You wonder how this is supposed to turn out. Is no one supposed to enforce federal law?

The federal government just needs the ability to ignore the law, the same way a drug addict needs a fix.

I'v said it before-- the "rule of law" is for suckers. It does not matter or apply to the ruling elite that are in charge of the federal government today.

[The same "spontaneous" comment posted by SPO101 on several other sites.]
I want AZ Governor Jan Brewer to show papers to prove she’s a human being. I think it was FOX that did a show on extraterrestrials that live among us, and Governor Brewer does resemble some alien from a B Movie, “Invasion of the Brain Snatchers”, right? I’ve have my suspicions about people like Jan Brewer, Mitch McConnell and Karl Rove because of their lack of human qualities.
As far as the immigration issue goes… Republicans never made a big deal about immigration enforcement during Bush/Cheney but NOW all conservative hell is breaking loose… even though the Obama Administration is deporting MORE illegal’s than Bush ever did. Maybe we should adopt Ronald Wilson Reagan’s immigration policy (look it up morons). [This would be the 1986 law that both President Bush and President Obama refused to enforce. The law gave amnesty to illegal aliens in the U.S. in 1986, on the condition that illegal immigration stop completely to allow for the assimilation of those immigrants already in the U.S.]
And funny how I didn’t hear NOT ONE WORD on the Cable News about AZ Gov. Jan Brewer’s connection with the Corrections Corp of America. Not to mention I could stop this immigration problem with one thing… ARREST ALL THOSE conservative business people WHO ARE HIRING THE ILLEGAL WORKERS! Republican Party = Hypocrisy
On 7-28-10 I was watching Republicans on Morning Joe (MSNBC) preach about being ADULTS when it comes to our economic meltdown. I say BS! The real ADULTS are trying to demand accountability from those who got us in this financial mess. [But no one demands that Congressman Barney Frank and Senator Chris Dodd resign and go to jail for losing $1 trillion with their abuse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.] Republicans want to shift the burden of responsibility on Teachers unions and others in the American working class.
I wonder if the spoiled Silver Spoons on Morning Joe knew how much they hurt Democrats, Progressives, Liberals when they didn’t challenge NJ Gov. Christie. NOW all over the internet the Conservative wacko groupies are swooning all over Christie like he was a rock star. Of course, because of these Republican low grade thought processes, the right wing monkeys now consider teachers, poor people and immigrants the biggest threat to our economy.
What kind of Americans are stupid enough to believe decent wages/working conditions, regulation, Wall St. reform and making the rich pay their fair share are BAD THINGS! Republicans will take tax dollars away from grade schools to give BP tax breaks/subsidies. DON’T BELIEVE ME, you rightwing numbskulls, CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELVES! [President Obama received the biggest campaign contributions from BP, and has not insisted on tightening regulations of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.]

So, your logic is that because Bush didn't do something then it's completely OK for Obama to continue to do nothing? If anything, I figured a left wingnut like you would want Obama to do the opposite of Bush who you seem to despise so much. How about telling your boy to enforce the "rule of law" that he loves to mention in speeches.

We need to have a discussion in this country about what the circumstances were which brought about this entire Immigration battle with primarily Mexicans. To his credit, Rick Sanchez at CNN seems to be the only journalist who has scratched the surface. Mexico was an agricultural economy consisting mostly of corm. The American farm interests sucked the life out of Mexico's agri-economy with the help of self-serving members of Congress leaving behind a country poor and fractured.
The once robust and colorful Mexican culture has been reduced to rubble with a police and military so corrupt that no one has half a chance to realize their dreams. That's why we have the migrant farm workers coming over the border. This is why Mexicans will do almost anything to come to the United States because they believe the only chance they have to lift their families out of poverty is to cross over. Mexicans and Canadians are Americans, too. We don't need to open the borders, we need to recognize pour role and mitigate the losses. A prosperous North American continent is the the best interest of every American even outside the United States.

“House Bill 2013” and “SB1070”
0 = Arizona
2 = USA/ Our Constitution/ We the People of the United States
We are a country that is ruled by the Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence, not by the majority of the day. When you do not know the principles in these documents, therein lays the problem in losing when you are challenged in court.
This month of July 2010, our U.S. Federal courts have found the so called State of Arizona hate filled legislation namely “House Bill 2013” and “SB1070” Un-constitution (So much for the intellect of Jan Brewer, “Did you read the bills you signed?”). But we all know that they will go crying to the Supreme Court of the United States, please, please, please go. We will fight you in Arizona, any other state, and yes in Washington DC. We will not tire, we will not be silent and we will persevere, I promise you.
In my opinion the Republican Party has been taken over the most extreme of clans; the Baggers, Birthers and Blowhards (people who love to push their beliefs and hate on others while trying to take away the rights of those they just hate) and that’s who they need to extract from their party if they real want to win in November. Good Luck, because as they said in WACO, “We Ain’t Coming Out”.
It’s all about politics: Jan Brewer you were never elected to be Governor, but you have no problem trying to get elected on the back of undocumented workers, you loser (sure you may win but the long-term effects to your so called State is just beginning). Here is a partial list of your hate filled legislation;
1. S.B. 1070,
2. House Bill 2013
3. No permit conceal weapons law,
4. The famous Birthers law,
5. Banning Ethnic studies law,
6. Banning human-animal hybrid (aren’t most GOPers crossed with the Reptilian race?)
or are they just giving Laurence Gonzales, some great promotion material for his new book “Lucy”.
7. Could she be behind the Mural in Prescott, Arizona, ordered to be whiten,
8. On deck to pass, no citizenship to babies born to undocumented workers,
9. If she can read she should look up Arizona’s House Bill 2779 from two years ago (which was un-constitution and failed when legally challenged),
10. The boycotted Martin Luther King Day, what idiots don’t want another holiday? Yes, you guessed it Arizona.
Well Arizona, you can keep boycotting new holidays, passing hate filled legislation and the rest of our country will continue to challenge you in court of law and Boycott your so-called state.
Lets face it, no one can real believe anything that comes out of Brewer’s mouth, in an interview, this year, in an attempt to gain sympathy, she first said her father had died in Germany fighting the Nazi in World War II (which ended 1945) but of course we find out the truth that father was never in Germany and died in California in 1955. But we are suppose to believe everything else she says, right!
As they say in the World Cup: Gooooooooal!
