Arizona is right to defend against foreign invasion - ALAN KEYES
WorldNetDaily ^ | April 30, 2010 | Alan Keyes

*snip*

As a case in point, consider the reaction of the supposedly competing major parties to Arizona's effort to respect and cooperate with federal laws against illegal immigration. The Obama faction deploys its now commonplace arsenal of race-baiting verbal terrorism, along with menaces of U.S. government action against any state that dares to heed and obey federal laws they mean to disobey and defy. At the same time, well-known or rising GOP figures join in the irrational and unwarranted chorus of criticism.

*snip*

In this respect, the influx of illegal immigrants is in the nature of an actual foreign invasion. Even when it comes to engaging in war, the Constitution forbids the states to act without federal authorization "unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay" (Article I, Section 10). Surely, if the a state may, without federal authorization, go to war to protect its citizens from the imminent danger arising from foreign invasion of one type, it may, authorized by the letter and spirit of existing federal law, act to protect its citizens from the actual damage being inflicted upon them by an ongoing foreign invasion of another type.

*snip*

Arizona's recent initiative to curtail the damaging effects of illegal immigration is precisely the exercise of a state's residual sovereignty the U.S. Constitution provides for to protect the persons, property and sovereignty of the American people. It's important as well to keep in mind a thought that some states are already acting upon as they respond to the unlawful mandates contained in the Obama faction's health-takeover legislation. What the Constitution allows to remedy destructive dereliction in the use of federal powers it also leaves standing as a bulwark against their abuse.

Both parties appear to be dominated at that national level by elitist forces aiming to replace the sovereignty of the American people with an oligarchic form of government that uses the outward appearance of election by the people to legitimize outcomes predetermined by a coalition of elites. These elite forces are deceptively diverse in outward appearance, but they are actually united in their contemptuous distaste for (and impatience with) democratic republican liberty.

Good to see someone gets it! Thank you Dr. Keyes!

Good stuff!

A good exposition of the solid constitutional basis for the AZ law.

Hold all calls, please, no more calls -- we have a winner.

Seems like Keyes and David Horowitz, coming from two very different places, have come to the same conclusion: "It all comes together at the top" -- Horowitz.

No wonder RiNO's stink like Donks.

I have a friend call black tea partiers, "sell outs". He should examine Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson for a real example of "sell out".

Mexican immigrants are pushing blacks into 3rd class minority status, taking away jobs, and they are the most anti-black racists I have ever met. Over 90% of Latinos I know have a very negative opinion of blacks. I would say 10 to 20% of whites 2 years ago have that feeling, but it has grown under Mr. Unite to more that 50%. It isn't helping that 95% of blacks swear allegiance to Obama over our nation.

Back to the point. Jesse and Al sold blacks out in favor of DNC power and money. Mexican migration can only hurt lower class blacks, but Jesse and Al don't care.

You nailed it. They hurt legal Mexican immigrants and they don't care.

I refuse to listen to the term "illegal aliens" much less "undocumented workers." They are invaders, pure and simple.
