New immigration bill puts local police on front line of border battle

PHOENIX – There was both outrage and praise Tuesday night for the passage of what many are calling the "toughest immigration law in the country.”

It makes it a state crime to be an undocumented immigrant and it criminalizes hiring and transporting illegal immigrants.

Perhaps most controversial of all, it requires police to check immigration documents. It was a party line vote with all republicans voting yes and all democrats voting no.

The bill's sponsor is fiercely defending his bill against critics. Senator Russell Pearce says, “And it's about time!"

Sen. Pearce, of Mesa, has tried for years to get the bill's provisions into law. Immigrants rights groups who were protesting at the Capitol called it a disgrace.

The attorney for a day-laborer group in Phoenix says he is outraged. Chris Newman, with the Day Laborer Organizing Network, says, “It takes anti-immigrant hysteria to a level the country has not yet seen. It's designed to make life miserable for immigrants and families so they self-deport."

Not true says Sen. Pearce, who insists law-abiding immigrants are not his target. “It's the drug cartels, gang members"

Critics say all immigrants will feel the effects since police forces statewide will now be on the look-out for illegal immigrants. Newman says, “The bill will result in racial profiling of particularly Latinos in the state.

Pearce has repeatedly dismissed allegations that his bill mandates racial profiling by police. He explains, “It says you will not use race and ethnicity as a sole factor. You have to have lawful contact, reason to believe, and then can only arrest based on probable cause."

The bill is expected to make a stop in the House before going to the governor. Pearce expects Governor Janet Brewer to sign the bill into law. Two groups have threatened to file lawsuits against the immigration bill.

Of course the democrats are against it, if there are no illegals there is no one to do their lawns, cooking, cleaning, landscaping etc while they sip lattes and think up new ways of screwing the oridnary joe!
Bit like the wowser we have here with our boat people, personally I cant see why if we have a navy with big guns they cant be used to sink a few boats?

If you're in Florida, and you look west, you can see the sunshine reflecting off Sheriff Joe's teeth 

And Crusader (who has family in Mesa, AZ) thinks it's about time.

I still don't understand WHY we need to do this. Couldn't we fix the problem by simply ENFORCING existing immigration law? Yes I know that is asking the feds and the politicians to grow a spine.

But good for AZ for taking a stand, and doing what the feds refuse to do. You know, one of their constitutional mandates, like protect our borders from invasion.

What got this thing past was the recent outrage of the cold blooded MURDER of Douglas, Arizona rancher Rob Krentz.

People in this state had had enough of this kind of crap, along with the continual whining of the hispanic "community", who simply refuse to acknowledge, let along obey any and all of our immigration laws. When you see these people interviewed on local news shows, they keep on regurgitating this, "All they want to do is come here to work" nonsense. So do the 15%+ of OUR CITIZENS who are out of work due to the sick economy.

Arizona has had enough. Enough of the drug smuggling, the crime, the run down neighborhoods that follow these people everywhere they settle, the garbage littered desert from their illegal crossing attempts, and most of all the complacent attitude of these liberal lawmakers that cater to these people with their progressive thinking. With democratic super dyke Napolitano gone, hopefully things will start changing for the better here. This is a hell of a first start.  Bill T.

The Feds, along with our whining, wimp, liberal mayor Phil Gordon threaten Arpaio on an almost daily basis. They're getting dizzy from running around in circles. He's now going to announce he is running for Governor. I hope he does, and I hope he WINS! He'll make the Feds commit suicide.  Bill T.
