Will Naplolitano Prove Arizona Doubters Correct? (THE ANTI-ENFORCER?)


By Roy Beck, Friday, February 27, 2009, 11:10 AM

PHOENIX -- A group of Arizona business and civic leaders told me last night that the strange behavior of our nation's chief security leader this week is just what they expected. They say that Janet Napolitano was a skilled master at getting media to make her look like a believer in the rule of law but that when it came to immigration she was almost always "The Anti-Enforcer."

This has been a most troubling week. Napolitano is sworn to ensure that our nation's immigration laws are followed and that those who violate them are punished. That is one of the big parts of her jobs as head of the federal Department of Homeland Security.

On the other hand, Pres. Obama had promised during the campaign last year that he would do his best to see that some laws are not enforced.

Earlier this week, we were heartened to see what appeared to be the first ICE raid on an outlaw corporation since Pres. Obama took office. We put up faxes for people to thank Obama and Napolitano.

But then Napolitano went before Congress and basically apologized for the fact that law enforcement had occurred under her watch and pledged an investigation.

This sounds like we are right back to the early Bush years.

I said all last year that an Obama Administration on immigration would probably amount to a third Bush term.

During the first 6.5 years of the Bush reign, NumbersUSA received regular reports from Border Patrol and immigration agents that Washington actually punished employees who aggressively enforced immigration laws. It was clear that the tacit agreement within the Bush Administration was to make sure a certain level of illegal labor was available to the outlaw corporate community.

But for the last 1.5 years of Bush's reign, the enforcement people were actually allowed to do their job, and we began to see outlaw employers and illegal workers begin to change their behavior because of fear of getting caught and punished.

Napolitano's behavior this week looks like we are going back to the bad old Bush days.

I asked my audience last night if I could possibly be wrong. Perhaps, Napolitano is just being cautious.

No way, said my audience of people who obviously have deep and long-term antipathy toward their until-recently governor here in Arizona.

They claim that throughout Napolitano's term in Arizona she approved immigration enforcement only when she absolutely was forced to do it, and did all she could to undermine the effectiveness when she did.

On the other hand, they said, perhaps the weight of being in charge of the security of all Americans may cause her to treat the law with more respect than she traditionally has done.

But Napolitano's behavior this week has encouraged a rising mob of people and institutions calling for an end to the rule of law in terms of immigration.

Congressman Gutierrez of Chicago is on a national tour, holding rallies in churches calling for the end of most immigration enforcement.

Congressman Dicks of Washington State has called on Napolitano to begin an investigation of what he considers too aggressive immigration enforcement in his state.

The ACLU is running ads on buses giving advice to illegal aliens to help them avoid being caught and detained.

Major religious leaders across the country are calling for forms of civil disobedience to challenge what they consider to be the immorality of enforcing immigration laws.

And this comes immediately after House Speaker Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Reid and the White House insisted on keeping Stimulus jobs available for illegal foreign workers and to protect the businesses that hire them.

I hope my Arizona audience last night is wrong about Napolitano.

I hope I am wrong in my deep sense of foreboding.

Re: Will Naplolitano Prove Arizona Doubters Correct? (THE ANTI-E
Another SAD day for Americans when Napolitano was sent to Washington. She never did anything to support protecting our borders, only pushed (quietly) for illegal immigrants, and for the North American Union. She was very bad news for Arizonans and now for the whole country. Nappy and the govenor of CA both have met with the president of Mexico to "work" out illegal immigration and the NAU. Yeah work it out!!!!!! to benefit them... not those of us that PAY their wages and have to live with their decisions/consequences. Sad sad day for America.

Re: Roy, Are there ANY
While I am in full agreement with Numbers' cause, as well as all of those that have posted, I'm personally starting to feel that it may already be too late to reverse our current course. Just a cursory look at the current situation:

Only a handful of what we consider to be "sane/common sense" members of Congress continue to push "sane/common sense" measures, nearly every instance is either denied a very appropriate vote or simply ignored altogether. The finest example of this was the quick, and almost nonchalant stripping of the overwhelmingly House-approved E-verify measure from the final Stimulus bill. I agree that contacting your representatives is imperative, as you have no right to complain without doing so. But unfortunately, it seems as though we are currently in a situation in which taking the faxes to the dumpster in lieu of reading and consideration the opinions and input of one's constituents are becoming more commonplace.

