MAKE A RUN FOR THE BORDER

According to the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, finally passed as law in 2007 as a Federal response to 9/11, passports are required for travel between Canada, the US, Bermuda, and Mexico. If you, as an American citizen, travel to either Mexico or Canada, you can not re-enter the United States without a passport or other Federally-approved documentation.  PERIOD.  "Papers, please."

"Papers, please" is heard by every US Citizen attempting to re-enter this country legally.  Why  is there no outcry from the pro-amnesty-for-illegals crowd?  Why are we hearing no cries of: "NAZI, NAZI, NAZI!" at this intrusion into the privacy of AMERICAN CITIZENS??  Well, because it's the LAW, correct?  It's a law enacted to protect Americans from terrorists, so it must be a good law, right? 

It is a Federal crime to enter the United States of America without proper "papers."
It is a Federal crime to attempt to re-enter the US without proof of US citizenship. 
It is a Federal crime to falsify a Social Security account, or to use another person's SSA card or number.
It is a Federal crime to reside in this country without express "permission:" a current visa and passport, for example.  Staying in this country after a visa has expired is also a Federal crime.
It is a Federal crime to remain in the United States after a court-ordered deportation,
no matter who your nephew is, nor what office he holds.
It is a Federal crime to re-enter the United States after having been deported.

If the Federal Government can't deal with "12 million illegals," particularly when the number is closer to TWENTY MILLION,  how in God's green earth do you expect them to handle the physical wellbeing of 330 million citizens?  If there is no accurate method of checking a Social Security Card's validity, how can you expect to expect the Government to determine what "adequate" healthcare insurance is?  You can be certain that thousands of taxpayers will receive hefty "fines" for "inadequate" insurance, and equally certain that no illegal alien will be turned away from any clinic or hospital, because YOU are going to pick up their tabs, all 12-or-20 million of them!

Oregon's government is teetering on bankruptcy, not so much from the massive influx of illegals, but moreso due to moronic fiscal policies in general.  Arizona's economy is in a shambles due to the flood of illegal aliens using up medical, police, fire, housing,  food programs and other resources far faster than taxpayers can provide them.  The only way to stem the flood is to make illegal entry into this country painful, and to make staying in this country illegally extremely painful.  Since the Federal Government won't enforce the border, the states must take it upon themselves to secure their own borders, and to provide for the general welfare and safety of their citizens.
The Arizona state government is simply upholding the laws already enacted by the Federal Government, but  which laws said Federal Government refuses to enforce in much the same way that the Chicago city government allowed Al Capone to sell liquor flagrantly during the times of the Volstead Act.

Both political parties look at the tide of illegal aliens as if they are "undocumented voters," the keys to political power for decades to come:  schmooze up to the Latino today, secure his vote tomorrow via another "shamnesty."  POWER.  It's always about MONEY, or political POWER, or BOTH.


My position is quite simple, really:  If you come to my front door, I will welcome you with open arms as a friend.  However, if I catch you sneaking through the window at two in the morning, you'd best be prepared to meet Messr.s Smith & Wesson at the very least, and your Maker in all probability.  Should not our national borders be as safe and as secure and as sacrosanct as the thresholds to our own homes? 

If that makes me a NAZI, well then:  oh, well!
