The Sacramento city council ignored rule of law on Tuesday and voted to enact economic sanctions against the state of Arizona. According to The Sacramento Bee, this means the city would forbid "city workers from attending conferences in Arizona on the city's dime, boycotting companies based in Arizona 'where practicable and where there is no significant additional cost to the city' and potentially canceling current contracts with firms from Arizona."
Why would they do such a thing. Well it seems that Arizona got tired of the federal government not doing its job of securing the border to Mexico and decided to take the matter into their hands by having the local police enforce the immigration laws. Mayor Kevin Johnson is leading the council in this new "civil rights" movement in which The Bee quotes Councilman Robert Fong as saying the city is "standing on the right side of history."
How about standing on the right side of the law? Isn't that more important? Only Councilman Robbie Waters had the intelligence to vote against such nonsense and wondered how many city staff hours had been wasted in this witch hunt by looking at Sacramento's contracts with Arizona.
Opponents of Arizona's immigration law are trying to make this into a civil rights issue but this is nothing like the discrimination blacks faced in fighting for equality. Anybody who enters the United States of America illegally is a criminal. Plain and simple. It is not a civil rights issue but of law and order. I am sick and tired of the political whores who denounce the immigration law and call for economic sanctions of anything related to Arizona. Liberalism is truly a mental disorder.
Officers from the Maricopa county Sheriff's department recently released a video onto the internet that was revealing. Although it has been pulled from some of the sites on which it was viewable, it is a poignant reminder from those on the "front lines" that this is an invasion going on and not something that can be explained away as just another example of how Americans need to go attend a diversity training class. The politicizing of the immigration travesty that has been and continues to be perpetrated on the American citizenry is outrageous, and one of the more insidious of the thrusts of the current administration which are coming together in a multi-frontal assault against the constitutional foundation of our country's law system and against the core values of our people. Our open borders have subjected our citizenry to massive tax burdens and ever increasing criminal activity as politicians have winked and nodded at one another.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping that ALL incumbent politicians will be ousted in favor of elected officials who have the will restore responsible representative government. We must find ways of reining in the abuses of power which are resulting in the wholesale dismantling of our rights and freedoms by this current administration while we still have the legal processes to do so.
