Nevertheless, when it comes to Arizona Governor Jan Brewer’s stance on immigration enforcement I am fully behind her. The fact of the matter is that the federal government has ignored the issue of illegal immigration for decades. Regarding this problem, the feds speak with forked tongue. On one hand, they tell us that we are living under the constant threat of terrorism. Yet, on the other hand, they have done little to nothing to curb the tide of illegal immigrants. Is this a no brainer or what? The advocates for illegal immigrants fly the banners of unfairness, discrimination and human rights violations as their chief grievances. Come on! I could be wrong, but it would seem that a disproportionate number of those complaining might be related to the illegal immigrants, if they are not harboring them themselves. As for the accusations of unfairness... What is unfair about documenting when foreigners enter into our country? What is unfair about knowing where they are from, whether they are carrying any communicable diseases, whether they are transporting drugs or weapons? As far as discrimination goes… the only discrimination is that those who do not possess a passport should be turned away. Why should anybody have a problem with that? I guarantee that when Americans travel abroad they are required to have the appropriate visas or passports. And human rights violations? There is no human right for entering a sovereign nation illegally! Americans are being scanned at airports and at most federal, state and county buildings for security purposes. But… illegal aliens have the RIGHT to swarm over our borders undocumented, uninvestigated and unaccounted for? I don’t think so! So, what’s the problem? Why is this happening? The pervading reason that illegal immigrants are entering into the United States is for work. The largest employer of illegal immigrants is the agricultural sector where many of them perform jobs as field laborers. So… who do you think has an interest in keeping this cheap source of labor? If you guessed the agricultural sector, you are absolutely right! Now, these “farmers” are not poor folk with overalls and pitchforks. In this day and age, agriculture has become big, BIG, business. Orchards, vineyards and producing fields are owned not in small lots of an acre here and there… but by the hundreds and thousands. Are you following me? We’re talking about huge corporate landowners that make profits in the millions and billions. Now do you get the picture? So, we have illegal aliens taking millions of American jobs, much of the money of which they send back to their country of origin. We have cocaine, marijuana and arms being smuggled across the borders, we have a potential floodgate for terrorists and epidemics, and we have corporations that are profiting by it. So… what’s the problem? I think it is time for the Feds to come clean on the “sanctioned” illegal immigrant fiasco. Kudos to Governor Brewer and the State of Arizona for taking matters into their own hands. Article submitted Saturday, April 24, 2010 & read 207 times.

My uncle, who is also my God father and who raised me can't get visa to the U.S. because the US government is afraid he is going to stay here (he is not married and lives in the Eastern Europe). He's been trying to get visa for 3 years in a row and they keep denying him. I hate the bias. Someone was joking that he should come to Mexico and try to cross the border illegally. It seems to be easier this way. For this reason and for the reason you mentioned in your article - Kudos to Governor Brewer!