I don't know what the answer is. Organized protests to match those of individuals who flaunt the laws of our land sound obvious. But from what I have seen, the turnouts have been relatively limited to biker groups here in Arizona. no disrespect to those who have been involved at all, but it's going to take a lot more than the Freedom Riders to get the point across. I personally think that the biggest problem is that the "other side" has so loudly played the "racist" card against those who disagree with their agenda that the overwhelming majority who is sickened by the current situation are too scared of being seen by a co-worker, neighbor, or television cameras, and assume they will thereby by labeled a "racist" in such scenarios for being physically present to support sanity for our nation. Waiting and wondering how much longer it will take to see otherwise....

For any of you that want to start a national effort, I'm in. We need to get organized or this administration will get out of control. Obama is right; we do have a lot to be worried about, but that worry is him and his new administration. I'm in Arizona. Let me know who is taking charge and what we need to do. During Napolitano's reign here as governor the overspending was out of control. Now we're suffering greatly in Arizona. We have a $3.5BB budget deficit for 2010. There aren't enough people in Arizona to make up the difference. Our state employees are losing jobs and many of them have to take unpaid furloughs. You can email me at franniedorchester@hotmail.com. We need freedom fighters.

Dear Secretary,
Surely you have a conscience in there somewhere for your own countrymen, women, and children. The Democrats are obviously expecting the illegal's to be their new constituency so therefore the needs, and desires of American citizens are ignored as if we no longer matter. So blatantly so, that you put us at risk as border guards, homeowners, job seekers ect... We really don't stand a ghost of a chance it seems, the Republicans allowed them here to raid our country for the cheap labor they provided, and the Democrats want them to stay, hoping that the parties, betrayal of us will net them a fat payoff of new Democrats after they finish destroying this great country as we've always known it to be, flaws and all. I love my HOMELAND and I beg of you to adhere to, and abide by the laws that were designed to protect your REAL constituents. We have always welcomed and helped immigrants to our country, but how long should we allow illegals and our own politicians to treat us like we're the problem??? Please be responsive to the people who have voted you guys into office to take care us, and our country, we need you!!!

I'm still chewing over the "How do we protest" post. It's true that calling, writing or emailing is not enough. We can gain some power by donations to organizations like Numbers (I have), Judicial Watch(I have) and the Humane Society. Start participating in local politics. I'm wondering how to get some statewide or national attention. But I've never publically protested anything (except the food in the Army)and don't know where to start. Do you need a permit to hold a rally? Can local political bosses stop you? Can you advertise in the papers? Maybe if Roy reads this, he can give us some hints. Personally, illegal aliens, 1st and 2nd amendments and crooked politicians at all levels never punished are my main gripes (but not the only). Maybe stage a public rally where citizens can vent their mains gripes and demand action and law enforcement. Wish this thing had a spell and grammar checker.

NumbersUSA Moderator: NumbersUSA does not organize marches or protests. FAIR is the immigration-reduction organization that has that as part of its mission. Don't sell your faxes and phone calls short -- they have done a lot of good (and stopped a lot of bad) over the years. If you want to do something more, visit a local office and talk to them in person. Most of you live within one hour of a local Congressional office.

Obama knew exactly what he was doing when he picked Napolitano. He wants only those who agree with his agenda. Unfortunatley the only part LEGAL US CITIZENS play in his agenda is the "picking of our pockets". O has every intention to grant a "blanket amnesty" to the ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIMINALS. Everyone of them who came to the US ILLEGALLY committed a crime, therefore they are all criminals.

