Judge blocks portions of South Carolina immigration law

BLOOMBERG NEWS — A federal court granted an order sought by the U.S. government blocking enforcement of South Carolina's immigration law. U.S. District Judge Richard Mark Gergel said the U.S. is likely to succeed in its challenge to three sections of the law, according to a filing today in court in Charleston, South Carolina. . . . The federal government on sued Oct. 31, saying the law will impose “significant and counterproductive burdens” on the United States, which claims legal preeminence in setting immigration policy. . . .

National Guard Being Cut On The Border

by Alicia A. Caldwell: The Obama administration will keep a reduced contingent of National Guard troops working along the Mexican border for the next year, the Defense Department said Tuesday.

Starting in January, the force of 1,200 National Guard troops at the border will be reduced to fewer than 300 at a cost of about $60 million, said Paul Stockton, assistant secretary of defense for homeland defense.

The remaining troops will shift their focus from patrolling the border on the ground looking for illegal immigrants and smugglers to aerial surveillance missions using military helicopters and airplanes equipped with high-tech radar and other gear. Exactly where those troops will fly or how many aircraft will be used has not been decided, he said.

"We are basically going from boots on the ground to boots in the air," said David Aguilar, deputy commissioner for Customs and Border Protection. . . . [Full Story]

NumbersUSA: 2011 Iowa Caucuses Television Ad

NumbersUSA: For the two and a half weeks leading up to the Iowa Caucuses, NumbersUSA is running this ad across the state to urge the Presidential Hopefuls to take a position on legal immigration. More than 20 million Americans can't find a full-time job, but Washington will bring in another 1 million legal, working-age immigrants next year. Who should have first crack at new jobs: unemployed Americans or 1 million new legal immigrants?

Obama administration attack against Sheriff Joe Arpraio escalates

The obama administration, you know, possibly the worst, most corrupt administration that this country has seen in it's short history, has intensified it's attack on Sheriff Joe Arpaio from Arizona.

obama, the first muslim illegal alien potus and his equally racist, anti-Semitic Attorney General, eric holder, are claiming that Arpaio has violated federal law and the Constitution of the United States in fighting illegal immigration, illegal aliens in Arizona where Arpaio is Sheriff of Maricopa County. Arpaio has supposedly violated the 'rights' of Mexicans and Hispanics.

illegal alines violate how many laws when they enter the United States illegally?

"Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez, head of the department's Civil Rights Division, claims the DOJ's three-year civil investigation found that the sheriff and his deputies engaged in unconstitutional conduct and violations of federal law that jeopardized his "commitment to fair and effective" law enforcement."

Oh really? I have some problems with this administration, the Attorney General and with this Assistant Attorney General. thomas perez. Any coincidence that this assistant Attorney General is latino or hispanic? With a last name of perez, that seems pretty likely. What about the timing of when this was announced? Right after the Supreme Court announced it would hear arguments for and against Arizona's awesome and much needed immigration bill, S.B.1070.

What about the accusations of civil rights violations and that Sheriff Joe violated the Constitutional 'rights' of illegal aliens from THIS administration that has trounced on, circumvented the Constitution every chance it can? obama, who has stacked his administration with the most vile, racist, anti-Semitic, socialist, progressive, anti-Constitutional American hating traitors that he can find, has the arrogance to accuse the one man who truly stands up for and represents the heart of how this country should be waging the fight against illegal immigration.

Illegal aliens should have NO rights once they cross the border into the United States, period. They deserve nothing but swift deportation back to where ever they came from. The last thing these law breaking illegals deserve are food stamps, free health care, free or very low cost housing, free drivers license(in some states), or ANY legal representation.

Arizona had no choice but to pass SB 1070 as the federal government refuses to enforce the laws that are already in place to fight illegal immigration.

The obama administration, democrats, far left liberal progressives are once again stabbing us, the legal American citizens in the back to pander and buy the latino/hispanic vote for the upcoming elections in 2012.

While the potus is on yet another lengthy holiday(17 days), the average legal American might be lucky enough to have a full time job with benefits, that might pay enough to put on the table and keep the gas tank full for the family car.

This is all wrong. We should be impeaching obama as we speak and preparing to remove every last one of the American hating members of his administration.

