Recently, Peggy West, a 12th District Supervisor from Milwaukee, became the latest YouTube sensation. How did she receive this honor, by showing her absolute ignorance of simple geography and her ignorance of the illegal immigration problem. Thankfully she had a fellow councilman jump in and give her a quick geography lesson.
It is outrageous that Peggy West, who is the Chairperson of the Health and Human Needs Committee and a member of the Economic and Community Development Committee is so ill equipped. Her basic lack of common sense is unbelievable. She actually admitted to Goggling for information. While the Internet does supply a vast warehouse of information, anyone with a lick of common sense knows that you have to be carefully with the information. That's why the media has fact checkers employed. to research and double check information.
It is a sign of the times, when elected officials can not discuss relevant issues and have the facts to backup their points of view. Very often persons are elected to office based on their ethnic or racial background. Even gender or sexual orientation can come into play. Liberals would have you believe that these issues are more important than the persons experience, their education or lack thereof. Liberals would have you believe that this is how America should elect their public officials.
Americans should elected public officials based on the individuals strength of character, their morals and values and for the ideas these individuals promote. Ethnic background, race, gender and sexual orientation should have no place in how America votes.
Illegal Immigration is a hot topic across America. It doesn't matter where you live. The burden that it places on health care, our legal system and the economy is profound. Most Americans can trace their family roots back to someone who immigrated to this country. America was founded and built by immigrants, there for, many Americans find this a vital and important issue. Unfortunately Peggy West but a face to the lack of education of this issue.
America is changing and along with this change comes turmoil. The issue of illegal immigration is an overwhelming and politically charged topic. Politician need to get an Atlas and learn where the border states are in reference to Mexico. They may also want to hire fact checkers, to keep them from appearing ignorant and uninformed. Americans need to reevaluate how and why they vote for someone running for public office.

The Battle For Arizona
All eyes are turned west towards Arizona. The citizens of this beautiful state are under attack from illegal immigrants and from the Federal Government. The State of Arizona is trying to solve a dangerous situation that effects it's citizens. Rape, murder, robbery, and illegal drugs are destroying the state and it's citizens. Arizona and other border states are struggling with uncontrolled immigration, and the Mexican drug cartels.
The Governor of Arizona met with President Obama and he promised that he would send a task force to the state to assess the situation and meet the the Arizona Governor. That was over two weeks ago, and they have yet to show up. This is another example of the lack of leadership from the current administration. It's just another example of how out of touch our President and his administration is. They just want to ignore this dangerous situation. Then to add insult to injury, Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, announces while out of the country, in Ecuador, that President Obama plans to sue the State of Arizona. How outrageous that this was released not from Washington, but a South American country.
The citizens of Arizona have a right to protect themselves and their property, without the Federal Government interfering. The citizens of Arizona have had to tolerate much and they have lost much over the years. Where has the Federal Government been while all of this has been going on? Why have they ignored the cries of the Citizens of Arizona? Why do they put illegal immigrants before the citizens of Arizona and of this Country? Why do they put the President of Mexico in front of the media and let him berate the State of Arizona and it's citizens. This is a man who needs to deal with the problems of his own country and stay out of our Country's business. But, then the government of Mexico publish and distribute pamphlets for illegal immigrants. Money pours across the border from illegal immigrants and into the pockets of the Mexican Government.
Why is the Federal Government suing the State of Arizona? There are vagrancy laws in every state, in every county and in every city or town in this country. If you are stopped by law enforcement in a traffic stop or even jaywalking, you are asked for your papers. Only in this country we call it your drivers license or ID. This is nothing new, if you don't have some form of identification, you can be arrested for vagrancy. Remember the movie Rambo, that's what the title character was arrested for.
The majority of Americans have ancestors that were immigrants. When they first arrived in this country, they went through the immigration process. Why, now after all this time does our government want to hand over this country to illegal immigrants? Why are they ignoring the American Citizens and what we want and what we need? Washington and the power players need to wake up and smell the voting booth. America is tired of their inaction.
Arizona and other border states are dealing with horrific situations that are often life threatening. These states have been left to fend for themselves. Supposed President Obama made a remark that if he secures the borders now, then there will be no support for immigration reform. This was supposedly stated to Senator Kyl in the Oval Office. The video was shown on Bill O'Reilly. Of course, the immediate response was that Senator Kyl misunderstood what the President was saying. It sounds like President Obama stuck his foot in his mouth and the spin doctors are doing damage control.