It is so typical of the hypocirsy of our government's policies. Thank you for your comments. Mark Respond to this comment » left by Anonymous (138 days 20 hours ago.) Mark, I also agree! I work in a travel clinic. We give travel immunizations and information about the country. Many, many countries warn that you must carry and show your passport if requested while traveling. This is nothing new. It is about time we buckle down and do something about the problem we have here. Thanks for a good article. Respond to this comment » left by Mark Parsec⁽³⁵¹⁾ (138 days 19 hours ago.) Hi Anonymous, You are in a position where you can see more clearly than most how inconsistent our immigration policies are. Thank you for your comments. Mark Respond to this comment » left by Christofer French (138 days 19 hours ago.) Mark: The battle is drawn. States vs. The Feds. You are going to see it more and more, issue to issue. Thanks for your clarion call. Respond to this comment » left by Siddhartha from Kolkata, India (138 days 18 hours ago.) Mark, I agree with you. This is a real crisis - the people, who enter a sovereign country illegally. You have passport, you have VISA, and different other rules. But it is hard to keep a strong vigil in the border zone. The problem takes a devastating form in border areas. In India, we are facing the same problem. And no Govt. rules have been able to control these stream of immigrants forget about giving it a complete halt. I do not know, if new laws help to sort out such issues, it could be a landmark discovery to curb problems with illegal immigrants. Thanks. Siddhartha Respond to this comment » left by Mark Parsec⁽³⁵¹⁾ (138 days 15 hours ago.) Hi Siddhartha, Thank you for your comments. It is good to see that people from other countries can identify with the problem we are facing in the U.S. I am inclined to think that with modern technology surveillance should be quite possible. I forsee a solution in the near future. Mark Respond to this comment » left by Jose Condemarin (138 days 9 hours ago.) Mark, I am a USA citizen for more than 1/2 of my life. But I am from Peru, as I read your article, I do remember this problem it been here for ever and not only the government is at fault. These Agricultural Corp. are the ones which support their senator, and these senator don't pay any attention to the immigrations problems which have been escalating to the point that they have lose control of the situation. One of my concern is that, I hope this new law are easier with those people that are innocent to this situation. And have been paying taxes like everyone else and they do have a change to stay in this wonderful country legally. Thank you Respond to this comment » left by John from Texas (138 days 9 hours ago.) What a shame that you would side with the bigots, Pastor Mark. This law means that every man, woman and child must carry proof of citizenship with them everywhere they go. Do you think little old ladies are going to carry around their birth certificates or passports? If they don't, they are subject to a fine and imprisonment. Their only defense: They don't "look" like an illegal immigrant. What does an illegal immigrant look like after all? Want to take a family of poor people to church with you on Sunday? You could be charged with a crime if any are found to be in the country illegally. Tsk, tsk. I can't imagine a Christian coming out in support of such flagrant discrimination, much less someone who calls himself a pastor. Respond to this comment » left by Mark Parsec (137 days 16 hours ago.) John, I'm sorry that you feel compelled to slander my position as a pastor and accuse me of being a bigot. This is not about discrimination against any individual because of their ethnicity, nationality, age or income. If someone were to attend my church because they are illegal immigrants and they are arrested for not being in compliance with the law... that is their problem. Just the same if I were to break the law. Illegal is illegal. So what are our options? To let anyone anywhere just come into our country? Sure... they can take American dollars, which they don't have to pay taxes on, and bring it with them back to their country of origin... they can get on welfare and foodstamps, for which they don't have to pay taxes, they can overload our emergency rooms and schoolrooms all at taxpayers expense. I'm sorry if my viewpoint offends your perception of what you think Christianity is all about. But, if people want to benefit from the laws of our land then they need to be citizens of our land.

Mark, You better pray that some day you don't get to those pearly gates and are told, "a sinner is a sinner, now go to Hell" because we both know that the measure we use for others is the measure we that will be used for us. Respond to this comment » left by Mark Parsec⁽³⁵¹⁾ (131 days 18 hours ago.) John, You are so right! In fact, feeling as strongly as you do about this issue, I cannot help but wonder what you are doing as a Christian to address the problem. Have YOU started a fund to help ILLEGAL immigrants to jump through the hoops required to enter this country legally? Mark Respond to this comment » left by Carol Allen Anfinsen⁽¹²⁾ (135 days 12 hours ago.) Bravo for writing this article, Mark! It is about time that we put a stop to this scurge. We love Hispanic people, that's not the point! Citizenship is not a right to anyone who steals across our border to take advantage of our system. Citizenship is a privilege, fought and paid for by American citizens' sweat, blood and tears! It is not discrimination to stop someone and ask to see ID. If this is profiling, then why is it that a majority of illegals are Hispanic? Kudos, Mark. And amen, and amen! Respond to this comment » left by Mark Parsec⁽³⁵¹⁾ (131 days 18 hours ago.) Hi Carol, Sorry it has taken me so long to comment back to you on this. My wife and I just got back from vacation. Thank you for supporting me on this article. It saddens me that some people would question my faith as a result of this controversial issue. Thanks again! God bless you, Mark Respond to this comment » left by Marijo Phelps from mountain meadow (133 days 17 hours ago.) I have heard that this is just reiterating laws already on the books which the federal government is not enforcing - in spite of all the name calling and smearing of those who disagree with this legal approach. thanks for taking a stand and writing this! Respond to this comment » left by Mark Parsec⁽³⁵¹⁾ (131 days 18 hours ago.) Hi Marijo, You are absolutely right. The Arizona law is a reiteration of federal laws that are not being enforced. There are now over 450,000 illegal immigrants in Arizona alone. Imagine the drain on the state budget during these hard times. Thank you for your comments.
