Cops, Cops Everywhere: Cinco De Mayo Profiling

While the mainstream news media and politicians continue to "politicize" the recent old "new" law in Arizona written mostly by the civil rights lawyers in that state clearly for their own "stimulus" with respect to the rather broad and open-ended language contained in it and using the race card inappropriately to racket up the temperatures of the citizenry for both of the mainstream political parties benefit, as a former long term Arizonan I had an interesting experience this past month upon returning to that state for a brief 48 hour turnaround trip for a family member's graduation.

I, of course, left the state fairly quickly as one of those affected by the border situation, and costs of ownership of my home which necessitated relinquishing my ownership "nonrights," when a plea went out to those attending to support an added sales tax increase in order to purportedly fund the universities and schools, when Arizona's schools are funded through property taxes, and as a divorced single mother, both my ex-spouse and I had paid those taxes through the nose while our children were growing up there while watching property and insurance rates also skyrocket.

But while traveling through the State of New Mexico along the interstate highway to Arizona it seems the State of New Mexico has its own version of "profiling," both racially and otherwise.

There were at least a dozen of those expensive electronic highway safety signs that were flashing the message, "Cops, Cops Everywhere...May Cinco de Mayo DUI Blitz," or words similar to that effect.

While the Obama Administration has also been using Arizona's new law for its agendas in pursuing another Reagan era amnesty for the estimated over 12 million illegal immigrants in this country at the present time - once again, without any real permanent fencing or border security per the 2006 Fence Act - his National Highway Safety Council apparently is doing its own "racial" profiling regarding the timing of these DUI stings and in some states even, road blocks.

At these road blocks citizens at random are presumed to be possibly under the influence during select holiday weekends, since most of these sting operations are occurring during the spring breaks or other holidays.

Conveniently, May happens to be the month when both Cinco De Mayo is celebrated throughout the country at this point (a Mexican holiday, not U.S.) and graduation celebrations are in full swing.

These "saturation patrols" are compromised mostly of off-duty police officers for added pay under federal grant monies given to the states for such purposes so that they will tow the line in federal mandates in this respect under threat of removal of federal (and state) highway funding - one of their true Constitutional duties, of course rather than handing out monies for the next Woodstock Museum, or bridge to nowhere - mainly at the behest of that now temperance organization, MADD, and the global and national bankers, once again, and insurance industry.

The cities and states, of course, love those laws since the fees and fines now are so high they can also receive double revenue for those minor offenses (civil matters if not involving property loss or injury to another).

Many of the states have quietly sold some of their jail facilities to private entities, of course, leasing them back at higher costs to the public or turned to such facilities as "tent city" in Arizona in order to gain even more revenue, since those states then also receive added revenue by the head for those who are arrested and cannot now make their bonds due to the amount of those fines and fees even for first time offenses, many of whom are then serving jail time before they are even arraigned or have entered their pleas.

I wonder if this, too, could be classified as "racial" profiling?

Or simply governmentally facilitated "terrorism," on the public.

It seems Granddaddy does seem to speak out of both sides of its mouth when push comes to shove, and wonder whether such barricades and "checkpoints" that are used now for insurance and DUI "searches and seizures," will also become the norm?

"Let me see your papers," also includes those mandatory insurance barricades and checkpoints in some of those states that are also now conducted "in the interest of public safety" outside Arizona after Big Daddy spoke back in the 1970's using the same tactics for those nationwide laws for mandated citizen control also at the behest of mainly the insurance industry using again removal of highway funding, didn't they?

How come Saturday Night Live hasn't done a skit on THAT?

As a former Arizonan who has seen it all and watched this situation progress for the past forty years, I am opposed to the law in its present form for many reasons, but primarily because without the needed border fencing and security, it simply is addressing the symptoms and not the cause at all.

We are looking at serial amnesties here for political purposes at the cost, once again, of the natural and naturalized Americans progressively since any such attempt by Congress would be the second in two decades. Generational amnesties.

If it is the federal government's intent to simply turn the West and Southwest back over to Mexico and Canada, too, since so many Canadian snowbirds also live in those Sunbelt states more than six months out of the year or own second homes there, maybe there is a great deal in that NAFTA free trade agreement with those two countries that those Americans living in the West and Southwest and Sunbelt states simply haven't been told.

