Investors Business Daily: “Abuse Of Power: Our misnamed Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against an Arizona sheriff at the top of the administration’s enemies list. Prosecute border sheriffs and sue states but protect the Black Panthers? Gotcha.”
Law, what laws? We don’t need to enforce no stinking federal immigration laws! USA Today: “The Obama administration is changing the federal immigration enforcement strategy in ways that reduce the threat of deportation for millions of illegal immigrants, even as states such as Arizona, Colorado, Virginia, Ohio and Texas are pushing to accelerate deportations.”
Arizona Republic: “Two federal investigations have concluded that Arizona is violating the 1964 Civil Rights Act by shortchanging thousands of students whose first language is not English. Unless remedied, the violations could lead to a loss of federal funding for education in Arizona.”

The Los Angeles Times reports that Los Angeles County is now spending $1.6 billion a year on only three illegal immigration items:
A Pew Center study found that 2.7 million children of illegal alien parents were born into U.S. citizenship in 2003, but the number rose to 4 million in 2007.
Makes one wonder what the total cost to Los Angeles County is for all illegal immigration related expenses. It’s clear now why LA must oppose Arizona’s illegal immigration law, SB 1070. If Arizona’s law were to go into effect, the law would cause a big increase in illegals moving into LA County instead of going to Arizona. The result would mean the broke county would have to pay many more millions to support the increase in its illegal immigrant population.
Bedbugs are infesting America and its hotels and motels. Before you book a room, you may want to check the bedbug registry to see if anybody has reported a problem at place where you intend to stay. For an in depth story on bedbugs in the U.S., see the New York Times story “They Crawl, They Bite, They Baffle Scientists.” See also a September 4, 2010, editorial in the New York Times called “In Search of a Bedbug Solution.”
“Don’t be too quick to dismiss the common bedbug as merely a pestiferous six-legged blood-sucker.”
USA Today has a bedbug story called “Bedbugs bite pop singer Lauren Hildebrandt in NYC luxury hotel.” See also “The bedbug can breathe easy in Ohio; Feds won’t OK bedbug killer,” “Letting the Bedbugs Bite” and “Bedbug fighters pleading for help,” which states:
“governments have been reluctant to treat the pests as a public problem. ‘The response is just totally inadequate,’ said Susan Jones, an Ohio State University entomologist and member of the Central Ohio Bed Bug Task Force. ‘There has been so little done’.”
