There is a highly ignored fact of life our nation likes to ignore: America holds many people who we don’t have any knowledge about. People walk among us, almost as invisible as the wind, with no identification cards, numbers or notice of their existence. This is as much a danger as our overseas enemies because they do not need any powerful weapons to destruct; they are in our own backyard.
As a nation, we have a right to demand the identification of every human that calls America home. Further, being in a time of war means we should formally and strongly insist even further that every man, woman and child is accounted for and known about.
One action toward this need is an Arizona bill known as SB 1070. Through the most major avenues of illegal immigration from transporting to employing, this bill is literally a blanket covering all aspects whose holes threaten our security and safety.
Of course, recently much protest has resulted regarding this legislation which would among other things require immigrants to show identification when requesting work and begins to evade day laborers’ abilities.
Despite any revolt, one thing is certain: At least now we are starting to discuss this issue. Fully examined, many can see SB 1070 as nothing more than an ability to ensure the right identification is obtained and used by our nation’s inhabitants. Further, this states from the beginning it is to ensure pre-existing laws regarding immigration are strengthened and enforced in addition to the new laws it enacts.
Many needed abilities are withheld in this legislation. Not only does it open lines of communication regarding state officials and governmental agencies, but also requires illegal aliens who break laws to be punished to the furthest extent by every law enforcement organization including Customs Enforcement or ICE.
Despite the description of this being no more than a knee-jerk reaction to the brutal murder of rancher Robert Krentz, with an increasingly anti-border president, we have seen more that the issue of illegal aliens has to fall on the states; especially those who lie on the borders. The Arizona-Mexico border has been a risk to the nation and has even gone as far as to be called “out of control” by organizations such as the Arizona Cattleman’s Association. Reaction to the highest extent is required and hence this bill was created.
If anything, it revamps a sector of society that should be discussed about more: Illegal aliens. It restricts the ability to enter our country illegally, a regulation already on the books and has and will continue to be legally enforced by law. Immigration is one of the pillars to this nation. However, we do have the right to know who is calling our land home.
Oh man, the libturds will have a cow. In fact, they might birth a whole herd.
Yep. Get ‘er done.
I would assume only those residing in AZ and they can move to CA if they don't like it.
Isn't federalism wonderful?
Our great leader has already pronounced it evil and intends to “examine” the bill, no doubt to see if he can make it go away. Since the federal government refuses to protect the southern border the border states will have to handle things themselves.

Which brings us back to the question of the guy who takes showers in the WH. Who is he? Where does he come from? How did he get where he is in such a short time? Who are his handlers? Are he and OBL on a first name basis?
Hey, any of you congresscritters care to know? Didn’t you swear to defend and to protect the Constitution? Don’t you have family whose future you like to safeguard, or is it just your own careers that concern you?
I disagree completely.
America does NOT need “citizenship papers”, REAL ID, biometric computer dossiers, to be fingerprinted, retinal scanned, voice printed, indexed, databased, no-fly listed, child support listed, e-Verify listed, sex offender listed, in ever greater accumulation of defective data by every federal agency and many of our corporations.
That is not liberty or freedom. That is living in a fish bowl surrounded by predator fish. That is how people lived in East Germany, with every other citizen a spy for the secret police.
It is a rotten, horrible way to live. Much of the data is corrupt, and it takes years of misery to get it fixed, if ever. Errors are self-correcting, however, and keep re-contaminating your files as soon as they have been cleaned.
We made it 175 years without that crap, before the powers that be decided it would be easier for *them* if every one of *us* was plastered with ID numbers, all the better to tax and control us.
And like every other stupid system, it is never enough. If there is just one...more...way of dehumanizing us, then *everything* will be easy for them. It never is.
Well said.
What we need is a wall, 2,000, miles long and 20 feet high topped with razor wire, on our southern border, with adequate patrols, in order to stop the invasion.
Done with less costs than the trillion$ already spent by obama and his minions.
The alternative would be to continue the status quo and allow our country to be completely overrun by illegal aliens?
I agree with you in principle, but what else can we do? The “Great Wall” of America is not going to happen so what should be done?
Just askin’ ;-)
How and when do they check legal status? Do they check everyone who is arrested for a crime of some sort, and add charges based on illegal status? Or do they just pick people out, stop them and check their status? Because the first one isn’t really a problem to me. The second is a big problem.
All one has to do is look at 0 to understand the dangers of giving government, state or federal, and even local, more powers over the people. It may catch a few illegals, but it puts all real Americans freedom at risk.
They need to make it a Felony punishable by 5-10 years in a penitentiary to employ an illegal, that would dry the swamp real quick!
as long as its a felony prison cuz the st of az can’t afford to incarcerate them
oops i meant federal
No it wouldn’t. They get free housing, food stamps and medical care, now.
illegals don’t get fs
federal = felony
works for me :-)
yeah well the bill means its a misdemeanor
He says the feds must stop this now or else it will be cropping up all over the place.
WELL ..............................YEAH.....and.....DUH Uhbama, why in the HECK don't you hold to your oath of office and PROTECT the ranchers on our land instead of breaking into a stinky sweat over people illegally here who are KILLING Americans and BRINGING DRUGS into our nation?
Oh, and btw you pompous wussy, STATES HAVE RIGHTS!
