Now that Obama & the Dems have successfully gotten a Federal judge to issue an injunction against many of the provisions of the new Arizona immigration enforcement law, which polls show something like 75% of citizens support, I predict the House will swing back to the Republicans this November. According to those who oppose the law, almost all of the illegals are here to better their life and are otherwise law-abiding. However, while driving in to work earlier this week, I heard on the local radio that the INS and police just rounded up some 87 illegal immigrants in Washington DC and Virgina, of which 75 were previously convicted or suspected of rape, murder or other very serious felonies. And the 12 who were not, had been deported at least once before.
I have several Hispanic friends and neighbors, and even they tend to support immigration enforcement since it costs them in the form of higher taxes and fewer public services, due to the burden of taking care of the illegals. And I don't blame Obama exclusively for the mess - George Bush also contributed to it. But it's time the Feds stepped up to their responsibilities and put a stop to this.
Just my 2 cents..
