Arizona governor, Jan Brewer, is to be commended for showing fortitude in signing an immigration law in an attempt to deter the horrific influx of illegal people in Arizona. These people have and are now involved in human trafficking, murder, robbery, kidnappings, smuggling illegal drugs, draining thousands of dollars from education, hospitals, etc. It is evident that the Obama administration, although has Constitutional responsibility to keep its citizens safe and to protect its borders has done nothing. Therefore Governor Brewer stepped forward with the immigration law not only to protect Arizonians but other American citizens.

In regard to our federal government here are the names of past presidents and how they handled illegal immigrants: President Hoover ordered deportation of ALL illegal immigrants to make jobs available for American citizens. President Eisenhower deported 1.3 million illegal immigrants so veterans would have a chance at jobs. It is time the federal government enforce our present immigration laws. Actually more states are positioning themselves to pass laws regarding immigration since the Obama administration is only exasperating its negligence.

Rather than illegal immigrants and other marching and rallying against the Arizona law why not rally against the democrat - socialist administrators who are slowly taking over our Democratic Republic government. The Obama administration is working daily to take away our rights and liberties - wake up and beware - it is happening!

Reminder: Don’t forget to pay your taxes...12 million illegal immigrants are depending on you! Isn’t it time for our president to follow the actions of those past presidents?