* * * *

We're paying for their welfare, food stamps, the education of their ususally very large families. That along with O's "stimulus (spending) package". Calling and faxing your state reps. was a good place to start, however that is no longer enough. We need to make our voices heard loud and clear. The ILLEGALS had no problem protesting in our streets in OUR COUNTRY when they don't even belong in this country. It is time for the LEGAL US CITIZENS to do the same. The Constitution guarantees us the right to a peaceful protest.

Stop making campaign contributions to the national parties and only directly to the Congresspersons you know are doing what you want. Do not believe anything that they say. Pay attention to only what they do. Write letters to the editors. Most of this country doesn't even know who is holding office. Most don't watch the news or read the papers.

I feel the President made a huge mistake picking Janet Napolitano as head of Homeland Security. I oppose any amnesty to those who break our federal law. With all the murders, drugs, gangs going on in Mexico and spreading over to our country. I fear for our childrens' safety and ours. This government needs to secure these borders and protect the American people. I am so outraged an illegal's stealing identity, smuggling drugs, gangs invading our streets due to the failure of our own government. These elected officials are not living near these borders and don't care about those who live an everyday struggling life in this country. I get frustrated when illegals steal American jobs from U.S. citizens. Janet Napolitano is a disgrace when it comes to law and order. I am not against legal immigrants only those who are illegal and have no concept to law and order in our country. Janet Napolitano was the worst governor in AZ I have ever seen, she could not even protect Arizona's citizens what makes her think she can protect the whole country? She can't!

No, those folks were right. Napolitano is showing her colors. She worked hand in hand with Liberals as well as dishonest business people behind Wake Up Arizona!, a coalition of business groups headed by Mac Magruder, a McDonald's franchisee, and Jason LeVecke, who owns numerous Carl's Jr. and Pizza Patron restaurants.

America cannot expect Napolitano to stand up for Americans.
Many Arizonans call her by the nickname "Nappy" which is British slang for diaper, and we all know what those are usually full of!

Does the constitution say that we only enforce laws that please us. If I was to go to Mexico and break the law I may never get out. Why do we have to apologize for enforcing laws that protect our borders from terrorists or illegals of any nationality . We chose not to put Obama's Cabinet choices in jail for failure to pay income taxes and other crimes. We are teaching our young that law enforcement is an option not the rule. Of course a country that is bound for socialism in on a course for destrucion of our constitution and a democracy that has served us for centries.

Re: I've been trying to call DHS
I would be willing to do that. I think personal appearances by constituants are the answer. I agree that letters and faxes are encouraging, they are not absolute. Remember, most Congressman and Senators have staffers (or I call them interceptors) that read the mail and faxes. Do you really think that Senators and Congressman hear and see all that mail??? Do you think they hear the words of the people??? We as Americans need to organize a day, one day and carpet bomb our legislatures with mail, faxes and in person. Maybe they will get the message and the media will give us the attention. I think April 19th, or the start of the Revolution would be appropriate. (The shot heard round the world).

Mr. Beck et al. I am sorry
Mr. Beck et al.
I am sorry to say that as a US Customs and Border Protection Officer (CBP), immigration enforcement under the Bush admin was a third priority. After 911, Terrorism came first, Narcotics second and Immigration Enforcement Third. Nobody wanted to here that if we just enforced the Immigration Laws, 911 WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENDED, that's right, "WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED. All of the hi-jackers broke immigration law at the Port of Entry and after. If ICE, Border Patrol and CBP was allowed to exercise their rightful statuatory authority this country would be safer. Granted, we haven't had a 911 2.0 since and that is because of our military and federal law enforcement agencies. However, if the INA was enforced, there would be less gang violence, crime and employer violations of the INA. If Napolitano and Obama show their true colors ie.. Amnesty we are going back to September 10, 2001. For me, I will always be a September 12th person. I hope you will be too.

