June 28, 2012 Rush Limbaugh: Obama Refuses to Enforce the Border "I said yesterday on this program that the Obama regime told Arizona to drop dead. Last night on Fox News on the Greta Van Susteren show, the governor of Arizona, Jan Brewer -- we admire Jan Brewer here -- went on Fox News and she said, "The Obama administration told Arizona to drop dead," and that is exactly what's happened. This is unbelievable. I don't know how this guy is going to get over 20% of the vote in November. I don't believe what is happening in this country. I literally can't believe it, folks," Rush Limbaugh said earlier this week. "He's now written off the state of Arizona. Arizona was a state that was in play. I don't even understand why, but it was a state that was in play according to all the experts and all the presidential polling data. Well, not any longer! Arizona is... He doesn't care. To intimidate Arizona law enforcement officials, Obama further set up a hotline to complain when illegals are apprehended!"
New Poll Shows Obama Support Hurt by Supreme Court Decision "The Quinnipiac polls in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania show that, while most voters still like the policy and Obama continues to lead Mitt Romney in all three states, the opposition to the move appears to be significantly more motivated by it -- particularly in the two Midwestern states. In both Ohio and Pennsylvania, more than twice as many respondents say the decision makes them less likely to support the president (27 percent in both) as say it makes them more likely to back him (12 percent in Pennsylvania, 11 percent in Ohio)," the Washington Post notes. "Either way, though, it's clear that the decision has hardly led independents to rally around the president, and even Democrats aren't super motivated by it; just one in five Democrats in both Ohio and Pennsylvania say it makes them more likely to support Obama."
Local Police Play A Role in Many Deportations "State and local police across the country didn't need the U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding Arizona's "show me your papers" immigration law to begin turning people over to the federal government for deportation. Since late 2007, they have helped identify nearly 20 percent of the nation's 1.6 million deportations--a trend that will likely accelerate," the AP reports. "The Obama administration plans to expand to every jurisdiction a program in which local police share fingerprints of those accused of breaking the law for federal officials to identify those they want to put into deportation proceedings."
States Consider How to Revise Laws After Supreme Court Verdict "Now that the Supreme Court has ruled on Arizona's immigration law, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta has told lawyers involved in lawsuits challenging Alabama and Georgia immigration laws for their opinion on the impact of the High Court's decision," says Fox News Latino. "In Oklahoma, one state lawmaker vowed to resurrect a proposal cracking down on illegal immigration. Last year, Sen. Ralph Shortey sponsored legislation that would have allowed police to confiscate property belonging to undocumented immigrants. The Oklahoma City Republican said he would "absolutely" resurrect that proposal, adding that the Supreme Court ruling -- in his view -- says states can enforce immigration laws."
