State
Senator Sylvia Allen responds to SB1070
I’m Arizona State Senator Sylvia Allen. I want to
explain SB 1070 for which I voted yes. Rancher Robert Krentz was
murdered by the drug cartel on his ranch a month ago. I participated
in a senate hearing two weeks ago on the border violence, here is just
some of the highlights from those who testified.
The people who live within 60 to 80 miles of the
Arizona/Mexico Border have for years been terrorized and
have pleaded for help to stop the daily invasion of humans
who cross their property . One Rancher testified that 300 to 1200 people
a DAY come across his ranch vandalizing his property,
stealing his vehicles and property, cutting down his
fences, and leaving trash. In the last two years he has
found 17 dead bodies and two Koran bibles. Another rancher
testified that daily drugs are brought across his ranch in a military
operation. A point man with a machine gun goes in front, 1/2 mile behind
are the guards fully armed, 1/2 mile behind them are the drugs, behind the
drugs 1/2 mile are more guards. These people are violent and they will
kill anyone who gets in the way. This was not the only
rancher we heard that day that talked about the drug
trains. One man told of two illegal’s who came upon his
property one shot in the back and the other in the arm by
the drug runners who had forced them to carry the drugs and
then shot them. Daily they listen to gun fire during the night it is not
safe to leave his family alone on the ranch and they can’t leave the
ranch for fear of nothing being left when they come back.
The border patrol is not on the border. They have set up 60
miles away with check points that do nothing to stop the
invasion. They are not allowed to use force in stopping
anyone who is entering. They run around chasing them, if they get
their hands on them then they can take them back across the border. Federal
prisons have over 35% illegal’s and 20% of Arizona prisons are filled with
illegal’s. In the last few years 80% of our law enforcement that have
been killed or wounded have been by an illegal. The
majority of people coming now are people we need to be worried about.
The ranchers told us that they have seen a change in the
people coming they are not just those who are looking for
work and a better life.
The Federal Government has refused for years to do anything to
help the border states . We have been over run and once
they are here we have the burden of funding state services
that they use. Education costs have been over a billion dollars.
The healthcare cost billions of dollars. Our State is broke, $3.5 billion
deficit and we have many serious decisions to make. One is that we do not
have the money to care for any who are not here legally. It has to
stop.
The border can be secured. We have the technology and we have
the ability to stop this invasion. We must know who is
coming and they must come in an organized manner legally so
that we can assimilate them into our population and protect the
sovereignty of our country. We are a nation of laws. We have a responsibility
to protect our citizens and to protect the integrity of our country
and the government which we live under. I would give
amnesty today to many, but here is the problem, we dare not do this until
the Border is secure. It will do no good to give them amnesty because
thousands will come behind them and we will be over run to
the point that there will no longer be the United States of
America but a North American Union of open borders. I ask
you what form of government will we live under? How long will it be
before we will be just like Mexico , Canada or any of the other Central
American or South American country? We have already lost
our language, everything must be printed in Spanish. We
have already lost our history, it is no longer taught in
our schools, and we have lost our borders.
The leftist media has distorted what SB 1070 will do. It is not
going to set up a Nazi Germany. Are you kidding? The ACLU
and the leftist courts will do everything to protect those
who are here illegally, but it was an effort to try and
stop illegal’s from setting up businesses, and employment, and
receiving state services and give the ability to local law
enforcement when there is probable cause, like a traffic
stop, to determine if they are here legally. Federal law is
very clear, if you are here on a visa you must have your papers on you
at all times. That is the law. In Arizona all you need to show you are a
legal citizen is a driver license, MVD identification
card, Native American Card, or a Military ID. This is what
you need to vote or get a hunting license. So nothing new
has been added to this law. No one is going to be stopped
walking down the street. The Socialists who are in power
in DC are angry because we dare try and do something.The
Socialists wants us to just let them come. They want the “Transformation”
to continue.
Maybe it is too late to save America . Maybe we are not worthy
of freedom anymore. But as an elected official I must try
to do what I can to protect our Constitutional Republic .
Living in America is not a right just because you can walk
across the border. Being an American is a responsibility and it comes by
respecting and upholding the Constitution, the law of our
land, which says what you must do to be a citizen of this
country. FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.
Senator Sylvia Allen .
