How long has this been a problem? How many politicians before her had the courage and will to do anything about it? ZERO. She deserves some credit (which I'll rescind if she signs that ridiculous Arizona birther bill into law).Sallynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591018003444406729.post-84134835091973511202010-04-24T15:02:48.323-04:002010-04-24T15:02:48.323-04:00Too bad the census didn't have the question: A...Too bad the census didn't have the question: Are you an American Citizen? <br /><br />Think how much we are spending to track down illegal aliens for the census. Because, as criminals, illegal aliens are reluctant to fill out the census so we hire Spanish-speaking community organizers to go find them and, after giving them a government-sponsored hug, we assure them that the only reason we need their information is so the government who keeps hugging them can use their count to demand more of it's citizens' tax dollars. This is akin to someone breaking into your house, then having the government step in to assist the criminal when you refuse to let him eat your food and wear your clothes. Undocumented worker my ass. When someone's very first act upon American soil is to violate American law, he or she is a criminal. And we've got enough damned criminals of our own that we hardly need to import any more. There is a process by which foreign-born humans yearning to be free, or wealthier or whatever, can LEGALLY become an American citizen. But it's too hard? Tough, it's worth it. Or at least it used to be.<br /><br />Is this really the United States of America anymore?Mudgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10106218895150473141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591018003444406729.post-5071773614173211882010-04-24T13:57:20.467-04:002010-04-24T13:57:20.467-04:00Balls Sally?

I agree with most of your points that this has disaster written all over it, but I still think the Arizona governor deserves a lot of credit for having the balls to sign this into law. And she wasn't strictly playing to her base, over 70% of Arizonans wanted this. <br /><br />Why is no one mentioning the event-the murdered rancher-that precipitated the Arizona legislature acting in the first place? <br /><br />I think the biggest result of this is illegals will just find their way to the welcoming arms of California instead of Arizona.Sallynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591018003444406729.post-22293727399117165782010-04-24T10:12:22.894-04:002010-04-24T10:12:22.894-04:00That ain't what I meant Bub.

I'm not absolutely sure, but I think we may have reached a tipping point with this "racist" slur. Any criticism of the left (especially Obama) is deemed racism. It's getting very old and I think it's played out. In fact, I think there's going to be a huge backlash. People just aren't buying it anymore. We'll see if I'm right this Nov."The Hammer"https://www.blogger.com/profile/16342812251947807673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591018003444406729.post-56424262502284028762010-04-24T09:11:14.138-04:002010-04-24T09:11:14.138-04:00Doc--I'm with you, as for how this should be i...Doc--I'm with you, as for how this should be implemented to avoid civil rights legal issues.
