It wasn’t the same prior to this. Nobody expected the Hispanic Inquisition.
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.
