Arizona, a rogue state at war

[zsdersw]

LOL...

Since when can an individual state act unilaterally with threats of nuclear war? Unless they leave the Union that cant happen.

They can't, but leaving the union, however unlikely, is not off the table. I have little doubt there is a growing number of people in AZ who, frustrated with what they perceive as a lack of federal involvement protecting the border, would like very much to secede from the union and take matters into their own hands.

If we are all lucky the courts will simply kill the law before its ever enforced, because its in reality unenforceble without running roughshod over the rights of millions of US citizens.

So says the brilliant legal mind of lemon law. Of course ultimately the supreme court will decide this issue, but Obama has not had a chance yet to fill the court with leftists, so the law will be upheld.

Two things have to happen simultaneously to fix the illegal immigration problem:

1. Do a much better job at the border of stopping more from coming in.

2. Punish employers who hired illegal immigrants and impose stiffer penalties for doing so.

The problem has to be attacked from both the supply and demand sides of the equation at the same time. It's the only way to guarantee maximum effectiveness with minimum disruption to the economy.

Funny you should say that, given the actually text of SB 1070. Ruben Navarrette apparently hasn't read the law either when he suggests Arizona is "turning a blind eye to employers in the interior."

Section 6 of SB 1070 deals specifically and thoroughly with the process for punishing employers who hire illegal aliens.

Be careful what you wish for - unless you're into that sort of thing!

Oh come on, you know there's separatists in a lot of states. Why wouldn't AZ be one of them and why wouldn't this issue create more of them?

They will never legally enforce immigration law without leaving the Union either.
