The rnc convention..the all star game that wont happen, the dnc convention WILL NOT COME HERE...oh yeah, no biggie.

Americans cut the grass before the illegals came here and do it for 10 cents to the dollar the American's use to get paid. They say Americans won't do this work. This is Bullshit Americans will do this work for a good wage not the Illegal wage that the job is paying now!!! Once you give these people Amnesty they will be no use to the illegal employer who they are working for now. These illegals will want benefits and more money and will be let go for the new crop of illegals that will come here and replay the old illegals who will then be unemployed.

Then the problem is the employers...not the employees.

wow...jillian's so smart!!!

here's another headline....

"AZ Governor Doesn't Care About Convention Cancellations"

I think she's more concerned about upholding the laws of this land, put in place to protect it's citizens.

There are two states that actually have budget surpluses. Montana and I imagine Alaska. Arizona needs to hang tough. The small whiny/petty leftist boycott isn't a reason to abandon their sovereignty. Just layoff the illegals. What problem?

Well, it is going to be interesting to see how this plays out. You Arizona Conservatives stick to your guns, by all means.

 

[WillowTree]

I just am perplexed by so called Americans who want to punish Arizona for upholding the "rule of law" Is it just me

 

[Harry Dresden]

..the all star game that wont happen,

thats because its not in Arizona this year .....but nice try throwing that in there....somewhat dishonest....but nice try....

 

[Old Rocks]

Yes, Willow, it is just you. The rest of us realize that the idea of a officer being able to stop you for no reason, demand papers, and take you to jail if you do not have proof of citizenship on your person is antithetical to our legal traditions.

Is the law making a difference? Are officers really stopping people and finding illegals? Haven't see much about this, just a lot demonstrations and boycotts,

 

[saveliberty]

Yes the law is working great. Just not in the way most of us thought it would. What will happen when the businesses in Phoenix fall on hard times? They will cut employees. Where are the illegals going to go to find work? Can you say Los Angeles? This law was brilliant.

No, not so far. It was just a political move that will probably end the governor's career
