stupid twit......

[Migraine]

Well, she talked a good game. Now that we're down to the nut-cuttin', she's on the 20% side of an 80% issue. Nice day's work, Janet.

[Sir Gawain]

Are the Repubs too scared to propose a bill that punishes businesses?

[Ladysmith]

Override possible?

[jw777]

So, she declares a border emergency, then refuses to enforce the law. great job.

[G.Mason]

She was elected in 2002. When is she up again? 2006?

[GoRepGo]

Nothing from this dimwit surprises me. After all she is McCain's righthand man.

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

Make them felons? Heaven forbid! That would then make them ineligible to vote. And that was the whole point of allowing this illegal flow of folks into this country. We never cared if they could fit into society. We just want their vote...

[MNJohnnie]

Another useless Democrat Politician. All tough talk but no action. Same as the Democrats on the National Level. Always the slogans, never the solutions from the Dems

[July 4th]

What about robbing a federally-chartered bank? Is she going to have the local police not arrest those (federal) law breakers either?

...Arizona spends tens of millions of dollars each year in health care and education costs for illegal workers and their families.

To say nothing of the infamous Casa Grande Massacre.

[Lancey Howard]

Napolitano vetoed a bill that would have criminalized the presence of illegal immigrants in Arizona, citing opposition from police agencies

The buck stops.... over there.
Napolitano is a scumbag AND a coward.

[Personal Responsibility]

It is unfortunate that the Legislature has once again ignored the officials who are most directly affected by illegal immigration and instead has passed yet another bill that will have no effect on the problem but that will impose an unfunded burden on law enforcement," Napolitano wrote Monday.

This quote intones that she would have signed the bill had it provded for funding / manpower to combat the problem. I do not live in Arizona and am unfamiliar with its Governor. I see she is a Dem, so I am suspicious of this type of talk.

Would she have passed a funded bill?

[mtbopfuyn]

In a letter to lawmakers, Napolitano said she opposes automatically turning all immigrants who sneaked into the state into criminals...

Janet, honey, if it were legal then they wouldn't have to "sneak" in.

[Kellis91789]

Oh, this is a hoot. Notice how the AP downplayed this ?

"Arizona spends tens of millions of dollars each year in health care and education costs for illegal workers and their families."

Not "tens of millions", more like "billions". The AP wants to SOUND like it has given both sides of the issue, but ends on this note, downplaying the real cost to the taxpayer by orders of magnitude. Just the children of illegals in Arizona are probably costing $3B in public education, school lunch programs, etc.

That money saved -- plus imposing serious fines on employers of illegals -- should provide plenty of funding for law enforcement to drop them off across the border. Behind the shiny new fence Arizona, California, and Texas should build themselves rather than waiting on the Feds.

Remember, the MINIMUM expected of a lawbreaker is to make restitution for the money involved. For employers, that means the fines should be AT LEAST an amount equal to the monetary benefit they received from the illegal workers labor. That would be the difference between what the illegal cost them and what a legal worker would have cost them.

Let them come back legally by going to the back of the line of those already waiting. If a deportee comes back illegally, the second time they are caught should result in a mandatory term of one year at hard labor before being deported.

Remember people. They are not illegal immigrants. They are illegal aliens.

They can also be called "un-uniformed enemy combatants" But that's a bit wordy sometimes.

[Marine Inspector]

Did anyone really believe she wouldn't?

[nicmarlo]

Gov. Janet Napolitano vetoed a bill that would have criminalized the presence of illegal immigrants in Arizona, citing....

Excuses.

[bnelson44]

I wonder if this will effect her reelection.
