As America's busiest immigrant smuggling hub, the southwestern state of Arizona has earned the distinction as a place that's tough on people who sneak across the border.That reputation would harden if the state Legislature and governor approve a proposal that would draw local authorities deeper into immigration enforcement and further reject the notion that immigration is the sole responsibility of the federal government.
The proposal, which has cleared the state Senate and is being considered by the House, would require police to try to determine people's immigration status when they have reasonable suspicions that a person doesn't have legal status.
And, if approved, Arizona would become the only state to criminalize the presence of illegal immigrants through an expansion of its trespassing law.

It's about time for someone to do something about the illegals, with the DHS stopping work place raids were screwed.
Millions of Americans and legal Green card holders are suffering with our government giving favors to illegals. We can't afford the spending the Dems want and the cost to support all the illegals. It's a start
HEY DOG! Who cuts or grass, clean your houses and does all the little dirty jobs you and your kind won't do? Better learn to speak Spanish Americano.

Try working for a change La pistola someone has to work to support the liberals. We can't afford the illegals, they are sucking this country dry. Come here on a visa and work and go home, leave your family home. Most can't support their families so leave them home it's not our job to be their dad when he is manual labor. Why would anyone here want to bring this country down to a 3rd world chit hole they came from.
The illegal will never make enough to get off welfare and they can't support their families they brought here for us to support. Not much of a man that can't support his family and has to depend on welfare from us.Why should we learn Spanish most of them can't read or understand either language.
“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American…There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag… We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language.. and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
Theodore Roosevelt 1907
Wouldn't it be great if our government enforced the laws and
protected our borders? Someone said I enjoyed what I was doing: fighting against illegal immigration. No I don't. I could
think of about 100 things I would rather be doing. Wake up America
help those of us who are fighting for your children and grandchildren.
I am chilled when I think of their
world if we do not get control of
our borders and immigration in general.
