Federal Judge Blocks Will of the People: SB1070 on Hold

by James Buchanan. Despite all the propaganda from the media, three quarters of Americans want illegal aliens deported. One recent article notes “Three-quarters of Americans want to see the number of illegal immigrants decreased and a substantial majority put more priority on stopping illegal immigration than they do in finding a path for immigrants to become legal residents, according to a CNN/Opinion Research poll conducted May 21-23. The 76 percent who say they want the population of illegals decreased is the highest figure in CNN polls dating back to June 2006… Sixty percent want the emphasis of the government to be on stopping illegals from entering the country and deporting those who are here…”

With this kind of massive public support for enforcing immigration law, you might think new laws like Arizona’s SB 1070 would have little trouble. But the reality is that an army of militant liberals in the Democrat party and judicial positions are always poised to deny the will of the people whenever it doesn’t suit their agenda.

A recent news article reports “a federal judge dealt a serious rebuke to Arizona’s toughest-in-the-nation immigration law. The judge put most of the crackdown on hold just hours before it was to take effect. The ruling by U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton shifts the immigration debate to the courts and sets up a lengthy legal battle that may not be decided until the Supreme Court weighs in. Republican Gov. Jan Brewer said the state will likely appeal the ruling and seek to get the judge’s order overturned. But for now, opponents of the law have prevailed: The provisions that most angered opponents will not take effect, including sections that required officers to check a person’s immigration status while enforcing other laws.”

The whole issue about Arizona’s immigration law SB1070 is whether the US will have ANY serious immigration enforcement or whether the minority of Americans, who want open borders get their way. Unfortunately, almost all Democrat politicians and a considerable percentage of alleged Republican politicians, secretly oppose ANY border enforcement.

The Obama regime filed a lawsuit against Arizona’s immigration law demonstrating their contempt for the law and their desire to turn America into a Third World garbage heap, where Democrats will perpetually have a majority of the vote, which is all they care about.

There was absolutely NO legitimate reason for this federal judge to rule against the Arizona immigration law. The heart of the law was a word-for-word copy of existing federal immigration law. All the professional liars running around claiming that the law is un-Constitutional or conflicts with federal law are in reality raging against the fact that a large majority of Americans favor deporting illegal aliens and the state of Arizona is trying to do something about this problem.

There’s an old saying that “Justice delayed is justice denied”. Arizona passed SB 1070 because illegal aliens are bankrupting their state. Rather than ignore the problem and go bankrupt, like California is choosing to do, Arizona chose to tackle the illegal immigration problem and put into law a reasonable process of checking immigration papers at traffic stops and slowly rounding up the illegal aliens for deportation.

In a way, it’s good that this battle is coming out right before the November elections. It should remind Americans that they need to vote the Democrats out of power if they want anything done about illegal immigration. Also, they need to vote liberal Republicans out of office so we don’t get pro-Amnesty traitors like George W. Bush or John McCain rising to the top of the party.

Speaking of the devil, John McCain’s primary is coming up on August 24th. If anyone in Arizona wants to send a message that they want to stop illegal immigration, they should vote against McCain in the open primary. Feel free to support J.D. Hayworth, McCain’s rival, at his website here.
