"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men
from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

Hillary Clinton's Department of State Submits Report to UN Human Rights Commissioner Mentioning Arizona Law

UPDATE:  Click here for copy of Governor Brewer's letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
____________

Cannot fathom the anger that Governor Jan Brewer of Arizona, Senator McCain, and the Legislature along with Arizona residents are feeling right now toward Obama, Hillary, and the State Department. To mention one of our States in a report to the United Nations on Human Rights is beyond despicable. This whole bunch of liberal, progressive Democrats have reached a new low.

"A recent Arizona law, S.B. 1070, has generated significant attention and debate at home and around the world," the report says. "The issue is being addressed in a court action that argues that the federal government has the authority to set and enforce immigration law. That action is ongoing; parts of the law are currently enjoined."
For those  who thought Hillary would make a better President than Obama, think again. She may turn out to be the worst Secretary of State to go along with Obama the worst President in modern times. She thinks nothing of signing our rights away to the UN or playing up to our enemies but then she did a good job of that as First Lady with Arafat's wife, Suha .   Following the terrorist speech of Suha Arafat where she accused Israel of poisoning Palestinians, Hillary gave her a hug and kiss.

It took Hillary Clinton a full 24 hours before she condemned parts of the speech. Who does she answer to now? Obama who also plays up to our enemies and disses our allies. Now we have this from the Hillary State Department talking about Arizona and human rights when the law specifically forbids racial profiling. Maybe if she took the time to read the law instead of wasting our tax dollars flying around the world, she would know what the Arizona Immigration Law says but then she might not be able to comprehend the meaning of 'prohibit' which is a wee bit longer the the word 'is' her husband used during his testimony on Monicagate.

It never stops with this group of wanna be dictators. Does Obama want the UN to decide so he can blame them. Hillary, being the 'world's smartest woman' according to her adoring media, missed the boat on this one as well as a lot of other items since becoming Secretary of State. Maybe the media needs to revise their 'world's smartest woman' mantra for Hillary.
Brewer condemns report to UN mentioning Ariz. law

By JONATHAN J. COOPER, Associated Press Writer Jonathan J. Cooper, Associated Press Writer – Fri Aug 27, 10:57 pm ET
PHOENIX – Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer demanded Friday that a reference to the state's controversial immigration law be removed from a State Department report to the United Nations' human rights commissioner.

The U.S. included its legal challenge to the law on a list of ways the federal government is protecting human rights.

In a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Brewer says it is "downright offensive" that a state law would be included in the report, which was drafted as part of a UN review of human rights in all member nations every four years.

"The idea of our own American government submitting the duly enacted laws of a state of the United States to 'review' by the United Nations is internationalism run amok and unconstitutional," Brewer wrote.

Arizona's law generally requires police officer enforcing other laws to investigate the immigration status of people they suspect are illegal immigrants.

Critics say it would lead officers to target Hispanics. Supporters, including Brewer, say the law prohibits racial profiling and other human rights abuses.

The U.S. Justice Department sued to block the measure, arguing federal law trumps the state's authority to enforce immigration laws.

A federal judge in July sided with the Justice Department and blocked enforcement of the law's most controversial provisions a day before it was scheduled to take effect.

Arizona Immigration Law WORKS -- Narcotics agentgs arrest suspected drug cartel member in OKC

Imagine the shock Oklahomans had when this story broke yesterday and today 'The Oklahoman' has more details. Another Mexican drug cartel was set up in Oklahoma infringing on the Mexican cartel that was already in Oklahoma. From the article, this 'suspected' drug cartel member came to Oklahoma AFTER Arizona passed their tough Immigration Bill which mirrored the laws the Federal Government is refusing to enforce.

We applaud Governor Brewer, the Arizona State Legislature, Senators McCain and Kyl, and House Member Rep Flake and others for supporting this immigration bill so vehemently in order to stop illegals from flowing into the Country bringing their drugs and gangs with them.

It is time for the Oklahoma Legislature to pass a more comprehensive and stringent Imigration Bill which mirrors Arizona. All Mexican drug cartel members need in jail or run out of Oklahoma for good. The remainder of the 49 states needs to pass the Arizona bill in their own state legislature to drive the drug runners and Mexican gangs back to Mexico where they belong. Oklahoma already has a stringent Immigration bill on the books but tougher legislation is needed after what we have seen since Arizona passed the bill.

Say NO to illegal immigration order to stop what they are doing to this Country by running drugs and breaking the laws that Attorney General Holder refuses to prosecute. Instead, Holder wants to sue Arizona along with the Mexican President to overturn the law. Holder needs impeached for failing to uphold the Rule of Law starting with the dismissal of charges against the New Black Panthers for voter intimidation caught on tape. Because they are black, they get a pass. Voter intimidation deserves jail time no matter what color of skin or nationality.

Narcotics agents arrest suspected drug cartel member in Oklahoma City

Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control agents said they arrested a suspected Mexican drug cartel leader during a raid Tuesday morning.

Agents arrested a suspected high-ranking Mexican Sinaloa Cartel member in Oklahoma City during a drug raid Tuesday, indicating the organization may be trying to move in on the territory of a rival group, an Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control official said.
Officers are shown outside a Mustang home Tuesday after making entry at dawn as part of a multiagency drug raid that targeted meth operations throughout the state. Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drug Control officers teamed with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and local law enforcement to execute 13 search warrants and 18 arrest warrants.

