Too small for a lawyer. Look up ParaLegal in the phone book.

Jim DeMint of South Carolina and David Vitter of Louisiana introduced an amendment on Wednesday to prohibit federal funding of any lawsuit that aims to invalidate the Arizona law, known as SB 1070.

The legislation is a direct response to the Department of Justice’s suit against the state, which claims that SB 1070 is illegal because it preempts federal authority to police the border.

“States like Arizona shouldn’t be prosecuted for protecting their citizens when the federal government fails to do so,” DeMint said in a statement released to the press. “The federal government is rewarding illegal behavior and encouraging many more to enter our nation illegally when they refuse to enforce our laws. States along the border are facing kidnappings, drug trafficking, human trafficking and gang violence and they have a duty to keep their residents safe. Instead of suing states for doing his job, the president should get serious and stop holding border security hostage to pass amnesty and score points with his liberal base.”

“Poll after poll shows that a significant majority of Americans support increased border enforcement and the Arizona law specifically,” Senator Vitter told The Daily Caller. “Yet the Obama administration has ignored these concerns, and instead of helping Arizona deal with its overwhelming immigration problem, the administration is suing the state. That’s the wrong approach and it shows that stopping illegal immigration is not a priority for this administration.”

The practical result of the DeMint-Vitter amendment would be a prohibition against any action on the part of the Obama administration to participate in lawsuits seeking to prevent Arizona from defending itself against illegal immigration with SB 1070.

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer’s spokesman, Paul Senseman, in an e-mail to The Daily Caller, wrote that while the governor has yet to read the amendment, “Senator DeMint along with several elected Democrats in Arizona strongly disagree with the poor decision of the Obama administration to utilize federal resources for this lawsuit instead of border security.” He continued, “Arizonans have united in a bipartisan fashion against the federal government’s lawsuit and continued inaction on border security.”

The amendment could be voted on next week in conjunction with the small business bill.

Content：In 2009 the Chinese regime tried, unsuccessfully, to force all new computers sold in China to be pre-installed with the filtering software, Green Dam Youth Escort.

The regime claimed the software was to screen out pornographic and violent content from the Internet. Yet it is understood by many that Green Dam is just another extension of China’s so-called “Great Firewall,” screening out key words and dates sensitive to the regime.

After condemnation in China and abroad, and the creation of software for countering Green Dam, called Green Tsunami, the Chinese regime backed down.

They installed Green Dam only on computers in schools and internet cafes.

Now, a year later, the Chinese regime seems to be abandoning the project even further, by cutting funding to the two companies that developed the software, the Beijing Dazheng Human Language Technology Academy and the Jinhui Computer System Engineering Company.

The Beijing Times reported that the offices of Beijing Dazheng had closed down and were locked with a padlock. Yet the general manager of the company refuted the claims, telling state-run China Daily that the office had not closed and employees had not been dismissed.

In May 2009 the Chinese regime paid $6.2 million U.S. dollars to Dazheng and its co-developer for the rights to use Green Dam for one year, but neither company has received any funding since then.

Without state funding, customer services and updates for the Green Dam software are likely to become unavailable. The official website for the software hasn’t been updated for a year, and in the future free downloads may be unavailable too.

In addition, the Chinese regime is facing a $2.2 billion dollar lawsuit from U.S. based Cybersitter. The company which produces internet content filtering software for consumers claims the code they had written was copied into the Green Dam software, infringing on their copyright.
