Obama refuses to secure border, sues states for trying to protect themselves

On Monday, the Obama administration filed a lawsuit against the state of Alabama over their new law against illegal immigration, set to take effect in September.
The law makes it a crime for an illegal alien to be present in the state of Alabama and gives state and local law enforcement the authority to investigate a detainee’s immigration status as well as requiring businesses within the state to use the E-verify system for potential employees.
The measure also makes it a felony for an illegal alien to register to vote, and requires school districts to verify the immigration status of students at the time of their enrollment.
Republican state Rep. Micky Hammon, who sponsored the law, responded by saying: “The Obama administration and the federal bureaucrats have turned a blind eye toward the immigration issue and refuse to fulfill their constitutional duty to enforce laws already on the books. Now, they want to block our efforts to secure Alabama's borders and prevent our jobs and taxpayer dollars from disappearing into the abyss that illegal immigration causes.”
He continued: “Allowing hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants to run unchecked under the radar threatens our homeland security and insults those who come here legally.”

Of course, the Obama administration also filed suit against the state of Arizona after Gov. Jan Brewer signed SB1070 into law. Though, SB1070 is simply a mirror image of federal immigration law, the Justice Department claims that it somehow “interferes” with it.
While Obama refuses to actually secure our border with Mexico or enforce existing immigration laws in any meaningful way, he will expend scant taxpayer resources trying to block individual states from protecting themselves from the crime, job losses and financial burdens associated with the massive numbers of illegal aliens currently in this country.
What Obama does not understand is the fact that just as this nation does not belong to the millions of illegal aliens now inside our borders, neither does it belong to him. It does, however, belong to the people like the good folks of Alabama and Arizona who are fed up with foreign criminals being allowed to freely enter their states without fear of action from the feds.
Americans have a right to be safe from foreign invaders…Of course, Obama does not seem to understand this either.
