With the Arizona Immigration law being challenged in court by the Obama Administration, less than a month before it is supposed to go into effect, the supporters of this discriminatory law are hard at work promoting fear and hysteria through the use of lies and fabrications about the effects of illegal immigration on the state!
The leading proponent of deception is the disgraceful Governor Jan Brewer, who sees it as a method to win reelection this fall, and could not see the truth if it stared her in the face! 🙁
Investigation of numerous accusations about illegal immigrants shows the following realities:
1. Bodies have been beheaded and left in the deserts of the state–NOT TRUE!
2. Border violence is on the rise–NOT TRUE!
3. Phoenix has become the Number Two Kidnapping location in the world–NOT TRUE!
4. Illegal immigrants are responsible for the deaths of most law enforcement officers–NOT TRUE!
5. Most illegal immigrants crossing the border are involved in drug dealing–NOT TRUE!
The Arizona Republic newspaper and the FBI statistics show all of the above are fabrications, and that crime has not increased, and in many areas has declined in recent years!
But Jan Brewer and Senator John McCain are utilizing these lies to promote fear among Arizona citizens to win reelection, without any concern for the truth!
Both should be ashamed of their fear mongering, which is now also leading to a new movement–to deny birthright citizenship to children born in this country of illegal immigrants, a move which would be unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution! 🙁
But then, does the Constitution really matter, if one does not agree with it? It is amazing how people manipulate the Constitution for their own benefit and claim to be respectful of that sacred document, but only when it benefits their prejudices! 🙁
I see your ignorance is every bit as alive as the rest of the others who have not read the law!
I live here in Arizona and work the border and desert of this state and I am here to tell you that you are so far off base with your political ass kissing it is not funny…Bring your dumbass down here and see for yourself.Who the hell do you think you are??…Do you even pay taxes?…doubt it…EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR NOT TRUE STATEMENTS IS FALSE…I HAVE SEEN WHAT THE DRUG CARTELS DO TO PEOPLE…I SEE THE WHAT THE 3 DIGIT HEAT DOES TO THOSE PEOPLE…I HAVE SEEN AND CONFISCATED THE DRUGS…YOU REALLY NEED TO LEARN YOUR FACTS RIGHT ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE NEVER STEP FOOT IN THE DESERT HERE AND BOTHERED TO RESEARCH…YOU’RE A TYPICAL DUMBASS WHO HAS NO CLUE!!!!
You are not even close to being educated….Typical of your unbalanced thinking!!!
HAVE YOU BEEN THERE? WE KNOW THE TRUTH AND YOU ARE AN IDIOT WHO HIDES BEHIND OBAMA AND HIS CRONIES TO KEEP YOUR JOB. WHY NOT GET HIM AND GO TO THE BORDER TO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN PERSON? AFRAID OF BEING KILLED BY YOUR FRIENDS IN MEXICO?
It is better to remain silent and be thought of as an idiot than to write this garbage on your blog and remove ALL doubt.
I cannot believe you did not do any research before you posted this!! YOU HAVE NO CLUE AS TO THE VIOLENCE THAT IS OCCURRING ON OUR BORDER! Totally true! I live close to the border and I have seen violence along with my way of life changed completely due to the Mexican cartel’s hit men they send to protect the dope crossers. You are so out of line here. Try a unique approach before your next blog, like look at police reports or border patrol reports on a daily basis, or actually take a trip to the AZ border if you don’t get shot just getting there!

These types of articles are only written to promote animosity between political groups. It is already a documented fact that this issue with illegals at our southern border is escalating and continues to harm our country’s safety as well as zap it monetarily. It is a true invasion and it involves violence and illegal activity. Those who seek the truth are welcome to do the research and please, come visit Arizona yourselves and talk to those in the south that are working hard to protect our country. See for yourselves firsthand what is really happening.
Another socialistic journalistic article. I am an American Citizen born and raised, I speak only 1 language the my Country has designated as the main language of the U.S.A. As you keep calling American’s racist for wanting the rule of law followed. Where is your integrity toward Americans. The writer is probably another his-panic racist that follows the La Razza D-bags. Have fun trying to poison America into defying our laws that our four fathers created to protect us.
You need to resign. Someone so amazingly ignorant should not be teaching paint how to dry. I can’t find one thing on this blog post that’s actually true. As a so-called “professor of American History, Government and Politics” you don’t know the first thing about the subject, apparently.
What a stupid article, Thank goodness there are facts to show the idiocy of this muck racking. You are the one who should be ashamed of yourself for your lies against two loyal god fearing American’s who have the ball’s to stand up for their country, instead of trying to destroy it as you and many who are now in office seem to want to do.

