Yes, it is good news for Arizona and for patriotic Americans, but it is bad news for La Raza! Arizona really does need to have the border fence built there to keep out the illegal alien invaders, so all Arizonans should contact their US Reps and demand that the fence that Congress ordered to be built actually is built.
All loyal Americans must contact their US House representative and ask that The Secure Borders First Act of 2007 is passed. We must demand that the President enforce all of our immigration laws. Bush has been very lax in prosecuting businesses that knowingly employ illegal aliens. We won a major victory in defeating the Senate Shamnesty bill, but we cannot rest.

Strange, I wonder what Mexicans have against obeying laws. After all, if you don't break the law, no need to fear any Sheriff. You sure do spend a lot of time on the internet trying to defend illegal invaders, you'd think that time would be better spent working or trying to get an education, but hwy, we all can't be winners. I urge everyone to" just say no" to cut-and-paste LOL>

Good for Arizona, I particularly like 1265 and 2779 and 2467 is pretty great also.
Way to go Arizona, congrats for doing what our federal government fails to do on a regular basis... Wonder what McCain thinks?

Everything looks good to me except 1552 which means because of the winter air inversion over Phx and Tucson you won't be able to have fires in your fireplaces at home.

Very. But it is strict. It is a 'knowing' hiring of illegal immigrant standard, which is hard to prove, but the first time you are fined, the second time you lose your business license.
