Oh. My. God. Is Russell Pearce an unwitting agent of Janet Napolitano and her DHS storm troopers?
That's the sense I get from a post on Sonoran Alliance.
[OK, this is strange. For the third time in 2 days, I'm linking to Sonoran Alliance. I hope there are no cosmic repercussions like the unexpected appearance of comets or sunspots.]
Interestingly, the SA post, like the E.J. Montini column I posted about below, brings up a topic I've mentioned here and in the Explorer.
The right wing considers National ID cards to be one of those left wing conspiracies to rob us of our freedoms. Yet they applaud SB1070 which will, in essence, require all Hispanics in Arizona to carry some form of identification which indicates they are in the country legally — a driver's license from a state like Arizona (and unlike New Mexico) that requires proof of legal U.S. residence, or some other type of papers proving their legal status.
Shorter SB1070: If you're white, you're all right. If you're brown, don't come to town without ID in your pocket.
MadArizonan on Sonoran Alliance is worried about this aspect of SB1070.
. . . the right, in its vigor to try to stem the problems of illegal immigration, is actually advancing the leftists agenda of national id and north american integration.

For example, the state of Arizona, has always traditionally resisted handing over data from its law abiding citizens. However, recently under SB1070, the anti-immigration law, SB1070 removes ALL RESTRICTIONS from sending and exchanging license data for ANY LICENSE for ANY PERSON (legal or illegal), with ANY AGENCY of the federal government.

So, whereas Arizona opted out of the federal mandate program called “REAL ID” wherein the federal government attempted to pull data from Arizona to complete its national id database data on Arizona citizens, under SB1070, Arizona turns around and hands Janet Napolitano and G_d only knows who else, including the IRS, all data it has on you as a law abiding Arizona citizen.

Conservatives have ALWAYS opposed national ids, since day 1 when FDR wanted them, in the 1980s, Ronald Reagan was vehemently opposed, in the 1990s the conservatives stopped every Clinton and democrat attempt at creating them.
Now, conservatives are supporting them. Worse, it’s conservatives advancing the leftist globalist agenda, which has always been to number and catalog citizens as a form of control and……..
I would love to hear Russell Pearce respond to this right wing concern. Even he can't say out loud, "Don't worry, you're white, we're not coming after you."
