Arizona's immigration bill might be the first of many to block illegal aliens
Arizona is known to be the main entry point for illegal aliens, and this has been a thorn in their side for decades. Some say it stands to reason to also be a main entry point for drugs, but California and Texas seem to be running neck and neck for that prize.
Local authorities have finally had enough. A new bill will help to control illegal immigration, and it gives sweeping new local powers to determine a person's legal status. Traditionally, this has been the domain of Federal authorities, but since little or nothing has been done, Arizona is taking the "bull by the horns".
If this bill is signed into law by Governor Jan Brewer, it will set a precedent for other states to do the same, including Louisiana.
It won't go unchallenged however. The Federal Government will not want to relinquish power, but there is also some US immigrate rights groups criticizing the bill already approved by Arizona's Congress.
Simply put, it will make it an offence for a person to lack the proper paperwork, not only holding a job, but to take up residence. The National Council of La Raza state that the bill would turn all Latinos, legal or otherwise, into suspects. But it does seem evident to all that the numbers are increasing exponentially, and damaging our economy in many very evident ways.
Arizona, as reported by the BBC, will now have the toughest immigration laws in the country. This sounds so significant and extraordinary, but it is nothing more but a very overdue implementation of America's right to a secure border, without which, no sovereignty can be attained.
The taking back of America by the people will be costly, as Federal revenge is becoming more evident for those who stand up to them.
Bobby Jindal should sit up and take notice. If he does not, it will show his true allegiance. The bill's author, state Sen. Russell Pearce, said it simply "takes the handcuffs off of law enforcement and lets them do their job."
