Utah gives amnesty to illegals

[DesertBull]

I expect that Obama will sue Utah for usurping the federal authority on immigration laws, right?

I'm truly at a loss for words. I will keep an eye on it though, curious to see how it will play out.

If that were California, Washington or Oregon, I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised, but Utah??? I would have thought Utah was a lot more politically conservative than that.

Dont forget Mormon missions are all over Mexico. I say let Utah deal with the free food,medical care and uninsured driver's, and they will see what We in AZ have put up for years. God Bless UTAH. ENJOY. Tell them that their tax paying dollar's will be well spent on the ILLEGAL"S

Some good points if you didn't completely undermine any credibility you had with your obviously misplaced, misguided and so completely irrelevant comment about one of many service oriented organizations in Latin America. Keep your bigoted comments to yourself.

 

The article mentions "business, legislative, and religious leaders." That's a whole lot more than one LDS representative. And by the way, Utah is close to like 25% LDS. That's less than the percentage of Hispanics in AZ. Is AZ a Mexican state? OF COURSE NOT! Would you be mad if New York wrote that about AZ? YOU BETTER BE!

 

It's also interesting that many states, some liberal, some conservative, most without Mormon "influence", are hailing this as a model for actually doing something to improve the situation, in stead of ignoring the fact that the current system is obviously broken.

 

I'm not saying I agree with the approach these bills are taking, but I'm glad somethings being done despite congress sucking, and the economy sucking almost as bad, AND you don't have to make this about religion to get your point across.

The point is, DC says that AZ cannot make their own immigration laws and have gone to the courts to stop it. Will they be consistent or, because of their agenda, back Utah in their obvious attempt to make immigration law? I think we all know the answer to that.

I would've expected better from Utah and I am quite suprised by this recent turn of events.

You're exactly right DB. The federal government has not been doing one of just a few responsibilties originally delegated by the people(the other powers they have usurped), and they haven't been doing anything for quite some time. Az takes its approach, and the Feds freak. What will they do with Utah? The Feds are so busy sticking their nose in everyone's business and now are so distracted and disfunctional. Their whole agenda is staying in power and getting more of it. Americans are so disenfranchised, they're voting out incumbents like crazy ala teaparties, and congress may try to let this slide to increase a voting demographic they can better "control."
