It was fought by; "...Julie Pace, a Phoenix attorney who represents 12 major business groups opposing the law ? contractors, farmers, hotel owners and state and local chambers of commerce. The groups sued to stop the law from taking effect, arguing that it is unconstitutional because only the federal government can make immigration law." It sounded good in principle; "The law says any business that knowingly hires a worker who is in the country illegally will have its business license suspended. For a second offense, the business' license could be revoked. That is a far stiffer penalty than the rarely imposed federal fines for similar offenses." http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...oryId=16727312 Unfortunately it is not being enforced...and only 1...ONE business has been closed (for all of 2 days). This just happend in March of this year, two years after the law went into effect... "Danny's Subway has agreed to close its doors for two days and will be placed on probation for three years for violating the employer-sanctions law, the County Attorney's Office announced today. Since the employer-sanctions law has been on the books, this is the first time a business has actually been shut down." http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/val...law_claims.php |

Hopefully new laws will be written that put the screws to employers the first time (Like I mentioned above) and don't allow them a second chance to do it again ;) |

This is the result of citizens yelling "fuck arizona" stop the illegal b.s. now! So they did... Then the other States started to say "fuck arizona" you sent us your trash, so they started to make laws too. Now it's a big mess... I agree "fuck arizona" - they made a law keeps which is making a lot of Americans look stupid as they go around spewing crap about a law that they haven't read. |

This law in Arizona doesn't mean they can pull anyone Hispanic person over just to check their ID. It means if someone is pulled over in Arizona and is unable to produce a valid US driver's license or otherwise indicates they might be here illegally or otherwise might might be engaged in some other crime, that law enforcement is obligated to check their legal immigration status. I'm forty-one years old, former US Marine, and very white. I tripped up my home alarm a few months ago. Imagine my fucking surprise when my local PD asked for a second form of ID. |

Just depends if the cop is a dick or not. End of the day, it's just easier to Identify yourself. “Stop and identify” statutes are laws in the United States that require persons detained under certain circumstances to identify themselves to a police officer.[1] In Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada, 542 U.S. 177 (2004), the Supreme Court of the United States held that such laws did not violate the Fourth Amendment prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures or the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. The Court understood the Nevada statute to mean that a detained person could satisfy the Nevada law by simply stating his name. In the United States, interactions between police and citizens fall into three general categories: consensual (“contact” or “conversation”), detention (often called a Terry stop, after Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 (1968)), or arrest. “Stop and identify” laws pertain to detentions. Different obligations apply to drivers of automobiles, who generally are required by state vehicle codes to present a driver’s license to a police officer upon request. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_and_Identify_statutes |

btw - where did you get that figure? |

Actually, it probably WILL strengthen their economy. The Mexican illegals that I knew there sent 90% of their money back to Mexico. Why do you think that the Mexican government is so upset about this? They have much stricter laws regarding illegal immigration than we do, and they don't even allow LEGAL immigrants to participate in political protests. The fact is that they have pushed 10% of their population here now, and that next to Oil, this is Mexico's biggest source of income. . |

The fact is that these people do not exist in a vacuum. They rent apartments, buy cars, buy groceries, eat at restaurants, go to movies, etc. They are a part of AZ's economy. |

I guess you have never hung out with illegal aliens in Arizona. I worked with them for years in construction during college. I'm telling you the truth. They send their money home, they don't go to Movies, Restaurants, etc.... "In 2003, then-President of Mexico, Vicente Fox stated that remittances "are our biggest source of foreign income, bigger than oil, tourism or foreign investment" and that "the money transfers grew after Mexican consulates started giving identity cards to their citizens in the United States." He stated that money sent from Mexican workers in the United States to their families back home reached a record $12 billion.[29] Two years later, in 2005, the World Bank stated that Mexico was receiving $18.1 billion in remittances and that it ranked third (behind only India and China) among the countries receiving the greatest amount of remittances.[30]" *shrugs* you can believe what you want to believe, but if you think that there is any state government that wants to turn away significant income these days, I think you are nuts. ...And heck, if you do, then I guess you shouldn't go to Arizona, huh? It's the same reasoning as to why I wouldn't live in California anymore, since I think that their state legislators and leaders are crazy and are bankrupting that state. . |

Many States, including AZ have laws on the books that allow legal, screened workers to migrate here here for farm work, often seasonal when harvest time comes, then leave... See that's the issue they have. I have no problem with people that work and pay taxes.. I support an immigration path for anyone that does this. But that percentage is very low.. I do have a problem with people that buck the system, don't pay taxes, use our system for food, shelter and healthcare, then fail to learn our legal system, refuse to speak or learn English... In the case of illegal Mexicans, they aren't putting the money back into our Economy, 95% is going to Mexico - they don't even store it in our banks, it's out of our system and gone. Quote:
Basically when you cut the real reason off they are here, they leave... those people aren't working, they're sucking off Arizona's Tit. The number was something the radio has repeated a few times.. they have no real way to track it, so it's all estimates. But it's not hard to see when they filmed the food banks before and after, or you drive by the park downtown and you only see 2 homeless people in the park vs. a 100. This has been a great help on the Economy the Police and Fire have responded to less calls involving Illegals already. The donation centers are finally able to start building up again and giving our citizens more of what they deserve. The hospitals are under less strain. They cost the system, far more than they put back in. I'm sure the beer Industry is suffering... but this isn't going to put them out of business. |

To this day, there is no closure for our friends. If he were a legal citizen, he would have been held accountable, possibly/or not released on bail and if he ran, he would have been hunted down and brought to justice. My response to what our friends went through was just another story like brassmonkey told about his Mom and her dealings with being hit by an illegal immigrant. There are many stories like mine and his, it is nothing new.... |

It would be nice to see the state police handing out papers for the illegals who want to actually become Americans. Let them fill it out and hand it in and get the process moving. It's ridiculous that it takes 7 yrs or some bullshit to become a legal citizen through normal channels. |
In short, Arizona's law will stand and is not racial profiling. If you can't understand why states and the country has a right to protect themselves against people who are here illegally, then you need to consult history of not only this nation but world history!!! This nation as every nation has a path to immigration and a framework for the type of immigration that it desires. If you are here illegally and can't respect our right to set rules for the type of immigration we want as a nation...then take your a** back home and neither of us will have anything to argue about and we will both be alot happier:thumbsup
If you're a legal immigrant or have been granted immigrant status for any reason...welcome and many happy returns:winkwink: |

this morning on NPR they were interviewing some guy, a ballplayer i think.
he was saying how he was gonna protest by not going to any AZ games etc. one of his arguments was that there are illegals in the US from any country, he mentioned Swedish for some reason, saying that they would never get pulled over by AZ police suspecting them to be illegals, and as such he hit it right on the nail. Most Americans are sick and tired of hearing Spanish this and Spanish that. Sure there are lot of Chinese and Vietnamese immigrants also but it is ok as they do not "dominate" the landscapes as much as the "invasion from south of the border". I truly think the general opinion is that there is not a problem with illegal immigrants in the US but there is a problem with illegal Mexican immigrants.. |

Under the Arizona law... NOBODY will be pulled over on suspicion of being illegal... these arguments are just silly rhetoric by the left-wing media who want to obnubilate the issue. . |
