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.

If they are here illegally, then they should be arrested no matter what their age.
His civil attorneys earn more than county and state do. Don’t know if that helps with recruiting better gov’t attys but I did hear he’s gonna challege the law.
Let’s face it, the problem is the fact that this has been going on for 25 or more years and the horse is long out of the barn. This is going to be a painful, ugly experience to correct the problem with lots of errors and name calling (and worse) on both sides. At least with the braceros program after WWII the laws were enforced and although it took time, were effective. The other problems are the amount of fraud (stolen or misused SS numbers), medical, educational and social benefits granted to illegals that cost the taxpayers 100’s of billions of dollars over the past 25 years and the cost of housing illegals in prisons, etc. If we could send them all back, and send the bill to their respective countries, great, but it’s probably not going to happen. If the U.S. sealed the border, and employers didn’t look the other way, and the public sector didn’t allow these people access to medical and educational benefits they weren’t allowed, they wouldn’t be here. There’s plenty of people to blame, but in the meantime, it’s time to start fixing the problem and there is going to be a helluva of a lot of screaming, pain, mistrust and yes, probably violence. Get ready for it. It’s like letting the cancer get to Stage 4 and you finally realize drastic action has to occur or the patient (the U.S. of A. as we knew it) is about to die.
It is way too soon to see how this is going to play out, but the state may find itself caught between a rock and a hard place by either not profiling and hassling a lot of Anglo and black citizens who don’t carry proof of being citizens with the result of a great outcry to rescind the law, or profiling and concentrating on Hispanics with similar problems of hassling the innocent and inviting court intervention. If I’m intent on passing through and I’m a gringo, is a driver’s license going to be enough or am I wise to get a certified birth certificate?
You need a tissue, I have a violin...let’s boogie!
Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon is an ID-10-T!
OK this is easy even for a far lefty dumb arse.
they are here ILLEGALLY they know they are ILLEGAL, they KNOW they are in violation of the law and therefore they know they can be arrested for breaking the law
is it any wonder why the country looks at the far left as uneducated and stupid.
I came here LEGALLY, I RESPECTED the LAW, I knew I shpould be LEGAL or I would be ARRESTED.
I waited to have kids until I was staying here and waited to have some money so I do not have to wait for the Govt to bring my KIDS up
Mayor.
If you cannot understand or have the law enforced then you need to step down

...we should be sure to use a swift, sharp axe.
Most recently, the Mayor has engaged in a verbal dispute with Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio over issues related to illegal immigration.
Gordon sweeps mayor’s race, sales tax increase passes

It’s been said in political circles that Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon has been under a tremendous amount of stress in both his personal and public lives.
Gordon has also come under scrutiny for the way he’s been conducting business in the Mayor’s Office, namely by entangling his girlfriend with official matters.
Gordon has also come under scrutiny for the way he’s been conducting business in the Mayor’s Office, namely by entangling his girlfriend with official matters.
When city officials provided some of the same public records last year, the calendar revealed that on at least two occasions, Gordon’s girlfriend Elissa Mullany was the contact person for a dinner between the mayor and Phoenix developer Steve Ellman.
While Mullany was working for Ellman and dating Gordon, Ellman sat in on economic-development presentations in the mayor’s office. A few employees where there, including the director of the city’s Community and Economic Development Department. Mullany was also at the September 23 meeting.
Ellman also was part of a Phoenix delegation that went to Mexico City to explore investment options. They met with the Secretary of Foreign Affairs in Mexico City and later with a family member of Mexico billionaire Carlos Slim.

Mayor Phil Gordon’s girlfriend landed on mega-Phoenix developer Steve Ellman’s payroll in 2009, political insiders confirm.
Elissa Mullany, who started dating Gordon in early 2008, spent time in City Hall arranging meetings and making phone calls on behalf of Ellman. Gordon directed staffers to “tell Elissa to do this” or “tell her not to do that” because Ellman is going to be calling her, a source tells New Times.
Records also show that Ellman was included in meetings with foreign dignitaries and tagged along with Gordon on at least one trip to Mexico.
On July 28, Ellman and Gordon met with Abdullah Saleh Al Jum’ah, the CEO of Saudi Arabia at the Royal Palms Resort and Spa. And during a trip to Mexico City on September 29, Gordon apparently met up with Ellman, according to his calendar.
During that trip, Gordon, and presumably Ellman, met with family members of Mexico billionaire Carlos Slim.
Gordon repeatedly has touted these trips as a way to grease the wheels for foreign investments to come to Phoenix. But the ties between Gordon, Mullany, and Ellman raise questions about the true motivation behind his globetrotting.

That said, I wonder if the libs will deliberately set up some bogus arrests to gin up their case.
Nah, they ‘d never do anything underhanded. Shame on me.
However sympathetic the mayor may be to “undocumented” immigrants, he does raise technical questions which will have to be answered. The outcry will be great if “innocents who can’t readily prove it” are apprehended in large numbers.
how on earth can it be unconstitutional when the laws is the law and needs to be enforced?
Buses of born American Hispanics carrying no ID come to mind.
must be nice to live in those ivory white towers or nice all white gated expensive communsities where you don;t see the real world, maybe the judge could get out of where he is and see how people down south live in fear and how they trash the enviroment .
funny how the loon thick left talk about saving the planet but ignore all the trash the illegals leave on their travels
I would like to se Obama’s “papers”
Simple, cut off all food stamps, welfare, and medical care, and housing to any illegals and imprison anyone hiring an illegal!
They either die or go home!
Same can be said of laws against robbing banks.
Stealing cars can put seniors and kids at risk of being arrested.
Effective barriers at the border are lacking. Arizona couldn’t erect them if it wanted to — that’s a fedguv bailiwick, and it’s clear the Obamanation is bent on wink and nod.
