AG Holder V. Arizona

When the Governor of Arizona Jan Brewer Signed into law SB1070 the Immigration Bill that has really stirred up a hornets nest in the country as a whole, and apparently a stinging blow to the radical left in their agenda to push for new Amnesty legislation. What Arizona has done is taken action to protect its State Sovereignty , stop the theft of the state's resources by illegal aliens. Just prior to signing the Bill into law, President Obama is quoted as saying, this legislation is "misguided"and it "threatened to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans, as well as the trust between police and their communities that is crucial to keeping us safe." More of the Presidents vacuous platitudes. This Immigration Bill appears to pretty much mirror the Federal Immigration Bill. So why are the Washington politicians threatening AZ With law suits have their skivvies in a wad?

Well, what Arizona and Governor Brewer have done is a very effective way of exposing the absence of any Federal Government efforts to protect our borders, and seriously address the illegal immigration problem, not only in the Arizona, but every state in the union. The onus, and the spotlight is now on the Obama Administration. They have been exposed to the nation, and have the proverbial "Deer in the headlights "expression.

All of the preamble brings us to the apparently inept Attorney General of the United States Eric Holder. First he was going to sue the State of Arizona, calling the Immigration Bill unconstitutional, then he wasn't sure what action he would take. This kind of indecision from anyone in high office does not inspire confidence. On May 13 a House Judiciary Committee meeting took place, and Representative Ted Poe of (R)Texas, questioned AG Eric Holder, and it went like this (in part):

Rep. Poe: "So Arizona, since the federal government fails to secure the border, desperately passed laws to protect its own people. The law is supported by 70 % of the people in AZ, 60% percent of all Americans, and 50% of all Hispanics, according to The Wall Street Journal/NBC poll done just this week. And I understand that you may file a law suit against the law. It seems to me the administration ought to be enforcing border security and immigration laws and not challenge them and that the administration is on the wrong side of the American people. Have you read the Arizona law?"

AG Holder: "I have not had a chance to-I've glanced at it. I have not read it."

Poe: "It's 10 pages. It's a lot shorter than the health care bill, which was 2,000 pages long. I'll give you my copy of it , if you would like to-to have a copy. Even though you haven't read the law, do you have an opinion as to whether it's Constitutional?"

At his point I will not quote the entire interview with Rep. Poe, by now if you have read this far you have an idea where Rep. Poe is going with his questioning. I will include more of AG Holders answers to Poe's question, which should give more insight to what kind of AG we have with the Obama administration.(Hobbit73)

AG Holder: "I have not really-I have not been briefed yet. We, as I said, have underway review of the law. I have not been briefed by the people who have been responsible-who are responsible for that review."

AG Holder: "I am sure I will read the law in anticipation of that briefing. I know that they will put that in front of me, I'll spend a good evening reading that law."

AG Holder:" Well, what I've said is that I've not made up my mind. I've only made-made the comments that I've made on the basis of things that I've been able to glean by reading newspaper accounts, obviously, television, talking to people who are on the review panel, on the review team looking at the law."

The President, the AG, and the Obama administration are in deep do-do on this one, and they are scrambling to find someone to point fingers at. Well, It will not be Jan Brewer. She is dead on in taking action to protect the people of Arizona, and the sovereignty of the state of Arizona. I hope other states will man-up and take the same kinds of action that Jan Brewer has for her state.
You have to love Arizona!
God Bless America, and all who love her.
