Read The Bill!

Arizona passes a law to help protect the interest of their people. A law that makes illegal immigration, illegal. Why? Because the federal government won't take any action. So our Attorney General comes out and condemns the bill, but why? While being questioned by Congressman Ted Poe (R-Texas) he admits that he hasn't even read the bill (see below). So how can you condemn it without reading it? This is how we got govenment controlled health care, cap and trade as well as all of the other bills passed by this current Congress. We have to elect representatives and leaders that will read the bill before voting to make it law!

Arizona and Immigration

By now you have heard all the pros and cons, arguments for and against, protests, etc. about this immigration bill from AZ. Well, so have I. So I decided to add my 2 bits to the discussion.

With the way the bill is written, I don't see any problem with it. All it does is reinforce the Federal Immigration laws. Asking someone who is stopped for suspicious behavior is not racism, its the law. A police officer doesn't take your word for who you are, you must prove it. When you are stopped for a traffic violation or other offense, the first thing asked for is id. So what is the problem with asking an suspected illegal immigrate who has been stopped, once again been stopped, for some other activity, for id? NOTHING! Officers can't stop them unless they are doing something else suspicious.

If the Federal Government was enforcing the laws already on the books, states wouldn't have to take matters into their own hands.

Wise Words

During this political season let's be reminded of these wise words:

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.