We need more people like Sheriff Joe Arpaio now. In fact, we needed them long before yesterday. It is just a matter of time before obama and his henchmen come after Joe Arpaio, next it will be you or me.

Who will be left to speak for us?

From Examiner.com

Just for the record, I refuse to capitalize the names of individuals and any country that show little respect for the United States or our Constitution. Just the way I am.

Obama-Holder crusade against Sheriff Joe intensifies

By Jim Kouri

As his poll numbers continue to plummet, President Barack Obama's hand-picked Attorney General, Eric Holder, this week continued his ongoing crusade against America's best-known sheriff for what he calls discriminatory policing practices involving Latinos.

The Obama Justice Department released of a report on Thursday blasting Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff Joe Arpaio for allegedly violating federal law and the Constitution in his department's handling of illegal aliens. The report accuses the popular sheriff of allowing his deputies to violate the civil rights of Latinos.

The action comes only days after Sheriff Arpaio -- a popular figure among conservatives -- endorsed Texas Governor Rick Perry in his bid for the GOP presidential nomination.

"The Obama Justice Department may not care about the death of a Border Patrol agent (Brian Terry) or about Black Panthers intimidating voters during a presidential election, but Holder's Civil Rights Division head was diligent in his almost three-year crusade against an Arizona lawman who cares about protecting and serving his state's citizens," said former police detective and military intelligence officer Mike Snope

Rick Santorum Opposes Catholic Bishops Amnesty Plan

Rick Santorum

NumbersUSA  -  Republican Presidential Hopeful Rick Santorum criticized the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops during an interview on Iowa public television on Monday. The USCCB have lobbied Congress for amnesty legislation, and over this past weekend, 30 bishops wrote a letter sympathizing with illegal aliens. Santorum is Catholic.

"If we develop the program like the Catholic bishops suggested we would be creating a huge magnet for people to come in and break the law some more," Santorum said. "We'd be inviting people to cross this border, come into this country and with the expectation that they will be able to stay here permanently."

Earlier this year, USCCB President Archbishop Timothy Dolan wrote to Congress, "We realize that reform must be based on respect for and implementation of the law, and for the legitimate and timely question of national security ... Equally, however, it must defend the rights and dignity of all peoples, recognizing that human dignity comes from God and does not depend on where people were born or how they came to our nation."

Santorum thinks the approach outlined by the bishops would encourage more illegal immigration. "We have to have rules and we have to keep those rules in America, or we would be a magnet for more people who want to break the law," he said.

Santorum also said that offering an amnesty to illegal aliens would be a slight to the families that came to America the legal way. "[E]verybody who broke the law came here and we’re going to let you in – and those folks, well, sorry, you’re chumps, you played by the rules."

For more information on Rick Santorum and the rest of the 2012 Presidential Hopefuls, see our comparison grid. Also, read Roy's blog about the letter from the 30 Catholic bishops released this weekend.

Rasmussen: Majority Support Arizona-Like Immigration Law in Their State

Rasmussen Reports - The U.S. Supreme Court Monday announced it will decide whether the Arizona immigration law passed last year violates the Constitution, and a new survey finds that half of voters still support a similar immigration law for their own state.

Today Rasmussen Reports released the results of their latest national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Votersregarding the Arizona styled immigration law. Results:
- 52% favor passage of an immigration law similar to Arizona’s in their state
- 34% oppose such a law in their state
- 15% are undecided
. . . . [Read More]  * It appears that rounding of the result percentages has caused a minor $1 variation

Our Southern Border And The People Who Protect It

The American Legion's Burn Pit: Have another great video from the NRA's Patriot Files, and an article that segues nicely with it.  We'll start with the article from the Washington Post which looks at National Guard Deployments to the border, and whether they were successful:

President Obama’s decision last year to send 1,200 National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border may have been smart politics, but a growing number of skeptics say the deployment is an expensive and inefficient mission that has made little difference in homeland security.

Critics of the deployment include budget hawks, who say it is a waste of money, and residents here along the border, who say they are tired of seeing armed troops in their back yard.

Most of the criticism of the deployment focuses on its costs and benefits. The 1,200 National Guard troops have helped Border Patrol agents apprehend 25,514 illegal immigrants at a cost of $160 million — or $6,271 for each person caught.

