ACLU Oppose Efforts To Enforce Immigration Laws

Posted on May 6, 2006

There are many different reasons that we need to secure our borders, and enforce immigration laws. The one that concerns me the most is National security. Besides that very big reason, another one that too many try to whitewash is the fact that illegal aliens are ILLEGAL. That means they ARE criminals, because they have broken our laws. The ACLU are so stupid, that they actually advocate for completely open borders. After watching the ACLU do everything in their power to impede the efforts of the Minute Men, it is no suprise they also oppose actual law enforcers to enforce immigration laws.

Butler County leaders are moving forward with a plan to require anyone who seeks a building permit to sign a pledge not to hire illegal immigrants. Random job site inspections also would be conducted by the Butler County Auditor’s Office, with results reported to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Butler leaders plan to spend several weeks asking home builders, Hispanic groups and others to weigh in on the proposal.

They also plan to hold public meetings with federal immigration officials and Butler’s sheriff and prosecutor’s offices.

But after learning about Butler County’s plan Friday, Link said the ACLU is closely watching this proposal.

If the plan is adopted as it stands, the agency contends it would be illegal.

The group also would be willing to file a legal challenge, Link said.

“Random checks are a violation of the Fourth Amendment,” she said. “You do not have to let the police onto your property or work site unless they have warrants. You can’t make people sign pledges that would let them sign away their Fourth Amendment right.”

Link said she was trying to contact Butler County commissioners Friday to learn more about their plan and to offer some advice.

“When an idea is just not very good, we kind of wait around and let it play itself out,” she said. “But when an idea is this far off the mark, we feel more urgency to weigh in.”

Link said Butler County’s approach to illegal immigration is flawed in general.

“Local law enforcement is not empowered to enforce federal law,” she said. “What exactly are they trying to address? They are making these claims that people are illegal, but how do they know? A lot of what is going on in Butler County is manufactured by political figures.”

Luckily, the proposers and advocates of the plan are not going to give in easily to the ACLU.

Butler County Commissioner Mike Fox, who made the proposal, dismissed the objections.

“The ACLU will oppose any attempt to enforce immigration laws in America,” he said. “These are the same people that sued the volunteers who were trying to protect the borders. They don’t even think it’s lawful to protect this nation’s borders. So I don’t really care what the ACLU’s opinion is.

“What I care about is businesses complying with the law. What we are trying to do is very simple. We are trying to make sure that the federal agencies responsible for protecting America do so.”

Isn’t it sad that the ACLU oppose protecting our nation’s borders? Sad, but not suprising. After all, we are talking about an organization that openly fights to get terrorists off the hook, and metal detectors removed from airports. The ACLU are consistently stupid when it comes to national security, and calling them stupid is giving them the benefit of the doubt. Its either that, or they really do hate America. Take your pick. It very well could be all of the above.

The ACLU sees itself as mighty legal warriors standing in the gap for the rights of all who are oppressed. They could care less whether they are compromising the security of 300 million people in this country, it’s simply not important to them.

How was the ACLU aever the American Civil Liberties Union. As if was form by a communist (our dear Mr Baldwin) it has always been the Anti-American Liberities Union.

“If the plan is adopted as it stands, the agency contends it would be illegal.”

Enforcing the laws, it seems, is something the ACLU doesn’t want done….further;

“Local law enforcement is not empowered to enforce federal law,” which sounds to me as if the ACLU believes that there are different laws for different cops to enforce.

If I rob a bank (a federal crime) is the local cop not allowed to arrest me now? Of course not. Then why can local cops NOT enforce immigration law? Answer, they CAN but WON’T.

Butler County Commissioner Mike Fox has it right, “So I don’t really care what the ACLU’s opinion is.”
