Arizona Legislators Want to Jail Undocumented
Radio Bilingüe, Posted: Jun 12, 2009
PHOENIX -- Undocumented immigrants in Arizona could be jailed simply for their immigration status if some legislators get their way, according to a Noticiero Latino report on Radio Bilingüe. This week a state legislative committee approved a bill allowing the imprisonment of undocumented immigrants in the state, which until now has been the exclusive job of the federal government. The bill is expected to go before the Arizona Senate next week for a formal vote. The legislation would allow local police to arrest and jail undocumented immigrants themselves, rather than having to turn them over to federal authorities for deportation. Immigrant rights groups are calling the measure discriminatory, while others oppose the cost of maintaining undocumented immigrants in Arizona prisons.

The age-old pesky U.S.-Mexico border problem has taxed the resources of both countries, led to long lists of injustices, and appears to be heading only for worse troubles in the future. Guess what? The border problem can never be solved. Why? Because the border IS the problem! It's time for a paradigm change.
Never fear, a satisfying, comprehensive solution is within reach: the Megamerge Dissolution Solution. Simply dissolve the border along with the failed Mexican government, and megamerge the two countries under U.S. law, with mass free 2-way migration eventually equalizing the development and opportunities permanently, with justice and without racism, and without threatening U.S. sovereignty or basic principles.
Google "Megamerge Dissolution Solution".

Until we change the U.S. constitution, immigration is the domain of federal law no matter what states-rights advocates may claim. What is needed now is a constitutional convention to replace the electoral college system with a one-person-one-vote system in presidential and other elections. Once parity among all citizens is established, federal legislation will begin to reflect the will of the people: immigration reform will end the plight of millions of immigrant workers forced to live in the shadows, hunted down like animals as in Postville, Iowa, in May 2008, murdered by racist vigilantes as in Arizona this past May;in Shenendoah, Pennsylvania, in July 2009; etc. etc. If we go back far enough, we find we all emigrated from Africa--no human is illegal.

Our government fails the most basic and primary task & duty of government, to protect this Nation and its Citizens from invasion and enforce its laws.
They refuse to abide by our Constitution, refuse to enforce our Immigration Laws and refuse to honor their Oath of Office!
Our Government, past & present, Republican & Democrat, have allowed the invasion of 20 to 30 million criminals and uneducated peons which is the largest invasion of any Nation, at any time, by any means & in direct violation of Article IV, Section IV of our Constitution.
This refusal to abide by our Constitution or enforce our Immigration Laws should be classified as Treason of the most foul kind, & as grounds for impeachment & trials for Treason!
Not only have they allowed the invasion, they force American tax payers to pay Billions on Billions of dollars to provide Welfare, Prison cells, Educate the invaders numerous children, and free medical care, at the same time the invading horde break numerous laws and massive document fraud, & are destroying our schools, hospitals, communities, culture and standard of living while Robbing, Raping, Killing & Assaulting American Citizens at an rate the terrorist can only dream about.
Recent statements in Mexico from both President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary something needs to be done. "Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals causes the deaths of police officers, soldiers, and civilians," she said.
But no mention, concern or care that their refusal to stop the Massive Invasion of Illegal Aliens pouring across our borders or enforce our immigration laws that causes an estimated 25 Americans deaths per day and 10,s of thousands victims of Assault, Robberies, Rapes, Identify thief, and other assorted crimes committed by the invading horde of Illegal Aliens from Mexico on American citizens each year!
It is a telling indictment & shows their Empathy & Compassion of our Politicians & their priorities when they express 100,s of time more concern over three Terrorist being water broader than the havoc & crimes of Illegal Aliens against American Citizens!
Most of our Politicians in Wash. DC are wading knee deep in innocent American blood and suffering because they put Self Interest ahead of the interest of American Citizens & the future of this Nation!
The Welfare vote for the Democrats to further their Socialist Agenda and the Slave Labor for their Pay Masters in the Chamber of Commerce & Business for the Republicans is more important to our Corrupt power mad Politicians than the lives and safety of Americans citizens!
The Citizens of this Nation have not sacrificed with blood, sweat & tears for over 200 years & obeyed the Laws of the land, paid the taxes, and fought the wars & built this Nation to see Corrupt politicians turn this Nation into the United States of Mexico without a shot being fired, to serve their demented, nefarious goals and lust for power!
