Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Friday signed a controversial bill that seeks to crack down on illegal immigration.
The sweeping measure will make it a crime under state law to be in the country illegally. It will also require local police officers to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are in the country illegally.
Earlier, President Obama called the bill "misguided" and said it could violate people's civil rights.The bill's Republican sponsor, state Rep. Russell Pearce of Mesa, said Obama and other critics of the bill were "against law enforcement, our citizens and the rule of law."

I was really, really afraid she would chicken out.
I am surprised.
I am glad I was wrong.
Well it's a good way to end a hard week of one bad news story after another... there's still hope at the end of the tunnel ...let's just hope it's not a freight train!!! Good weekend everyone!
your=you’re....sheesh....
Ping!
Waaaaaay to go, Arizona. Way to go!
This is precisely why I want to hear Levinsa take on this...I do not understand Judge Napolitanos take...and I bow to Levins expertise on this one.
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life...

PLEASE don’t call illegal aliens CRIMMINALS! You know what happened this week in California!!
I wonder if Nancy Pelosi will comment on the “swastikaaahs” being displayed on signs by the pro-illegals Fox News just showed protesting Brewer’s TERRIFIC decision?
Time for other states to follow suit.
During her presser, Gov. Brewer mentioned having implemented something yesterday having to do with the Arizona border...does anyone know what she was referring to?
Nancy will say they are patriots even if they wave the Mexican flag or Nazi signs.
It’s about time. The politically correct, open borders crowd is reacting the way one would expect them to react.
“—and bankrupt the state with law suits....”
.
Where will all the money go to? LAWYERS!!!
If people running for office on the state and federal level decide there is political capital in a strong stance against ILLEGAL immigration, the results could shake this country to it’s very core!
But no matter what, expect the hypocrite press-titutes to blame the whole situation on regular working middle class America.
I love how Obama called it irresponsible, it must mean that he fears this bill will be extremely effective at getting rid of his illegal welfare slave voters.
Fellow citizens & compatriots— I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna. I have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man. The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken. I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls.
I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch. The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country.
Victory or Death
