Border Wars – Arizona Official Threatens To Cut Los Angeles Utilities over City Boycott - The Road to Anarchy

The Arizona Mexican Border - westcom.org

AnNCB Los Angeles article reports that an Arizona utility commissioner has threatened to shut off 25% of the cities power over their boycott of Arizona. Arizona’s new immigration law (which mirrors the Federal Laws) has the Los Angeles City Council up in arms – they cite the law as possibly discriminatory, although that City and the State of California are subject to the same laws via Federal statutes which are simply not enforced. With Arizona in harm’s way, due to increased violent crime directly linked to the open border and refusal of the Federal government to do its job and enforce and protect national borders, Los Angles and other cities who have issued similar “mandates” to employees to boycott Arizona are, in a word, ridiculous. It would make far more sense, for those who would see risk, to boycott Mexico, as it has erupted in uncontrollable violence, due to drug lords, gangs and random acts of violence which places United States tourists at grave risk. In addition, as Arizona and one suspects other border states, have had this anarchy spill over its borders, every State has the right to protect its citizens, specifically if the politically motivated Federal government refuses to do so.

Desperate entreaties by both Arizona Senators John McCain and Jon Kyle, have gone unheeded by the Administration and Homeland Security Head, Janet Napolitano, has placed a bigger emphasis on troops being sent to control the oil spill in the gulf, as that situation, gone untended for weeks, has taken priority. Calderon, speaking from the White House, gave the usual platitudes regarding Mexico’s partnership to stem the crime along the border, which, to date, has only worsened. The U.S. sends Mexico millions of dollars in aid each year to help with law enforcement; however, it appears not to have helped in the least.

One has to hand it to McCain – in defense of Arizona and in conversation with Napolitano:

"If you'll indulge me, we think we have another crisis on the border," Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., told Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano at a hearing this week. "I want to know about whether you're going to send the Guard to the border or not."
When she tried to explain other DHS improvements along the border, McCain cut her off.
"People's homes are being violated, and their families can't take kids to the bus stop," the senator fumed. "And you are very familiar with the issue, because you yourself asked for the Guard to go to the border back in 2006."

One also has to hand it to that Arizona Utility Commissioner, who has stood up to the insanity of those that live in isolation of progressive ideology, (and gated communities). One gets the impression, were those city councilors from Boston to LA living on the Arizona border, they’d be singing a different tune. One can hazard to guess that many in that state, fed up with the Federal Government and like minded municipalities, would help that commission flip the switch and send a message to LA.

In all fairness to the present administration, the preceding administrations did nothing but throw money at Mexico in an effort to help them police the border, while doing nothing to actually enforce the current laws and end the nonsense. One must understand there is such a thing as a “Green Card” and other methods to which law-abiding immigrants can get over the border, through a checkpoint. There simply is no excuse, and, as the crisis is coming to a head, it is time to take action and protect those on both sides of the border. With an enforcement of border laws by the Federal government, the human trafficking would be greatly diminished, gangs and drugs as well, giving a bit of peace to all those who are at risk from illegally imported criminal activity.

The fact that Mexico and the United States are separate countries appears to be lost on progressives, and those radicals who believe, wrongly, that certain sections of the U.S. are Mexican territory. There was a war, we won, they lost, case closed. As to the millions here, illegally, regardless of national origin (and that includes Europeans) should be given an opportunity to come forward and apply for a green card, to allow them to work here in the U.S. – or they can claim political asylum, giving up their Mexican, Irish, or what-have-you citizenship. As a fist generation American, with parents that did just that, and legally, it is beyond comprehension how, decade after decade, the disregard to this great nation is apparent, from both sides of the border. Arizona is an example of what is right about this country, and constitutionally, they have taken steps to protect themselves. While Senators McCain and Kyl literally spit into the wind trying to reason with Napolitano, a utility commissioner in Arizona gets it right. Should nothing be done, and the nonsense continue, the potential for real violence exists, by the citizens of the United States, taking measures to protect life and property, in those states most effected by illegal immigrants. It would be far better for this Administration or more likely the next, to lock down, once and for all, all borders, enforce existing laws, before chaos truly erupts. It is a lack of doing nothing, which is fostering any so called “racial” tensions, and that is the biggest crime having been committed.

