If Arizona can do it, why can't the rest of America?

Why wouldn't they fight for their right to come here and mess us up!
They should fight their gov instead.

::sigh:: I just have to laugh when someone say something about illegal immigrants. Everyone who isn't a NATIVE American has no room to talk. ::shrug:: Do you think you would be here if your great-whatever didn't come here illegally? Not everyone could get here legally. So, no one lie, please. Good for you if your family did come here legally. But now you don't wanna give anyone else a chance.

Now, don't get me wrong, the president of Mexico (with their strict laws) shouldn't talk. He's an idiot. Making themselves look so damn stupid. But we are not Mexico. ::sigh:: What a bunch of morons.

What about the employers??

The 9 should have been arrested and truned over to ICE. This is very very funny by the way. Do you know there are more Irish here in the US then in Ierland. I wonder if this is the same way with Mexico.

If the federal govt would do its job, this wouldnt be a state issue

I'm for Az. and the rest of the states need to follow...

If the rest of the states forced the Federal Government's hand, we would be on the road to recovery.

They can if they arn't controled by a bunch of bleeding heart amnesty wanting liberal jackasses.

My answer to the question is because it is wrong. I haven't heard about the State of Sonora story before....

Go try to sneak into Sonora then and see what happens to you.

Damn, we can't seem to make Peace w/ anyone anymore.

they so keep new ones out But go ahead let the one say that are here Because Unless you are 100% Indain and live in the Us you are just as bad as them im Part Indain Part Scootish And Part German So im afined are you going to kick me out because im not full indain

LIVE with it ....MEXICO

well this human trafficking is a big business. all over the world they regularly check and deport illegals. even in america it isnt legal to cross over hence the term illegal. and this did not need a special law under arizona to start action - this law already exists. this is also big business for some mafia/ police/govt officials in both countries in the border. this kind of sudden action on an old problem will cause sudden problems. i hope the govt takes the same step towards drug trafficking which is happening under every one's nose and has been filling the pockets of several us police/ govt officials.

psychotic isn't it?
Arizona should sue the federal government for violating their constitutional rights.
The only problem here is,,, You Are NOT allowed to sue big brother.
I have some very deep worries here. It's like Arizona is being left to stand alone.

It depends on which governors have the balls to do it. Rick Perry in Texas does not. He has stated on the radio that he will NOT sign a similar bill.

Time to say goodby to Rick, and any other Gov, that will not do the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately their are no other choices at the moment.

and Bill White won't either so we are screwed either way.

Bill White is the reason Houston is a sanctuary city.

I think the new mayor is going to change that. She was busy all weekend tearing down old houses so the land could be sold off (something the last 3 mayors were trying to get taken care of but couldn't manage).

From the Houston Chronicle:
White's successor as Houston's nonpartisan Mayor, Annise Parker, is staying out of the governor's race. She does, though, have a clear opinion on the "sanctuary city" charge:

"Houston is not a sanctuary city. If you break a law in Houston, we will arrest you, we will take you to jail, and, if you're in this country illegally, we will turn you over to the appropriate federal agency, generally ICE. We will do it day and day after day, and we have been doing it for a very long time. What we don't do is divert our police officers to stop people on the street and inquire about immigration status. That's a waste of resources."

and who is doing that? Arizona isn't.

This is what Houston's new mayor had to say about illegal immigration

She is implying that Arizona is stopping people on the street to inquire about their immigration status, which is not true. When someone has broken the law and when asked to produce identification, can't produce proper identification, then their legal status is checked. Common sense to most Americans.

If it's not a sunctuary city then why do so many illegals live in Houston. I feel they are more likely to leave if they know being caught for any crime or even being pulledover will lead to deportation. I often hear about people being hit by illegals that don't have vehicle insurance and aren't arrested or even given a ticket. If it wasn't a sanctuary city the word would get around that being caught for crimes will get them jailed and deported. But they keep coming in instead of leaving.

Plus, by Parker stating that Houston is not and was not a sanctuary city allows her to continue business as usual.

In our building at work we have had 2 of our maintenance people hauled off by ICE in the last month

I'm pleased and suprised all at the same time.

I live is a small town outside of Houston and I saw 2 INS vans full of people driving toward Houston yesterday. I truly hope they are going to do something. The news had a report about a terrorist from Somolia that came in through Mexico so it may have something to do with that. They have everybody looking for him (per a local cop)

I live in Baytown. I don't see INS vehicles but plenty of non-english speakers. Could you point those vans I my direction?

I live in Alvin :)

I've been there once a long time ago.

Its not a very scenic place but I live outside of town in the country so I like it

I'm more of a city boy. I stayed in Liberty for two years and hated it. You have to drive too far to do anything. There's nothing to do in Liberty or surrounding towns. I developed a liking for Beaumont. They have a big Books-A-Million in Parkdale Mall. It's 3 times as big as the one at Katy Mills Mall. If that one is still there.

I LOVE the Books a Million store (well except I spend way too much money there)

We do too. Lately we've been hitting up the Half-Price Books and Katy Budget books. Trying to save some money.

I should own at least 2 half price books at this point. I got the buy part down but the sell back part Im a little slow on. :) I have never been to Katy Budget books. I will have to try it

It's on Fry Rd. Make a right on Fry Rd when going west on I-10. Go down about 1 mile on your right. They have a lot of variety. I think Half Priced bookson Nasa Rd 1 in Clear Lake has better choices of political and business books though. They also have a better selection of audiobooks.

oooh thanks I will have to get out there sometime. I love the new Clear Lake store. the store on Kirby has a great selection too

If you like novels more, Katy Budget Books has a really big sale twice a year I think. I think the most recent one is still going on. I'm not 100% sure though. Paperbacks for around 25 cents and hardbacks for a dollar I think. They also have large quantities of certain authors like Stephen King, David Baldacci, Dean Koontz and many others.

Oooooh I will have to free up shelf space :) 25 cent books? I am in soooo much trouble!
