated. Did we all wake up one morning and decide that we didn't know what following the law meant? One thing about it, she at least lets us know exactly where she stands on this issue and I can respect the fact that she stands up for her personal convictions. However, this is not about "personal" beliefs. We are not all ignorant. We are in the majority of citizens who believe in law and order and will not stand for anything less. Anarchy is not in our dictionary. I would think that abiding by the laws of the U.S. should be some sort of a requisite when you take elected office. Too bad it is not. To pretend that you have no idea what the real reason for The Mentoring Center is, does not make us ignorant.
Here's another set of numbers from the new NBC/WSJ poll:
"Nearly two-thirds of Americans back Arizona's new anti-illegal immigration law, which makes it a state crime for a person to be in the country illegally. The law also requires local and state law enforcement officials to question people about their immigration status if they suspect they’re in the country illegally.
65% percent favor this law, while 34 percent oppose it. But those numbers are essentially reversed among Latinos -- with 70 percent of them opposing the law, and only 27 percent supporting it.
In the latest Pew Research conducted between May 6-9, 73% of all people polled said that they would have no problem producing evidence that they lived in this country.
Enforcing the law is only discrimination in the minds of those who throw our laws back in our face and continue to come into our country illegally. I have to wonder why the liberal left media continues to emphasize all those against Arizona Law and Federal Law. Why do they not concentrate on the majority of citizens who are fed up with people crossing our borders and costing us billions of dollars.
The statute also prohibits localities from adopting any policies that allow less than full enforcement of the immigration laws, thus prohibiting so-called sanctuary provisions. Lake Worth is a Sanctuary city.
Last week, President Obama said the following:
1. We need to create an orderly border. The federal government takes securing our borders very seriously.
2. We need to make sure that businesses are following the rules.
3. We need to ensure that illegals are held accountable: learn English; pay back-taxes; that they get at the back of the line for citizenship. He wants accountability for "everybody."
4. Create a pathway to citizenship
5. The Arizona law was formed out of expressed frustration of the U.S. not fixing a broken immigration system. The President says that the Arizona Law has the potential to be discriminatory. He is having his Justice Department look into its legality.
This is all it's ever been about...following the rules...following the law. WE get it Commissioner. Why doesn't Lake Worth?
