I do not blame the people who cross over the border as much the Americans who send out the completely MIXED SIGNALS. It is like putting a saucer of cream and a plate of tuna on your front porch and then screaming at the stray cats who show up!

We have had idiotic court decisions: (a) allowing dual citizenship, (b) insisting on the RIGHT of trespassers to free medical care, (c) insisting on the RIGHT of trespassers to free education, (d) the RIGHT of trespassers to collect “welfare” from taxpaying citizens. We have had legislatures and politicians and Presidents who (a) give preferential “in-state” tuition to non-citizen trespassers over citizens, (b) refuse to build a wall to enforce the law, (c) do nothing to appeal and/or repeal idiotic court decisions, and (d) denounce those advocate enforcing the law.

What the country at large is now witnessing is what Californians witnessed firsthand sixteen years ago with Proposition 187. I distinctly remember being in junior high and hearing and seeing the protests and mass school “ditch” days with hundreds of mexican students walking out of classes and joining the La Raza organizers waiting for them on street corners. This is old news to myself and others, and for those of us living in the bankrupt and ungovernable republic of califas we are a warning and a grave harbinger of things to come.

Up until now I was a fan of Marco Rubio. He said all the right things about all the right subjects. However, anyone with a medium amount of good sense can’t possibly support “comprehensive immigration reform” as it is meant by our political leaders. I am always skeptical of “litmus tests” to support or not support candidates but along with being pro-abortion, or anti second amendment rights, actual support of immigration reform is a litmus test that can’t be ignored. To be on the wrong side of these issues is not only dangerous to the country but indicative of an individual who cannot be trusted to support America when the chips are down.
And, if you haven’t noticed, the chips are down now. I notice the howls of indignation coming from the leaders of the Mexican government about the new Arizona law. I am waiting to hear some of our Republican leaders stand up for the USA and tell the Mexicans where to get off. I suspect I’ll be waiting for a long time. To hell with the Americans. We can’t possibly take a chance on irritating the Mexicans. The Mexican president will be in Washington next month. I’m sure Obama won’t miss this golden opportunity to apologize for America and then assume his favorite position when talking to some third world leader.

Thanks for the link to your 2003 article. Your quote below is right on the money.

By focusing exclusively on the illegal immigration no-brainer, however, most media scribes and immigration watchdogs are providing a useful diversion from the crux of the immigration problem. And playing into the hands of an administration that wants us to forget that legal immigration is the real catastrophe.

Folks, AZ is now going to force DC into tackling immigration. However, I am worried that Congress' action will be similar to their action in response to the minutemen in 2007 in which they attempted to reclassify illegals as legal and hence, problem solved. As this issue proceeds, please don't get taken in by the false choice between legal and illegal immigration. I've been hearing conservatives on radio who are defending the AZ law by saying they support legal immigration. It seems you can't talk about this issue without first establishing your bona fides by declaring your support for legal immigration. That's not the response I want to hear. The real issue here is MASS immigration. The future demographic time bomb is only going to happen if we continue to take in 1 to 2 million, legal and illegal combined, per year for the next 40 years. We need to return to a level of 200,000 total immigrants per year, period. Of course this 200K should include the high IQ achievers who can actually add value. Besides my desire not to become a third world nation, I don't like the current trend which will make our population increase from today's 300 million to over 400 million by 2050. Just think, today we have 100 Senators and 435 Representatives who do a lousy job representing us. When we hit 400 million, we'll still have the same 535 members of Congress. If that is not watering down your voice in government, what is? I could go on and on about the increase use of water resources, infrastructure, etc. that will be required with this extra 100 million. But most of you realize this. So please remember, the real issue here is stopping MASS immigration. [As your host has been insisting since ... 2003, and as her regular readers know. Few on this space pay attention to "conservative" pundits. Immigration Archives are HERE.]

Just read on Drudge that the San Francisco city attorney is calling for a San Francisco boycott of Arizona. It seems there is a silver lining behind every cloud.

The recent passage of SB 1070 was not “misguided” as labeled by our president, but was a carefully constructed and twice legally vetted legislation that the overwhelming majority of LEGAL Arizona residents support! An online poll (today) by FOX news had even more startling results: 94% are in favor of it!
We in Arizona are indeed on the front lines of illegal immigration. It costs our state over $1 Billion dollars annually to pay for the illegal immigrants. We are the number one city for kidnapping and it is entirely related to illegal immigrants.
The effete eastern politicians seem to have forgotten that illegal immigrants, regardless of the country of origin, have broken our laws and invaded our country-and they complain about us wanting to stop it! Give me a break! If you stand for the illegals, you do not stand for the rule of law. The rule of law is what has helped to make our country great. We need to get back to the basics in politics.
We simply had enough. We know how to fix the problem and now our police officers have had their “political handcuffs” removed. Scream all you want-if you are here illegally you will be arrested and deported. End of story!

Well, Sistah Sarah is supporting mentor McCain over J. D. Hayworth – but then that could be out of loyalty to the one who annointed her into the limelight.

Even way back in the 1950’s when I was a kid, I was always amazed at the numbers of loud voices,from New York, Washington DC, Hollywood etc, who set themselves up as self appointed judges of people in far away states. Evil Mississippi and Alabama come to mind. I’m amazed that Arizona politicians actually had the cajones to say “enough is enough” in the face of the elitist, leftist firestorm that is sure to come. Obama is going to continue his long range sucking up to La Raza and any other America hating, minority group that has two votes and a donation. I think it’s time we started giving Obama the respect and cooperation he deserves. None.
