Attorney General Eric Holder, at the direction of alleged president Barack Obama, has now officially filed a lawsuit against Arizona for attempting to enforce federal immigration laws.
Presumably, the lawsuit will allow the current administration to keep the southern border wide open...even though a recent study shows that illegal immigrants are costing American taxpayers $113 billion each and every year.
Holder's lawsuit argues that Arizona is violating the Constitution (which Holder hasn't actually read, but has heard about on TV) by enforcing federal laws... which should be done only by federal officers.
Oh?
This being the case, all 50 states will now need to instruct their police departments to quickly back away from assisting in the apprehension of people who commit federal crimes, including those who violate the Violence Against Women Act, the Victims of Trafficking Act, or the Matthew Shephard/James Byrd Jr Hate Crimes Prevention Act.
In fact, the crux of the government's case against Arizona is that police officers are committing a breach of law by simply trying to ascertain whether a suspect might be guilty of a federal crime... meaning that state and local cops, just to be safe, should turn their backs on any act of violence that even might rise to a federal level.
In other words, the police can stop your car if you have a burned out tail light...but can't ask why you also have the body of a black man (or woman, or gay) being dragged from your rear bumper.
Most experts expect the case against Arizona to drag on and on... and eventually be lost by the Obama administration. These same experts - conservative and liberal - agree that the entire exercise amounts to pure political posturing from democrats to gain Hispanic votes at any cost.
And in the meanwhile, the president who paints himself as a modern-day Lincoln continues to foment ethnic and racial division and has officially fired the first shot in the New War Between the States.

How would Hispanics feel if they knew the truth about President Obama? In 2008 the Dapartment of Homland Security (DHS) under President Bush deported 369,221 people. In 2009 DHS under President Obama deported 387,790 people; 18,569 more than Bush did. In 2007 Senator Obama voted in favor of an amendment that gutted the legal temporary worker program and lead to its downfall. What would hard Left liberals say if they knew that crime in Arizona is dropping?
Anonymous: Just as the anti-gunners do not associate the drop in crime that occurs with relaxation of gun control laws, I'm sure the libs will not associate the drop in crime in AZ with their enforcement of federal immigration law. They simply cannot - it is in conflict with the ideology that informs their every move. Such conflicts cannot possibly exist in their mind, so they cannot even see them.
Stilton: Perhaps having all 50 states back away from their enforcement of immigration laws is the goal of this suit? Win or lose, there will be a reticence on the part of cash-strapped state governments to become embroiled in such costly, drawn out litigation as I see this becoming. Remember: CMOTUS is controlled by a very thoughtful and sly puppet master...
YET when the Supreme Court rules that we do indeed still have a Constitutional right to "keep and bear arms", and the Chicago Mayor decides to make as many new laws as possible to still continue to restrict his people from enjoying "federal freedom", if you will, nobody says a word.
So why not sue California for its environmental laws that are more stringent than federal law? NRO has a great story regarding Rhode Island and how they have been doing pretty much what the Arizona law calls for.
So, once upon a time there was a country whose people were NOT trying to escape by any means possible, where honest people could make a decent living doing work that was productive and legal, and whose National government had as its primary function protecting these hardworking honest people from "all enemies, foreign and domestic" and otherwise pretty much left them alone to pursue happiness any way they wanted. Then the National government became infested with lawyers and professional politicians, and now the honest working people are having their money confiscated, their medical needs abrogated, their protection against foreign invasion eliminated, their protection from criminals within and without the country stopped, and their own confiscated money used to support and encourage illegal aliens to invade the country, take their jobs, and commit all manner of violent crimes with absolutely no fear of punishment, since police officers are not allowed to enforce the laws of the land that apply to everyone else for fear the National Government will put THEM in jail. Time for us to flee the country, then snealk back over the border as illegals so we can live off the land as free people once again. Starting to get that Alice in Wonderland feeling; need the good mushrooms, not the ones that got me to this wierd place I don't recognize or understand anymore........
"drag on and on"
Good'n
Front Woodsman- Obama put out the mushrooms that got us into this sickeningly hallucinogenic place. You can recognize them by his hand-lettered labels that say "EAT ME."
If this destructive attitude and policy continues, it will all naturally come to an end, the same end all corrupt govts come to...they will cease to exist...but all the collateral damage to get there, generations of hardship and suffering on the part of the folks. Pray it dont go that way
Pyro - Pray it dont go that way
Amen
Meanwhile, stock up on precious metals - by which, of course, I mean brass and lead, in case you need to find your own food..