The man was described only as a 35-year-old Mexican national. Authorities also didn't release names of others apprehended in the raid, which netted two pounds of methamphetamine, one pound of cocaine and $20,000 in cash.

Bureau Executive Director Darrell Weaver said the man's arrest is the strongest evidence to date that Sinaloa Cartel is trying to move in on the Oklahoma territory of Juarez Cartel.

"This is a disturbing case,” said Weaver, whose agents helped serve 18 arrest warrants and 13 search warrants in an operation that stretched from Tulsa to Elk City. Warrants also were served in Mustang and Norman.

At least nine people ranging from users to suppliers were arrested. The names of those arrested during the sting operation were withheld because they were included in sealed warrants, bureau spokesman Mark Woodward said.

Weaver said he and his agents are alarmed that a second cartel is attempting to make serious inroads into this area.

Undercover agents became aware of their main suspect three months ago, after Arizona passed Senate Bill 1070 — the new immigration law that allows police to search anyone for valid documentation of citizenship.

"Our target received a dispatch from Mexico, and was told to leave Phoenix because of the new immigration law,” said an undercover case agent who asked that his name not be used. "He was told to set up shop in Oklahoma City. Fortunately, in a very short time, we learned of his presence and were able to infiltrate his operation.”

Agents discovered a lucrative operation, and according to the undercover agent, an "established market.” Undercover surveillance revealed that an average of 10 pounds of methamphetamine was being shipped into Oklahoma City a week, Weaver said. Ten pounds of methamphetamine can net $180,000 to $210,000 on the streets, depending on its purity.

The suspect tried to maintain a low profile by living in a gated apartment complex on the city's north side. But Weaver said his agents were able to track "hundreds of thousands of dollars in wire transfers” to Mexico, where the money was being used to buy land.

The narcotics bureau alleges the money was being laundered through a nondescript used car lot in Oklahoma City where people socialized more than they sold cars.

"Our target had a previous conviction for drug possession, and had already been deported once from Arizona,” the undercover agent said. "And still he was trusted to set up an operation in Oklahoma City where he personally moved money. How high up was he? He was one step removed from those on the border who make the orders.

"Now he says he can't cooperate because he has family. He knows he's finished.”
Cindy Cunningham, the agency's chief agent on electronic surveillance intelligence, said the suspect had orders to establish similar operations elsewhere, including Denver and Las Vegas.

Weaver described the case as one of the most troubling of his 23-year drug enforcement career. Agents think Juarez Cartel leaders have been preoccupied by infighting and violence on the border, leaving Oklahoma City open for opportunistic Sinaloa Cartel members.

"We were fortunate to infiltrate this organization within two months of the group setting up shop,” Weaver said. "I believe the Mexican drug cartels are the No. 1 threat to the safety of Oklahomans, and we must be vigilant in our pursuit of these individuals who want to rob everything good we want for our state while making themselves rich.

"This case shows the effects other states' policies can have on the safety of our state.”

Read for yourself: The full text of Arizona's controversial illegal immigrant law

There has been so much written about this Arizona illegal immigrant law that has made a person wonder if the people writing and commenting even read the bill. Attorney General Eric Holder who attacked the bill had to admit he hadn't read the bill. What kind of Attorney General is that to attack a bill without reading it first?

In looking for sources about this bill, we had missed this one earlier from the LA Times which includes the AZ bill text where you learn once again this bill has been overblown by the media, this Administration and Hispanic groups like La Raza as there will be no race profiling. We do not understand what is wrong with requiring someone to carry their papers with them at all times and never will.

Read for yourself: The full text of Arizona's controversial illegal immigrant law
May 7, 2010 6:06 am


You may have heard a little something recently about this ongoing emotional controversy all across the United States over a frustrated Arizona’s homegrown legislative answer to the problem of an unsecured federal border with Mexico, illegal immigrants flowing across and the numerous side effects of such social movements including crime.

As The Ticket wrote at the time of the bill's signing, the state and its Republican Gov. Jan Brewer are disappointed in the ongoing inadequate federal response.

Democrat President Obama criticized the state's move as "misguided." He said full-blown immigration reforms are necessary but not just now. So, both pros and cons are busily quoting whatever they can find online to support whatever they want to support and oppose, producing some positively ridiculous charges.

Meanwhile, a new poll here shows most Americans kind of like Arizona's legislative solution to federal inaction.

So today, as we often do here, The Ticket is publishing for the first time the entire Arizona illegal immigrant law. Why take someone else's version? Read the full text for yourself.

Yes, yes, this may expunge some of the fun of likening Arizona to Germany, the racial....

...profiling allegations and organizing boycotts of boycotters. We also have below the governor's ensuing executive order detailing how to implement the law and the follow-up House bill to adjust some provisions of the original Senate measure.

Her order strictly prohibits state and local officials from "solely considering race, color or national origin" while enforcing the law, which takes effect this summer,and detailing the law be "implemented in a manner consistent with federal laws regulating immigration, protecting the civil rights of all persons and respecting the privileges and immunities of United States citizens."

But it also might contribute to a more intelligent debate over the actual language of the model measure, instead of what who's-its said about whats-it. That would be a shock for America in 2010.
