Quote of the Day


"John Morton, the Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, should be cleaning out his desk today and joining the ranks of the unemployed. Last week, in a meeting with the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune,Secretary Morton said that if his agency receives referrals of illegal immigrants from Arizona, his office would not necessarily “process” them.

Mr. Morton joins a long list of Obama officials who don’t like the Arizona law but haven’t read the law. He takes it a step further. If Secretary Morton doesn’t like a law, he apparently believes he can ignore it.

America is built on the rule of law. We have entered dangerous waters when an appointee of the Executive branch of government suggests his branch of government may ignore a duly passed law. When a government official embraces lawlessness, he is a threat to the Republic. Fire him now, Mr. President"
