Judge Halts SC Immigration Law

In recent months, federal judges around the country have ruled on various provisions of state anti-immigration laws in Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Indiana and Utah. Adding its name to that list is South Carolina, where the state legislature passed A69/S20 in June and a federal district judge issued a ruling last week blocking many of the provisions from going into effect. The law requires law enforcement to call federal immigration officials if they suspect a person of being in the country illegally, in addition to other provisions including criminalizing renting a room to an undocumented immigrant or even driving them somewhere in your car. Opponents of this legislation (and similar bills that have been considered in other states) believe that many of the provisions would lead to racial profiling.
The U.S. Justice Department filed a lawsuit to prevent the South Carolina law from taking effect on January 1, 2012. In the lawsuit, the Justice Department states that South Carolina’s law undermines the authority of the federal government and asserts that only the federal government can author and enforce immigration policy. Governor Nikki Haley continues to argue that her state needed to create the immigration law because the federal government has failed in its obligation to curb the flow of undocumented immigrants into the country.
Last week, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel temporarily blocked provisions of the South Carolina law, including one of the most controversial sections that allows law enforcement officials to ask for documents from anyone they suspect of residing in the U.S. illegally. Judge Gergel did uphold one provision that requires undocumented immigrants to be transferred from state to federal custody.
The Reform Movement shares the growing concern over undocumented immigration but believes that legislation such as South Carolina’s does not properly treat the problem and instead furthers discriminatory treatment of immigrants. We applaud Judge Gregel for temporarily enjoining much of this distressing law and look forward to the Supreme Court hearing arguments on Arizona’s S.B. 1070, which was the basis for much of South Carolina’s law and those in other states.

All the Republicans who are speaking out on the core issues have approached the alarming problem of illegal immigration in different ways. Former House speaker Newt Gingrich has already presented himself as a passive politician and caused public uproar. We already have government policies with court enacted laws forcing the 50 states to extend public assistance programs, opening them up to 20 million plus illegal alien populace within our country. These persons have slipped past border agents or jetted here from other nation and then we are forced to support them? Gingrich, as a potential President paralyzed a large proportion of his audiences prior to the Iowa caucus, stating he would even entertain some path to legitimacy, but devoid of citizenship. This is certainly not agreeable with the millions in the TEA PARTY member, as this would just pilot to an even larger avalanche of poor people from other countries. Mitt Romney and Michelle Bachmann jumped, almost instantly on Gingrich plan as “amnesty” which it most certainly is, as it just adds up to pardoning people who criminally stole in this country, without permission.
That is what immigration laws are for and must be observed. Anybody who thinks that a poorly secured border is not going to lure, as a temptation in running the enforcement gauntlet needs to see a shrink? Each year “The Pew Research Center” estimates 500.000 untracked people arrive here either by plane or slip past the open areas, not covered by the border fence. How can anybody say that theses impoverished people are not going to take advantage of Gingrich formula? After Reagan’s 1986 amnesty the numbers climbed dramatically, because of rampant fraud and a disinterested administrations that should have prosecute business who hired foreigners. George Bush passed the 2006 Secure Fence Act, but as of today, the money was never appropriated. Consider these facts; If Congress was unwavering in halting illegal immigration, they would have passed laws to make it a—FELONY. Additionally if Congress had the desire to eventually close the border tight, the 2006 secure fence would have already been completed, as two fences parallel to each other and decked with concertina razor wire? Those two enforcement laws, would also kept the criminals out and allowed the US border Patrol to rove in between the fences rapidly, to apprehend foreign nationals? New tea Party leaders will ensure no amnesties, no Sanctuary cities or Dream Acts. Governors, Judges, chief of police or lower official will be prosecuted for any misconduct of the 1986 IRCA laws, together with loss of federal funding.
The current questionable push by the Liberal press is illegal aliens do pay taxes. Yes many do, but they are using either a stolen Social Security numbers, or an IRS number known as an ITIN number. A substantial motivation is they have no choice, if they want to get on a payroll job? Then according to the ‘Heritage Foundation’ the amount of $113 Billion dollars goes to subsidize illegal aliens from taxpayers and every year that amount is rising. As released by the IRS, illegal immigrants are returned 4.5 Billion in child/parent tax credits. Little known is that foreign invaders send out of the country annually to foreign banks, between 40-46 billion dollars. Yes! They do pay taxes, but it hardly reduces the money extorted from federal and state taxpayers for children of illegal aliens. Money going to educate, the massive health care deficit and an overpopulated prison system filled with drug dealers, murderers, rapists, pedophiles and a growing percentage of hit and run drunken drivers; those that are caught.
We have a new sordid problem that is rising from the gutter. That Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption has revealed its 2011 list of Washington’s “Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians.” The members of the Obama Administration on the list, in alphabetical order, include: Attorney General Eric Holder; read about Eric Holder’s connection with ACORN, The voter fraud organization and the Gun running scandal—’Fast and furious.” President Barack Obama questionable association with ACORN, AHCOA (Affordable Housing Centers of America), the renamed ACORN Housing organization which has a long history of corrupt activity and other illicit association, costing billions of taxpayer dollars. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano: While Attorney General Eric Holder was busy suing states fighting to shelter themselves from uncontrolled illegal immigration in 2011, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has overseen a campaign to bypass Congress and provide amnesty to millions of illegal alien invaders, all in an evident attempt to acquire more votes for Obama’s reelection. Make the time to read the facts of governmental corruption by typing in Google—JUDICIAL WATCH. Just remember this information will be concealed by the Democrats, as they have proved over and over again, that they are not disinclined to manipulating voter registrations—even to letting non-citizens vote.
E-Verify “the Legal Workforce Act” at the very least, it is a step in the right direction to obstruct illegal labor from taking American jobs. Even if E-Verify has some flaws and some illegal aliens can obtain employment, but it won’t last very long before new upgraded version of E-Verify will be able to detect criminal alien workers. ICE has already gained the implementation of Mississippi’s Drivers Licensing Bureau, so as citizens WE SHOULD DEMAND THAT EVERY STATE VEHICLE DEPARTMENT GIVE ICE THE DIRECTIVE TO ACCESS THEIR PHOTO ID DATABASES, TO CROSS REFERENCE WITH ALL HIRED WORKERS BEING CONFIRMED USING E-VERIFY. Those hired illegally will be caught eventually when the irregularities are corrected and ICE auditors return to a previous company.
It’s better to have something as a deterrent, than to have nothing at all. What requires further action is a bill sponsored by Steve King’s (R-IA) Birthright Citizenship Act of 2011 (H.R.140) would amend the law so the unborn babies of illegal aliens smuggled calculatedly through borders or by international flight are ineligible for citizenship. The cost to hospitals and an array of welfare payments and entitlements is the most costly for US taxpayers totaling billions of more dollars. This is another demand, you should make of the politicians who represent your state. This is the time before the outcome of the 2012 election to pass the above mentioned laws, as it is critical to the wellbeing of every American worker. You can adjoin the TEA PARTY and demand from both Senators and House Representatives the passage of these laws, by calling the Washington phone center at 202-224-3121
In conclusion the Tea Party doesn’t discriminate against any nationality or race, as this is an offensive plan by the Democrats to demoralize the alternative party who are strictly against illegal immigration—LEGAL IMMIGRATION. The TEA PARTY openly welcomes those who patiently legally wait their turn, in becoming part of the opportunity that is America. Those who coveted their freedom better be aware that under the Obama regime, the dark shadows within his administration have slowly destabilized the foundation of the US Constitution and its purpose.
