Recently, we did an interview of Sheriff Jones, the popular Southern Ohio personality after he returned from the Arizona border on a fact finding mission regarding the new Arizona Immigration law.

The problem with immigration, especially illegal immigration, is that it’s not just about people seeking a better life in the United States.
As the Sheriff points out, a majority of the illegal drugs in the world go to the United States. And most of that is brought in across the southern border. It can be argued that drug lords are only answering to the demand of the public. But in reality, the drug problem, like many other social problems, are perpetuated by rival economic powers to undermine the strength of our nation and culture. So just because there is a demand, the merit of that demand is an internal issue that must be dealt with.
In the mean time under the Tenth Amendment, Arizona has a right, and obligation to create a law to stop the terrible effects of illegal immigration. And the President of the United States has absolutely no right, or authority to question it. To do so is an abuse of power. And anyone that thinks otherwise does not understand how America is supposed to be running.
