Thanks to judge Susan Bolton, illegal immigrants are temporarily claiming a victory

US District Judge Susan Bolton issued a temporary injunction to halt key parts of Arizona Senate bill 1070 that would have required police to check immigration status of anybody suspected of being an illegal alien if they are stopped by police.

"the number of requests that would emanate from Arizona as a result of determining the status of every arrestee is likely to impermissibly burdened federal resources and redirect federal agencies away from the priorities they have established," Judge Bolton wrote

"... burdened federal resources and redirect federal agencies away from the priorities they have established."

What the heck does that mean? I mean I am "assuming" that their PRIORITY is the protection of the United States and its citizens. But I digress.

What the judge is basically saying is that we do not have enough resources to protect our own country from foreign invaders.

Think about that statement for a moment before you make your decision about this issue. Even the Secretary of Homeland security has indicated that Arizona's borders are too "big" to protect.

Now doesn't that just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside as you think about the security of our country against foreign invaders.

consider this...What if every one of these people that cross the borders were actually armed and their primary purpose was to take over this country by force? Think about it.

In my opinion, I think the judge's decision has opened up a Pandora's box because it will literally come down to a battle between "them" and "us".

The federal government's argument against the Arizona law is that [listen carefully] "states are not allowed to go beyond federal law."
If that were true, then there are other issues ranging from college requirements on the administrating student loans to California going beyond the EPA requirements on emissions.

But for those who are jumping up and down with joy over the judge's decision, don't break out the champagne just yet. This is ONLY a stay of execution and this issue will be challenged all the way up to the Supreme Court.

Although the judge put on hold the major portions of the Arizona law, one provision that she is allowing is penalties permitting civil suits for sanctuary cities.

I also have to admire Arizona Governor Jim Brewer for sticking to her guns and standing up to the federal government for what she and the people of Arizona believe in.
