I’m attending a conference in Simi Valley, California, at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. I’ve been here three times, and I’ve never visited Reagan’s grave or taken pictures of the scenery. No time! I will make time this year.
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting and sitting beside the man behind SB 1070 (PDF), the Arizona bill that basically eliminates all sanctuary policies in the state and makes it illegal for illegal aliens to remain in the state. Senator Russell Pearce said that states have an inherent authority to enforce federal immigration law. Eighteen states are working on laws similar to Arizona’s. A majority of Americans supports Arizona’s law, as does 73 percent of Arizonans. The immigration bill is controversial only to mainstream media.
Did you know the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment does not apply to babies of illegal aliens born here? The senator’s working on a bill to end birthright citizenship for illegal aliens.
Senator Pearce doesn’t believe immigration reform is necessary. No amnesty, either. Enforce the law. Period. More later.
I also met Frank Ricci of Ricci v. DeStefano. More on that case later, too.
