The Arizona legislature has now passed the toughest measure against illegal immigration in the country, authorizing local police to stop and check the immigration status of anyone they suspect of being in the country illegally.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds that 70% of likely voters in Arizona approve of the legislation, while just 23% oppose it.

You can also thank the AZ legislators who gave her a bill to sign.

What’s the next step, after they stop them if they are suspected of being illegal? What do they do next?

[I still care]

There is such a disconnect between what people think and their attitudes about Obama. Everything they disagree with Obama does, and it doesn’t seem to resonant.

I would love to see a more questions in these polls like, Obama has come out against this law. And some choices of how that made people feel - did they change their mind, etc.

I don’t know much about AZ’s internal politics, but how can 70% support this legislation and 47% support open-borders, anti-fence John McCain [of McCain-Kennedy; aka, Amnesty for Illegals] for re-election?

I wake up this morning wondering if what we felt is anything like the typical informed citizen of Virginia prior to April 12th, 1861. What will be our "Fort Sumter"?

Right now, I don't see a reasoned debate from Washington. I see open thuggish threats against the rights of our people to enforce the law as the Federal government is specifically stated to do so, but does not.

We are well within our rights to defend ourselves and our property. This government seems to pit itself against that basic God-given right. I do not see reconciliation with a tyrant who opposes even the most basic ideas of freedom.

What tomorrow brings, God only knows. I will hope for the best but continue to prepare for the worst.

Obama and congress have made it clear that they’re willing and able to impose their will on the American people, democracy be damned. And the real precedent set by Roe v. Wade is that the courts are free to do the same, constitution and precedent be damned. “By the people, for the people and of the people” is obsolete in the eyes of the elitists now in control. The question is whether there’s a tipping point in what the people will tolerate, especially if the elitists decide elections are obsolete.

“You can also thank the AZ legislators who gave her a bill to sign.”

Very true!

Because some Arizona people truly believe McCain’s campaign talk. Many in Arizona really want to believe McCain is their hero. At least that was the case when I lived in AZ during the McCain/Keating issue. Some just don’t want to believe anything bad about him, no matter how much proof is in front of them.

Got it! Thanks.

". . . I’m not a lawyer, . . . "

I'm not a lawyer either, but it seems to me that your
question is the very reason that the Arizona legis-
lature passed the law. The federal government has
claimed that immigration law is under the purview
of the U.S. government. I think Arizona will claim
that the U.S. government has not done it's job
so the state, seeing the necessity to protect itself,
has passed the legislation under the state's right
to do so under the 10th Amendment.

Even McCain is now hustling around and issued a state-
ments endorsing Arizona SB 1070, a turnaround.

I just emailed the AZ governor’s office to let them know that because of their new illegal immigration law, I will be MORE likely to vacation in Arizona. I like to spend my hard earned dollars in states the government of which protects the rights of US citizens and the interests of taxpayers.

"I don’t like this.

Why? Are you in the country illegally?

Yahoo has an article on the protests HERE. I got a laugh out of the Professional Victim Crowd crying doom and gloom on the "dogs living with cats" level.

The real mind-blower was that the Yahoo article is only a day or two old, yet has over 25,000 comments(!!!).
