* Could Aid Arizona Unemployment RedState's Tabitha Hale writes, "Now, don’t get me wrong, I have some reservations regarding this bill, but this is not one of them. It’s exactly what the law was supposed to do! It’s a crack down on illegal laborers in an attempt to help those that are here legally. Let’s all wait for the media to report on Arizona’s upcoming decrease in unemployment… or maybe not."
* CO Governor Candidate Campaigns on Similar Law The Colorado Independent's Joseph Boven reports, "Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis said that if he were governor, he would seek to pass the same kind of harsh anti-illegal immigration laws recently passed in Arizona." McInnis said on the radio:
And here is a Governor who has stood up to it and said, "Look if you have a system that is going to work you have to have some kind of repercussions or some kind of circumstances or consequences when somebody steps outside of the system illegally." So I think that this governor–I know she is catching all sort of flack. Most of it is unfair. Most of it is ice guard. Most of it all this kind of stuff– but the fact is she finally stood up and said the federal government needs to do what they are required to do. And the federal government is not doing it.
And how interesting is this article?
AP:Illegal Immigrants Plan to Leave Over Ariz. Law
It is a great day for America when people everywhere are beginning to see the wisdom of Arizona's new law. Let's all hope Arizona's newfound legislative fortitude sparks a new realization as inspiration in which we vociferously disallow non-Americans from dictating what, how America should be, do, to stand up together, convey the message that it is only for Americans to decide what is best for America.
You bet your bippy!
Ohio Sheriff asks immigration vote
http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20100429/NEWS0108/304290033/1055/NEWS/Sheriff+asks+immigration+vote
Saying citizens need to take the lead on the controversial issue of immigration reform in Ohio, Butler County Sheriff Rick Jones announced Thursday he will spearhead an effort to have a statewide citizens initiative vote on the ballot this fall.
My state of tExas does not want them. Now that Arizona has passed its law, I contacted Governor Perry to call a special session to enact simialr legislation, as I fear now they will come this way instead of Arizona.
BTW, isn’t it great to live in a place where the politicians go home and only meet every two years instead of proliferating on the stage at a place like DC?
Pass a law in all states requiring higher taxes only on the citizens of sanctuary cities and towns to pay the full cost of illegal immigrant services and Arizona’s law will become a Federal law in no time.
I was down in Mexico City around 1995 and talked to a local businessman. He told me that the Columbians were coming north, ruining Mexico,bringing drugs and terrible crime, and then they’d keep going, into the US. Boy, was he right
I just... I mean... really? Does the author of this article realize the deliciously ironic nature of that statement while writing it? Honestly, do they sit there and have a sort of black hole singularity moment in their heads where they think that there isn't a glaring contradiction to the very thing they're writing?
As a student of English, I am aghast at writers who take themselves so seriously that they forgive their own writing and allow something like this to pass for journalism.
makes it a state crime
to be in the U.S.
illegally
It's not a crime to do something illegal? When did that happen? Next time someone gets pulled over for driving under the influence, they should say, "Well, those illegals can be here legally , and if DUI is illegal, then I should be able to finish my drive to the next bar, dammit!"
It’s time for Texas to pass a similar law. Then maybe New Mexico will follow suit. California is hopeless, but when it’s the only place left for the illegals to go, maybe the resulting bankruptcy will force a change.

Detroit Latinos to rally
against anti-illegal
immigration laws, seek
reform
By NIRAJ WARIKOO
FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER
Latinos are planning to rally in Michigan this
weekend for immigration reform — including a
group of students who left today from a Detroit
high school and are walking to Ann Arbor in
advance of President Obama’s talk on Saturday,
said community activists.
Yes, It has turned.
It’s sad but this issue (like many others) is backfiring on democrats mainly because they are in charge and cant effectively blame Bush anymore.
Aside from a ‘blame democrats’ tidal wave sweeping the country (remember when it was the other way?) , Republicans out of power tend to stick together against socialism and related amnesty. Alternately republicans in power try to further expand or keep their new power base, by destroying themselves.
American Blacks (ie Southern roots) don’t like amnesty at all, most hate it.
For the states that are considering passing a law like Arizona, have the preamble of the bill start with this:
Whereas the sense of the (state senate or house) has determined that the executive branch of the United States federal government has failed to adequately enforce the immigration laws constitutionally codified by the Congress of the United States of America, and
Whereas the executive branch of the United States federal government has failed to protect and defend the persons and property of the people of the state of ________________ by allowing uncontrolled illegal immigration of persons who have stolen and defrauded uncounted billions of dollars from the people of the state of ____________, assaulted, and murdered its citizens and have been allowed unfettered access to its services,
The State of ____________ has determined that it must in all good conscientiousness act to protect the property and the citizens of this great state by enacting the following laws:
Once again, missing that critical operative word... "ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The first illegal alien that should be prosecuted is the one in the White House.
Ping!
The most threatening war we are in is our uncontested BORDER WAR even as our military are completely occupied halfway around the world. The open border, kept so by clandestine agreement of both parties can only be intended with a breakup of the US and a permanent change of its demography, culture, traditions, political system and voting base and demonstrably effective system of government and, as well, geographical divisions, by our own government. WE are watching it happen each day.
Neither national party speaks of preservation and furtherance of UNION of the US in any of these aspects. The Dems are positioning Puerto Rico for statehood, just for gaining votes for their party, even if the Puerto Ricans do not especially favor statehood. The word assimilation in regard to immigrant populations is not heard in the media...immigration and amnesty are ends in themselves.
In fact, as early as 1971, at the point of the bankruptcy of the US caused by the VNam war, and Nixons’ response to that unstable period, when the US was divided so deeply over the VNam war, he issued an executive order defining the breakup and division of the states with a geographical graph into 10 regions.
The current boycott challenges between CA and AZ over the current border issue in AZ and the suicidal financial directions taken all over the US, with no leadership to right the course from going from crisis to catastrophe, brings that map from 1971 to mind:

After the US Civil War we had that notorious period of Reconstruction with a great deal of chaos associated with it. Now we seem to have a period of deconstruction going on with an increasing; association of chaos as well, and, visibly educated and trained political and govt people especially trained in the ideas of Alinsky, Cloward-Piven, Marx, etc. emphasizes focus on ....chaos. This is obviously not conducive to the maintenance of a Union such as Lincoln and the North fought for and established. The President wants to lead to fundamentally alter the Constitution in an non traditional manner, as he has so indicated. He is an anti-Lincoln.
Are the opening shots from the state of California, a self-supremacist and supranational and sanctuary city...San Francisco, via boycott, the beginnings of permanent divisions of the US, aided and abetted by an already existing federal plan for division????
AZ is wonderfully leading the way in defense of the Union of the United States, and the challenge has hit a big nerve as the oppositional scream of response is so loud. More states had better begin defending the integrity of the US, its culture, traditions, language, borders, demography, etc., in all its previously cohesive features or the US WILL be lost. We are at the point of being carved up into small pieces and completely redistributed. The pain of the process has finally awakened us...what next?
The major testing ground for me would be Colorado. If they can get a similar law passed there, it means that “swinging suburbanites” are on our side.
