I asked this question of Josh Romney (Mitt Romney’s son) when he spoke at our tea party meeting last year. He promised to send me an answer but I have not received one.

Live in Arizona? Live near the border? Think things are scary now? If our Sheriffs lose their authority, get ready for a nightmare.
The U.S. Supreme Court is now in the midst of deciding the constitutionality of Arizona’s strict immigration law. President Obama has spent a lot of time and money challenging this law, but he should consider that this law would not exist if it wasn’t for his own actions.