“As a mayor, I am not going to say we don’t want more security. But as a taxpayer? I would say something different,” said John David Franz, mayor of Hidalgo, in Texas’s Rio Grande Valley.

Proponents of the mission stress that the guardsmen serve as a deterrent to drug smugglers and illegal immigrants — a role that is impossible to measure in dollars.

Naturally it would be tough to do a cost benefit analysis on this because some of the benefits of the patrols can't be measured, that certainly makes sense. None the less, that price tag is a bit scary. I still prefer some border patrol, and increased attempts to dissuade folks from coming here, but alas the courts have almost universally struck down all efforts to remove the social net that lures people here. But, there is no accounting for the bravery of the folks who work there, as is made clear in this video:

Illegal Aliens, In-State Tuition And The Law

by Mike Brownfield, Morning Bell, Heritage Foundation: Consider it an illegal fringe benefit for illegal immigrants. Today, 12 states allow individuals who are in the United States illegally to pay the same in-state tuition rates as legal residents of the state without providing the same rates to others in the country who are here legally. And those states are doing it in direct contravention of federal law.

In a new paper, Heritage's Hans von Spakovsky and Charles Stimson explain that in 1996, Congress passed--and President Bill Clinton signed into law--the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act. Under Section 1623 of the law, state colleges and universities are prohibited from providing in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens "on the basis of residence within the State" unless the same in-state rates are offered to all citizens of the United States.

"By circumventing the requirements of § 1623 these states are violating federal law, and the legal arguments offered to justify such actions are untenable, no matter what other policy arguments are offered in their defense," von Spakovsky and Stimson write. Which states are on the list? The offenders include California, Texas, New York, Utah, Washington, Oklahoma, Illinois, Kansas, New Mexico, Nebraska, Maryland, and Connecticut.

Despite these violations, the federal government is doing nothing about it, all while the Justice Department has brought action against Arizona and Alabama for assisting in the enforcement of federal immigration law. ;Meanwhile, President Obama's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement department announced over the summer relaxed standards for pursuing and dismissing immigration cases.

Apart from being illegal, granting in-state tuition to illegal aliens isn't at all popular with the American people, either. A poll conducted in August shows that 81 percent of voters oppose providing in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens--and with good reason. For starters, the cost of doing so is breaking an already strained bank. In 2005, the cost of providing in-state tuition in California was between $222.6 million and $289.3 million; in Texas, it was estimated between $80.2 million and $104.4 million. Von Spakovsky and Stimson note that the policy has other serious flaws, as well:

Granting financial preference to illegal aliens also discriminates against otherwise qualified citizen students from outside the state. Furthermore, states that offer in-state tuition to illegal aliens act as a magnet for more illegal aliens to come to the state. Arguments to the contrary are unpersuasive, and not supported by the facts.

The core issue, though, is the Constitution and the rule of law. And while the United States welcomes immigrants, it is also a country of laws, and there are limits imposed on those who seek citizenship. States cannot cast aside those laws where they see fit, as von Spakovsky and Stimson explain:

Americans take pride in their heritage and this country’s generous policies regarding legal immigration. Yet, as citizens of a sovereign nation, Americans retain the right to decide who can and cannot enter this country—and what terms immigrants and visitors must accept as a condition of residing in the United States. As mandated by the U.S. Constitution, Congress sets America’s immigration policy. State officials have considerable influence in Congress over the crafting of immigration laws, and they may take steps to help enforce federal law. However, state officials cannot act contrary to a congressional statute.

The Supreme Court has held that "The states have no power, by taxation or otherwise, to retard, impede, burden, or in any manner control, the operations of the constitutional laws enacted by Congress to carry into execution the powers vested in the general government." Unfortunately, in offering illegal aliens in-state tuition in violation of federal law, that is exactly what these states are doing. Now it is up to the President and the Attorney General to enforce that law and take action against these 12 states.

Stop the Gingrich Amnesty Plan From Spreading

Tell them you don't support the Gingrich plan that currently would legalize and provide permanent job status to an estimated 3.5 million illegal aliens

www.numbersusa.com/

Whatever you may think of presidential candidate Newt Gingrich or his recently announced legalization plan, the fact that he has broken the 4-year Republican taboo against amnesty has unleashed pro-amnesty efforts everywhere.

