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.

Go check in with Canada, see if they’ll lick your butt as good as 0’b will.
Check the definition of “crime” then compare with legislation on the matter. You’d be surprised.
>>”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.””
You should make yourself aware that:
1. Illegal entry is a CRIME.
2. Except in rare cases, every Illegal alien either engages in serial felonies, or is supported by the same.
3. Those who employ illegal aliens ALSO engage in those felonies.
4. Pretending that these felonies do not exist leads to “Sanctuary Cities,” wherein many crimes are winked at, provided that the perpetrator is an illegal alien.
5. This de facto amnesty has become a cancer, eating away at the rule of law.
6. Apparently, Latinos are only about HALF of the illegal aliens in the US.

Really?
I say that because the words I chose to use to describe who this is unconstitutional came right from the pen of Chief Justice John Roberts USSC.
When he spoke about the SUpreme Court's Terry jurisprudence, which has always been applied that a suspect has always had the right to refuse to answer questions put to him by police officers during a Terry stop. And the Fifth Amendment privilege have always attached during custodial interrogations, regardless of the reasoning for the questioning. Once the police detained a suspect for any reason, be it under the reasonable suspicion standard for a brief investigation. Or probable cause to arrest. The 5th amendment applies. As well as, absent probable cause to arrest or seek a warrant any search is also unconstitutional.
Cite the USC on this?
Citation?
That's not just a stop on public right of way.
He is a Democrat and this is his second term as mayor. He wanted to run for third term but backed off that.
8 U.S.C. § 1325 and the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965.
Why do you assume the State will set up an immigration office and deport offendors themselves rather than just hand over the illegals to the Feds? Mark
And I am done with you. Nothing you have posted has been worth a damn. Adios, in the parlance of your favored nationality.
Last time I checked there were a lot of Seniors and Kids living in Mexico. Why can’t the illegal alien Mexicans live there like all the other Mexicans do?
Again, that's an implied power, at best, for the federal government. When it comes to "implied powers" there can be Constitutional clauses that simply nullify those powers.
We don't exactly have that here but the 10th amendment does clearly indicate that the states could be in charge of both immigration and deportation!
LMAO -it is obvious where you are coming from on this...
Save your racist premised arguments for the leftists...
Oh the humanity!!!!

Another Demorat crying lies!!
President Obama is IMPEACHABLE now.
You cited the current FEDERAL LAW IN EXISTENCE he swore to execute when he took his oath of office as the nation's chief enforcement of lack of mental reservation and purpose of evasion.
If he wants to work with the Congress to scrap the law or revise it, that is his prerogrative and he can get out there on the bully pulpit circuit and say what he wants to say. But as a sitting President to oppose US law and its execution, puts him in violation of the Constitution. To come down on the state of Arizona because they have as a state taken action which is in agreement with standing Federal Law, and the president will NOT enforce the law, HE IS IN VIOLATION OF HIS OATH.
I would be a visitor, if I went to Phoenix (or Tucson, Flagstaff, Prescott) again.
It would be an honor to be asked for and to show my papers.
I doubt they would pick me to question, what with my gringo zapatas, and all.
I once lived long term in Europe (legally), and dressed, acted and even tried to speak like a native. Shoes and haircut were the two most obvious tells.
I can pick out people who have recently arrived from south of the US border by their dress, if they make no attempt to dress like gringos and legal Americans of hispanic origins.
Shoes again are the most obvious tell.
So will they call that “fashion profiling.”
