HB2632 did not pass COW (Committee of the Whole) today in the house! It appears that an open boarders person named Ernest Hancock mass emailed the House Legislators claiming that HB2632 is a backdoor to the Real ID ACT. This is a blatant lie and voting has been postponed to a date to be determined most likely next week but maybe as soon as tomorrow 3/18/10. The fact of the matter is that the Real ID ACT was nullified by Arizona wich joined more that 20 states in 2007. This whole email campaign was just short of a domestic terrorist act.
We will keep you informed to any changes in the status of HB2632.
Follow all current bills on the Arizona ALIS system.
Visit the Life, Liberty and Freedom website which allows you to communicate to various State Legislators.
Letter from Senator Russel Pearce on 3/18/10
Fw: HB2632/SB1070 a good bill a must pass to stop the billions in cost, to save American jobs, to stop the killings and maimings of our citizens, etc.
Thank you Kevin, this is what I just sent out.
My Dear friends and family,
I would hope my record of vigilance in defense of freedom and our Constitutional liberties would cause folks to think twice before believing I would do a back door attempt to promote any type of National ID.
Ernie Hancock put out information on this bill that needs to corrected right now about a National ID piece and an ability to detain folks indefinitely. I wrote the bill and it has NO such provision. It is such a stretch, it is unbelievable. I have a memo from our Constitutional attorney coming to verify this very fact. It is the black helicopter mentality. I understand and believe in the Constitution and work hard to honor it in all I do. I do not now or never have supported any form of National ID. The other issue he speaks about is detention. Nothing in this bill allows for detention of citizens at all and illegal aliens only as allowed under federal law for purposes of determining legal status for purposes of deportation.
I was co-sponsor on the legislation to stop the Real ID from being imposed on Arizona, I also sponsored 10th Amendment legislation recognizing Arizona as a Sovereign Republic as guaranteed in Article 4 Section IV of the U.S. Constitution and the 9th and 10th Amendments of the Constitution. I am consistently rated as the #1 or in the top by the Goldwater Institute as the top defender of the Liberty. Constitution and Limited Government ally of the public.
www.russellpearce.comI have worked hard to make sure our laws are enforced and we end this illegal invasion that is destroying America. We are in very tough times with Gangster Government in D.C., and with folks here at home that ignore their responsibility to protect you life, your liberty and your property, not take them away from you.
“Let the American youth never forget, that they possess a noble inheritance, bought by the toils, and sufferings, and blood of their ancestors; and capacity, if wisely improved, and faithfully guarded, of transmitting to their latest posterity all the substantial blessings of life, the peaceful enjoyment of liberty, property, religion, and independence.” –Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, 1833
When a government breaches its limitations placed upon it by a constitution, (a) the government agent loses its trust to rule, (b) the powers delegated to it are reverted back to the creators of the constitution, and (c) the constitution becomes non-binding on those who created it. This is the natural law concept of “the consent of the government,” as expressed in our Declaration of Independence.
Particular to the United States, the U.S. Constitution was voluntarily formed as a compact by existing sovereign states with existing state constitutions. Despite the deceptive proposition that the States were created by Congress, the States existed prior to and independent of any Congress, as confirmed by the Treaty of Paris in 1783 (which, by the way, was not overturned by any subsequent legal action of the states). “The State governments, by their original constitutions, are invested with complete sovereignty.” Alexander Hamilton, FP 31. And, “Each State, in ratifying the constitution, is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act.” –James Madison, FP 39.
“The whole of that Bill [of Rights] is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals… [I]t establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of.” –Albert Gallatin, letter to Alexander Addison, 1789
Thank you for your support today. Enough is enough. Don’t be fooled by the miss information given today in committee by those who oppose any and all enforcement. I will not attend another funeral without having done all I can to enforce our laws. We must enforce our laws with compassion, but without apology.
I have been to court (federal court) 7 times on Prop. 200 and 5 times on Employer Sanctions and we have won all 12 times. The language will survive the challenges by the open border/ACLU/MALDEF/ANDOTHERS, as the left and cheap labor crowd continue to tell it has drafting errors. Not true. The old attorney trick. I refuse to attend another funeral of a Police Officer or of a Citizen without doing everything I can do to enforce our laws. Government is complicit in the deaths, maimings and cost to our citizens.
Remember the Police Chiefs had a Press Conference several months ago right after Officer Erfle was murdered by an illegal alien and stated they refused to enforce our immigration laws. No surprise they have concerns (invented to protect the status quo). They do not want to enforce the laws and have stated, that is why they have so many roadblocks in place and as testified to investigations on officers who called ICE. In fact they are investigating one commander for arresting homicide suspects that were illegal aliens, because he did not get permission from higher command officers. Look at the endorsements, Sheriffs, Police Officers, many, many others and just Saturday by a unanimous vote of over 1400 Maricopa County PC’s endorsed this effort. 80% of the public support this effort.
I just had a meeting with law enforcement this noon and they were extremely upset that their were concerns about their ability to “know” when and when not to arrest with the silly arguments or concerns presented by some. That is what they do for a living. They don’t go around arresting people based on appearance!!!!! They have been restrained from doing the very job they took an Oath to do. Protect and to Serve. Enforce all laws. They have been to many funerals, many which could have been prevented.
