Three Immigration Stories

Hamas. Terror. Murder. Hate. Islamofacism. Antisemitism. The founder of Hamas, Hassan Yousef, has a son named Mosab Hassan Yousef, who has written a memoir, "Son of Hamas". Horrified by the death and murder of innocents, he turned against Hamas and his father. He became a spy for the Israelis because he wanted to save lives. Apparently his information has saved a lot of lives. That being done, he's converted to Christianity and has moved to the US. Being here he's provided even more information to the Dept of Homeland Security. Having done that, he's asked for political asylum. DHS is being really slow responding and it's not certain that this brave immigrant will be given his wish.

Keeping that story in mind, brave immigrant trying to do things legally, this story involves Massachusetts state representative Mike Moran. Moran is a supporter of illegal immigration and open borders. He supports sanctuary states (Mass is one) and cities. My view is that anyone that supports this idea does not support the rule of law. Moran was at a stoplight and was rear-ended by a drunk illegal immigrant doing 60. He had no license and his alcohol level was three times the legal limit. The drunk criminal that almost killed someone said that there's nothing anyone could do to him. He laughed about it. The almost equally reprehensible Moran: "I have been and will continue to be pro-immigrant and in some cases even pro-illegal-immigrant. It would be politically expedient for me at this point in time to change that. That should...tell you that even after being hit by one I will continue to advocate for immigrants and their rights as citizens in this country." Aren't officials sworn into office sworn to uphold the law? When did people here illegally get the rights of citizens? Or even why may be a better question.

Arizona Gov Jan Brewer is asking for the resignation of the State Attorney General, and if she doesn't get it, will begin legal proceedings to have him removed from office. The guy has spoken against the bill passed by the state legislature, and has lied about it contents. He's the chief law officer of the state. He too is sworn to uphold the law. From the letter asking for the resignation:

"...your decision to file this motion without my approval amounts to an unconstitutional usurpation of my authority and a violation of state law as set forth in Section 8 of House Bill 2162. ... I respectfully request that you step aside so my legal team can set forth the best defense possible in the immigration lawsuits currently before the federal district court. If you do not withdraw your motion to intervene in Friendly House, I will pursue all legal remedies available to me to have you removed as counsel for the State of Arizona to ensure the State a true and proper defense. "

Color me crazy, but I really do think the rule of law is a good thing, and that protecting brave people obeying the law is a good thing; that ignoring laws and giving a pass to criminals is a bad thing.
