Obama and Congress Fail on Immigration

Arizona is struggling to survive the influx of illegal aliens and the President and Congress do nothing.

Crime is rampant, budgets are being overwhelmed and services stretched to the breaking point.

In the debris left by illegals immigrants' passing, Islamic materials such as copies of the Quran, prayer rugs, etc., have been found - so it is not only Mexicans illegally coming to our country!

To protect themselves from this horde of at least 500,000 who have taken up illegal residence there, Arizona passed its own immigration law, mirroring U.S. law.

The federal government, which is responsible for controlling our borders, simply refuses to carry out those responsibilities.

By their own admission, neither the president, nor those in his administration, nor the Democrats in Congress, had ever even read the Arizona law!

Yet they condemned it out of hand, portraying it in a most negative fashion.

As usual, the president saw fit to apologize to the world for Arizona's action. President Felipe Calderon of Mexico journeyed here to condemn Arizona's law and was given a sympathetic ear by President Obama!

In a speech to Congress, Calderon was severely critical of our country. Congressional Democrats should have sat on their hands at this insult, but instead gave him a standing ovation!

Mexico's own immigration laws are very harsh, and make Arizona's law look like it was written by liberals!

If you go to Mexico and commit any infraction, you will be severely punished, and incarcerated for years!

In contrast to our laws, you have very few rights there.

Why are the president and the Democrats deliberately refusing to listen to its citizens and secure America's borders, while lying about those who will?

They want amnesty and citizenship for all illegals!

Their aim is to expand the voting base of the Democratic Party by millions to keep them in power!

Americans will no longer tolerate this inaction by those who were sworn to uphold the laws of the U.S. and protect its citizens -- we call on many members of congress to call for immediate impeachment!
