Amen! Thank you!

These same folks who are criticizing Rubio are the same ones still praising Sarah Palin. Yet, Palin is the one supporting McCain who is very pro illegal immigration.

Please everyone, get a grip!

A statesman is nothing but a dead politician.

We need statesmen, not politicians.

I agree.

The RNC should sue him to get its money back.

If they don’t we need a new party.

Rubio hasn’t read the bill. Neither have I. Have you?

Just from what I have seen the police in Arizona can arrest you if you don’t have proper identification.

Do you have your papers with you proving your a citizen?

How about I arrest you and ship your ass back to Africa?

Get the picture.

The cops in Arizona need to be careful how they enforce this or it’s going to start a war they can’t win.

As I understand this law it will get rid of the illegals on the street much the same as prostitutes or drug dealers. Problem?

What’s that mean?

Does anyone have link to the law?

Yeah. Ok. If that's the case then this law is worthless. Because last I checked prostitution and drug dealing is still going on.

Here’s the problem. There are lots of us that are native to this country that are going to be treated as foreigners in our own land. I know...I’ve had it happen to me.

How many people on this forum have actually been harassed by border patrol? How many have you been asked if you are citizen at the airport by undercover agents?

How many of you carry proof that you are citizen with you at all times?

This is going to be ripe for abuse if Arizona doesn’t watch it. I have family in Arizona, and I can promise you this...if some snot nose punk cop asks me for ID...I’m going to put my foot in his ass.

I have been stopped, twice, by Border Patrol driving in southern, rural Arizona. We had to show ID, they kinda looked around our SUV and waved us on. I've walked over the border several times and had to show ID and had them look through all my bags. They were doing this when I moved to Arizona 13 years ago. It was just as I moved to Chandler, AZ that it was a big controversy and they said they could no longer "profile" or ask people about their status.

Literally, areas of our cities are lined with illegals waiting for someone to pick them up for day labor. There will be 15 here, 25 there, 12 in this parking lot, 5 in that parking lot...

The problem is the drain. Arizona is broke and Washington could care less why. I am fortunate to have papers. The alien problem must be addressed and this will do it.

He’ll win. The rats will vote for him because their guy can’t win. Then Crist will caucus with the rats.

Thank you, FL, for electing this jackass in the first place.

He most likely WILL win. The rats will vote for him instead of their guy.

as an immigrant you have to carry your green cars/visa
next
they stop you if your doing something illegal and then can ask about your status .

couldn’t care less if you haven’t read the bill Rubio SHOULD HAVE.

Next
who the hell is from Africa? are you?, Why Africa?

next
what war, ? a race war, an illegal war?

next you get the picture do you?

tough guy so if a cop asked you you’ll be putting a foot up his ass.
LOL
yea that makes sense.
ARF

You seem to be missing the point and that is they the police cannot understand CANNOT just come up to you and ask for your immigration status based on race etc.

If Republicans show up in huge numbers for Rubio, he will win. The Democrats vote will be split. The blacks will vote for the black Democrat not Crist. They will feel insulted if told to do otherwise.

The smartest thing for him to do would just be to say he believes in greater enforcement, but he wasn’t in Arizona and wasn’t sure how the law would be enforced.

Thus, he basically would just defer to them instead of opening his big mouth.
