Boycott Arizona?

drkitten said:
If they don't, I can sue (and win).

From the text of the law:


A policy that gives priority to murder investigations over immigration violations -- or for that matter, fails to give immigration violations priority over every other crime in the books -- "limits the enforcement of federal immigration laws to less than the full extent permitted," since federal law permits all law enforcement personnel to work full-time on immigration cases. The only real legal barrier would be the laws against working more than 40 hours per week.....

Right, I'm sure immigration wil become the #1 priority. "Sgt. Jones, don't investigate that murder scene. We have a report of a busboy who's brown and speaks with an accent".

Christ on a pogo stick.

Apparently drkitten believes that the AZ law trumps the US Constitution or something, and suspicion is grounds for arrest and imprisonment until the arrestee can prove his innocence.

eta: My answer would be that the courts would interpret the new law as saying that you can't have policies of refusing to enforce immigration law, and that would be that.

That's exactly what it means, despite drkitten's histrionics.

No, but apparently the AZ governor does.

She does?

At any rate, she can believe that magical faeries spread pixie dust across the desert and that's what makes the cactus bloom. It doesn't make it so.

Are there any actual illegal immigrants from Mexico in Arizona? Last time I was down there I don't think I saw a single person who was even vaguely Hispanic looking. For the whole ten days I was there it was just old, angry white people that had just moved there from someplace cold.

So it's the old, angry white people who are the drug runners with the machine guns? Well, I mean those which are not already full time busy with the kidnapping schemes?

Oftentimes a state law is written to implement a federal statute or guideline. In the absence of such, various municipalities may come up with their own laws. Here you have a state law disallowing municipalities to make their own law in this matter. Very common.

So no "sanctuary cities" in Arizona.
 
I was in Arizona about a week ago and I saw what appeared to be a protest march. I didn't get a close look at the participants, but the march was going down one of the major roads that goes through the Indian reservations in the Northeast part of Arizona.

But as I say, I'm not sure what exactly was going down. Perhaps the Native Americans were prostesting that their immigration problem that started several centuries ago has gotten out of hand.

Are you considering not visiting Arizona because of the recent immigration, Birther, and ethnic education legislation that has been passed or proposed in the State?

I must admit...I am having thoughts of not passing through.

They're going to stop every car and check licenses?

No, just the ones speeding, having no/invalid plates, etc.

Are we now going to argue that police shouldn't have the ability to make traffic stops any more?

This law seems to put law enforcement on the hook more than anyone else. They are "required" to ask for any offense, minor or otherwise.

Traffic violations are not the only reason to detain people. There are jaywalking laws and pooper-scooper laws that come into play as well as bicycle laws and so on. As I see it, America has too many laws and the last thing we needed was another, especially as vague as this one.
 
A rock band cancelled a concert in Arizona. Local radio is reporting that locals are expected to loose from 3 to 5 thousand dollars in marijuana sales.

DDWW
 
I am a little confused over this issue. Illegal immigration is a problem. Arizona is trying to do something about it, thoiugh it may be the wrong way to do it.

Personally, I think Arizona should go after the people who hire the illegals. If they have no-where to work, they won't go there.

As for the illegals, I think they should be given free rides on a catapult.. Though to return them to some countries, it may have to be a really big one.
 
Did you hear there's a new motto for the coming elections in LA:

"Throw the bums out. Throw them ALL out."
 
LA boycotting AZ.

Southern California gets most of fresh water from the Colorado River.

Colorado River first runs through AZ.

AZ has a lot of illegal cheap labor that could build a damn…..

Hmmm

DD(Doing the work an illegal cannot do)WW

Arizona is a small state. Going after only those employers in Arizona who hire illegals doesn't end the hundreds of thousands heading through Arizona en route to other states where employing illegal aliens is not discouraged by law in any way.

And it's Arizona that has to deal with the coyote gangs, trashing of the natural habitat, the merger of human and drug traffickers, and the extra costs to hospitals and other social welfare systems.
