State of AZ and Illegal Immigration

Whereas, The Constitution Party platform affirms the integrity
of the international borders of these United States and the
Constitutional authority and duty of the federal government
to guard and to protect those borders, including the
regulation of the numbers and of the qualifications of
immigrants into the country; and

Whereas, the Federal Government has wrongfully neglected its
role to guard and protect our borders, and thus all Americans,
from an unprecedented invasion of illegal aliens;

Whereas, the State of Arizona, in the dire straits of enduring
the brunt of most of the illegal crossings of the national
border, has passed Arizona Senate Bill 1070 which was signed
by Governor Jan Brewer on April 23, 2010; and

Whereas, this Arizona law enables its Law Enforcement officers
to enforce federal immigration law using federal standards
protecting the rights of all citizens, and are required to do
so without violating civil rights and without resorting to
racial profiling;

Whereas, the Arizona law does not require new documentation
such as a national ID card, but uses existing identification
documentation to establish a presumption of legal status;

Therefore be it Resolved, that the Constitution Party National
Committee stands with the people of Arizona and applauds the
State of Arizona and its Governor Jan Brewer for its recent
action to protect and defend it citizens, our country, and the
sovereignty of both the State of Arizona and the United States
of America.
