WHO HAS TO OBEY THE LAW?

So, let me see if I have this straight.

Even though EVERY (that's right: EVERY...do you get that? EVERY) element of Arizona's "new" immigration law has ALREADY (did you get that? ALREADY) been tested in the courts and found to be Constitutional, and even though well over 60% of U.S. citizens approve of the legislation, Hispanics STILL think they should be able to be in this country ILLEGALLY, just because they want to be.

There's a really good series of articles about this over at Blue Pitbull. I highly recommend them to you.

OK, you liberals, do you believe that EVERY person on earth should be afforded EVERY privilege that EVERY American citizen enjoys?

If that is so, why don't they ALL do what we did: revolt against their government and recognize those rights in their own countries?

"Well, Joe, old buddy, old pal, because many of them would be killed in the process. Even a dummy like you could figure that out."

Is that so?

Have you ever heard of the Revolutionary War?

I have never spoken to a single conservative who does not believe that we should welcome immigrants with open arms, afford them a path to citizenship if they want it, and honor their desire to have opportunities they cannot get elsewhere.

But if Hispanics can achieve ILLEGALLY, what others must achieve LEGALLY, where is the "fairness" in that?

I know, love, appreciate and respect dozens of Hispanics in our Southwest Florida communities. Every one of them has properly "gone though the process," many having become American citizens.

They are wonderful, earnest, freedom loving people who respect the opportunity afforded them by the United States.

Not one of those protesting the "plight" of ILLEGAL aliens in Arizona, or anyplace else, for that matter, has ANY business aiding and abetting those who deliberately entered this country ILLEGALLY.

In fact, they should hang their heads in utter SHAME!

Furthermore, they should be at the head of the deportation line...ALL of them.

"But Joe, think of the boon to the economy these people afford us."

Boon my hind leg!

They, in fact, present us with a net DRAIN on our economy as we are forced to feed them, clothe them, heal them, incarcerate and educate them, without an proportional benefit to society (only to a relatively few farmers and the like.

What...you think a person "earning" below minimum wage on some vegetable farm or someone earning a poverty wage in some other work environment is somehow an economic boost to the economy?

If you think that, I encourage you to go back to 4th grade and learn math all over again.

But this is much more than "just" an economic issue.

It is a matter of the integrity of our nation.

How many times have I heard liberals object about one topic or another, "We are a nation of laws!?"

Yeah, as long as they are laws they like.

Hopefully, Arizona is the first of MANY states (including my own state of Florida) that will wake up and do what SHOULD be done with respect to ILLEGAL immigrants...send them back where they came from.

"Racial profiling," I hear you scream.

Well, then so be it.

It is not fair skinned Norwegians ILLEGALLY crossing the border from Mexico into the U.S. It is members of the Hispanic community.

If it WERE fair skinned Norwegians crossing the Atlantic to ILLEGALLY enter this country, I would say the same thing: round them up and send them back.

There is a process...work it!

Don't like the process?

Work to change it.

In the mean time, OBEY THE LAW!

How come I have to obey the law and they don't? Hmmmm?

Come on, Americans! Wake up!
