The rage over Arizona’s new law on “illegal” immigration continues. A couple of weeks ago the city of Los Angeles, California passed a resolution boycotting Arizona in a move that could wipe out millions of dollars in contracts for Arizona. In reply to this attempted power play by Los Angeles, Arizona has threatened to turn off the power they provide to Los Angeles if they follow through with their attempted boycott.
We heard Mexican President Felipe Calderon and United States President Barack Obama talk about Arizona’s immigration law. Calderon stated he remains, “respectful of the internal policies of the United States,” however, he rejects criminalizing “migration” as he put it, so that “people who work and provide things for this nation (America) will be treated as criminals.”
I just love folks' spin on this issue. The issue is NOT immigration or “migration.” The issue is “illegal” immigration. No, not “undocumented workers.” Call it what it is! Stop being “Politically Correct!”
What no one wants to talk about is Mexico’s own immigration law! Mexico’s law gives officials the right to check the immigration papers of anyone! If the person in question is found to be in the country illegally they can be fined and deported. In addition, the law requires foreigners to register with the government. On the other hand, Arizona’s law strictly states the immigration status of an individual may only be checked during a valid stop for some other reason. “A lawful stop, detention or arrest must be in the enforcement of any other law or ordinance of a county, city or town or this state,” the law states.
While Michelle Obama was visiting a Maryland school last week one of the children made the statement that her mother was in the country illegally. The story gained national attention. Matt Chandler, spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security, said they will not be pursuing this issue as "solid law enforcement work and not classroom Q and As" are required in order for the DHS to act. Amazing! I mean had this been a kid saying his father was talking about killing a government official, you better believe there would have been agents wearing black breaking down his doors!
Why do our government officials turn a blind eye to illegal immigration and other out of control issues which continue to destroy this once great nation? It is just another example, in my opinion, of the cursings we are under as Deuteronomy chapter 28 states.
Lastly, we have CNN perpetuating the rage against Arizona with their interview of Pop singer Shakira! You have to watch this 36 second video! She states, “I’m not an expert on Constitution, but I know the Constitution exists to protect the rights of every human being living in a country with or without papers.”
It’s seriously laughable but terribly sad at the same time! Why is she on TV? Why is she being portrayed as someone to look to for answers? This is an absolute joke!

Thanks for the video of Shakira, nice touch brainwashing those hooked on entertainment to the point where they would prop her up as a talking head on this issue. You're so right, that is terribly sad.
