The outcry over Arizona's new immigration law enforcement action is surprising, shocking, sickening,
and unpatriotic to the extreme. Journalists, Civil rights leaders and liberal actvists have all demonized and relabled patriotism,
as racism. What? In the words of Arizona State Senator Russell Pearce, “Illegal is not a race, it is a crime.”

The argument that this will “automatically lead to
racial profiling,” is a fallicy. It is a lie, and a terrible slap in the face to brave men and women we trust with our
very lives - not to mention our civil rights each and every day. When did “American” Mothers and Fathers, start
teaching their children to fear and mistrust the police? I never did.

The police are good enough to put their life
on the line to protect you, but they better not ask to see your ID if you get caught Jaywalking? If the tail light is out
on your car, you are going to get an attitude with the police officer because she wants to see your drivers license? What
up? Seriously, where is the problem?

Guess what America, three of my children are 50-percent Hispanic. Their Mother is a naturalzed American
Citizen from San Salvador, El Salvador. These kids are 100-percent American (Two were born in Phoenix), and they BETTER be
carrying their ID on them! They need to be responsible, and I need to know that they are alright, and that I’ll be notified
by – guess who, the police if they aren’t.
**
To continue to allow our Country and its Citizens to be used, and then spat upon by those same
criminals who are using US, is not only unpatriotic, it’s suicidal as a people. Right now there are misguided fanatics
cancelling their conventions in Arizona, the Arizona Diamondbacks are drawing protesters on the road, and many are
pushing for a tourism boycott.

When
the new coalition named “Boycott Arizona” announced their creation, former State Sen. Alfredo Gutierrez said,
"The goal is to, as quickly as possible, bring to a shocking stop the economy of Arizona." This and other groups
are asking people not to fly on Tempe-based US Airways; or rent trucks from Phoenix-based U-Haul. A New York congressman is
urging major league baseball to move the 2011 All Star Game out of Phoenix.

The MLB Players' Union, says it opposes the new law. It issued a statement expressing concern that
the new law could have a "negative impact" on hundreds of ballplayers and their families. What? Unless they
are here illegally, and in Arizona committing an offense witnessed by a duly sworn police officer, and they have no ID on
them or can’t communicate with the officer, how are they going to be affected?
*
I don’t care if you are a Civil rights leader, an Archbishop
or the President of Mexico, illegal immigration is a clear and present danger to America and her people. Our parents came
here as legal immigrants from every country on the planet. Many of them gave their blood and lives for America.

God Bless America, Arizona, and all of US! –
