STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Twelve

A RESOLUTION in support of the Arizona immigration law.

Whereas, the people of the State of Arizona have the right of security in their persons, freedoms, employment, financial future, and practice of religion; and

Whereas, the Constitution of the State of Arizona provides the people of Arizona with the right of security in their persons and freedoms; and

Whereas, Arizona did join with the several states in The Constitution for the United States of America to enjoy the security, prosperity, and liberty afforded by such an agreement; and

Whereas, The Constitution for the United States of America guarantees to the several states protection against invasion and domestic violence, those protections being expected of the Federal Government by the people of the State of Arizona; and

Whereas, the borders of the United States of America are being compromised by the illegal entry of immigrants from adjacent countries, that entry compromising the security and prosperity of the several states comprising The United States of America; and

Whereas, it is in the best interest of the State of Arizona to protect its borders and provide security and a strong economy for its citizens; and

Whereas, the security of the several states, of which the State of Arizona is a part, is being threatened by 4 to 10 million illegal aliens that crossed our southwestern border, of which as many as 19,500 illegal aliens are from terrorist countries, the millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, and marijuana that have crossed into the United States from the southern border; and

Whereas, the northward surge of illegal immigrants has now reached the States of Washington, Colorado, Kansas, North Carolina, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire; and

Whereas, the financial future of the several states, of which the State of Arizona is a part, is being threatened by billions of dollars spent on welfare, healthcare, education, and incarceration of illegal aliens each year by state governments; and

Whereas, the intent of this resolution is to support Arizona’s Immigration Law SB1070, that achieves attrition of the presence of illegal aliens through enforcement of their public policy; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the state of New Hampshire fully supports the State of Arizona’s right to protect its borders and citizens; and

That the clerk of the New Hampshire House of Representatives shall forward signed copies of this resolution to the President of the United States of America, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the New Hampshire congressional delegation so that they may be apprised of the sense of the citizens of New Hampshire in this matter.