We have to nip this thing in the bud. That is why we are providing you the opportunity to send one fax that will go to:
* your state Representative
* your state Senator
* your U.S. Representative
* your 2 U.S. Senators
* your governor
* your President

We need some 10,000 elected officials in these positions across the country to know that the Gingrich Amnesty trial balloon needs to be deflated.

Right now, a bunch of polling firms and news media have used this as a chance to do polls that word questions in a way to seem to show that most Americans want most illegal aliens to stay, showing that pro-amnesty doesn't hurt a candidate and causing rumblings through Congress that maybe it does make sense to reconsider amnesty over the next couple of years, after all. The pollsters do this with the Big Trick of never offering voters an option of Attrition Through Enforcement (forcing them to choose either mass deportations or mass legalization).

In short, Mr. Gingrich has revived the whole national debate on amnesty which had been essentially dead after you/we defeated the DREAM amnesty last December. Any chance for amnesty votes was essentially dead until Gingrich revived the idea.

65% Of Voters Oppose Birthright Citizenship.

A new Rasmussen poll shows that 65% of likely U.S. voters oppose birthright citizenship. That means two-thirds of all voters want to end this absurd practice, as most industrialized democracies have already done.

Just because an illegal alien mother gives birth in the U.S. doesn't mean the baby should be a U.S. citizen. Don't you agree? In fact, this form of birthright citizenship is destructive to the rule of law. American citizenship is one of the most precious and sought-after privileges on earth. People wait in line for decades to receive a coveted U.S. green card, if they can get one at all. But we've corrupted the whole process by handing out citizenship and residency to people who do not deserve it.

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) has proposed the Birthright Citizenship Act of 2011 which would stop this practice. The bill has a lot of support in the U.S. House, with 80 co-sponsors. King's bill would require Congress to clarify the meaning of the 14th Amendment to end the practice of automatically granting U.S. citizenship to all U.S.-born children of illegal aliens. We don't need a Constitutional amendment.

Oklahoma State Senator Proposes Guest Worker Program for Illegal Aliens

NumbersUSA: An Oklahoma State Senator has proposed legislation to create a state guest worker program for illegal aliens. Senator Harry Coates of Seminole, Oklahoma submitted Senate Bill 995 last Monday. The bill is a response to House Bill 1804, which cracked down on illegal aliens across the state. The intention of the bill is allow illegal aliens to legally work in the state of Oklahoma, which Coates believes will provide a boost to sales and tax revenues.

"Since the passage of House Bill 1804, we've seen a mass exodus of undocumented immigrants who have taken up residence in Texas and other surrounding states where they pump millions of dollars into those economies," said Coates. "House Bill 1804 did little more than put Oklahoma companies at a disadvantage by sending dedicated, knowledgeable workers to competing companies in other states. Losing that workforce has been devastating for many of Oklahoma's industries including agriculture, energy and construction."

Coates argues that out-of-state companies are now coming to Oklahoma, competing for and winning contracts with the workforce that was driven out of the state by HB 1804.

Under SB 995, the state Department of Labor would be responsible for operating the program. Individuals 18 years or older would be able to purchase a guest worker program for $2000 and find a sponsor who would agree to hire them and provide basic health insurance. For an additional $500, illegal aliens would also be entitled to a immediate family permit that would protect the guest workers immediate family from deportation.

Rep. Randy Terril, the author of HB 1804, called the bill "outrageous", and compared it to selling citizenship. "The bottom line is his proposal is so unbelievably out of touch that I don't think it has a snowball's chance of passing," Terrill said.

Rep. Terril credits HB 1804 with reducing the state's unemployment rate and increasing pay in certain fields. HB 1804 bans workers here illegally from obtaining a government-issued identification card and most forms of public assistance or entitlements. It makes it a felony to harbor, transport, conceal or shelter an illegal alien. The bill also requires public employers to verify the legal status of all employees.

Farmers and Ranchers Security Assistance Program

American Borders has announced a new volunteer program called FARSAP (Farmers and Ranchers Security Assistance Program). Under this program, any rancher or farmer who would like security assistance for his property can get it from our border group. Our group is made up of patriotic former military and law enforcement individuals who believe that since the federal government will not do it's job, we American citizens will! We have ranchers and farmers who are being intimidated and in some cases forced off of their properties, some of which have been in their families since the mid 1800s. These Americans should not be forced to wear body armor, as one federal agent suggested, as they work their fields. Basically, the feds have given up. We haven't! We believe with cooperation between farmers, ranchers and security personnel, a solution can be found.

