“I don’t support any genocide”
Right, you just support the intentional demographic elimination of White children on a global scale and call it “Celebrating Diversity”.

Asia for Asians, Africa for Africans, White countries for everybody??????????
Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.
The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.
Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to â€œassimilate,â€ i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.
What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?
How long would it take anyone to realize Iâ€™m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?
And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldnâ€™t object to this?
But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives will just say that I'm a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.
They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.
Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.

Nice try. Why is your publication not investigating the New Democrat voter act; wait, it's called the "Dream" Act

The word constitution does not contain the word "immigration".
It does have the word "naturalization".
I haven't found any dictionary that
defines "naturalization" as immigration.
Naturalization is the right to grant citizenship and nothing else.
"Immigration" has a completely different meaning.

The only real problem with the Constitutionality of SB 1070, is that the U.S. Constitution does not contain any rules that enforce its own requirements.
The U.S. has immigration laws, and the Federal Government is charged, by the Constitution with upholding and enforcing those laws. But members of this administration have chosed to violate their oaths of office and disregard the laws they have sworn to uphold.
Further they have sought legal means to block others from doing the job they refuse to do. The failing is that the Constitution carries no penalites for the polliticians who abdicate their duties as this administration has done. What his needed is a Constitutional Amendment that mandates impeachment of Presidents and other public officials who violate their oath of office.
If such a rule existed, either the borders would be secure and the laws enforced, or Barry Obama and Eric Holder whould both be out of work.
If such a rule were included in the Constitution, there would be no need for SB 1070.

For all of you so-called Arizona commentors, I currently live 35 miles from the border, and in fact I also lived in Nogales (on the border), and in Sierra Vista (about 20 air miles from the border).
To me, none of you have a clue what is going on.
IT is the same old BIGOTED, RACIST comments again and again.
What is really true is that Arizona is changing, and will continue to change, and there is NOTHING you can do about it, except of course to understand and support it.

First off, what in the world does someone form Boston know about the effacts of illegal immigraiton on broder states. Come down to Arizona and live in any town within 100 miles of the border and see for yourself just how safe it is. When the federal gov needs to put signs in national and state lands to warn of the dangers of drug smugglers its not safe!
Additionally just because the numbers are dropping doesn't mean the problem is solved. wHEN NUMBERS DROP FROM 500,000 illegal entrys to 300,000 illegal entries, that's still 300,000 people beaking federal laws entering the country illegally. Some of these people are seeking work, but some are criminals trying to escape the countries they are sought in. Just last month the feds arrested hundresds of illegals, many with horrible criminal backgorund. As an Arizona resident, I don't want these people running around.
Truth is neither party has fixed hte problem, so the state has tried to assist the federal authorities. Too bad liberal left wing nut jobs can't report the truths of the law and whats happening in the state.

This entire article is just one more version of the same old ridiculous propaganda from the proponents of illegal immigration. Any argument that claims the presence of 12 million illegal aliens is not indicative of a lack of action by the authorities is in itself teetotally ridiculous.

Is not indefinite detention already the law of the land under some terrorism statute?
Arizona isn't naturalizing anyone. Straw man silliness.
It's common for states and feds to have similar laws and enforcement. Feds have anti-drug laws and enforcement. States have anti-drug laws and enforcement. Feds have anti-terrorism units, New York city has anti-terrorism units.
Arizona laws are in support of Federal immigration law. Sanctuary cities, on the other hand, have laws directly contradicting federal law. The problems obviously isn't one of jurisdiction, but corruption on the federal level to enforce laws.
