JACKSONVILLE BEACH — As he fought to keep his underfinanced bid for governor from falling apart this summer, Attorney General Bill McCollum has been able to lean on one base of Republican support: Hispanic voters.

But now that polls suggest McCollum's campaign has pulled into a statistical dead heat with Naples millionaire Rick Scott, he is taking a big risk by launching a hard-edged Arizona-style immigration policy that is ostracizing some of his top Latino backers.

Sounds like the LameStream Media know this is going to have teeth, and they’re scared crapless!

Libs always tell us what they fear. :)

If the Latinos are offended by the Arizona law screw them.

I am not sure I believe that, and I know I don’t accept the premise. I think this is one of those cases where the journalists are trying to affect public policy and politics instead of report on it. Also THEY ARE SCARED OUT OF THEIR MINDS of the immigration issue.

Are they saying that Latinos are against the rule of law?

They are trying to tell us that Americans of hispanic heritage condone lawlessness? Are they even attempting to say that Cuban Americans want the US to become like Mexico and Cuba? I don't think so.

Legal immigrants as well as American of hispanic heritage have the most to lose by the invasion of illegals. People are getting short tempered and testy about the issue and will soon take it out on everyone.

Help Texas watch her borders.
Watch live on 14 cameras and report illegal alien invaders.
Night cams in operation

Does it work? Yes.
Best time to catch them is at night.
Recently caught on cam and reported:
String of illegals running through brush with backpacks
Numerous sightings of boats crossing the river
Numerous vehicles late at night in isolated areas
IMMENSELY satisfying

Yup! It’s great to see this going on. I believe this is why these states came out so quick with their “boycotts” against Arizona. They knew SB1070 was going to have an effect on them. And it is!
