Georgia governor signs controversial anti-illegal immigration law

Tucker Case said:
See, I support this because it should never be federal law to begin with. I believe that the State's should be the masters of their own residency laws. We don't need a nanny state telling us who can or cannot be our neighbors.

I think immigration SHOULD be a federal policy. It would be tough for say...Michigan to create its own immigration laws without affecting the other states. However...I dont see where people are up in arms about the states contributing to fighting illegal immigration...especially when the federal government spent billions of dollars in training states on how to enforce federal immigration laws.
 
Liberals scoff at this law, and yet it's still the softest immigration law in the world.

People are not up in arms..........Presidien IWon and Eric Holder and La Raza are the ones who get up in arms about it.......................Look for a DoJ lawsuit against Georgia in the near future to strike this down

Maybe the states should adopt Mexicos anti immigration policies.

Borders of countries should be federal, borders of states should be controlled by the states.

Against military threats, the borders are federal, sure, but when it comes to residency, that's a State issue, or at least it was until some judicial activism of the 1870's.

A loose, federal authority expanding interpretation of naturalization laws (whcih regard aquiring citizenship, not residency) was used to steal state's power to determine whom they could allow to be residents under the guise of it being "diplomacy".

I support laws like this one because they are the first step towards ending this federal usurptation of State authority.
