Maybe the GOP can make us into a neo-fascist state where everyone who isn’t an Anglo-Saxon has to have proof of citizenship?

Pretty pretty please?

I am afraid, americantaxpayer (and by the way, I pay plenty of taxes so my opinion is just as important at yours), your information about the federal government and immigration is totally false.  In point of fact, the inflow of illegals has been significantly reduced and a considerable percentage of those here has dropped as well.

I realize that the Right wing always wants to point to the crappy federal government, but in point of fact, the Bush administration and the Obama administration has made good strides in reducing the illegals.  While the Republican Legislatures in states like Arizona want to blow their horns and threaten the hispanic population, they show themselves to be totally out of touch with reality.

Anyone who wants, can find these facts about immigration.  Stronger enforcement is the key to the changes in the illegal immigration.

By the way, the deal with your last sentence tells the tale as does your arrogant username.  The simple facts are that these illegal immigrants you claim do not pay taxes in actual fact pay a lot of taxes.  The sad thing is that far too many on the right (I am an independent voter as well but I don’t “hate” the democrats or republicans), simply find that it is easier to point to someone else as the enemy rather than put up viable ideas that actually help the American citizen.

But you keep on with your beliefs, I prefer to stick with the reality.

The problem is Harvey, the term “illegal”, means breaking the law. The federal govt does nothing so the states have to deal with it. What rights do they have if they’re in the US illegally? Why not just round them up and drop them off in Iraq or Afghan? 12 million illegals paying no federal or state income taxes. That’s about 1.2 - 12 billion a year lost. Most probably have driver’s license and use service’s paid by real american taxpayers. I’m an independent and hate both dems and repubs. Both parties are at equal fault.

Bob,

If an undocumented immigrant is incarcerated, who pays?  The AZ government will pay for the incarceration, and for health care.  Have you run the numbers?

What is the definition or “reasonably suspect”?  Can any definition that you can think of withstand a 4th Amendment challenge?

Regarding salt regulation, what is the economic cost of the american factory food diet?  Suggest you watch the movie “FOOD, INC.” and write a review in a future blog post.

Two words for Scherer’s very misguided (trying to be nice here), commentary.  Bull Feces.

This law is simply one more shot across the bow of the weird world of Tea Bagger reality.  The arch conservative state of Arizona (and yes folks I have lived there), has once again shown a disdain for simple adherence to the rights declared in our Constitution.  The very idea that a Phoenix Cop, or heaven forfend one of Sheriff Arapaio’s goons decided to stop a “suspected illegal” on the street and DEMAND HIS or HER PAPERS, simply is loathsome.  But hey, it was the standard in Germany in the 30s, so why not in RABID RED ARIZONA in the 2000s?

However, this level of commentary does not surprise me, Sherer shows his hard rabid right bias in every single one of his “blogs”.  One might take him a teensy bit more serious if he ever hewed to a more centrist position.  But no, like his evident hero, Krauthammer, Scherer must flay the hide from the Democrats and LEFTISTS and PROTECT OUR AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE.

To even consider that this LAW was reasonable is to show that one simply had no concept of rights of remaining free of police harrassment.  Funny how the Republican Conservatives and Tea Baggers are ranting all the time about keeping government out of their business, yet one such as Sherer has the audacity to heartily applaud this idiocy from Arizona and wrongfully points to the President of the United States as being out of the box….

Two words indeed Mr. Scherer, BULL FECES.
