That just might work!

I am so dang sorry, any American Boycotting Arizona, for this trash, we are looking at, needs to be boycotted for being ignorant and stupid. This is what the illegals brings us, on our way, to their freedom. The freaking germs, this is how illnesses, get passed also. Do you all want this going on in your State, then wake up, and fast. Our future depends on how we handle the illegal situation NOW.

I've seen those pictures as well. It's disgusting, and that people actually want this to continue is beyond rational thought.

Go Arizona!

There is much more support for the Arizona law than the media reports. The media couldn't sell advertising for its coverage if there wasn't a "sensational" issue involved,...with all the liberal handwringing and celebrity talking heads.

Hang in there Arizona!! Even with the president of Mexico and our spineless leader in the White House agreeing that a sovereign state cannot control issues inside its own borders, Americans back your decisions. Just follow the law,....you know,...that law that the federal government refuses to enforce.

Calderon doesn't want the fresh supply of American money disrupted. After all, American money sent back to Mexico by illegals is a HUGE part of the Mexican economy. Maybe Calderon should concentrate on solving his own internal issues instead of coming to the States to squeal like a pig caught under a fence.

Maybe when Calderon returns to Mexico he could take Obama for an extended visit,...say sometime around 2030?

I read some of Calderon's remarks. In public he said that the AZ law is hurting "Mexican migration".
I really wished someone would have had the guts to correct him.

The AZ law is trying to stem the flood of illegal aliens.
No one is stopping legal Mexican migration into the US. That was an outright lie by Calderon.

How can anyone not support the Arizona law? This needs to be done. I really don't understand why people are boycotting it. This is shameful.

I saw those pictures several months ago and they are making the rounds of the internet again. It is a sad and disgraceful state of affairs when people must take matters into their own hands to do the job the POTUS and the federal government will not. The problem is only going to get worse and the Tenth Amendment movement will only get stronger. Count on it.

First off; the AZ law is not really that different from the Federal laws that exist, the main difference is that AZ they will uphold the law themselves. That said, targeting anyone that looks Mexican and requiring them to provide proof of citizenship without just cause (looking Mexican does not qualify) is a violation of our own laws. Pesonally I do not care if AZ upholds the law of the nation if they do so legally.
Secondly; I do not see AZ stating that they will go after the root of the problem and that is to go after those that hire illegals. We cannot, in my opinion, stop the illgals from entering this nation so long as they have reason to come here, forget building walls they will not work and would cost more money than we can afford to spend to build, maintain and then patrol the entire length.
Third, our imigration laws need to be reformed, many of those that come here to work would gladly do so legally if they could get a green card in a reasonable amount of time. Check them out and approve them if they have a clean record, and let them contribute to our nation in the way of labor and taxes paid.
So pass laws that treat the symptoms are you want, but until we address the issue in a logical manner we will continue to get the same results.
