Well it seems that there are at least four — maybe five or six — U.S. Supreme Court justices who believe that our good state of Arizona’s SB 1070 statute, if not 100 percent legal under the U.S. Constitution, is half right, anyway.
As Russell Pearce pointed out in his Senate testimony, the U.S. government doesn’t tell Arizona how to enforce drug laws, kidnapping laws or rape laws in respect to “racial profiling,” so why should it be any different for laws regarding aliens illegally entering the United States?
Obama’s “wise Latina,” Justice Sotomayor, tried to whip out the race card but none of the other Justices were buying that “red herring” argument.
The Democrats seem to consider illegal aliens, or as they love to call them “undocumented immigrants” as a wonderful inter-Americas social experiment, never mentioning the cost to Arizona’s legal population. The Obama administration estimates that there are 360,000 illegal aliens in Arizona.
If one-in-five are working that means 72,000 jobs stolen away from legal Arizona job seekers. If one-in-ten (36,000) are K-12 schoolchildren, then Arizona taxpayers are paying $7,670 per illegal alien student per year to the tune of $250 million out of our $2.2 billion K-12 education budget.
Folks, 72,000 stolen jobs and $250 million may be “chump change” to Arizona’s Democrats and Hispanic rights activists.
But when legal Arizona families have to cut back on their food budget, gas budget and utilities budget to pay their Arizona income taxes, they sure have a different opinion.

Yes, everyone should print it out and frame it.
The only known post from Leon where he wasn't spewing about " Liberals " or " Socialists / Communists " and blaming the ills of the world on those evil people.

The citizens of Arizona along with citizens of all states are suffering the results of our federal government not enforcing our laws.

Leon,
You and Russell Pearce ask where "the U.S. government doesn’t tell Arizona how to enforce drug laws, kidnapping laws or rape laws in respect to “racial profiling,” so why should it be any different for laws regarding aliens illegally entering the United States?"
I've explained this to you over and over and over again. It's called federal preemption. Under the US Constitution immigration law and law enforcement is reserved to the Feds. Drug trafficing, kidnapping [not crossing state lines] and rap are not reserved.
Now is this such a hard concept to grasp? Your ignorance is showing. Time to shut up and restart your education.
The issue to be decided by the supremes is "Where immigration law is exclusively within the sole provence of the feds, does Arizona SB 1070 cross the line stepping on federal enforcement toes?" Looks like the supremes will say no. But they will not back off of existing preemption law. You can bet on that!

Leon, was I right? Captain Neo-Con is so very predictable is he not? [wink]

federal preemption doesn't have anything to do with it Dale. Arizona law does not set policy over immigration. That is the only way federal preemption would come into play. Even the Obummer's Hispanic justice could tell how their argument was not going to hold water, but you go on spouting this nonsense over and over again till someone thinks you know what you're talking about. I'm sure you have some idiots convinced. Immigration law is not something only the feds can enforce. Immigration policy is the feds sole responsibility. The legislature created immigration laws that Arizona wants to help enforce. There is nothing about federal preemption in this story. You kool-ade drinking obamazombies need to wake up.

Leon Ceniceros stated: “The Democrats seem to consider illegal aliens, or as they love to call them “undocumented immigrants” as a wonderful inter-Americas social experiment, never mentioning the cost to Arizona’s legal population.”
That is why the Obama administration is selectively enforcing federal laws by focusing on finding and deporting convicted criminals while letting other undocumented immigrants remain in the country. But, if the U.S. Supreme Court upholds Arizona's SB 1070 immigration law, that will change in many states.

Right. And Dale and the rest always use "it is the Feds job" argument. So when we all can use our eyes to see that the fed is not doing it's job we should just sit back and say OK? Then let the State, local Hospitals etc etc pay for the incompetence of the Fed. Bad answer.
