Arizona Punishes Zero Illegal Alien Employers

Last Updated: Tue, 11/10/2009 - 4:48pm

After investing millions of dollars to enforce the nation’s toughest law against businesses that hire illegal immigrants, Arizona has not punished one employer and a chunk the money remains largely unspent by counties throughout the state.

When legislators passed the Legal Arizona Workers Act two years ago with great fanfare, they allocated the sufficient funds (about $5 million) to enforce it. After all, the state is estimated to have nearly half a million undocumented workers and the landmark law allows authorities to severely punish—even revoke the license—of businesses caught hiring illegal aliens.

DOJ Secretly Gags Media

Last Updated: Tue, 11/10/2009 - 2:07pm

The administration that directed Americans to report “fishy” speech opposing its policies and killed a federal decree banning the use of web technologies to invade privacy has ordered an internet news site to provide detailed information on its readers and keep the request secret.

Keeping with its big government motto, the Obama Administration subpoenaed records of reader visits to a Philadelphia-based news web site (Indymedia) and ordered the operators “not to disclose the existence of this request” unless authorized by the Justice Department. In other words, the Obama Administration secretly slapped a media outlet with a gag order to cover its unscrupulous actions. Perhaps the feds need a little refresher course on the First Amendment.

Homeland Sec. Chief Fears Muslim Backlash

Days after an al Qaeda wannabe Army major went on a murderous rampage at the nation’s largest military base, the Secretary of Homeland Security’s biggest concern appears to be preventing a wave of anti-Muslim sentiment in the United States.

Janet Napolitano, the Obama official in charge of protecting the country’s safety, is most worried about a politically incorrect backlash against Muslims after the Ft. Hood massacre and says her agency is working hard with groups across the U.S. to deflect any retaliation against Muslims for one man’s fury.
