Ummm, memo to California: You're about to need a fiscal bailout that will make Greece look like a drop in the bucket. Since I don't believe California is a member of the EU (fantasies to the contrary notwithstanding), Germany won't be your source of funds - the people you're insulting right now will. Perhaps "We, the People" should tear up California's membership in the Union? The Civil War may have settled the issue of whether a state can unilaterally secede - it can't - but it didn't say butkus about whether the rest of the states can expel one of the states. Be very, very careful what you do, California, or you may find yourself on the very wrong end of an IMF austerity plan.

Meanwhile, CA will soon be begging the rest of the country for a huge bailout IN LARGE PART BECAUSE THEY DID NOTHING TO PREVENT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM ABUSING THEIR SOCIALIST HANDOUTS.

Eff you, CA.

I am seriously thinking about leaving California over this.

You're welcome here in AZ, however consider that if we lose this battle over 1070, we'll be financially ruined in very short order.

This isn't just about immigration, it's the very life of this state. We can't back down, the alternative is a bankrupted state overrun by mexican narco-syndicates.

Another example of arrogant, left-wing, progressive lawlessness. (On the left, subversion is an art form.)

IMHO

I dare you Darrell! California obtains 4.4 million acre-feet of water per year from the Coachella Valley Water District. Tear up that contract first and see how far you get, moron.

I’m so damned glad I don’t live in California anymore. Left there in 1976 when I joined the Air Force and never looked back.

Riiight. I bet at least 70% of Californians agree with the AZ law!

It’ll be interesting to see the response from Gov. SchwarzenRino.

“Tearing up a contract” has no legal effect. If Kalifornia wants to breach their contracts with Arizona, and thus be liable for damages... They can do that... but it wouldn’t be wise.

Arizona is where California businesses go to sin.

If Arizona gets cut off, California businesses that go there to do things the envirowackos prohibit at home, they will be out of business.

The problem will be solved by restoring the Navajo power plants

Sure why not?

Necessity is the mother of invention right?

So let them invent their green energy electricity.

The law has nothing to do with the sovereign state of Mexico. the law deals with persons within Arizona who are not citizens and have entered the state illegally.

The problem is exclusively an Arizona problem and can be delt within the Arizona legal system. It is not the business of homeland security or Jeb Bush or a California state senator or a New York street .....

You know what, Senate leader Darrell Steinberg, be careful as you are attempting to disrupt interstate business. The commerce clause prevents California from doing just what you suggest.

Maybe surrounding Tea Partiers should party hardy in Arizona for a couple of days?

Isn’t it amazing how the libs get themselves worked up over a state’s intent to enforce existing law, but not a peep comes from them about the plus-up of 17,000 IRS agents to head-slap American citizens into buying health insurance.

RE :”so contracts are worthless if we don't like the policy of the other party ???

They (California) probably saw my post below. I told the illegals to move to California~ Nancy pelosi's town. There was a Southpark episode similar to this. They sent the hippies to California because they were trashing the town and taking it over in numbers.

A Suggestion to Illegal Aliens: Boycott Arizona to teach them a lesson!

And prepare to accept another million illegal immigrants leaving Arizona for California.

The REAL reason behind the subtrafuge. California will not do anything about their illegal invasion problem and Arizona has.

Where do you think the illegals will go???