Especially since foreigners now are progressively gaining Bill of Rights protections under a Constitution that is now more protective of foreigner's rights, than Americans.

Like hasta la vista, baby.

They now have been given squatters rights as the new international states of Canifornico, Mexicanzona, Nuevo Mexico, and Texico.

Southwestern Border Remains Open While Political Games Continue

An article was published in the AP today regarding the Southwestern border situation, and actions being considered by my former home state in order to appear to be doing something, it seems, once again due to the recent death of an Arizona rancher on his own property several weeks ago purported committed by an illegal crosser.

Of course, it is interesting once again to me as one who is more than familiar with all the rhetoric that it is an election year, and several key seats are up for grabs in Arizona, including the Governorship, a viable challenge to the long held seat of John McCain and several others.

Although the body counts in the border states, and homelessness continues to climb, it took this highly publicized recent death of a Douglas rancher to once again bring this issue to the forefront, although appears the same old, same old is being used in order to quiet the masses who have been victimized in that state repeatedly due to those open borders, both personally or one of their family members, in the drug trafficking and property theft rates which have exploded since the 1960's in that state.

Most of all due to federal negligence to actually do their jobs and get those southern borders secured, especially now nine long years since 9/11 and with the "War on Terrorism" continuing under Obama.

The Democrats and Republicans are playing the shell game, and of course the immigrant favoring groups headed mostly by the civil rights lawyers who are cleaning up on lawsuits involving also the state measures which have been thrown out by the liberal 9th Circuit, which progressively has also lead to a great many Arizonans bankruptcies and loss of jobs, which is escalating by the year.

Arizona is one of the highest bankruptcy states in the nation.

The Catholic Church in the Tucson diocese even got into the act, although I guess what is missed by the Church is the fact that the Pope himself has an actual fortress surrounding his country, a country bordered by Italy, which is, after all, primarily populated by his own Church members.

It was mentioned that Janet Brewer, the current governor, is calling out the National Guard as Janet Napolitano did when she was Governor, before of course hiking her pay grade with her federal position, and is one who has halted funded for the proposed border fencing and security now so that a "cost/benefit" ratio and study can be done.

While more and more of her former constituents die, apparently.

These illegals have also continued to be tried in the state and county courts in Arizona, and there have been ongoing also political backbiting and fights due to the fact that the county judges have been releasing a great many of them back into the public, and not enforcing some of the laws which the legislature has passed addressing this situation.

Although it appears the lawyers for those county and state officials must be omitting informing them of the fact that foreigners under the true "law," the U.S. Constitution, should be tried for whatever reason in the federal courts, not state courts, so these judges are simply doing their jobs, although it would appear also not directing upon those arraignments the Sheriff's office forthwith turn them over to the U.S. Marshall's office, the correct procedure and jurisdiction, for trial if such arrests involve felony or criminal actions.

With misdemeanors, the former procedure when I was growing up there, before the criminal and immigration lawyers lobbied for trials for nonAmericans prior to deportations, was that if found upon a routine stop to be in the country illegally without a sponsor or family member or U.S. citizen to vouch for them, or overstaying their visas, they were turned over to the Marshall's office, and inexpensively bused back to the border after arranging for their rides upon dropoff, each and every Saturday.

Which cost a whole lot less than affording state and country trials or deportation hearings, and was a punishment that actually fit the crime. Soon those illegal crossers tired of being returned, or embarassed to have to call for their rides the same people repeatedly.

Why San Diego and El Paso were afforded security for their citizens, and Arizonans are not, I will never know.

But the solution is there, although due to the housing boom and also the huge growth Arizona has had in the last three decades, it would seem to me that if it is a "cash strapped" state as presented by the politicians and media, it is only due to the fact that the politicians and the corporate special interests are continuing to indulge in their insatiable needs for revenue for extra-Constitutional functions and the limit to their greed and expenditures for discretionary palm greasing knows no bounds.

Since all the State of Arizona has to do in order to get those National Guard troops, or better still, get that border fencing done under the Secure Fence Act while Congress is appropriating sums in foreign aid to countries in better financial position now than this one is, and securing Iraq's borders while leaving our own unsecured, is to sue the federal government in federal court under the Constitution for breach of contract.

Instead of making it a campaign issue, and continuing the political grandstanding on the part of both of those negligent mainstream political parties and politicians - both past and present.
