Tired of the federal government’s complete lack of enforcing our immigration laws, like Arizona, Alabama is cracking down on the illegal aliens and enforcing federal law since the federal government refuses to do so.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala (Reuters) – The Alabama state House of Representative passed an Arizona-style crackdown on illegal immigration on Tuesday, despite opposition from Democrats and civil rights groups.
The measure, which passed by 73 votes to 28 on Tuesday evening, would give state and local police broad powers to check the immigration status of people detained on other charges.
It also would require businesses in the state to run checks on new employees through a federal computer database, dubbed an “E-verify,” and use a state verification program to deny public services to illegal aliens.
The bill will now go to the Alabama Senate for a vote.
Why would the Democrats object to the state enforcing existing laws? To buy votes, probably. You have to wonder why that party has such an aversion to upholding our laws, it doesn’t make sense. Don’t you think the rule of law and the country should be the focus? I don’t understand why Democrats (in general) refuse to put the country first. This should be an American issue that we all agree on.
“This is 100 percent the responsibility of the federal government and states cannot usurp that power,” said Shay Farley, legal director of the nonprofit Alabama Appleseed organization.
She’s a legal director of an organization? You’d think she’d know better than to be spewing a false statement like she just did. Ummm… Shay? You might just want to bone up on your constitution a wee bit. Particularly about a little item called the Supremacy Clause. Ever heard of it?
Now, for making a false statement like she did, and passing it off as a fact, you know, using propaganda, well, that always raises a red flag for me. She fits the profile of a radical left-winger, so I did a little check on her. What can I say? Right again! In her own words via her Twitter profile:
Bio: progressive thinker.
Progressive being the keyword. Like I said, a left-wing radical. Her tweets and tweets from people she follows? Completely un-American, progressive nonsense. The ideology is like something from the Soviet Union, it’s unbelievable. Clearly she and her followers have no understanding and/or regard for the constitution.
She seems to me to be one of those people that wrongly believe the constitution is a living, breathing document that they can interpret to mean anything they want it to mean. I liken her type of thinking to the rules of the road.
You come across a yield sign and we all know that means you have to yield the right of way to other traffic. But people like her think that yield sign means the other traffic must yield to them. You seriously wonder how those people function in the world without adult supervision.
