Pro-Legal Immigration Hispanics Support AZ SB 1070 Law, Make Voices Heard

Hispanic proponents of AZ SB 1070 law, Legal Immigration, make voices heard (http://www.examiner.com/x-58263-Casper-Public-Policy-Examiner~y2010m7d22-Hispanic-proponents-of-AZ-SB-1070-law-Legal-Immigration-make-voices-heard)

Casper, Wyoming citizens are not anti-immigration, nor are most Americans. Residents of Casper and the rest of Wyoming are like other Americans: all want the best for LEGAL Immigrants.

The history of LEGAL immigration to America is what the USA is built on; it’s why America has become the greatest, most affluent nation in the world. America offers the most personal freedoms of any nation on the Earth.

The Founders of the Constitution saw it in their daily lives and understood that the Rule of Law as the ONLY secure foundation upon which this great nation could be built: were it to last the tests of time.

According to a Politico (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0710/40123.html) article members of the Arizona Latino Republican Association (http://www.latinogop.org/about/bios.php) (ALRA) understand this foundational underpinning of America very well and thus, have filed an intervention suit against AG Eric Holder (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/06/AR2010070601928.html) and the US Justice Department (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/06/AR2010070601928.html).

Personal experience has taught the members of ALRA that there IS an existing path to American citizenship, which does not violate the laws of the USA, does not steal jobs from Americans, and does not unnecessarily burden public services.

The Politico (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0710/40123.html) article stated that the chairman of ALRA is the son of LEGAL immigrants who supports the Rule of Law and LEGAL immigration:

“I’m challenging the Obama administration first and foremost,” he said. “As a state, when the government fails to do their job, the state has the right to protect its boundaries and its citizens…When they became natural citizens, you could not believe the joy and happiness,” he said. “They had to work for it; it was an ambition. It’s like getting a college degree.”

Hernandez, as an American doesn’t see the Arizona law SB 1070 as having anything to do with race, skin color, or racial profiling: he sees it in terms of the Rule of Law and following the law of the land.

Sadly, the chairman of ALRA is fighting a losing tide, as most Hispanics do see it in racial terms, not bothering to either understand or want to understand the issue as it stands.

The outcome of the lawsuits against Arizona is yet to be seen. Should Arizona lose, Americans will be facing the tide of Illegal Alien invasion alone, the Obama Administration having become their enemy.

First Hispanic Group Set to Join AZ Against DOJ Lawsuit (http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/immigration/4096-first-hispanic-group-set-to-join-az-against-doj-lawsuit)

Tomorrow morning the Arizona Latino Republican Association (http://www.latinogop.org/) will announce its intention to become the first Hispanic organization in the country to declare its support for the new Arizona immigration law, S.B. 1070 (http://www.azleg.gov/legtext/49leg/2r/bills/sb1070s.pdf), set to go into effect on July 29, by “filing a motion to intervene against the Justice Department's lawsuit challenging Arizona's immigration policy.”

The motion regarding the DOJ lawsuit is currently being developed, but should be ready in time for a court hearing on the 22nd. At the press conference for tomorrow’s announcement, the ALRA will be joined by Freedom Watch (http://www.freedomwatchusa.org/) and members of the Phoenix Law Enforcement Association.

Currently, the Department of Justice lawsuit names the state of Arizona and Governor Jan Brewer as defendants. According to Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch, the ALRA will be “in effect, a defendant" in the government’s suit.

According to a Newsmax (http://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/Hispanic--Group--Immigration--lawsuit/2010/07/21/id/365253) article:



The Justice Department claims the federal government has "preeminent authority" on immigration enforcement and that the Arizona law violates that authority.

In court documents filed Tuesday, lawyers for Brewer wrote, "Arizona merely seeks to assist with the enforcement of existing federal immigration laws in a constitutional manner. It is (the Obama administration) that is attempting to impose immigration policies and priorities that contravene and conflict with federal law and unambiguous congressional intent."


As FoxNews (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/07/20/hispanic-gop-group-announce-support-arizona-immigration-law/) explains it:



Arizona's law, which was passed in April, requires police officers conducting traffic stops or questioning suspects about legal violations to ask about immigration status if "reasonable suspicion" exists that the individuals is in the country illegally. Critics have said the law will lead to racial profiling.


Meanwhile another group, Judicial Watch (http://www.judicialwatch.org/weeklyupdate/2010/28-judicial-watch-joins-az-legal-battle#anchor1), announced on July 16 that it was filing a “Motion to Intervene” (http://www.judicialwatch.org/files/documents/2010/us-v-arizona-mot4intervention-07152010.pdf) on behalf of the State Senator who authored S.B. 1070, Russell Pearce. The announcement said, in part, “As the author and driving force behind the enactment of SB 1070, Senator Pearce has the right to defend it.”

Said Senator Pearce:



The purpose of SB 1070 is to protect the citizens of Arizona from the devastating and deadly impact of rampant illegal immigration. And it is outrageous that the Obama administration would attack Arizona for simply protecting its own citizens, especially when it has failed so miserably to do its constitutional duty and secure the border. This is a legal battle of epic proportions. As a Senator in a state on the frontlines, I see firsthand the damage being done to our state and our country. What happens here in Arizona will impact every state in the country interested in protecting its citizens by enforcing the rule of law. We are a nation of laws. We must have the courage — the fortitude — to enforce, with compassion but without apology, those laws that protect the integrity of our borders and the rights of our lawful citizens.


