A Message From the Arizona Tourism Bureau

Share Comment

Well, that's not quite right. This isn't really a message from the Arizona tourism bureau. But if no one else is going to stand up for Arizona, I sure will.

Not only am I not participating in the boycott of the state over its common-sense stand on the illegal-alien invasion, I am actively promoting tourism there. I find myself looking for a reason to visit the fair state — support it, praise the people of Arizona for standing up and acting courageously, doing something that will not only benefit Arizonans but all Americans as well.

We should all have such state leadership in this country. What exactly is it that has Barack Obama and his minions in such an uproar? They say it isn't "fair" to ask people on the street for identification because of suspicion they might be illegal aliens.

Ironically, the same people who make this claim have no problem promoting national ID cards for all Americans. They have no problem with intrusive census questions for all Americans. They have no problem with invasive tax returns. They have no problem with requiring ID checks at the White House and the U.S. Congress. They have no problem with ID checks just to get in the door of virtually every government building in Washington, D.C. They don't even have a problem with profiling Americans, as long as the profiling is of military veterans, churchgoers, patriots, opponents of abortion and tea party activists.

The idea that it might not be "fair" to ask the majority of law-abiding American taxpayers to foot the bill for the education and medical care of countless numbers of invaders never occurs to Obama and the boycotters.

The idea that it might not be "fair" to ask the majority of law-abiding American taxpayers to accept in the name of tolerance graffiti-strewn streets, drug chaos and rising crime directly attributable to illegal-alien gangs never occurs to Obama and the boycotters.

The idea that it might not be "fair" to ask the majority of law-abiding American taxpayers to be happy about surplus workers in their communities taking the jobs of Americans at less than the legal minimum wage never occurs to Obama and the boycotters.

The idea that it might not be "fair" for Arizona to pay policemen to do a job that would be unnecessary if the federal government simply enforced its own laws never occurs to Obama and the boycotters.

The idea that it might not be "fair" to actively displace 10 percent of a neighboring country's population for no good reason other than to empower an exploitative political clique in this country never occurs to Obama and the boycotters.

The idea that it might not be "fair" to Americans expecting their national government to protect them from internal and external threats to ignore 25 million people inside the country illegally and to welcome more every day never occurs to Obama and the boycotters.

Instead, Obama and the boycotters talk about a legal government action by the sovereign state of Arizona as an affront to human rights, as shades of Nazi Germany, and yes, even as a danger to the Constitution.

Well, let me tell you about the Constitution.

Here's what it says in Article IV, Section 4:

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence."

Have Obama and the boycotters lived up to that promise?

Arizona Immigration Law Paradox
There is a deepening crisis over illegal Hispanic immigration. The passage in Arizona of an unconstitutional state law purporting to address the problem of illegal immigration only serves the oligarchy by further weakening the protections of the Fourth Amendment for all Arizonans. This Orwellian law reflects a phase shift in the Anglo/Hispanic relationship across the American Southwest.
The passage of this law highlights a growing impatience and a vague unfocused desperation on the part of Arizonans with respect to the issue of illegal immigration. The identification of a scapegoat serves the oligarchical purpose of distracting the hoi polloi while their pockets continue to be picked clean.
The target of the Arizona law are Hispanics in general. American freedom has historically been threatened since 1846 and rights taken away by laws and operations first targeting Mexican Americans. An example is the circa 1937 prohibition of previously legal cannabis plants and products. At the time it was almost exclusively Mexican Americans who knew about and used marijuana.
The immigration crisis is, moreover, occurring in the context of an accelerating worldwide financial/economic/social collapse. The broader work of the Patriotic Movement is to force the light side of the ruling trans-Atlantic Judeo-Anglo-Saxon oligarchy and their stateside agents to cooperate with the American people in bringing the dark side down.
If it can be done peacefully from the ground up and ruthlessly from the top down then the great work converges at the center of a new power pyramid replacing the old putrid one.
The LaRouche Movement is directed to 1) end its insane war of words against the sale and consumption of recreational and medicinal herbs, 2) stop its shameless condescension toward Hispanics and 3) wage a patriotic war of words against the sacrilegious ideology of zionism.
From the ground up:
1) A seven-year moratorium on all immigration retroactive to October 12, 2009.
2) Limited immigration after October 12, 2016 employing quotas that reflect the ethno-racial demographic profile of the United States on April 1, 2010 as reflected in the United States 2010 and 2020 Censuses.
3) Ethno-cultural sovereignty for recognized ethno-racial groups including the majority European-American group.
4) Anglo/Hispanic linguo-cultural parity.
5) Recognition of Columbus Day, October 12th, as Discovery Day, a day of national celebration and historical remembrance.
6) Nationalization of the bankrupt Federal Reserve System.
7) Closing down of bankrupt Wall Street banks and financial institutions.
8) New currency based on the sovereign credit of the united States of America.
9) Broad-based physical and social infrastructure rebuilding programs.
10) Impeachment of President Barack Obama unless he acts immediately (before June 30, 2010) to implement the above nine points.

The only paradox in this anti-immigration law in Arizona is in the minds of the conflicted! I agree with you, Joe. I was refreshed to see someone actually mention the "fairness" of it all and have a decent perspective. This law is not liberal nor conservative, it's about being a legal American! Where is the paradox or un-fairness of that?

According to some bloggers who support the Arizona law it is almost a word for word copy of a federal law which is not being enforced. The Arizona law will in practice require that all Arizonans and that all others visiting Arizona or travelling through Arizona carry citizenship papers with them at all times. Passing a state fascist law is not the solution to the immigration problem. Americans need more freedom not less. The federal courts will no doubt sooner or later address the constitutionality of the law. In the meantime I advocate a compromise before the country is torn apart by the language issue, or more fundamentally, by the ethno-racial issue. Basically what I propose is an exchange: first-class citizenship for Hispanics in return for limited immigration following a seven-year moratorium on all immigration. For mixed-race Americans linguo-cultural parity means first-class citizenship. Mixed-race Hispanics (Latinos) just like mixed-race Anglos (Whites) generally claim no ethnic heritage. The broader issue is first-class citizenship for European Americans who do claim an ethnic heritage including Spanish Americans who are now and have been under a cruel ethnicidal dynamic since 1846. European Americans have been under an assimilationist Melting Pot ideology, a milder form of ethnicide, that took root sometime in the 19th-century but more explicitly and more egregiously since the Political Correctness ideology took root circa 1965 not so coincidentally at the same time that the immigration explosion began. The solution to the broader European-American problem is ethno-cultural sovereignty for all ethno-racial groups.

What we have here is the descendants of the people who invaded this land 500 years ago complaining about the descendants of the people who were here already. You don't like it? Then leave. Face it, starting this decade, white births are going to be in the minority, and in less than 40 years the white population is going to be a minority.
Get used to it.

I would be very leary of visiting any restaurants or fast food places in Arizona where Illegals are working If I am WHITE! Just think of what they might do to your food? Has anyone thought that? May seem silly but it is a very easy way to seek "revenge" on white folks and possibly spread disease.

I don't know if this idea will work, I have never seen any discussion about the following.
Why don't you,(we) start a CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST OBAMA, PELOSI, REED AND ALL OBAMAS LIBERAL GANG.
Probably two thirds of America will goin in the suit.

I would love to see this idea discussed.
