After Hazleton Ruling, What Would SCOTUS Do?
By James Roh
The National Journal, July 27, 2007
. . .
Munley noted that according to federal statutes, the role of determining residency status belongs to the federal government alone. And in enacting the ordinance, Hazleton's government wrongly assumed that 'the federal government seeks the removal of all aliens who lack legal status,' he added.

But more and more police and sheriffs departments are taking on immigration enforcement, with the federal government's blessing. The White House and Congress freely admit that the current immigration statutes and enforcement mechanisms are woefully inadequate.

That said, Hazleton and dozens of towns like it may find a formidable opponent in the Bush administration should the Supreme Court agree to hear the case. Not only do White Houses generally side with the federal government in federalism battles, but this White House in particular has opposed what it calls 'vigilante' anti-immigration measures on the local level.

notice the words....
" wrongly assumed "

 Bugsygirl, in reply to the Hazelton ruling, 

  

Amendment XIV

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

First of all, the 14th Amendment was enacted in 1868, and was dealing with the citizenship of the freed slaves. But, thanks to the bleeding hearts in this country, and the liberal Supreme Court, they try to apply it to everyone. People need to interpret this in the context that it was written.

Secondly, notice the italics and underline I put in. It clearly states citizens of the United States, not illegal immigrants or legal immigrants but citizens. So , what part of this can those who are downing Hazelton not understand? I believe the folks in Hazelton were well within their Constitutional right to do what they did.

---

I do think those bleeding hearts are calculating and cunning people who are patiently chipping away at our constitution to set up a more agreeable atmosphere for globalistic corporations.

Heres another article about that Schip bill.

They also try to apply citizens rights and civil rights to illegals but make no attempt to apply it to us. That doesnt fit their agenda.

---

As for Verizon, I don't see anything in this article that talks about teaching these people English as their first language.

Also, ther are other cellphone companies in the world. If I had Verizon, I would already be switching.

And I want to know where is this wave of hatred the Hispanics are talking about? I haven't heard anyone talk of hate. All I have heard is the need for the illegals to go back, and come in the right way. The only people I have read anything about that has hate, is the subversive Latino groups that want to take over our country.

John I do beleive they are easing in regulations of international treaties in this manner. UN regulations also.

Verizon in their Fiber to the home Projects use a very high number of Immigrants, Probably Illegal.

This is done through the use of Sub Contractors. Chances are you will not find this info posted anywhere, it is info they do not want you to know.

Of course Verizon would Sponsor La Raza, It helps keep their corporate profits High, Cheep Labor.

I know this info is correct, I have worked in the line construction industry for 29 years.

Fiber to the home is what powers most of your high speed internet.

This information is especially true in the Florida Markets.

Verizon is international isnt it?

If people are serious about doing something about this, then it is time to boycott this company. If enough people stop using them, their profits will drop, and give them something to think about. Of course, they could be like Ford Motor Co., and not give a tinker's damn.

But, the problem is that people want to be comfortable with what they have, and not be willing to give up a convenience for the sake of the country.

John,

You're such a wise man.  When I saw this, I immediately copied the report on Verizon and sent it to family and friends as "another one bites the dust" for us to boycott.  We've got to get through to these companies that are so far up in the clouds that they can't even see the citizens of this country!

No, I'm not wise, I'm just tired of these corporations thinking that they have the American citizens by the short hairs, and that we can't live without their services. I got along nicely before there were cell phones, and cable TV, and high speed internet. If, like I said, the people would be willing to give up some conveniences, and show these corporations we don't need them, but they need us, then they will start to listen to reason. Until then, it will be the same old same old. Here in Tennessee we have a saying SSDD, Same Sh-- Different Day, and that's all we will ever have if we continue letting these people get away with this.

Someone on another post said they would like to see the administrators of some of the different forums get together as a group, and go as a team to talk to the powers that be. I believe that would be a great idea, but it wouldn't be without cost. It would take money for them to do that, and I'm wondering how many of us would be willing to shell out the money to finance the cause. I know I would.

---

First let me say that I would rather see a private company/organization using their funds instead of stealing the taxpayers money to develop/provide a program of any kind.

That being said this type of corporate pandering to illegals and open borders lobbyist is not going to end until folks like us grow in number and hit the street in protest and boycott in a meaningful way by bringing mass media into the act to broaden the exposure level to non-activist types and make it uncomfortable for company and their concern about "image". 

This is the age of image, public relations, spin and damage control.  15 people waiving signs or sending e-mails is spun into racist crackpots.  1500 people keeping a protest going with Congressman, Lou Dobbs etc. speaking in front of HQ until Verizon meets the demand to rescind the donation to LaRaza is a movement and that is what it will take. 

Until then our individual efforts are as good as we can do but really only amount to acts of personal conscience that will not have much impact. 

Also, isn't it about time that our side seek corporate/organization money?  HEY STEVE ELLIOT LETS RAISE SOME SERIOUS CASH SO YOU WILL HAVE THE RESOURCES TO REALLY PRESS THE ISSUE!!!!!!!!!!

I have been with Verizon for the past 6 years.  I cannot wait for tomorrow, when I call and cancel my cell phone service (and I get to tell them why).

I have a cell phone provided by employer.  My personal cell phone goes away.  Any suggestions as to who I should choose for my NEW personal cell phone??

DLG347;

I believe AT&T owns Cingular? I would steer clear of them as well. Watch the new commercials.

---

Just a thought - don't know how much money you have but it has been pointed out to me that sometimes there is a 'substantial' cancellation fee for breaking a contract.  OK if you have the money but not if you're surviving on the SUB-POVERTY level. 

As far as boycotting the businesses that the elitist businessmen in AZ own (those who are battling the law against employing illegals), well I can cheerfully boycott all of them and call them to let them know why.

If breaking a contract would cost over $50 - - - well, I just plain do not have it.

Yes, AT&T owns Cingular. I'm just waiting to see if they are going to do anything stupid like this.

I like what  SovereignMan is saying, we need to get some corporate backing of our own. Anyone have any ideas?
