Debbie Schlussel is a nut case, she is not a source for anything.

Do you even have any idea as to what she's talking about? Arizona only started talking about applying state law to illegal immigrants in the face of federal inaction when one of our former NH state reps and political activists (and retired cop) moved there and jumped into Arizona GOP activism.

In 2005, police in a number of towns brought RSA 635:2 criminal trespass charges against a number of illegal immigrants who were caught breaking other laws - and with whom the immigration authorities couldn't be bothered - on the basis that they were not "licensed or privileged" to "enter or remain in" the United States.

The charge wasn't even a misdemeanor - it was a VIOLATION on the level of a traffic ticket - but Kelly Ayotte slammed the brakes on it by refusing to appeal a court's dismissal of the charge. She then expressly forbade police and local prosecutors to apply the law in this way.

August 24, 2005, NH Union Leader - “Having carefully examined the Court’s decision and the relevant case law, this office has determined that there is an insufficient basis for appeal,” Attorney General Kelly Ayotte wrote in a memo dated Aug. 15. “Accordingly, New Hampshire law enforcement officials should not make future arrests for criminal trespassing based solely on the defendant’s immigration status.”
