ARIZONA BORDER PROBLEM

Lot of words are being said about the new Arizona law dealing with illegal immigration. I say, it's about time somebody took action. From what I have read about the law, and the law itself, it is obvious that Arizona took a desperate last resort action where they took the federal immigration law and made it their own. Why? The answer offers itself: The federal government could care less about the security of our borders and are derelict in their constitutional duty to protect the citizens of the United States of America.

The federal government decided to file a suit against Arizona to stop the enforcement of the new law. Very bad move for Obama. What I hear the feds say is that our borders should remain porous so millions more Mexicans can come over and claim California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas as their own. This is fine with me as long as the citizens of these states agree and as long as Mexico allows us to send millions of Americans to Mexico. It is my hope that the suit will lay bare the fact that the federal government is in contempt of the citizens of the United States and that the public will finally learn to what degree is our government guilty of abandoning their constitutional duties.

The claim that the border cannot be secured because it is so long and running through desert is a bogus claim and the biggest BS I ever heard. Look at the border between old Soviet Union and China. It was one of the best guarded border in the world to prevent Chinese expansionist policies and I say if the Soviets could do it so can we.
