Measure would provide money for National Guard troops along border
Arizona Daily Star - CAPITOL MEDIA SERVICES ^ | Howard Fischer

PHOENIX -- Republican legislative leaders are now willing to provide cash to put National Guard troops on the border without adding special conditions.

But the concession Wednesday to Gov. Janet Napolitano may bring GOP lawmakers and the governor no closer to agreeing on terms for a comprehensive border security plan: Napolitano is now raising objections to another provision, this one dealing with sanctions against companies that knowingly hire undocumented workers.

Rep. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, said the measure, now set for hearing next week, would simply give Napolitano $10 million to pay to put "boots on the ground" in Southern Arizona.

Gone will be a provision from an earlier version which said any time a governor declares a border emergency National Guard troops also must be deployed.

Oops, wrong story! Still no money or NG on the Border in AZ.

If it's not one thing, it's another.

Hopefully vote fraud won't give her another term.

Sheriff of Marijo County (Phoenix area) is using a technicality in a new law to capture illegals. The technicality is 'smuggling', so he interprets it (with local DA) to include human (as in self) smuggling. Some legislators are whining that they meant 'drug smuggling'.

Wanna bet the AZ legislature 'corrects' their error very soon and allows the illegals to continue to flood in?
