You know, that's such a no-brainer. We must hold these sanctuary mayors and police chiefs accountable for REFUSING to do their job. In Mountain View, CA, the police raided and closed a massage parlor. One month later, the city opened a day labor center in the same building. If it wasn't maddening, it would be funny. These people replaced a hooker business for an illegal alien business.
If a guy is married to an illegal..why not get her legal?
As usual..the press only tells part of the story to raise sympathy.
We are headed to AZ in Mar. So we will see first hand how this is going. The construction industry was already in the tank. So, it is not surprising that they are shedding people. Welders have always been in short supply and that is solved with PAY. A labor shortage means higher pay checks and happier middle class families. Yeah a certified welder was a middle class job before the influx of illegals.
Failure to pay state and fed withholding is a federal crime..that is one they enforce..so big companies can’t go black cash.
Thats some good news!!
Got to love the arrogance of the LAPD Chief when a caller asked why his department wasn't dong their job about illegal immigration: "If you don't like it, leave the state!"
Health issues: I don't eat the junk at McD's, but stopped at one to grab a cup of java the other day. While waiting to be served I noticed a midle-aged Hispanic female with multiple tattoos and pierceings carrying a tissue in one hand constantly sniffling and wiping her nose as she went about her tasks including handling money - must be from all those employee meals, or snorting bad stuff.
She appeared to fit into Gangsta Land, but it was, how should I say, mid-America.
Ahhhh, the American dream.
That is the problem. Unfortunately, there is a lot of anti-Latino rhetoric with the immigration issues, and it makes all of us seem racist and xenophobic, which most of us are not.
It is a travesty the way these people are treated in their own country, and then abused by employers in our country, while our citizens are being taxed and underpaid.
There is a better way, and this is the first step.
Sounds like there are a lot of winners in this policy change. Replace illegal aliens with Americans who need the training and the work. About time I'd say.
I do prison ministry. Yet, amazingly, people do not call me a "prisoner" while I am behind the barbed wire and double doors. They must not understand the "general" rule.
The ripple in Arizona?s economy has spread to other sectors. Real estate agent John Aguero Sr. said he gets four to seven calls each day from people asking about what they can do with their homes.The problem lies with the banks and mortgage companies making home loans to criminals. Outrageous!Fifteen out of 100 people who call Aguero "are just walking away from their property," he said.
One man called and asked how long the foreclosure process would take if he skipped his [$]1,600 house payments. Aguero told him four months.
does this concatenation of non-squitirs aspire to have a premise and a conclusion, or is it just a clumsy attempt at self-rightously charged obfuscation?

Police Chief William Bratton has definitely made a name for himself on the immigration debate.
I drove through the four corners last week moving from TX to WA. In Farmington and Shiprock there seem to be lots
of Dine who could use those jobs. They ought to have them
before any of the illegals, in my opinion.
Arizona and Oklahoma... just states doing the job our Imperial Federal Government has a Constitutional mandate to do but won’t do.
Power to the states! IMHO, the collective states have more intelligence and chutzpa than the Feds. Who ya gonna call? :)
I appreciate your comments.
There’s a lot of anti-Hispanic rhetoric/sentiments which have resulted from the swarms of illegal immigrants overwhelming our state. This is what angers patriotic AMERICANS of Hispanic descent—we’re tarred as a single group who supports illegal immigration just because the law-breakers are from Mexico.
The fact is all Arizonans (black, white, Hispamic,etc.) are victims of the effects of illegal immigration: increased crime, higher taxes, welfare fraud, identity theft, and overcrowded schools and hospitals.
Your tagline says it all.
So does the report, 'The High Cost of Cheap Labor'
And so does this:
A group of people headed by the AZ. Chamber of Commerce is fighting the law and has taken the case to the courts. They have already been rebutted twice but they will seek a favorable judge in some venue. Of course, the ACLU is behind much of their legal work. Business interets, who have longed benefited from cheap labor, are major contributors to the McCain, J. Kyl poltical machines here in Az. Follow the money and you’ll find where the problem lies.
I understood what MB said perfectly. I am, however, having a bit of difficulty understanding you. I see you're pushing your blog on your home page, get anybody there? (After your condescending post, I just had to find out more about you).
The firefighters and police have used that term here for many years. They swear it is an actual medical term! lol
cyberstalking is the highest form of flattery.
I believe you will find a page-hit counter at the bottom of the blog linked to, which is no longer being updated.
As to your difficulty understanding me, I suggest a dictionary, a thesaurus, and some time reading The Wall Street Journal editorial pages of the past.
