arizona: Last week Shrillary let the cat out of the bag when she said the the Obama administration is building a case against Arizona over it's illegal immigration laws. I found this excerpt from a similar law in Missouri: 28.824. All law enforcement officers shall inquire into the citizenship and immigration status of any person under arrest for a violation of any state law or municipal ordinance, regardless of the person's national origin, ethnicity, or race. In all such cases where a person indicates that he or she is not a citizen or national of the United States, the law enforcement agent shall verify with the federal government whether the alien is lawfully or unlawfully present in the United States, under 8 U.S.C. 1373(c). If the alien is verified to be unlawfully present in the United States, the law enforcement officer shall cooperate with any request by federal immigration authorities to detain the alien or transfer the alien to the custody of the federal government." This law as passed in Missouri in 2008 with 83% of the voters approving. Why is Obama only going after Arizona?|||Arizona's law is not racial profiling. That is clear to him and to anyone who has actually read the law. Obama has another objective. Prevent Arizona and all states from enforcing the immigration laws. He is refusing to do his sworn duty and he is not enforcing the law. He is NOT being a President. Obama has one objective. Create crisis after crisis. He WANTS immigration to become a huge crisis. That way he will get to push through the legislation He wants and get his end goal. His goal is to fling open our borders so we can be "peacefully" invaded and the American society will be destroyed. He gets to call for a new Constitution that can accommodate the new American society and assure an orderly society under the control of the President. It is just another part of the mantra of the obama Administration: Never let a Crisis go to waste. They create one crisis after another. This will continue for as long as he is in the White House. Just as he is blocking the cleanup of the oil leak, he is blocking the enforcing of immigration laws. Enforcing the law IS the JOB of the President. Arizona would not need their new law if Obama would only do his job. We do not have a President. We have a crisis creator and his objective is CHANGE! That change is nefarious in nature.|||OH NO!! Obama thinks the federal government should create immigration legislation. Doesn鈥檛 he know that the Supreme Court has ruled that the Congressional power to regulate naturalization, in Article 1, Section 8, of the U.S. Constitution States includes the power to regulate immigration. LET鈥橲 IMPEACH HIM!! Article 1 - The Legislative Branch Section 8 - Powers of Congress To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization,|||Obama shouldn't forget the real Americans. The more he goes after AZ, the more he digs himself in a hole. His policies of taxing working Americans and feeding the poor isn't working.|||Because the Arizona law is an obvious violation of Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution, which gives the Federal Congress exclusive authority to regulate immigration and naturalization.|||I see none of the liberals here are going to answer your question but it is interesting. My thoughts are that Arizona has embarassed Obama and highlighted his intentions to give illegal amnesty.|||So that they can make an example out of Arizona, let more illegals in, who will vote for them and Obama can keep his power. Rule 1: All those with power are afraid to lose it - no matter who they are.|||Sweet! Other states do have smart laws on the books! Now if we could only get them to enforce them!|||Votes|||To take our attention/minds off more pressing issues.|||Laws are very tricky things, you may have noticed the phrase, "of any person under arrest for a violation of any state law or municipal ordinance." and "in all such cases (under arrest for violation etc) where a person indicates that he or she is not a citizen" So before your papers are checked, you need to be 'under arrest'. Arrest first check later. Which is fairly standard, if you commit a crime you lose your right to privacy. They can investigate all they want. As I understand it the AZ is different. They don't have to be under arrest to have to show papers. It makes a difference. Other states do have laws that cover illegals, and they aren't in violation of the Federal laws.|||Because the DOJ headed up by Eric "defends the terrorists"Holder, and operating under order from Barack Hussein "I hate America" 0bama, hate the laws and regulations set forth for immigrating into our land as well as they seem to loath Republicans and other free thinkers who wish to uphold the laws that they have failed to enforce.You see the illegalcrats know that their days are numbered, unless they circumvent the laws of the land and allow illegals access to our country and of course register them as democrats|||What we should insist upon is that all laws must be enforced or repealed. There are literally thousands of laws on the books that are not enforced. That is ridiculous. This is a nation of laws. Laws should never be ignored. If they are no longer required repeal them. If they are inadequate, modify them. If they exist enforce them. Enforce them vigorously. Enforce them equally. What we are doing with immigration laws is enforcing them selectively. That is discriminatory and should never be allowed. There are lots of laws that exist on both State and Federal books. Murder, Robbery, Arson etc. One may prosecute on either level. But imagine the dilemma if the Federal Government could dictate the law and prohibit the States from doing so, then fail to enforce it. The fact that there is a Federal Law does not prohibit States from passing a similar one or even a more effective or stringent one. I think that States should start passing laws that make hiring illegal immigrants punishable by a fine of $20k per offense. They should start passing laws that make it illegal to rent or sell housing to anyone who is not able to prove they are here legally. May I suggest a new protest slogan? POWER (back) TO THE PEOPLE! *
