Enforcing Laws Works!

Postby paleocon on 05/16/08, 10:19 am

I don't usually post entire articles but this one is worth reading.  Arizona started enforcing laws against illegal immigrants and, get ready for this, THINGS GOT BETTER IN ARIZONA!  

See this one paragraph:  

Arizona’s illegal immigrants are fleeing to sanctuary cities like San Francisco and states with less enforcement and laws prohibiting illegal immigration like Nebraska, Iowa, and Maryland. Since one out of every 10 illegal immigrants is a felon, the result is felons are disproportionately moving to these places.


The article previously mentions these facts:

Since Arizona’s local law enforcement began enforcing illegal immigration laws and an employer sanctions law went into effect, illegal immigrants have been fleeing the state in large numbers. The effects have been far-ranging. Commuters are reporting fewer vehicles on the freeways, shortening their rush-hour commutes. What had become a serious transportation problem in Arizona is losing its urgency. English Learner Language (ELL) students started dropping out of school. This helped end a confrontation between the state legislature and a liberal federal judge who had ordered the state to spend more money on ELL classes.

Fewer illegal immigrants are using hospital emergency rooms, so waiting times have decreased. Although the rest of the country is in an economic slump, unemployment is going down in Arizona, from 4.5% in January to 4.1% in March. Day laborers loitering outside of Home Depot and other stores have mostly disappeared, ending months of confrontation between illegal immigrant sympathizers and protesters. Desert lands near the border are returning to their pristine condition and the wildlife is coming back. Identity theft and car thefts are decreasing. No one showed up on May 1 to march in immigrant rallies.

This is a truly novel concept. Aggressively enforce the law and illegal behavior decreases. Why didn't someone think of this before.
Seriously, I'm surprised it has taken this long for Sheriff Joe to step up enforcement.

Maybe we should all write-in Sherriff Joe Arpaio (sp?) for President.

I live in Phoenix. While there has been some movement, don't get too excited. We still have a dem for a mayor and governor, so they will find a way to reverse this. AND they are working on it. The mayor is trying to make Phoenix a sanctuary city and we, the people, are trying to get him thrown out of office!

Well, keep up the good work. Progress is progress so don't knock it. But, this battle never stops. The moment we quit pushing for conservative government we get Bush, Clinton, Bush, and who knows what next!

This is just a bit off topic, but Sheriff Joe and Bill Cosby would make a dream ticket.Image  They both speak the truth as it needs to be spoken.  
Joe is certainly living proof that enforcing the law, and not coddling offenders is a huge step in the right direction.

Well, that would present an interesting ticket.  Do you know that Wright and Cosby attended the same, rather presitigious, if not elite, Central High School in Philly?  Cosby was there earlier as he is a bit older.  

If nothing else the election cycle would be interesting.

Read an interesting article on Cosby v. Wright here.
