| Ariz. governor signs immigration enforcement bill |
| 2010-04-24 |
| PHOENIX – Gov. Jan Brewer ignored criticism from President Barack Obama on Friday and signed into law a bill supporters said would take handcuffs off police in dealing with illegal immigration in Arizona, the nation's busiest gateway for human and drug smuggling from Mexico. With hundreds of protesters outside the state Capitol shouting that the bill would lead to civil rights abuses, Brewer said critics were "overreacting" and that she wouldn't tolerate racial profiling. "We in Arizona have been more than patient waiting for Washington to act," Brewer said after signing the law. "But decades of inaction and misguided policy have created a dangerous and unacceptable situation." Earlier Friday, Obama called the Arizona bill "misguided" and instructed the Justice Department to examine it to see if it's legal. He also said the federal government must enact immigration reform at the national level — or leave the door open to "irresponsibility by others." Like...you? "That includes, for example, the recent efforts in Arizona, which threaten to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans, as well as the trust between police and their communities that is so crucial to keeping us safe," Obama said. Yeah, well that's if they "don't act stupidly". Then I sic Holder on them... |

| #14 Ah shit, its an olde arguement - stuff words in someone's mouth and argue for lawlessness, not for real solutions. Simple fucking fact is step 1 get control of the border, step 2 through goose or off or wtf ever you want to call it can not happen. Want amnysty or fast track citizen then control then control the border. Want to bust the tresspassers then control the border. Either way, or something in between, US Policy would be set from a position of strength and not hope or rhetoric. And of course, if it is civil war or worse a trans-national coalition of business allied paramilitary gangs on the offensive then yeah. Secure the fucking border because that shit is called war. People are already dead no matter how ponderous the media acts. "Mexico dangerous? Why, I didn't know that.." Furthermore, the stadium has always been open, just got to go to the ticket booth, stand in line, go through the turnstyle, and behave accordingly just like every other person has done. |

| #11 Meanwhile, the Mexican elite is well past the advanced planning stages of exporting an entire fucking civil war into our territory. That was their real plan all along; avoid reform and power sharing with the population, exploit the idiots in the Beltway and in American business, dump the low end of economic and social [indios y meztisos] ladder on the US, and export any potential revolution. What they didn't factor in was the incredible effect that the drug business would have in magnifying their historic political corruption and introduce a new party into the internal 'power' game. |

| #10 Ah, so basically you're now saying I'm a fucking Nazi for wanting the US to be a country instead of a colony of a foreign power. Meanwhile, the Mexican elite is well past the advanced planning stages of exporting an entire fucking civil war into our territory. |

| #9 I assume that's what you're imply. Nope. Just pointing out that they demand more of others than they extend to others themselves. One set of rules for me, another set of rules for thee. I'd call it hypocrisy but there is no hypocrisy in the pursuit of power. Power is self rationalizing. |

| #8 Well hell then, time to marshal the trains, or Buses? Dump them sorry suckers on the border and tell 'em never to come back. And if they try, kill 'em, because we damn sure can't afford to jail 'em. Best to just knock 'em off and be done with the problem. Or, hummmm... maybe we could knock off the folks that employ 'em.... a bullet behind the ear (RB solution #1). Or perhaps we could build thousands and thousands of 1 Mex SpaceShips and send them to Mars where they could work for minimum-wage and steal good jobs from the natives. Or not. Q-ships, 3-cell ArcLights and DNA transmorgification are also possibilities. Also: MOAB |