Sometimes they loaded up their human cargo with backpacks full of marijuana. In many cases, they smuggled illegal immigrants between the two marijuana-growing seasons, authorities said. I would add one thing, senator, said Arizona Atty. Gen. Terry Goddard, who then described to Durbin his concerns about the cartels’ movement into illegal immigrant smuggling. “It is really a four-part trade, and it has caused crime throughout the United States.
Arizona has become the gateway not only for drugs, but also illegal immigrants. Fights over the valuable commodity have triggered a spate of shootings, kidnappings and killings, Goddard and one of his chief deputies said in interviews.
In Arizona, the cartels grossed an estimated $2 billion last year on smuggling humans, Senior officials from various federal law enforcement agencies confirmed that they were extremely concerned about the cartels’ human smuggling network.

U.S. Border Patrol spokesman Special Agent Joe Romero and other law enforcement officials say the Mexican drug cartels have even merged human smuggling with drug trafficking, forcing immigrants to act as mules in transporting drugs as the price of passage.

As for human smuggling, the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security reports that the typical illegal alien pays between $1,200 and $2,500 to be taken across the border. Not infrequently, illegal’s pay back these fees by selling drugs once they get to America. The drug cartels are also smuggling non-Mexican aliens into the United States, often charging between $45,000 and $60,000 per person to do so. Since 2001, border apprehensions of special interest aliens are up 41 percent. Indeed, FBI Director Robert Mueller has alerted Congress that “there are individuals from countries with known al Qa’ida connections who are changing their Islamic surnames to Hispanic-sounding names and obtaining false Hispanic identities, learning
to speak Spanish and pretending to be Hispanic immigrants.â€
We have been proclaimed the kidnapping capitol of the United States by numerous media sources and when I feel it is of any importance to repute any more of your idiotic statements I will post more here. I feel there are enough posted as answer to counter your statements.
You are full of liberal shit. You have supported none of your claims with any evidence to back it up. A simple 5 minutes spent researching newspaper websites from towns in and around the border of Arizona, Nevada, and California would result in CONCLUSIVE evidence of the violence actually RISING in towns on the border. Mexican drug cartels have been threatening civilians as well as law enforcement agencies, showing up at AMERICAN schools along the border to intimidate the children of illegal immigrants that may be connected to the drug trade, and you have the nerve to think that American politicians are the ones causing fear and panic? I challenge anyone who reads this to consider YOUR motives.
The Constitution says that the President is sworn to protect the integrity of our nation and the people in it. There is a reason that they are called “ILLEGAL” immigrants. Because they are here ILLEGALLY. Legal immigration is fine. Not the illegal kind. Obama is failing to protect our states from this. Explain that.
Hey jerlk yes stupid jerk…We don’t want to hear your opinion of anything…Where are the fact??? Because you don’t know anything you think that you can tell other people to think like you…STUPIDLY…YOUR AN ASSH____
Moderator you need to let some comments through for you have become one of the problems not following the Constitution. 1st Amendment:Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
You make me sick. You are so confused. Go visit the border in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California and then write your progressive trash. Try living amongst these killers and users. They use and abuse their own people. Don’t you care about that or are you in this just for you? These people (the ones actually looking for a better life) are no better than slaves. You definitely make me growl.
Dude, your full of it!!! If you think crime, murder, and others are decreasing,you need to pull your head out of the sand, dirt, or where ever it is and look around, you obviously don’t read, watch any tv because its’ all around us. If we don’t stand up to this now, it will only get worse! Then it will be too late and you will be wanting someone to save your sorry butt! Give up the stupid fight and take a look around. By the way…
if you don’t like whats going on, feel free to move to one of the many countries the are trying to take over the USA. Go be a sympathizer with them, see how much they will put up with your crappy outlook. they’ll only put up with it for so long, then your dead, and they won’t give a crap.
GOD BLESS AMERICA! May she live long and prosper.
You are an idiot and a traitor to the USA. If you like them so much, go to Mexico and take them all with you!
