Do you still think that Arizona is being too harsh?

A number of Issues come to mind,

From a Law Enforcement Officers standpoint, I would welcome this law in my State.

It would be another tool to add to our kit. We could lessen the burden on our

local resources to house, feed, Prosecute and choke our already depleted

budgets. These Illegals would immediately go to the Federal agency's, And not

suck up space in our facility's.

The Law being applied SB 1070 is almost Per Batem the Law the ICE Agency

and Border Patrol ad-hear to at this time. So whats the big problem.

If I were the Gov. Of Arizona I would invite President Calderon and Obama to come

and address the Legislative full house in Az. And see what kind of reaction they

would receive. Time for Buckwheat to shut the hell up. And defend this country

for a change.

I read Mother Jones magazine, which is independent if slightly left leaning... and even they detail the effect that this has had on Southern AZ.

They tell of native Americans who use to farm there using collected rainwater, but have left the area due to fear of the 2-legged "coyotes" and violence.

I think for a state to go this far, they must have been getting to the end of their rope. It's not like we employ that many border agents anyway. I genuinely believe that the people of Arizona are doing what they feel they must and not out of maliciousness or racism.

I live in Texas, where just yesterday they were detailing the same issues are cropping up in the western portion of our state. I feel some sympathy for them, but I also feel it is not my place, as a person who lives 2 states away, to dictate to them how they should handle problems that I have never had to deal with!

I've read the Arizona law and looked at how it stacks up against federal immigration law and it is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what people are claiming. It's much weaker than the federal law.

Tell you what in the morning after fox has time to post their videos go to Bill O's site and watch Megyn Kelly's segment where she sits down and explains to him what the real deal is on the Arizona bill.

This criticism is nothing but political posturing to soften up the public for amnesty. The dem leadership is being totally dishonest and they Know It!

As an American of Mexican ancestry I have no fear of the Police asking for my I. D. at any time simply because I have committed no crime and am not afraid of them. My grandparents managed to get here legally.Those that are here illegally HAVE committed a crime and need to get right with the law soonest. We have been far too soft for far too long. We need to crack down on those who hire them first. I think a huge fine - like $10,000 per illegal hired - would do the trick in a hurry. This is a simple case of supply and demand. No demand and it doesn't matter how many people want to come here, there would be no reason to risk their lives crossing hostile territory and pay lots of money to Coyotes to get here.

For those that have been here for years and put down roots, a simple admission of guilt and payment of a reasonable fine (like a traffic ticket) and getting their paperwork straightened out at the courthouse would allow them to lift their heads with pride and they can then say I AM AN AMERICAN!

As far as the drug cartel people go that have no intention of being honest hardworking citizens - SHOOT THEM! Enough pussyfooting around with these thugs that give people that just want to improve their lives a bad name. Humanity is not helped one bit by letting these scum breathe one more breath.

Mexico and other Central American nations need to get their death sentence going and line these cartel people up in front of firing squads just like in the movie "Treasure of the Sierra Madre".

If enough of these scum are killed on a regular basis, all of a sudden the lure of easy money isn't so alluring.

And Mexico doesn't have the ACLU and a bunch of idiot bleeding hearts to put up with.

A great deal of the problem lies with the Mexican Government that has been corrupt for at least my whole life. They need to start making opportunity for their people so they don't have to leave and become a burden to this country. The laws in the U.S. are a joke compared to the laws in Mexico.

Anyone that lives along the border or anywhere in the southwest who has had their property vandalized or stolen, or had friends shot or stabbed by these idiotically so called honest illegal invaders supports Arizona. If Gov. Richardson here in New Mexico had any huevos, he'd do the same thing. But with the big D after his name, he's just another Obama butt boy.

The law is totally reasonable. They have to do something, all the money we pay our federal government and for some reason the issue continues without success......hmmm. Anyway, I wanted to let you know that Mexico itself has THE MOST RASH laws when it comes to illegal aliens. It is a felony to be an illegal in mexico. This is the strongest regulations in all of our continent, including the US and Canada. Maybe we should be using their protocols????? and maybe they should mind their own business.

I have family in Arizona and I support the law 100%. Something has to be done. Arizona is starting to look like something other than part of the USA. Crime is becoming outrageous there.

Didn't bother watching the clips. If the problem is drug dealers and coyotes, the solution makes NO sense. Why not ear mark more money for drug and gang intervention instead of just stopping Mexican looking people at random. Why not pass real laws against "coyotes" if they are the problem. There are more targetable soultions to the stated problems than violating the 4th and 14th amendment rights of legal immigrants.

Compoared to the law passed, the issues raised, no matter how true and valid amount to BS, they are merely being used to justify a law that will do little to solve the problems stated and much that those issues do not raise.

No. I feel for the people trying to get here and work legally but that's why we need work visas. Keep the bad guys out. Let the good guys in. Arizona has to stop the bad guys and protect the Arizona people this is the way they do it. They have to.

All they are doing is what the government will not do on a federal level. At worst it has brought the issue to the front, where it needs to be. Obama said he was going to reform this, but hasn't done anything. Now he has to address the issue.
