Three cheers for Phoenix! Police will soon begin asking people who are arrested if they are legally in the United States. (click here for article)
Shockingly, some people with the ACLU are concerned that people who appear to be Latino and people who speak with accents will be checked more than others.
At some point, United Statesians must begin to challenge the lunacy espoused by these people: OF COURSE people who appear to be Latino will be more likely to be asked if they are in this country illegally. There are estimates that between 12 and 25 million Latinos have broken U.S. law and are in fact in this country illegally. No other ethnic group of people comes anywhere close to contributing this number of immigration law breakers to our society.
If law abiding Latino people do not like this situation, they should stand together with the other United States citizens and legal residents and demand the law breakers leave this country immediatly and come back only when they have permission to return.
(These ACLU people should remember they are the "American" Civil Liberties Union. I suppose the organization's name should be an accurate reflection of its mission- it seems its mission to ensure the individual rights of the people of the United States is clear. (click here for ACLU info) What is not clear is whether their political beliefs interfere with their non-profit goals... Or maybe they should rename themselves the Americas' Civil Liberties Union. Better yet, how about The United States Civil Liberties Union- and refocus their efforts to protect U.S. citizens who need their help. )
The rights of every citizen of the United States are impacted by illegal immigration. If people want to help citizens of other countries, they should work to strengthen the rights of the people in those countries and/or send money to groups within those counties fighting for freedom. Many of the problems around the world stem from governments around the world interfering in their citizens' natural rights to economic, religious and political freedom.
There is a reason people risk their lives to come to the United States. It is interesting to note that few people risk their lives to leave the U.S.
So I say - GO PHOENIX! and hope that cities around the country begin to ask away as well...

I'm amazed at just how many people outside the USA click on my blog daily. Thank you! I hope together we can work towards world peace. Check out my posting tonight as I discuss this at peoplepowergranny.blogspot.com. And vote in my poll as to whether you trust folks from other countries as well as those in your own.