But then, does the Constitution really matter, if one does not agree with it? It is amazing how people manipulate the Constitution for their own benefit and claim to be respectful of that sacred document, but only when it benefits their prejudices
no it doesn’t just watch how much the WHITE HOUSE manipulates it to justify what ever they want such as trying to repeal and deny us of our right to keep and bear arms when that right was put in there so # we could defend ourselves from invaders and tyrannical governments including our own and all the AZ bill does is strengthens the FEDERAL laws that our government is to WEAK WILLED to uphold on the basis it might piss off the wetbacks and spics WE live in AMERICA and WE should protect AMERICA against ALL invaders whether they are illegals or terrorists and if you are to CHICKEN LIVERED to stand behind the PATRIOTS that are trying to protect our great country then by all means STAND in front
DUDE, YOU ARE THEEEEE BIGGEST FULL OF SH*T ANTI-AMERICAN (OH, BESIDES YOUR PRESIDENT AND HIS POSSE) PROPAGANDA SPREADING LEFT WINGNUT I’VE HEARD IN A WHILE. DO YOU THINK JAN BREWER IS MAKING THIS ALL UP AND FIGHTING WITH THE GOVERNMENT BECAUSE SHE HAS NOTHING BETTER TO DO AND SHE LOVES TO BE STRESSED OUT. YOUR A FREAKIN MORON. THERE ARE STATISTICS ALLLLL OVER THE PLACE AND NUMBERS OF HOW THE ILLEGALS HAVE DESIMATED OUR COUNTRY. I SUPPOSE YOU THINK ALMOST THE WHOLE U.S. IS IN AN UPROAR OVER IT BECAUSE WE ALSO HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO. I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION FOR OVER 20 DAMN YEARS, I STARTED BECAUSE IT HAD DIRECTLY AFFECTED MY FAMILY AND CAUSED US TO LOSE EVERYTHING. I’VE BEEN CALLED EVERY NAME IN THE BOOK AND PROUD OF IT, IF THAT’S WHAT IT TAKES TO CLEAN UP THIS HELL HOLE COUNTRY THAT YOU AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU HAVE CREATED WITH YOUR “OH, POOR PEOPLE” BULLSHIT. WHY DON’T YOU GO STAND IN FRONT OF THE WELFARE OFFICE AND SEE THE PEOPLE GOING IN THERE AND WHAT KIND OF CARS THEY GET OUT OF, OR GO TO SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE AND HANG OUT AND LISTEN TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DON’T HAVE CITIZENSHIP GET YOUR MONEY. YOUR PAYING FOR THEM TOO, AND I HOPE WHEN OBAMA GIVES THEM ALL AMNESTY YOUR FAMILY’S WALLET IS THE FIRST TO BE STRUCK BY THE DAMAGE IT WILL REALLY DO AND IT WILL.THIS COUNTRY DIDN’T GET THIS FAR IN DEBT JUST BECAUSE THE REP. AND THE DEMS ARE OVER SPENDING, BELEIVE THAT. STOP FOAMING AT THE MOUTH AND SPEAK WHEN YOU ONLY HAVE A TRUTH TO SPEAK ABOUT. IF YOU THINK WE’RE ALL LIARS THEN GET THE F**K OUT OF OUR COUNTRY WE DON’T NEED YOU BLEEDING HEARTS LEADING US IN THE WRONG DIRECTION!!!!!!!!!!
NO IT’S THAT PEOPLE LIKE YOU DON’T REALLY KNOW WHAT THE CONSTITUTION SAYS. YOUR THE ONES WHO USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE, HOW DO YOU THINK THESE ILLEGALS WERE ABLE TO MISINTERPERATE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE, TO DROP THERE KIDS AS THEY CROSSED OVER THE BORDER. THE 14TH AMENDEMENT WAS WRITTEN TO LET THE SLAVES AND THEIR FAMILIES STAY HERE AFTER THEY WERE SET FREE. NOT SO EVERY TOM DICK AND HARRY CAN HAVE KIDS HERE AND STAY HERE!SO SEE YOU NEED TO READ IT YOURSELF BECAUSE YOUR AS CLUELESS AS THE PEOPLE YOUR PROTECTING. OH, JUST LIKE OBAMA IS GIVING AMNESTY TO 20 MILLION CRIMIALS WHO BROKE THE LAW AND ARE GETTING PAID FOR IT SO HE THINKS HE CAN GET REELECTED……..YA, OK!!!!! GO LIVE IN RUSSIA OR IRAQ AND SEE WHAT YOU GET.
Progressive Professor?
Site your sources for your facts. I’d love to believe it, but I need proof.
If you’re a professor and you ‘NOT TRUE’ everything, your credentials are suspect. Additionally if you have relatives/in-laws in this country who are illegal, that by deffinition takes you out of being impartial. You’d have to check your emotions at the door if you were to look at this issue correctly.
sorry. you dont live here. your opinion is not relevant….specific websites for backing up your spew. not “the FBI says” keep deleting the posts….you wont have any comments on your spew except positive ones. looks like no one agrees with you
So, with muslmslobamas help your tax records will be overlooked for how many years ???
You have absolutely no facts to support your claims. This is simply more Marxist drivel to be fed to the minions!
