Arizona-style immigration laws die in Colorado and South Dakota

Colorado and South Dakota can now join Wyoming in the ranks of disappointing setbacks on immigration this year.

South Dakota's version of Arizona's SB 1070 died in committee in the South Dakota House this afternoon. Republicans control the "State Affairs Committee" and account for 9 out of 13 of its members.

The brief AP report alludes to law enforcement agencies and "other groups" which "work with immigrants" that testified against the bill.

In Colorado, Rep. Randy Baumgardner pulled his version of the Arizona-style immigration law. He cited the burden that ACLU lawsuits would impose on Colorado taxpayers in a depressed economy.

Strangely enough, these concerns did not stop Baumgardner from visiting Arizona last year and grandstanding about his bill in the months before the midterm elections. He is hardly the first Republican to say one thing to voters and do another after safely being reelected to office. . . .

Republicans have now killed Arizona-style immigration laws in Wyoming, South Dakota, and Colorado.

Make notes and move forward to the next election.

illegals make notes and move “forward” to the Arizona/Colorado line.

Take their names down. Could be they have close ties to both the agricultural interests in those states as well as their national committee chairmen who voted for Preibus.

Two months and he's outta' here. The Republican Establishment IS NOT IN SYNCH with the people.

Tell me about it. CA makes CO look downright miserly as far as benefits are concerned.

Tennessee lawmakers concerned with illegal immigration are introducing everything from an Arizona-style enforcement bill to requirements that driver’s license exams be in English. — Similar measures in the past have mostly been killed in the House. This year, with Republican majorities in both the House and Senate, those measures have their best chance yet of becoming law... http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-02-14/tenn-lawmakers-hoping-to-pass-immigration-reform.html
The states that pass the laws, will see the illegals will move to their states, whom have not passed any new laws

See what happens in the other states....

Obviously, the GOP is pro-Illegal Alien

Too many in the GOP are Free Trader Communists...and Free Trader Communists are Open Borders-Pro Illegal Alien.

The GOP is going to lose big in 2012 if they continue to pander to Illegal Aliens and their Hispanic KKK supporters

Yep! Taking a look at the current sellout on deathcare in DC by the GOP, certainly not the last...

I assume it is acceptable for the state of Colorado to impose burden on its taxpayers with regards to other lawsuits, such as the one for the health care bill????