The only Hispanic to vote in favor of S.B. 1070 was Rep. Steve Montenegro., also the youngest member of the state's legislature. Montenegro, the son of legal immigrants, has regularly made known his support for the new Arizona law. He came to the United States legally himself and was 18 when he became a citizen. Says Montenegro, "When you finally reach that day, you understand that being an American is a responsibility, not just an entitlement."

Also present at the press conference will be ALRA chairman, Jesse Hernandez.

More propaganda eh?

No substance. No recognition the founders did address the problem of immigration by delegating a Rule of Naturalization. Since there were people loyal to the King living in the colonies after the revolutionary war the founders were very familiar with allegiance. People complained the Articles of Confederation were problematic with each state regulating citizenship.

What the founders did not do was delegate a power to Congress to regulate tourists and visitors. Nor did We The People create law to chain the federal government so Congress can redefine the very words in We The People's law. Congress has no authority to define the term immigration (Meridian Webster: to come into a country of which one is not a native for permanent residence) to mean visitor and guest.

Nor does Congress have any authority to redefine the term Rule (Bouvier's: The rule is a means of comparison in the arts to judge whether the line be straight, as it serves in jurisprudence, to judge whether an action be just or unjust, it is just or right, when it agrees with the rule) to mean Law (When law is applied to objects, it is civil, criminal, or penal.) This is a major distinction because with regards to Naturalization there is no civil, criminal, or penal. You are either a citizen or you are not.

Most Latinos understand that the issues involved in enforcing federal laws against illegal immigration is related to legal or criminal behavior, not to national origin. by Bruce Walker


Many Latinos Favor Enforcing the Law (http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/crime/3456-many-latinos-favor-enforcing-the-law)

The controversy surrounding efforts by the State of Arizona to enforce federal laws against illegal immigration is usually presented as a conflict between those Americans who like Latinos in America and those Americans who are afraid of Latinos in America. A CNN news stories reveals, however, that a significant number of Latino-Americans who are in the nation legally or who are citizens of the United States strongly support cracking down on illegal immigration.

These Latinos understand that the issues involved related to legal or criminal behavior, not to national origin. The idea that Latinos would reflexively oppose laws which keep illegal immigrants out of America is as offensive as the notion that Americans of Japanese origin would resent enforcing laws that kept illegal immigrants from Japan out of the country or that Italian-Americans would not want laws against illegal immigration enforced against people from Italy.

When people move into America it is often to escape from the problems of the “old country.” That has historically meant adopting the ideals, the politics, and the laws of America in preference to what they left behind. Chinese immigrants in the 19th Century hardly wanted America turned into the impoverished, oppressive country of Imperial China. Chinese, Jews, Irish, Italians, and many other ethnic groups came to America because of a love of an America built around ordered liberty and that meant also built around a stable legal system. One of the joys of America is that immigrants have retained ethnic values and culture, while accepting the laws of this country. So, New York and Chicago are a smorgasbord of German, Chinese, Puerto Rican, Jewish, and Italian cuisines, all the while remaining one hundred percent American.

More importantly, all Americans, whether legal immigrants or citizens, have a powerful interest in compliance with our criminal laws, traffic laws, tax laws and so forth. During the worst years of Mafia violence in the 1920s and 1930s, the tool of deportation was used against legal immigrants to send criminals suspects (whose conviction might have been hard to prove) back to Italy. This did not send the Italian community here into a fit of rage. Why? The principal victims of mob violence and extortion were Italian immigrants and citizens, trying to earn a decent living in small shops and businesses in metropolitan areas.

Those who were “selling out” their own people in that context were not the small grocer or shoe repair shop owner, but instead the criminals who terrorized them and — even worse, in many ways — who ruined the hard-won reputation of these law-abiding Italians as good neighbors and hard workers. Latinos in America, either legal immigrants or American citizens, are much more likely to have their apartment burglarized, or car stolen, or family hurt by illegal immigrants than the average American. And some of these Latinos are not afraid to speak out openly in favoring of enforcing the laws of their adopted land.

What color their skin is has nothing to do with whether they are right about this issue.

It simply comes down to private property. Do you believe in private property rights or do you think the government should own part of you and your property?

I thought you stated we lived in a Republic not a Democracy. Are you now retracting that view and holding Democracy is better?

You Fail.
I support Constitutional Republics as a form of Government, Yes.

1.) Arizona views Mass Illegal Immigration as an Invasion and the Constitution says the US needs to protect the States from Invasion.

2.) Immigration Laws are under the 10th Amendment / State Sovereignty.

3.) Arizona State REPS Passed the Law. Thankfully 70% of Arizona voters support the Law as well.

As we saw from BuddyRey's post recently, the people who come here legally have to jump through a lot of hoops and pay a lot of money to the state. That reminds me of statism.

The illegals, on the other hand, freely travel and are freely employed, this is a very free market oriented lifestyle.

So, we're going to agree with the people who lead the statist lifestyle on this one :confused:

Massive Tourism and Visits are an invasion?

Arizona can decide who can be a United States citizen?

With 70% it must be right?
