Time and time again I read articles just like this one. A city decides to get serious about their illegal immigrant problems.
And then what happens? The liberals come to their defense and forbid anything being done that would work to rid their cities of the same. tsk tsk tsk
And they SAY they are working to keep out illegals....and once again we see they continue to LIE. They protect them. They've set up 'safe havens' in some cities even.
Watch how they vote....don't listen to their words....they aren't the same. Look to the judges who allow the breaking of our federal LAWS. Look to these civil liberty groups who also continue working to allow them to break our laws.
That's the left for you. Wake up time, America. They AREN'T working to deal with our illegal problems AT ALL....but rather just the opposite.

Court throws out city's illegal immigration law
Thu Jul 26, 2007 2:46PM EDT
By Jon Hurdle
HAZLETON, Pa (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Thursday struck down as unconstitutional a local law designed to crack down on illegal immigration, dealing a blow to similar laws passed by dozens of towns and cities across the country.
U.S. District Judge James Munley said the city of Hazleton, 100 miles north of Philadelphia, was not allowed to implement a law that would fine businesses that hire illegal immigrants and penalize landlords who rent rooms to them.
"Federal law prohibits Hazleton from enforcing any of the provisions of its ordinances," Munley wrote in a 206-page opinion following a federal trial in which Hazleton's law was challenged by civil rights groups.
The city of 30,000 blames a recent rise in illegal immigration for boosting crime and overburdening social services. The law was passed in July 2006 but was not implemented because of a court injunction won by opponents.
About a third of the city's residents are immigrants from Central America and around a quarter of the immigrant population is believed to be undocumented, according to civil rights campaigners.
Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta said the city would likely appeal the decision.
"I believe both sides realized this wasn't going to be the last day. This small city isn't ready to stop fighting yet," Barletta told CNN.
Dozens of towns and cities have modeled their own immigration laws on Hazleton in a bid to deal with an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants living in the United States.

Sheriff urged to close immigrant hotline
Thu Jul 26, 9:04 AM ET
Yahoo news
Latino leaders and faith-based organizations want Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio to disconnect the hotline he created for people to report information about undocumented immigrants, saying it raises the chance of racial profiling.
But Arpaio said Wednesday that he won't disconnect the hotline and stressed that deputies would investigate people only if authorities had probable cause.
The hotline began last Friday and has received about 300 messages, which include tips about family and friends, employment, day laborers, drop houses and crank calls.
Arpaio said officials are analyzing the tips and officials have not acted on any of the calls.
"There's nothing unconstitutional about putting up a hotline," Arpaio said, pointing out that U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement have similar hotlines.
The hotline is part of an expanded immigration enforcement plan Arpaio unveiled last week that also includes sheriff's deputies cross-trained to enforce immigration law.
Some Latino advocacy groups will launch a hotline of their own to take tips from people who believe they've been unfairly reported to Arpaio's hotline, said activist Mary Rose Wilcox, a Maricopa County supervisor.
Meanwhile, some faith-based organizations are circulating a letter among church leaders and members that decries Arpaio's hotline.

The hotline number is 602-876-4154.

Update....and on the Hazelton issue...
and guess who supports that anti-Constitutional ruling? OBAMA. HE supports the decision.
Supports ILLEGALS by not allowing anything to be done to penalize those who harbor them...or give them jobs....ILLEGALLY.
So....in essense....obama believes in breaking OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS.
tsk tsk tsk
But again.....that's a TRUE liberal for you.

Goes to show you that Linda doesn't care whether we have laws that are actually constitutional in this country, just as long as they are on the books and enforced.
Maybe the whining baby wants to explain how a judge declaring a law unconstitutional is protecting immigrants.
Absolute faith has been shown, consistently, to breed intolerance. And intolerance, history teaches us, again and again, begets violence.

If the answers you get do not suit you, or if they frighten you, or if they anger you, it is your duty as a patriot to dissent. Freedom does not begin with blind acceptance and with a flag. Freedom begins when you say 'No.'
