Border State news...no more sanctuary policies for illegals away from the actual borders...at least in Arizona.
As others have said, though, LaGubernadora is likely to veto it.
She is of impeachable character.
No one is suggesting that police and sheriffs deputies sweep the cities for illegal aliens. However when they come into contact with illegal alien bad actors in the normal course of their duties they must be allowed to use all available tools including immigration enforcement to protect the community. I am not suggesting that they must in every case take an illegal alien into custody i.e. if the alien is a witness or victim of a crime the officer must have discretion. The local beet cops know who the bad guys are that even the other illegal aliens dont want around.
This will enhance not detract from their primary roles and more importantly their responsibilities.
Why would anyone oppose this law - unless they have a vested interest, are blackmailed, or worse.
Bump!
Spiff, Do you think that the legislature will override her veto?
The police who are crying about the extra work and expense are the high muckie mucks just like the BP. I'll bet the rank and file cops are all for it.
This will actually represent the biggest part of the problem, forcing INS (now) DHS to take custody of the aliens and actually remove them. Its not an insurmountable problem, however if past history is any indicator it will take considerable public pressure to force their hand.
The state agencies will probably have to transport the aliens to the nearest DHS office and drop them off. This was actually the established practice before all the stupidity with sanctuary started in the 1980s.
Silly? He IS to blame, along with his predecessor Billy Bob Clinton, who also refused to enforce immigration laws, violating their oath of office to protect America from invasion.
that just makes 2 much sense!

i remember the socialists on the los angeles city council circa 1988 denying the l.a. police the right to even touch an illegal.
Imagine that...Well they could do like the air port security and just check people with a Danish accent...
Might be a good idea to check the citizenship status of the police first...
No there is one more:
Russell L. Jones N
He is my rep. He owns an import, export business, in San Luis, Az. some of us have been concerned about his position on border issues. His votes had been pretty good up until this one. We are going to have to keep a sharp eye on him.
Death at Napalitano's?
Depending on the final result of this, a Yuma City Councilman is planning to bring something like this before the city council.
Good for AZ ~ Bump!
