Arizona Governor Signs Controversial Immigration Bill
Fox News Reporting ^ | 04/23/2010

Posted on 04/23/2010 2:11:09 PM PDT by JimBobWay

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."

Did you see Janet Nepolotinos spot with Major Garrett - she says that the border is now better controlled than in any other time in history - and she said it with a straight face.

I.e. - “The system worked.”

My problem with illegal aliens is this. Their ‘I’m entitled or else’ attitude reminds me TOO much of some of my own relatives. They’ll use you, move into your house, eat your food and BITCH if you dare ask anything of them.
I managed to finally get rid of that bunch, but it wasn’t pleasant and it won’t be pleasant for Arizona either, but it MUST be done or the entire house will fall, just as mine would have if I’d continued to give compassion to those who didn’t deserve it in the first place.

Illegal immigration is simply more ‘share the wealth’ socialism.

Judge Napolitano said this will be determined to be unConstitutional—and bankrupt the state with law suits....I am VERY interested to hear Mark Levins take on this issue.

Which just means that Judge Napolitano just outed himself on the issue of Illegal Immigration more than anything else.

Just another RINO along with the Beltway Boys, and many others on FoxNews.

I agree, TX should be the first state to follow suit. And after that the remaining 55 states.

(Didn’t our dear leader say that he counted a total of 57 states?)

Can someone post the e-mail addy for Gov. Brewer? If so, please post it and let’s flood and bombard her inbox with our thanks.

There’s still hope for this great country.

They don’t really need to. OK made it so difficult for illegals starting Jan. ‘08 that they all self-deported without costing the state a dime. Effectively, OK said, “You’ve got to go. We don’t care where, but you’ve got to go.” So, they went - to Texas and Arizona. TX and AZ should’ve implemented that same plan. It feels to me as if they’re all here in MN.

Grandpappy told my pappy
Back in my day, son
A man had to answer
For the wicked thing he done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall oak tree
Round up all of them bad boys
And hang ‘em high in the street
For all the people to see

And justice is the one thing
You should always find
You gotta saddle up your boys
You gotta draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles
We’ll sing a victory tune
And we’ll all meet back
At the local saloon

——Toby Keith

uh... that was the same time that AZ implemented employer sanctions. They were leaving AZ at the same time. GA also tightened their laws. They didn’t go to AZ, they went home or to TX.

The left is already talking about boycotting AZ.

I’ll have to make sure to take my next vacation there. Always wanted to go anyway. This way it’ll be so much more fun!
