ILLEGAL Immigration

Can common sense ever prevail in this politically correct climate we live in? Last week Arizona passed a law that will go into effect later this summer regarding law enforcements ability to question the residency status of a suspect in an unrelated matter. The bills broad instruction to police that when there's "reasonable suspicion" that a person is an ILLEGAL immigrant, a "reasonable attempt shall be made, when practicable" to check for documents. This common sense bill has liberals wetting themselves.

The state's top prosecutor fears it will be used excessively and will lead to ethnic profiling. Critics have exaggerated the bill now makes "walking while Hispanic" a crime. Wrong. The crime is not walking or being Hispanic. The only crime is living in the Unites States in violation of immigration laws. Arizona, with is proximity to Mexico, finds itself in an especially difficult situation. Many ILLEGAL aliens reside in Arizona and soak up entitlements from the state. It is in the Arizona taxpayer's best interest to let police act on suspicion of a person being in Arizona ILLEGALLY.

What seems like common sense is disputed. Not surprisingly, President Obama over the weekend stuck his federal nose into state business by calling it “misguided” and “irresponsible”. Why would he bother? Because Hispanics are the last hope of the democrat party. If the democrats can look like they are acting in the best interest of Hispanics, they hope to retain power. If not this year, that support is expected by the 2012 presidential elections. It is all a power play.

As the debate grows louder, notice how the liberals never say the word ILLEGAL. They really can't. The liberal argument evaporates if they truthfully frame it as being about ILLEGAL immigration. Their words are reduced to that of drunk monkeys mumbling stupid phrases if they tell the truth.
