It will be a tremendous groundswell of support for Republicans. Just like Nixon's law and order campaign drew millions of independents and Democrats to back Republicans in 1968, Republicans' commonsense support for Arizona (and other states soon to follow) and Democrats' insane blubbering about NONEXISTANT "profiling" will lead millions of independents and Democrats to support Republicans in 2010, 2012, and 2014. Law and order first. Border enforcement first. The proper time to debate immigration policy changes is AFTER existing law is properly enforced.

Are you serious? As for Colorado voters, they also support the Arizona bill by a 55-35 margin (+20%). In the meantime Arizona's Governor Jan Brewer's approval rating has skyrocketed since passage of the bill and has gone from trailing her Democratic opponent, Terry Goddard 36-45 (-9%) before passage of the bill, to now leading him 52-39 since it's passage, for a net gain of 23%. If anything, The Gop has an awful lot to benefit in voter gain as a result of what's going on in Arizona and the firestorm that it has ignited across this country. It is extraordinarily difficult for me to imagine it being any other way. But then again too, maybe you know something that I don't.

In fact, I have read both laws but I think you knew that. <br />First, Cali law is virtually identical. Only shorter and better written. Since by now you have read CPC 834 b I'm sure you agree. And since we agree, let’s move forward. How do we make the bills better? How do we manage immigration and secure our borders at the same time? Second, and speaking of reading the laws, do you really believe that Big Sis and the AG didn't read the law before they spoke? With all those lawyers in D.C. you bet they did. So why claim not to have read it? Whatever I think of them, I don't think they’re that stupid. <br />Third, in comparing this law and the alleged racial profiling you predict will follow to Nazi atrocities, please, you're better than that. Some of the other bloggers I see in here... maybe not, but you're better than that.<br />Fourth, why is it that those on the left always accuse us on the right of believing that minorities are "less than human" and then you on the left go and speak for them? Most naturalized Hispanics I know don't want anyone speaking for them. <br />Fifth, you claim that the Arizona law is a "bad law" but wasn't it your hero, Bill Clinton who recently said, "A bad law is better than no law?"sunny.texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03297987314281885883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-89893168525212591182010-05-25T15:06:52.354-05:002010-05-25T15:06:52.354-05:00Bonncaruso,

To suggest otherwise is to smear law enforcement. <br /><br />"Federal Law does not say that legals are to expect to have their papers checked at every stop. It only says that they must carry papers, a rule that every industrialized society has for it's guest workers."<br /><br />Talk about splitting hairs!! existing law already says to carry papers, but not to expect to be asked to present them as identification!?!? <br /><br />LOL. Your petty complaints are absolutely LAUGHABLE. The law is entirely appropriate. It merely enforces existing law. To oppose AZ immigration enforcement when the federal government has neglected to do their job enforcing the law is to oppose any and all enforcement of existing law. <br /><br />You have offered ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to suggest anything wrong with the law. There is no profiling in the bill at all. It is not only perfectly appropriate to give law enforcement the tools to enforce current law, like AZ does, but it would be delusional to claim anything wrong with AZ enforcing the law.<br /><br />The ONLY harm is coming from the DELUSIONAL leftists who are protesting the law. These delusional leftist states and cities will only harm themselves. Arizona will be stronger than ever because of this enforcement law. And the rest of the states will join Arizona in doing the right thing. Arizona is ahead of the curve.

