Have the people of Arizona had enough? Grumblings in the state's capital seem to think so.
After the fed had completely abandoned any serious efforts to secure the southwestern border, Arizona passed a law which largely enforced laws on the books.
But the oppressive Obama Regime, who wants to legalize millions of illegals to secure votes, is now suing Arizona's new law.
“The Justice Department is overstepping its bounds,” says a source in the Arizona government. “They have no right to overturn a law enacted by a State and overwhelmingly supported by its citizens. But we know this administration cares little for Constitutional law.”
While sycophants of Obama were claiming the border was more secure than ever, gun battles were breaking out just across the border in Mexico.
“Arizona citizens fear for their lives. The unsecure border is letting drugs, gangs and all sorts of violent criminals. This is about national defense and Obama and Congress have abandoned Arizona.”
“Regardless of the outcome of the suit, we may ignore Obama and do what we have to do to defend our state. If that means leaving the federal regime that abandoned us, then we will.”
Maybe they could withhold for a fund to cover damages.
