OUTRAGE OF THE WEEK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


New Low for Federal Judges

Like hundreds of towns across the country, Cave Creek, AZ has been flooded with illegal immigrants who would walk along the streets and highways soliciting work. Besides the obvious safety hazards, wherever they come, crime and litter follow. This is reason enough to do something about the problem, but the most important reason would be that when you cut off their access to illegal employment, the illegal aliens go home.

The situation became so severe that Cave Creek passed an ordinance that banned everyone, regardless of race or immigration status, from soliciting work on the highway. Because the law applies universally, the open borders lobby cannot pretend that it is "racist," "xenophobic," or "profiling." So the ACLU and MALDEF sued the town because, in the words of their attorney Mónica RamÃ*rez, "This ordinance unfairly and unlawfully singles out and punishes day laborers by taking away their right to free speech."

We doubt the Founders had illegal aliens harassing motorists on the highway in mind when they came up with the First Amendment, but last week, a federal judge issued a temporary order in favor of the ACLU and MALDEF and suspended the law!

Makes you wonder if anyone in power is on our side.

Update: United Nations Pulls Out of Prince William County
Our last "Outrage of the Week" was about a group called Mexicanos sin Fronteras (Mexicans without borders) bringing the United Nations' "migrants' rights" investigator, radical Mexican Nationalist Jorge Bustamante, to check that the town isn't involved in human rights abuses for checking on the immigration status of criminals and denying a few government benefits to illegal aliens.
Who do these people think they are? As if Americans weren't going to respond to such a fragrant disrespect to our sovereignty, both local and national!
On Wednesday, Tom Tancredo was planning to have a press conference to coincide with his visit, but Bustamante backed out. He postponed the investigation citing "something unexpected of extreme gravity" and that was "totally outside my control.

We have heard from a number of sources that the U.N. pulled Bustamante when they realized that the investigation backfired when they realized that Americans were responding to yet another assault on our borders and sovereignty.
We've kept him out of town for now, and will be sure that if and when Dr. Bustamante decides to darken the steps of Prince William County, we will be ready to show him the door.

WASHINGTON WATCH

Hell Freezes Over...President Bush Supports the Rule of Law,
Sometimes you have to give the devil his due. On Friday, President Bush wrote an executive order that requires all contractors with the federal government to use the E-Verify system in order to check the legal status of their new hires. E-Verify is a pilot program that allows employers to ensure their employees are here legally. The order states, "It is the policy of the executive branch to enforce fully the immigration laws of the United States, including the detection and removal of illegal aliens and the imposition of legal sanctions against employers that hire illegal aliens."

For the last seven and a half years, it's been the policy of the Bush administration to ignore the immigration laws of this country, but this is a good, if very late, start; and we'll take it.

NOTE: Unless legislation is passed, the E-Verify system will expire at the end of November. This is one of the most important legislative battles we are facing this year. We will keep you informed.

Presidential Pandering: Obama and McCain will Speak to La Raza
Barack Obama just announced that he will join John McCain at the National Council of La Raza's (The Race) convention in July. The convention is heavily funded by Corporate America and is expected to have over 20,000 people in attendance. Both camps will be pandering, as Obama and McCain argue over who will give more amnesty and tax funded goodies to the illegal aliens.

And the mainstream media will be hyping up Hispanics as the key "swing vote." For example the LA Times already called the convention "among the most important [appearances] they make during the month."

A quick reality check: Hispanics make only around six percent of the electorate and it is insulting to assume they all want amnesty. In 2004, Arizona passed tough immigration control ballot initiatives with 47 percent of the Hispanic vote. Hispanics have always voted heavily Democratic regardless of the Republican candidates' stand is on immigration. But by inflating the power of the pro-amnesty Hispanic voting bloc, they make it easier to ignore the rest of America who wants their borders secured and their laws enforced.
