Currently there are two statewide policies regarding sanctuary for illegal aliens: In May 2003, Alaska's state legislature passed a joint resolution prohibiting state agencies from using resources or institutions for the purpose of enforcing federal immigration laws.
In 1987, Oregon passed a law that prohibits state and local law enforcement agencies from using agency moneys, equipment or personnel for the purpose of detecting or apprehending foreign citizens based on violation of federal immigration law. Oregon law, however, does permit their law enforcement officers to exchange information with federal authorities to verify the immigration status of an individual arrested for criminal offenses.

Buy any Arizona Diamondbacks tickets in your area unless they are visiting a sanctuary city team. Then protest that team when the Diamondbacks aren't in town. Sanctuary city teams include
San Diego Padres Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim Los Angeles Dodgers Baltimore Orioles San Francisco Giants Chicago Cubs Chicago White Sox Detroit Tigers Minnesota Twins Houston Astros New York Yankees New York Mets
If anyone knows different products made in Arizona, I know Ruger firearms has a plant in Prescott, AZ
I just booked a bird watching vacation in SE Arizona for late July! Staying near the Huachuca mountains.
Join the boycott against Arizona Ice Tea. I heard that one group started a boycott against Arizona Ice Tea, which prompted a public statement from the company that they are not an Arizona company. They claim NY. So join the boycott.

Boycott these cities too.
Now, THIS is worth the effort! We have to hit these dim bulbs in the pocket books, it’s the only thing they understand. The open border’s crowd is one of the best funded special interests going...mostly funded with tax dollars....Congress gave a million to La Raza last year, sponsored by a dem and a Repub.
And since Mexico is all twisted out of shape, DON’T buy anything from there, either!
BTW...Jackson & Perkins (Harry & David corp)is between Medford and Ashland, Oregon -BOTH sanctuary cities...H & D is one of the largest mail order houses in the country, owned by the Japanese and hires illegal aliens ALL the time.
Many they hire are on work visas, green cards...and get this.....they work 6 months during the busiest season and draw unemployment the other 6 months and don’t even have to look for work, because they have NO skills or can’t speak English. I’ve seen it all first hand doing business with all the above.

BUYCOTT??
Was that inadvertent or on purpose? You may have just invented a new word.
Let’s boycott the sanctuaries and MLB and BUYcott Arizona.

Not too hot, though. Yes, I am a pansy. :-)
Thanks for the heads up! We are going to Arizona for vacation in the next couple of months..

What we have is akin to this —
Warning - If you can read this whole story without laughing out loud, then you need to develop a sense of humor.
Note: Please take time to read this slowly. If you pay attention to the first two judges, the reaction of the third judge is even better.
For those of you who have lived in Arizona, you know how true this is.
They actually have chili cook-offs. For our employees it’s at the annual Company picnic. It takes up a major portion of an area at the Sierra Vista Veterans city park.
The notes are from an inexperienced chili taster named Frank, who was visiting from the Corporate head offices back east, way back east.
Frank: “Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cooking contest. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge’s table asking for directions to the Coors Light truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (native Arizonans) that the chili wouldn’t be all that spicy and, besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted.” Here are the scorecards from the advent: (Frank is Judge #3)
Chili # 1 Eddie’s Maniac Monster Chili...
Judge # 1 — A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick.
Judge # 2— Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
Judge # 3 — (Frank) What the hell is this stuff?! You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put out the flames.
I hope that’s the worst one. These Arizonans are crazy!
Chili # 2 Austin’s Afterburner Chili...
Judge # 1 — Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang.
Judge # 2— Exciting BBQ flavor; needs more peppers to be taken seriously.
Judge # 3 — Keep this out of the reach of children. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face.
Chili # 3 Ronny’s Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili...
Judge # 1 — Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick.
Needs more beans. Judge # 2 — A beanless chili, a bit salty, good use of peppers.
Judge # 3 — Call the EPA. I’ve located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I’m getting sh*t faced from all of the beer...
Chili # 4 Dave’s Black Magic...
Judge # 1 — Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
Judge # 2 — Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish, or other mild foods; not much of a chili.
Judge # 3 — I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Sally, the barmaid, was standing behind me with fresh refills. That 300-lb. woman is starting to look HOT...just like this nuclear waste I’m eating! Is chili an aphrodisiac?
Chili # 5 Lisa’s Legal Lip Remover...
Judge # 1 — Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive.
Judge # 2 — Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
Judge # 3 — My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead, and I can no longer focus my eyes. I ripped ass and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I’m burning my lips off. It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw those rednecks.
Chili # 6 Pam’s Very Vegetarian Variety...
Judge # 1 — Thin, yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spices and peppers.
Judge # 2 — The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb.
Judge # 3 — My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulphuric flames. I sh*t myself when I farted and I’m worried it will eat through the chair! No one seems inclined to stand behind me anymore.
I need to wipe my ass with a snow cone.
Chili # 7 Carla’s Screaming Sensation Chili...
Judge # 1 — A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.
Judge # 2 — Ho-hum; tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. **I should take note that I am worried about Judge #3. He appears to be in a bit of distress, as he is cursing uncontrollably.
Judge # 3 — You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn’t feel a thing. I’ve lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava to match my shirt. At least during the autopsy, they’ll know what killed me. I’ve decided to stop breathing; it’s too painful. Screw it; I’m not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I’ll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach.
Chili # 8 Karen’s Toenail Curling Chili...
Judge # 1 — The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili. Not too bold, but spicy enough to declare its existence.
Judge # 2 — This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither mild, nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge # 3 farted, passed out, fell over, and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself.
Not sure if he’s going to make it. Poor fella, wonder how he’d have reacted to really hot chili?
MUST TRY:
Chicken lettuce wraps---out of this world.
Crispy String Beans---tempura coated, served with an exquisite sauce.
Double Pan Noodles: combo of cooked and crisp noodles in a delicious sauce.
Kung Pao Chicken: chunks of chicken w/ peanuts and chilis.
