My heart goes out to the long-suffering people of my home state. Now, they are faced with Barack Hussein Obama, the Worst U.S. President Ever, and his radical, anti-American agenda. Luckily, there's a few good people left, real Americans, who will fight tooth and nail against this Administration and it's onslaught of social CHANGE...

PHOENIX – “Today I was notified that the federal government has filed a lawsuit against
the State of Arizona. It is wrong that our own federal government is suing the people of Arizona
for helping to enforce federal immigration law. As a direct result of failed and inconsistent
federal enforcement, Arizona is under attack from violent Mexican drug and immigrant
smuggling cartels. Now, Arizona is under attack in federal court from President Obama and his
Department of Justice. Today's filing is nothing more than a massive waste of taxpayer funds.
These funds could be better used against the violent Mexican cartels than the people of Arizona.

“The truth is the Arizona law is both reasonable and constitutional. It mirrors substantially
what has been federal law in the United States for many decades. Arizona’s law is designed to
complement, not supplant, enforcement of federal immigration laws. Despite the Department of
Justice’s claims in paragraph 62 of today’s lawsuit, Arizona is not trying ‘to establish its own
immigration policy’ or ‘directly regulate the immigration status of aliens.’ Arizona Revised
Statutes § 11-1051(E) states that the federal government, along with local law enforcement
officers authorized by the federal government, can only determine an alien’s immigration status.
Subsection (L) of that same section goes on to state that the law ‘shall be implemented in a
manner consistent with federal laws regulating immigration.’

“The irony is that President Obama’s Administration has chosen to sue Arizona for helping
to enforce federal immigration law and not sue local governments that have adopted a
patchwork of ‘sanctuary’ policies that directly violate federal law. These patchwork local
‘sanctuary’ policies instruct the police not to cooperate with federal immigration officials.

“The best thing government can do is to create a stable, predictable environment, governed
by an easily understood set of rules or laws. We do not need to make this more complicated
than it already is. We must first and foremost create a secure border. Enhanced trade,
economic opportunity and freedom will surely follow.

“I am pleased that President Obama and the Department of Justice did not pursue the
baseless claims of illegal racial profiling in the lawsuit. When signing S.B. 1070, I said, ‘My
signature today represents my steadfast support for enforcing the law — both against illegal
immigration AND against racial profiling.’ Arizona’s law expressly prohibits unconstitutional racial
profiling. However, words are not enough. For this reason, I ordered the Arizona Peace Officer
Standards and Training Board (AZPOST) to develop training on the new law for Arizona’s police
officers. AZPOST has completed the training course and has published it for the all world to
see at www.azpost.state.az.us/SB1070infocenter.htm. AZPOST has done its job professionally
and served Arizona well.

“I will not stop fighting to protect the citizens of Arizona, and to defend Arizonans in federal
court. I have set up a legal defense fund to pay the substantial legal fees that Arizona has been,
and will be, forced to incur as a result of all of these lawsuits. Contributions to the Border
Security and Immigration Defense Fund can be made at www.keepazsafe.com. My legal team
will not hesitate to assert the rights of the State of Arizona in this matter. Arizona will ultimately
prevail against the lawsuits – including this latest assault by the Obama Administration. Our laws
will be found to be constitutional – because that is exactly what they are.”

Here you go, help Arizona beat Barack Hussein Obama's crazy lawsuit.
