Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon says seniors, kids and out-of-staters should be wary of the Arizona immigration bill signed into law this past week -- warning that it puts them at risk of being arrested.
The law makes illegal immigration a state crime. It gives police the authority to question people about their immigration status and arrest those who cannot show documentation to establish their legal residency.

So your purported scenario is unprecedented.
You know the author of this bill, State Senator Russell Pearce from Mesa is a big Ron Paul supporter too right?
Now that doesn't mean you can't go find some Leftwingtard judge who will do a laying on of hands ceremony, then pronounce his latest epiphany about the warm and fuzzies emanating from the little brown foreign people ~ which is pretty close to what's going to happen.
Still, the very first enforcement action involved a coyote yesterday with a truckload of illegals being imported to Arizona in a truck weaving back and forth across the road.
People's lives were saved.
Still, we know the Leftwingtard judges and their running dog lackeys don't care about saving lives ~ they're all good for a 100 babies a day minimum, so what's a couple of dozen Mexicans eh.
Until the Congress has the nads to bump up the act of coming uninvited into America to the level of some kind of crime, there won’t be any legal basis of acting against “sanctuary cities.”
Also check out the Paul net sites.
Also on the dailyPaul is a link to Judge Napolitano’s moving speech on the Libertarian cause and Ron Paul’s campaign to quote one of the PaulBots.
Ron Paul has also voted for Amnesty and against military at the border.
SO? If we travel to Arizon just carry your ID and maybe a copy of your BC showing you were born here. If you are a naturalized citizen carry your papers and ID. Simple and easy. I wish the dofusses would quite trying to make trobuel where there is none.
u r an ID-10-t
These “obvious cases” would have been caught anyhow. It’s when it’s pressed to the “less obvious cases” — making the law more than symbolic — that the problems will come
keep reading my comments in this thread
Right you are! All of a sudden, "The Judge" feigns concern about the Republican party....lol.
No he’s probably p*ssed that the law takes away his city’s sanctuary status.
Libertarians split into both sovereignty and non-sovereignty camps.
No, of course it wasn’t the same. The federal government and Napolitano fought to keep the illegal pouring in across the borders to recreate the new Democrat Party because they knew they were losing the old one.
The Arizona enforcement of immigration is the best thing that could happen to this country because it will force the feds to admit that they don’t want to close the borders and don’t intend to. If the feds had done their job and protected the borders the state of Arizona would not have to enforce immigration laws after the fact.
Anyone stopped by the police in an other than an informal contact has to provide ID now. This changes nothing on that front. Legal immigrants are required by Federal law to carry their ‘papers’ with them now. So this law doesn’t change anything on that either.
What it does change is local police can now actively assist in thwarting the illegal immigration epidemic that ravages this state. Best estimates put the illegal population in this state at 460k. That is nearly 1 in 10. Since illegals have already broken two laws just by being here, it stands to reason that they aren’t going to bother obeying many of the rest, are they?
I take it you have never heard of Reconquista. Those against this law want to throw Americans out of the American Southwest in order to create a ‘homeland’ called Aztlan that supposedly existed in the past. It never did, and hopefully never will. But with you supporting the illegals, it may.
I support this law. I am not ashamed of this. But if you are going to call me a NAZI, well, we then have a problem that isn’t readily solvable.
Oh, and I note you don’t live anywhere near the border. Come on down for a spell. You will get an education.
One never needed to treat a trip to Arizona as though it were a (decade or more ago) trip to Canada. Until now.
No such admission will need to be made in their court actions.
looks like he went off the reservation.
“These “obvious cases” would have been caught anyhow. It’s when it’s pressed to the “less obvious cases” — making the law more than symbolic — that the problems will come”
Or after the first wrongful imprisonment case when an American citizen who happens to be Hispanic is arrested for no other reason than being Hispanic and not having an ID on their person.
None of them are "hard cases" at all.
I think the concern is the one best expressed by this lady on TV yesterday who claims she's a Bishop of some kind: "Our ministers, preachers and rabbis in our churches and synagogues tell us they have members who fear being detained".
SYNAGOGUES? People in synagogues ~ valid members ~ fear being detained because they presumably don't carry IDs of any kind?
There's a lot of phoney baloney going around regarding this law ~ that it targets Jews is a part of that.
If Mexican Jews belong to synagogues in Arizona, then what about those Jews who were being burned at the stake in Mexico in the 1840s? I thought all but a handful of Mexican Jews abandoned that country over that issue, and those who remain live mostly in Juarez (and presumably own helicopters for quick exits if necessary).
All of which takes us to the point of "what people fear", and I hope they "fear a lot of stuff" and return to their country and help it join civilization again.
