Arizona Rocks!!

Four items on Arizona's ballot Tuesday received national attention. All were related to illegal immigration, and all passed by more than 70%.

Item one made English the official language of Arizona.
Item two made illegal immigrants who are incarcerated for serious crimes unable to bond out of jail.
Item three establishes that illegal immigrants may not sue any citizen in civil court, nor or they eligble for any punitive damages from any state agency or private enterprise.
Item four(my favorite), establishes that no illegal immigrant may receive state or federally supported social services of any kind.

I say we do this across the nation. What do you think?

It is a national disgrace that any of these laws have become necessary! Yes! We need these laws nationwide.

I am a nationalist, certainly not a racist. I think most illegal immigrants are racists, because race seems to be the key issue to them. As far as disgust, well, I can live with that. I will not live with serving my country for most of my adult life only to watch it be invaded by another nation. I have proposed very reasonable solutions to the illegal immigrant problem (see "Free Money"), and if English was your first language, or even one you were fluent in, you might have noticed that. If you are an American citizen, then you really need to rethink you position on this issue. When the fur starts to fly, as I'm afraid that it will, do you really think that politically correct language and cries of "Racism!" will win the day? I don't.

a great BIG HURRAH for those voters of Arizona who had the common sense to vote this way. i get awfully tired of seeing all my tax dollars spent on services to illegal immigrants while my elderly mother starves on social security. native born Americans stand up for your own rights and for the rights of us veterans who have fought and died to try to preserve them for you.

THE FOLLOWING WAS FORWARDED TO ME VIA E-MAIL:

Suburb may enact anti-immigration laws
FARMERS BRANCH, Texas (AP) -- This Dallas suburb could soon become the first Texas city to adopt a sweeping ordinance intended to keep out illegal immigrants.
Farmers Branch is one of more than 50 cities or counties around the country that have considered, passed or rejected laws banning landlords from leasing to illegal immigrants, penalizing businesses that employ undocumented workers and making English the city's official language.
"This is the first town in Texas that had the guts to do what's right," Susie Hart, who grew up in Farmers Branch, said during a recent demonstration outside City Hall. "The education system is tanking, health care has gone through the roof, everybody is bilingual."
But such sentiments and the proposed ordinance, which goes to the city council Monday, is troubling to many throughout Texas, where Latinos have lived for generations.
Many Latino families trace their roots here to a time before Texas was even a state.
"This is not just a Farmers Branch problem," Elizabeth Villafranca said of the proposal. Villafranca, whose family owns a Mexican restaurant in Farmers Branch, said she worries that such laws will spread to other cities if the council approves the proposed ordinance.
Since 1970, Farmers Branch has changed from a small, predominantly white bedroom community with a declining population to a city of almost 28,000, about 37 percent of whom are Hispanic, according to the Census. It also is home to more than 80 corporate headquarters and more than 2,600 small and mid-size firms, many of them minority-owned.
The local debate over illegal immigration began in August and spawned demonstrations for and against the ordinance.
Council members later adopted a resolution criticizing the federal government for not aggressively addressing the issue.
Recently, Councilman Tim O'Hare gave city attorneys drafts of an English-only ordinance and proposals to fine companies and landlords who do business with illegal immigrants.
The Farmers Branch proposals echo those approved in Hazleton, Pa., earlier this year. Council members there voted to fine landlords who rent to illegal immigrants, deny business permits to companies that employ them and require tenants to register and pay for a rental permit.
