Cut federal funding for sanctuary cities/states

Cross posted from   Right Truth

Here’s the facts from Blogs for Bush and BlogoWogo:

That is what a recent Rasmussen Survey indicates:

Fifty-eight percent (58%) of voters nationwide favor cutting off federal funds for “sanctuary cities” that offer protection to illegal immigrants. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that just 29% are opposed. Republican Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney proposed such a plan earlier this week. By a 71% to 16% margin, voters also favor a proposal that would require all foreign visitors to carry a universal identification card as proposed by another GOP Presidential hopeful, Rudy Giuliani. Seventy-four percent (74%) also favor the creation and funding of a central database to track all foreign visitors in the United States.

By a 56% to 31% margin, voters want the government to continue building a fence along the Mexican border.

This is the Republican’s winning issue, if they want it

From Islamanazi

“The U.S. Constitution does not have a provision for immigration sanctuary, and there is no legal precedent for it in the history of the United States of America.When U.S. cities and even entire states declare themselves to be “sanctuaries” for illegal aliens, they act outside the law, and by their actions could be charged with a felony for each violation of federal law by “concealing, harboring, or sheltering illegal aliens” (8 U.S. Code, sections 1324 and 1325; Immigration and Naturalization Act sections 274 and 275).

Illegal entry into the United States — entry without inspection — is a misdemeanor, INA section 275, (8 USC Section 1324). Repeated illegal entry is a felony. (read more)

Mitt Romney on Friday criticized cities that fail to crackdown on illegal immigrants:

“(Homeland Security) Secretary (Michael) Chertoff is going to say ‘You know what we’re going to do? We’re going to enforce the current law.’ Isn’t that novel? We’re going to enforce the current law. Isn’t that good news?” Romney said.

Elvira Arellano has finally been deported, one step toward enforcing laws already on the books:

Big Dog’s Weblog

Elvira Arellano had her kid here so he is a citizen under the misinterpreted 14th Amendment. The activist groups are all over this story and they are all indicating that this woman should not have been arrested for breaking the law and that it was not right for the government to separate her from her kid.The government did not separate them, she could have taken her kid with her but she is a poor example for motherhood and abandoned her kid.

Common Sense America makes this excellent observation:

If you think this is the end of the story – think again. What kind of mother would leave her child behind in a country that just deported her? Only one that plans on being back with him shortly.

Others:

Kim & Her Friends Explain It All

Activists in the Chicago area who have followed Arellano’s story weren’t surprised that the law caught up to her.

YAAAYYYYY!!! It’s About TIME!

Border Pundit, “Border violence fueled by drug war in Mexico“

So much death and destruction and sorrow. And still they keep coming, killing our kids and our cops and each other. Build the wall. Build it high and build it now. Start throwing employers in prison for hiring illegals. And make sure illegals cannot receive a single penny’s worth of public benefits. They need to go home and stay home…in their own country!

Illinois View and USAToday:

Sen. John McCain said Sunday that his support for immigration changes hurt his presidential candidacy because people were not convinced that it would secure the border.

Well well. I guess the message is finally getting through.

Crime from Mexico Flows Over Open Borders

Cross posted from    The Virtuous Republic

Throughout history, empires have built walls to keep foreign influences out. Whether it is Hadrian’s Wall or the Great Wall of China, we know historically that manned fortifications like these can help defend the homeland for years. Walls are not the end all of border protection, but in the case of the United States, where the problem is illegal immigration, a secured border can help our nation determine who and what enters our country.

With that in mind, Azcentral.com has a chilling article on the consequences of not monitoring our southern border. Drugs and the violence associated with it are spilling over our southern border. Yet, the Secretary of Homeland Security, from his recent comments, is less than enthusiastic about border control. The question boils down to sovereignty. Are we a nation that controls not only the heartland, but our frontiers? Right now, it seems we project our sovereignty better in Baghdad than along our own southwestern border.

The border crime issue became so urgent in Arizona that top officials met in Tucson in June with their counterparts from Sonora, Mexico. Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano agreed to help train Sonoran police to track wire payments to smugglers. Sonoran Gov. Eduardo Boors agreed to improve police communications with U.S. authorities.

In the first nine months of this year, Tucson officials surpassed their record from last year of 4,559 human smuggling arrests.

In tiny Douglas, Ariz., so far this year, the Mexican consulate has identified the bodies of five Mexican nationals who died under suspicious circumstances while crossing into the U.S., and he is awaiting identification of five more he presumes were Mexicans as well. There were only seven such deaths in all of last year.

Statewide the picture is equally bleak. Murders of illegal crossers is up 21 percent over last year.

Another visible effect of the cross-border crime wave is the flood of drugs into the country.

Anthony J. Coulson, assistant special agent in charge of the DEA in Arizona, said records indicate that cocaine and heroin seizures might end up twice as high as last year. Marijuana seizures are increasing 25 percent; nine months into the current fiscal year, he said, they had seized more pot than all of last year, “and 2006 was a record year, ” Coulson said.

In the Tucson sector alone there has been a 71 percent increase in marijuana seizures over the last year, with the U.S. Border Patrol reporting 648,000 pounds grabbed since October.

In tony Scottsdale, a Phoenix suburb, said Sheriff Arpaio, a cartel operative was openly selling heroin to high school kids. “He was getting 150 calls a day on his cell phone,” the sheriff said.

The DEA believes 80 percent of the methamphetamine in the United States is coming from labs in Mexico, which were set up after police raids shut down many of the labs in the U.S.

In Dallas, police are dealing with the deaths of 21 high school students in the last two years from “cheese heroin,” a mixture of Mexican heroin and over-the-counter cold medicine. The hits sell for $2 to $5. Several arrests of dealers have been made; now officials are bracing for the coming school season. Read the entire article….