Since 2005, volunteer border watchers have proven that all it takes to secure a border is boots on the ground. I have personally helped in the apprehension of groups one night, then had no activity the rest of the operation due to smugglers using other routes. This proves that when you have people on site and actively patrol your operation area, smugglers will stay away. We have worked many ranchers properties where illegal activity dropped to near zero levels depending on the size of our security force and the size of the property in question.

The more properties ranchers and farmers lose mean family history that is lost. It also means our food producing systems in this country get tighter and tighter and prices go up. We are looking to stop these problems by offering trained security personnel for those ranchers and farmers who want it. If you know of any ranchers and farmers that are in need of assistance and would like help, please have them contact us at farsaphelp@gmail.com.

Becoming Illegal - Get Your Forms

Letter from an Iowa resident :)

The (Dis)Honorable Tom Harkin
731 Hart Senate Office Building
Phone (202) 224 3254
Washington DC , 20510

Dear Senator Harkin,
As a native Iowan and excellent customer of the Internal Revenue Service, I am writing to ask for your assistance. I have contacted the Department of Homeland Security in an effort to determine the process for becoming an illegal alien and they referred me to you.

My primary reason for wishing to change my status from U.S. Citizen to illegal alien stems from the bill which was recently passed by the Senate and for which you voted. If my understanding of this bill's provisions is accurate, as an illegal alien who has been in the United States for five years, all I need to do to become a citizen is to pay a $2,000 fine and income taxes for three of the last five years. I know a good deal when I see one and I am anxious to get the process started before everyone figures it out.

Simply put, those of us who have been here legally have had to pay taxes every year so I'm excited about the prospect of avoiding two years of taxes in return for paying a $2,000 fine. Is there any way that I can apply to be illegal retroactively? This would yield an excellent result for me and my family because we paid heavy taxes in 2004 and 2005.

Additionally, as an illegal alien I could begin using the local emergency room as my primary health care provider. Once I have stopped paying premiums for medical insurance, my accountant figures I could save almost $10,000 a year.

Another benefit in gaining illegal status would be that my daughter would receive preferential treatment relative to her law school applications , as well as 'in-state' tuition rates for many colleges throughout the United States for my son.

Lastly, I understand that illegal status would relieve me of the burden of renewing my driver's license and making those burdensome car insurance premiums. This is very important to me given that I still have college age children driving my car.

If you would provide me with an outline of the process to become illegal (retroactively if possible) and copies of the necessary forms, I would be most appreciative.

Thank you for your assistance.

Your Loyal Constituent, (hoping to reach 'illegal alien' status rather than just a bonafide citizen of the USA )
Donald Ruppert
Burlington , IA

12 States Provide In-State Tuition Discounts to Illegal Aliens

by Tierra Warren: Federal immigration law prohibits states from providing in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens unless the same rates are offered to all U.S. citizens.

But that hasn’t stopped 12 states from doing just that.

Simply put, these states are breaking federal law, Heritage Foundation legal scholars Hans Von Spakovsky and Charles Stimson write. Federal law trumps state laws.

The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 prohibits state colleges and universities from providing in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens “on the basis of residence within the State” unless the same in-state rates are offered to all citizens of the United States.

And it is the Justice Department’s responsibility to enforce this law.

But while the DOJ is going after states like Arizona and Alabama for trying to enforce federal immigration law, the U.S. government refuses to sue these twelve states, including California and Texas, that are brazenly breaking the law.

The President and the Attorney General have an obligation to enforce federal immigration regulations, Von Spakovsky and Stimson argue. In a new report, they highlight how these states are encouraging illegal immigration by forcing taxpayers to bear the costs of educating illegal aliens while unfairly punishing out-of-state students who are citizens with higher tuition rates.
[The Full Report!]

What do you think? Is Texas Gov. Rick Perry right to stand by his state’s policy of offering in-state tuition to illegal immigrants? Should states give tuition discounts for illegal aliens?
