Arizona - Effective Legislation In Action

The mainstream media is full of hand-wringing stories today with one true unifying headline:

Illegal Aliens Flee Arizona Ahead of Immigration Law Enforcement

Apparently the yardsale bargain hunters were having a field day in Arizona last weekend as the illegals sold off their goods ahead of their moves to sanctuary cities. You will not see a quote from one of them saying they are going back to Mexico. They do say "We have no alternative. They [Arizona] have us cornered."

Of course when Americans are cornered where they lawfully reside, they stand and fight. See: the Alamo.

The MSM also likes to point out that legal residents are leaving Arizona, too. That's because they are harboring illegals, which is a crime, too. Again, mission accomplished. Not only is Arizona ridding itself of illegal aliens, it is ridding itself of those that harbor and support the illegals.

In short, the Arizona illegal immigrant law may be the most effective piece of legislation passed by anyone, anywhere.

Obama: Sending Troops to the Border?

I had been wondering what Obama would do to preempt Arizona Governor Jan Brewer's effective use of the Arizona National Guard to enforce the border between Arizona and Mexico. We now have the answer.

Obama plans to nationalize the Arizona National Guard and put them in an unarmed, away from the border, purely ineffective support role "supporting" U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This after John Morton, Assistant Secretary of State for Homeland Security for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the Arizona law enforcing the federal laws is "not good government."

It was clear that the Obama regime was going to fight Arizona all the way on this. Obama just did what he could by removing the Arizona National Guard from Brewer's control, while spinning it like he is doing something to support border enforcement. Brewer would be wise to tell Obama, Reid, and Pelosi "thanks, but no thanks."

UPDATE: 24 hours later, my beliefs are confirmed. The State Department announced the US National Guard troops being sent to the Mexican border will NOT be used to stem the flow of illegal aliens across the frontier and will not enforce US immigration laws.

State Department spokesman Philip Crowley told reporters, "It's not about immigration."

Your move, Arizona.
