Illegal Immigration
It’s May 1st, and Arizona just passed a law requiring state law enforcement to start doing the job that the Federal Government has been refusing to do. Illegals all over the country at up in arms about it. It’s a joke that citizens of the U.S. are nothing but indifferent about it.
First, Arizona is a sovereign state, and as such, it is their prerogative to enforce the law. The US republic delineates the responsibilities shared by all states and executed by the Federal Government. When the Federal Government fails to fulfill it’s responsibilities, it is the State’s prerogative to enforce the law. The State of Arizona (and any state for that matter) has full right to make sure that people within their sovereign territory are indeed allowed to be there.
Second, how could people even conceive granting full citizenship rights to someone that could not respect the basic laws of this country and enter only after being granted permission to enter? If you want to enjoy all of what this country has to offer, get in line, follow the process, obey the law, and plan on being a productive member of society.
