A flurry of bills designed to crack down on illegal immigration in Arizona could penalize many Valley employers and recruit armed volunteers to patrol the state's border with Mexico.

The measures would achieve a dual purpose: checking the flow of undocumented workers while saving the lives of those who lost their way in the Sonoran Desert.

Yes, I'm feeling a bit more "mean-spirited and divisive" than usual tonight.

It sounds like there is a breath of common sense in Arizona-- a state is doing what the federal government refuses to do-- protect our borders!

As for the construction companies who can't find workers-- you might try offering another dollar per hour. You can pass it on to your customers who just might have extra money to spend when their taxes aren't paying for bennies for illegal aliens.

As for the illegal aliens-- it isn't far to move to California and the bennies are a lot better.

...You can pass it on to your customers ...

The ones building the big expensive homes are the ones that came from LIBERAL LALA Land in the first place; so why not sock 'em for a few extra bucks.

Notice how none of the 'bots show up on these threads?

Jesus, I could post nude photos of Dubya's daughters here and none of them would even complain or criticize the artistic composition.

I love it when I find a subject I can dance all over with my spurs on.

Don't worry, the RINO Open Borders lobby will be along shortly, to provoke a flame war and get this news banished.

No wait, it would be a lynching! Genocide!

"I don't know what would I do if I can't work,"

Go home.

Estevan Vargas, who goes to the day-labor center in northeast Phoenix every day to wait for prospective employers, said he could be out of work if the bill is signed into law.

"There is no other way for me to earn money and send it back to my family in Mexico," said Vargas, 52, who came to Phoenix about five months ago. "Taking my job away would be like taking food away from me and my family."

If he's here legally he has no problem. If he's here illegally he has no right to be alive. Deport him or execute him as an un-uniformed enemy combatant

"It would be easy for these people to shoot us," said Javier Estrada, 35, an undocumented worker who has crossed the border illegally at least 13 times during the past decade. "They could simply say they confused us with animals. It would be very intimidating."

Why is this un-uniformed enemy combatant still alive? I hope that the border squads get a lot of target practice in. Remember the three S's though. Don't need to document undocumented targets.

I firmly believe that assault on our borders should be a capital offense. I also believe that execution should be performed as near to the border as possible. In fact, if the local landowners don't mind donating some land for a buffer zone, I'd fully support an anti-personnel mine field along the entire stretch of the border.
