Arizona's Immigration Law Is Constitutional--and Already Working

U.S. presidents should never side with foreign governments over their own people

Back to argument

Arizona is not creating immigration policy; it is simply enforcing federal law when the feds won't.

This article of bare assertions is not supported by any quotation or citation that one might use to verify anything that's been stated. This is just self-congratulatory nonsense.

Provide any proof that a) the crime rate has gone down since implementation of this bill, b) that the crime rate prior was, indeed, caused by illegal immigrant in general rather than criminals here to service the drug trade, and c) that the criminals servicing the drug trade give a crap about Arizona's or any other law enforcement and you'll have a case. Until then, just shut up about it already and wait for the court to settle the matter.

As with nearly EVERY politician these days, just because you say doesn't make it so. Prove your statement or you're just another lying twit who's managed to fool enough sheep to get a cushy government job.

Its already working and creating a better and more secure life for the people. I honestly have a hard enough time paying for my children's healthcare while illegal immigrants enjoy it for free at my expense.

Pearce, you are an idiot.

If it wasn't illegal they call them legal immigrants. Illegal is againts the law period. Clean up our mess before u take on other people's messes.
