With White House blessings, the Justice Department, wasting millions more tax-dollars, has filed suit against Arizona's common-sense effort to combat illegals, in a state that's a conduit for alien drug and human smugglers, gang members, other criminals, and worse yet, non-Spanish speakers with evil-intent.  A throng of invaders from lands to the south, and beyond, that the Feds have been derelict in stopping, despite long-existing,  little enforced, immigration law. Made worse by not finishing a secure border fence, while the Administration pursues, instead, a childish policy of  kissing-up to regimes, near and far, who like our money, but not our country.  Holding border security hostage to "immigration reform," lib-speak, as you know, for amnesty. Do realize that most illegals have no desire to become Americans, seeking only our benefits, not our responsibilities.      

You should know, as well, that Attorney-General Holder is considering a second suit, claiming racial profiling, while his own department favors racial preferences; that alien smugglers have effectively "occupied" a border-section of Arizona's land, now posted to keep citizens safe; that illegal immigration costs us over $100-billion a year; that our Labor Department is now actually running ads to help illegals file complaints about perceived unfair wages; and that Mexico, still a foreign country, at last check, has also been allowed to file suit against Arizona's decision to enforce the law that D.C. ignores.  All mega-B.S.  Rassmussen polls report that over 60% want Arizona's law in their own state. The Feds either need to finish the fence and enforce the law, or get the heck out of the way, and let the good people of Arizona do what's right for themselves, and for America.

And now the height of lunacy and national insult.  Mexico, still a foreign nation last we checked, has also filed suit against the Arizona law, claiming it's unconstitutional, even though it mirrors existing U.S. law, this coming from a nation that stomps on illegals, yet fully supports shipping millions of its own north.  As a result, Arizona, and other border states remain under siege.  The current administration either needs to enforce existing federal law, or better yet, have Congress pass a tougher one, and seal that border, despite Secretary Napolitano's foolish claim that it can't be done, or get the heck out of the way.