Re: Will Naplolitano Prove Arizona Doubters Correct? (THE ANTI-E
There is no hope of Napolitano changing her views until Obama changes his views and the liberals in Congress come down to Arizona and walk a mile in our shoes. Napolitano was rewarded for certain actions on her part in Arizona to stymy Maricopa Cty Sheriff Joe Arpaio in his endeavor to enforce laws that are on our books. She took away his budget money and gave it to a task force to seek down and arrest those worst criminals of all - fathers behind in child support. This is bordering on the need for an uprising of the people who want to take back their constitution based country. How can someone living in Iowa or Montana, etc. possibly know what its like to live in Arizona, Texas, California or New Mexico? With illegals consuming our resources and trying their best to take back land they lost in the Spanish/American War, life is not good for us stupid gringos willing to share our wealth. BUILD THE FENCE, MAN THE FENCE, ENFORCE LAWS TO PUNISH EMPLOYERS FOR EMPLOYING ILLEGALS AND MOST OF ALL ENFORCE ALL THE LAWS WE CITIZENS HAVE VOTED ON OVER THE YEARS TO PROTECT OURSELVES.

During the Clinton
During the Clinton administration workplace enforcement was consistent and fairly heavy. The number of illegals grew during his administration, not surprising given the booming economy, but growth was restrained by enforcement. When Bush stopped all but token enforcement the word got out to both employers and potential illegal immigrants and the flood gates opened. The number of illegals grew very rapidly and they moved beyond the border and urban states to other states in large numbers. The same thing will happen now, since Obama has halted enforcement, and is talking about amnesty to the Spanish language media. He is not just delaying a proper solution, he is making the problem substantially worse.

There is no excuse for what Obama is doing, but there may be something the Republicans can do about it, if they are more serious about curbing illegal immigration than about scoring political points. Obama is a liberal, but I think he would like to govern from the center. When Republicans insist on voting as a block against his every proposal, they force him to the left to guarantee every Democratic vote. That means he must do whatever the Hispanic Caucus demands, and they play hardball. By showing a willingness to make public-spirited deals including things like bankruptcy, health care and energy, Republicans could make themselves a much more powerful force on immigration than the Hispanic Caucus, and they could make us all proud, Democrats and Republicans.

I wonder what would happen if the American people decided that if our government is using our tax dollars to support the use of illegals in this country, to stop the use of the tax dollars, we'd just stop paying taxes.

Remember, it's not just the loss of jobs for Americans, it's also the cost of supporting them with housing, medical, cleaning up after the messes that they leave behind, and not to mention the cost of incarceration for the crime that has escalated through the fact that they're here.

Maybe its us....the American people that need to wake up and say "NO MORE". No jobs for Americans, no tax dollars to support illegals.

I was never hopeful for any
I was never hopeful for any enforcement once President Obama won the election, nor did I believe Napolitano was anything but an anti-Law shill fake front, even though Roy bought into the misleading imagery there for a while.

The only real question is whether the state of the economy will simply terrify the Democrats (because they hold ALL power now, given two spineless Republicans and two independents in the Senate).

So the question is, will the fear and pain of an utterly failing economy "protect" Americans long enough for at least mid term elections such that the composition of the House or Senate has a chance to change and thus derail illegal amnesty, and perhaps later re-focus law enforcement?

That's the question, I dare say, given the extremes of severe collapsing trade across Asia and Europe and America, that the Democrats might be too scared to do this. It will certainly lead to the end of the Democrat party, because even if given Amnesty, there will be no jobs for all these Mexicans, who I have found are also pushy and rude, and will "get in the face" of real Americans, and then things will get ugly.

So I find it hard to believe that the Democrats alone will push this through, since they are not stupid. However they are still acting like it's the 1990's, which it most certainly no longer is.

Are there ANY Congress people who will speak-up for Citizens and directly ask (demand!) Napolitano to enforce the law and contiune the worksite raids?
I would like to see several Congressmen and Senators come out and publicly demand she enforce the laws to save American jobs for legal workers only.
Also, I have scoured the DHS web site and can’t locate a public “comment” email link tab anyplace, if you know how I can send an online complaint, let me know.

NumbersUSA Moderator: We definitely need more Members of Congress to hold Napolitano accountable. Call and write your Members today!

DHS appears to prefer phone calls to emails.
