I wonder if we are going to have riots and lots of violence. Yesterday, students from different high schools walked out to march to the Capitol in opposition of this piece of legislation.
For someone who doesn’t know anything about AZ politics, you are a very astute observer. Phil Gordon is an idiot and Russell Pearce is a hero. I live here, I know.
It's my understanding, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, that the Sheriff is the supreme law enforcement officer in his county.
He could throw Janet "Burn 'em to the ground' Reno into jail for interfering with his law enforcement deputies.
Will they go after illegal Canadians, Russians, Brits etc? If so then no one could consider it racist, if however they don’t and only go after Mexicans then it is a silly law in my opinion, illegal is illegal, they shouldn’t pick and choose who can stay and who should go by nationality.
Go Girl
Of course it’s a minor holiday. It celebrates Mexico beating the French. The average boy scout troop could handle that.

Sure, while they’re going through the illegal Hispanic haystack, there is no reason why they should not also throw out the occasion illegal Canadian/Russian/Brit needle they might find. Don’t think those numbers will be too significant, though, compared to those of the invaders from the south.
Brewer is going to be holding a press conference @4:30!
Anyone know if she’s decided NOT to sign the bill?
This’d be sort of a “have it both ways” for her. The bill’s going to be in federal court in an eye-blink. Only about a third of it’ll survive. Then again, it’s one third better than nothing.
True, but how many snowbacks do you have in AZ?
“It [the bill] also allows individuals to sue local police departments if they believe they were wrongly targeted or arrested.”
Why is THAT included?

LOL. Almost good news ping!
Thank you!
It would absolutely sicken me that she would veto a bill that has passed BOTH the house and the senate and a bill that a high majority of Arizona residents WANTS to pass.
“I wonder if we are going to have riots and lots of violence.”
Apparently he wants us to believe that it must be those in favor of a bill that has already passed and waiting for signing have been calling....
“U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva, a Democrat who opposes the measure, said he’s closing his Arizona offices at noon Friday after his staff in Yuma and Tucson were flooded with calls this week, some from people threatening violent acts and shouting racial slurs.”
Hey Zero—
“fixing the nation’s broken immigration system” is simple.
BUILD THE FREAKING FENCE!!
Thank you! Lady of Shalott and I are sitting here, waiting with baited breath....
