So do we or do we NOT uphold our immigration laws?

By Steve Collier, Colorado Springs

It seems like a no-brainer to me; we have a Constitution, we have rules and laws each of us obey and we all know there are consequences for breaking or not following those laws.

By Dept. of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano must live in an alternate dimension. During an interview with CNN's John King this past weekend, the secretary had this to say on illegal immigration:

"What we have to do is target the real evil-doers in this business, the employers who consistently hire illegal labor, the human traffickers who are exploiting human misery. And yes, when we find illegal workers, yes, appropriate action, some of which is criminal, most of that is civil, because crossing the border is not a crime per se. It is civil. But anyway, going after those as well."

Ok, you read that right, right? It's not a crime, per sa, it's a civil situation when illegal aliens cross the border. And she clearly said "most of that is civil." ARE YOU SERIOUS? Do these people live in a warped society ruled by the Wizard of Oz with unicorns as the main transportation source? Jesus... we are driving right off a cliff into Janet's old Grand Canyon territory (watch out for illegals in the canyon below). As reported by the National Review, here's a little reminder for those out there "confused" about our federal law:

Section 1325 of the federal immigration laws (Title 8, U.S. Code), makes it a misdemeanor on a first offense and a felony thereafter

I don't make it up... I really think these politicians just make stuff up as they go. Or whatever the latest poll says.

You be the judge... oh wait, you can't because it's FEDERAL LAW! ... read here.
