As I discussed on FOX News this evening, federal judge David Bury has lifted a restraining order on Arizona’s Prop. 200.

It’s a gratifying (if temporary) win for pro-immigration enforcement activists. Even the Democrat state attorney general, who had publicly opposed the ballot measure, agreed that it was constitutional and dismissed the open-borders lobby’s argument that allowing state and local officials to help enforce our laws was “illegal.”

It’s always ironic and nauseating, of course, to watch the open-borders folks complain about anything being unconstitutional and illegal. Their unabashed agenda is to subvert the rule of law, obliterate our borders, and undermine our sovereignty. The person I debated tonight, Juan Hernandez, told Rep. Tom Tancredo that the North American Southwest “is not two countries; it’s just a region.”

On TV, Hernandez adopts a smiley, benign persona–sounding agreeable, calling everyone “my friend”–but his demeanor cannot camouflage his truly dangerous and radical agenda.

He and his friends are not my friends. Or yours. The question is why President Bush refuses to see the truth.

Meanwhile, back at the border, illegal alien gang members continue to cross into Arizona to do the violent crimes no one else will do. And President Bush’s push for amnesty, Mexican President Vicente Fox’s number one priority, steams ahead.

So, are we two countries? Or just a region? It’s getting harder to tell every day.

No wonder Hernandez is all smiles.