Oh Canada! Understanding Janet Napolitano – An Agent of Change – Apologies from Massachusetts

Napalitano does Canada - image : Canada Post

Canadian’s are a bit perplexed over comments made by Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano and the Canadian’s role in the 9/11 terrorists attacks. In newspapers across Canada the horror and confusion regarding the appointment of Ms. Napolitano is hitting headlines, and American’s are posting to sites apologizing for the administration’s choice of a less than qualified individual to head one of the country’s vital bureaucracies.

From the National Post: “The border for dummies”, the Post covers the basics of Ms. Napolitano’s ignorance regarding where terrorists entered the United States before 9-11, and goes on to question what exactly she meant when backtracking after being told she made a blunder and came out with this gem:

“Informed of her error, Ms. Napolitano blustered: "I can't talk to that. I can talk about the future. And here's the future. The future is we have borders."

One has to be proud, as an American, that Ms. Napolitano understands that there even are borders, considering that the manner in which this administration is handling everything from the economy to foreign policy is questionable to say the least.
However, her continued stunning ignorance is eroding what is left of any respect someone who is living in still living in a commune in either San Francisco or Chicago might hold for the poor woman.

From the CBC:
“Canada more lax than U.S. about whom it lets in, Napolitano says” – enough said.

Anyone with the intelligence of a prune understands that there is a vast difference between Canada’s immigration policy and that of the United States, specifically when it comes to whom it lets in and whom it does not: For example from the Hills of Vermont to the rugged North Dakota Mountains, hoards of Canadian’s are not risking life and limb to break into the United States – there are no Canadian drug gangs shooting up the towns along the border – Canada is not Mexico, and border security, getting and out of Canada at least – is tight.

Every so often, a trip into the beautiful province of Quebec is called for, and an easy ride through the Green Mountain State of Vermont, when one reaches the border, the wait to cross is not overly long, the questions, thorough, and the border guards welcoming, proud of their country. Leaving Canada, one is subjected to a more thorough investigation to include a trunk search (in the event of any non-duty free shopping). What one notices most however, is that almost all of the vehicles entering or exiting the United States, contain American’s – with passports (and prior to the need to have a passport: two forms of identification.)

The problem: Ms. Napolitano has most likely never crossed the Canadian border (and in future, that might not be an option, given the opinion Canadian’s now hold of said Secretary of Homeland Security), and therefore, has no idea of what it is like, so she assumed it was just like Mexico, a border with which she is acquainted. Ms. Napolitano arrived in Washington via Arizona, where she held the Governor’s office (cheering Arizonans could be heard as far away as Utah), where Mexican’s, and all individuals from all types of country’s (except Canada) enter freely.
As Governor, Ms. Napolitano “hoped” that the violence caused by the drugs, smuggling and such, was “an anomaly”. The article, from the New York Times, concluded:

“There is an ongoing relationship that happens even in the midst of an immigration meltdown,” Ms. Napolitano said. “I think it’s reflective of the fact borders don’t need to be — how do I say this? — that there are challenges but also opportunities.”

The word Ms. Napolitano was at a lack for in reference to Mexico was “open” – a word she would have been wise to apply to our neighbor to the north, where American’s benefit from the legal trade between two nations.

By way of explanation to our Canadian friends, Ms. Napolitano’s experience has been confined to a previously under populated State on the U.S. Mexican border, she arrived at her current position in the capacity of “crony”, meaning that she was given the post due to an established relationship with either Obama and or the DNC (most likely for championing Open Borders, otherwise known as one of the DNC’s “Get out the Vote” drives.).

Take heart, Canada, only 34% of American’s, according to Rasmussen polls, now “strongly approve” of the President’s job performance and 3 years will go by like a blink of an eye – rest assured, as American’s did when they found Carter to be a complete boob, a sensible Citizen of the United States will, once again, be called upon to repair the damage done under yet another clueless administration. Therefore, when a United States Citizen is in your country visiting, please take a moment and give them your sympathy. We will spend the next 3 years constantly worried about our own safety, while battling a severe recession, being taxed to the limit, and apologizing for the constant blunders of our government.
