17 more states planning Ariz. 'illegal' crackdown  

I do not believe there should be picking and choosing about which laws are enforced, just as there should be no picking and choosing about which laws are obeyed. It would be chaos if I for instance felt that I should be able to drive as my friends in Europe, on the other side of the road way. Especially if there were others making this choice, but not everyone. In short, I think we have some people in the federal government driving on the wrong side of the road.

Really no one is above the law no matter what they think that they are.
THis has been federal law for as long as I can remeber that illeagles are illeagle and tey shold be sent back .
and any state shouild be able to pass the same law as soveriegn styates!!!!!

All I can say is thank god its about time we the people stood up and made a statement. The American people have been way to complacent in their elected officials and their performance. Finally they have realized that enough is enough and are going to start fighting back, I only hope that it isn't too late.

The political system is far from perfect but it is the only thing that keeps us from total anarchy and the people have been allowing their trust to be raped and pillaged by politicians that are too power hungry to be true leaders. Power hungry people can't serve the people they can only serve themselves at the expense of the people who elected them.

I am hoping things can escalate to the point where the politicians are forced to listen to the people and I hope it can be done without violence and before it is too late....in many respects it seems as if this country has already been sold down the river.

No they can not ignbore these laWS. Our esteemed President seems to have an uncanny ability to promote division in our great country. He started with the haves and the have nots (I am a have not by the way) and has now moved on to an out and out racial/culture war. This scares the hell out of me and I really do not know where this will leave us.

In my opinion we do need laws enforced! But, the law has to be enforced by the right agencies.A state like AZ is wrong for taking matters in their own hands. That's like if they kill your mom and you go after the killer. There is a reason why laws are in place and you can never take it upon yourself. I don't think the AZ law will go far. Too many lawsuits, and even if it last AZ wll go bankrupt with all the l,lawsuits pending to come.

All states need to be tougher on illegal immigration and thanks to Arizona more states will be.

No, government officials do not have the right to pick and choose which laws to enforce or not.

However, they have been doing that for a long time at ALL levels of government and we have been letting them get away with it. How many of our local police officers ignore local laws like "spitting on the sidewalk" or "making a lane change or turn without a turn signal"? Many of the police officers regularly violate these laws themselves. That is also why so many judges try to be lenient with drunk drivers as long as no one is hurt (it could have been them doing the drunk driving, they just didn't get caught).

Obama did not help himself when he and Calderon both stood there making disparaging comments about Arizona and their illegal immigration law. You do not publicly chastize your own people while buddying up to an outsider. Mexico has worse penalties for illegal immigrants in their country and treats them much worse than we treat illegal immigrants. Their president has no right to come to our country and put us down when his own track record is so poor. Maybe Obama should go to Mexico and run for President there if he likes the Mexican people and government so much.

Good for those 17teen states. As long as you impeach all the way down to the Speaker of the House I am with you but not just Obama or not just Obama and Biden.

Wonder who side is Barack Hussein Obama really on,for me I knew who Obama was that is why I voted against him Nov 4,2008 and very dam glad that I did the right thing for my country.
In my opinion it has been a total disgrace to have the Mexican president on our congress floor in the first place,he is a man that governors a country out of control with every kind of crime that is thinkable.
Thousands of drug related murders in Mexico just last year,peoples body found cut a part in bags all along the Mexican boarder.
Parents are fearful to walk their children to school in the day light,the Mexican people live in real fear of their life's 24-7.
Arizona God bless them they are doing what our government officials for years has refuse to do deport illegals in our country.
We the people for the most part has came to the sad realization it is we the people against a regime that fully intends to destroy our country.
Both the one that holds the title of the president of the United States and the president of Mexico are a total disgrace.




(MEXICO IMMIGRATION LAWS ARE ENFORCED READ THEIR LAWS AT THE LINK BELOW)

Mexico which annually deports more illegal aliens than the United States does, has much to teach us about how it handles the immigration issue. Under Mexican law, it is a felony to be an illegal alien in Mexico.

At a time when the Supreme Court and many politicians seek to bring American law in line with foreign legal norms, it's noteworthy that nobody has argued that the U.S. look at how Mexico deals with immigration and what it might teach us about how best to solve our illegal immigration problem. Mexico has a single, streamlined law that ensures that foreign visitors and immigrants are:
# in the country legally;
# have the means to sustain themselves economically;
# not destined to be burdens on society;
# of economic and social benefit to society;
# of good character and have no criminal records; and
# contributors to the general well-being of the nation.

The law also ensures that:
# immigration authorities have a record of each foreign visitor;
# foreign visitors do not violate their visa status;
# foreign visitors are banned from interfering in the country's internal politics;
# foreign visitors who enter under false pretenses are imprisoned or deported;
# foreign visitors violating the terms of their entry are imprisoned or deported;
# those who aid in illegal immigration will be sent to prison.

Who could disagree with such a law? It makes perfect sense. The Mexican constitution strictly defines the rights of citizens -- and the denial of many fundamental rights to non-citizens, illegal and illegal. Under the constitution, the Ley General de Poblacion, or General Law on Population, spells out specifically the country's immigration policy.

It is an interesting law -- and one that should cause us all to ask, Why is our great southern neighbor pushing us to water down our own immigration laws and policies, when its own immigration restrictions are the toughest on the continent? If a felony is a crime punishable by more than one year in prison, then Mexican law makes it a felony to be an illegal alien in Mexico.

To question ONE: NO.
To question TWO: ABSOLUTIVELY!!!!!