Believe me, the cops only need to say that they thought maybe, just maybe, that there was a hole in the right back light of your car, and that is good enough to make a lawful stop and ask for papers. <br /><br />This is inherently unamerican. And will be used for direct racial profiling. So, stop lying about it. A spade is a spade is a spade is a spade.<br /><br />Federal Law does not say that legals are to expect to have their papers checked at every stop. It only says that they must carry papers, a rule that every industrialized society has for it's guest workers.<br /><br />And we already see the negative side effects of this stupid, stupid, utterly stupid law. Businesses are already hurting in AZ. And as far I am concerned, they call all go bankrupt until AZ decides to rejoin the civilized world again. This law will NOT stand. It will be struck down, and rightfully so.<br /><br />sunny.texas:<br /><br />you lied. CPC 834 b is not the same as SB 1070. Unlike you, I actually took time to read ALL of it. CPC 834 b allows authority to check the immigration status of someone only <b>AFTER</b> they have already arrested that person for a suspected crime. That is RADICALLY different that AZ and makes for a HUGE difference and a constitutional one at that. Of course, if you haven't taken the time to read both laws, you would not know this. So, hope you don't fall into the trap next time. And I am not a lib, I am a centrist. But this law in AZ is an absolute abomination.

Since the electorate had no interest in finding out what were lies and what were facts, then is it really probably that the average latino voter is going to go by anything other than his emotional gut feeling that the white men don't like his brown brothers? As for enforcing our borders, I bet the native americans wished they had enforced their borders, instead of letting them white folks from england build stuff and clear land where they had lived for many centuries. These posters, all those anonymous drones, can whine all they want, but what is really inside them is a clear and obvious racism and a panting desire for their needed version of reality to be true. Like lots of other little kids, they honestly believe that screaming will get people to "believe" their way of seeing reality. Statistically, people vote by emotions.

What I'd like to see is some moral consistency from you. You think the Arizona law is bad? Then condemn the same law where ever you see it. If you want to boycott Arizona for their decision, then show some guts and boycott California as well. California law is virtually identical to the law recently passed in Arizona (CPC 834 b).

So, let's separate the chaff from the wheat.<br /><br />The part of this abomination called SB-1070 that is legal and in direct accordance with federal code is:<br /><br />1.) that illegals are indeed illegal<br />2.) that legals are supposed to carry papers with them.<br /><br />The parts that are blatantly unconstitutional are:<br /><br />1.) the free reign given to each policman/woman's individual discretion to stop anyone they wish to check for papers without reasonable evidence of a crime.<br /><br />2.) that individuals or groups within a community can sue their local police if they think or feel that the police is not prosecuting this thing vigourously enough.<br /><br />the first horror here redefines search and seizure and I am 100% sure it will lose in court.<br /><br />The second horror is the closest we have ever come to the NAZI Nuremberg laws of 1935, for in those hateful laws, individual citizens were also granted the right to report law enforcement officials they thought or felt were not adequately oppressing jews. This parallel is direct and absolutely undeniable and any human being with even a shred of decency in him will automatically know that this is WRONG, no matter how serious this immigration problem is.<br /><br />And no rider law signed after this one will be able to remove racial profiling. The politician in AZ are paying lipservice to not wanting racial profiling, but at the end of the day, there is no way possible to enforce this law without using racial profiling.<br /><br />Janet Brewer's ink signature was barely dried on ths law, right extreme groups were calling to use Cinque de Mayo as "report an illegal day". So, cut the horsecrap. No one is going to be looking for blond haired, blue eyed canadian illegals in AZ. They are going to be looking for hispanics.<br /><br />So, don't blame the hispanic community for it's understandably negative reaction. From Sotomayor to choice stupid comments from such gems as Tancredo, it is obvious to hispanics that many on the right consider them to be less than human.<br /><br />I will be surprised if McCain even gets 10% of the hispanic vote in November. And that's 9% too much anyway.<br /><br />So, cut out the propaganda horsecrap. the law is half unconstitutional and will not stand in a court of law. Basta.<br /><br />So, it is also obvious that AZ waited until an election year to pull this crap.Statistikhengsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14117706673612587798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-78999619335977074522010-05-25T03:03:39.120-05:002010-05-25T03:03:39.120-05:00I find it rather amazing that you would find some ...I find it rather amazing that you would find some correlation between the Arizona bill and a drop in support for ANY Republican politician.
