I read with interest in the Arizona Republic recently that there is to be a Senate hearing now over the border issue and violence which has been occurring by one of the Senate Committees in the near future. Another "shut up" measure it appears, prior to Obama/McCain’s push for that amnesty coming up in the fall, and scheduled after Obama’s commencement speech at ASU on his "Push the Amnesty" tour now it would appear.
Due to the universities in which he has scheduled his public relations appearances (ASU and Notre Dame), it would appear that these occasions will be used for an agenda since this amnesty is something Washington eventually intends to push down the American people’s throats whether they like it or not.
Interesting also that "as with all Senate hearings" there will be no public input. You would think in a government "of the people" that it is the people, not public officials, input that would be given the most weight – after all, it is the people and not the public officials who have been victimized, since a great many of those public officials also have agendas in their political positions.
Mayor Gordon is scheduled to speak – Mr. Sanctuary City, who even gave police protection to those illegals for their last demonstration. Terry Goddard, who has hidden in his office for the last six years, and has failed to prosecute in any meaningful way any of the illegals who have victimized state residents. Jan Brewer, who as Secretary of State and a new Governor to boot will have little in the way to add since she is there mostly for the big businesses profiting off this situation.
What a sham. And I guess merely another PR stunt, and way in which the Senate Committee members can get in some golf and a free trip to Arizona. The FBI statistics alone should paint the picture. And the amount of homeless in that state who have also been victimized. The facts are there – but it appears that facts are not something that those in Washington consider in any of their deliberations – nor the law or Constitution as to whose lives and property they are duty bound to protect.
I wonder what the tab on the taxpayers will be for this, again, bureaucratic PR stunt? Napolitano must have volumes in her office of background and statistics on this. And since even the public has voted at the ballot boxes and also screamed for those National Guard troops – just what additional "evidence" does this committee need anyway?
Merely a bonding exercise, it would appear, for those on this "committee," and visit to Troon (a golf course in Scottsdale).
And I wonder just how "political" and "downplayed" that testimony is truly going to be from those "officials" who have also betrayed their fellow Arizonans for literally years – such as Gordon, Goddard, the Governor’s office, and the rest? Including the Arizona state legislature.
