I'm not sure where everyone in this thread is from but there are already parts of the country that do random stops.

Exactly -- they are random, which is fine. What isn't fine is stopping people on the non-random suspicion that they are here illegally, when they haven't shown signs of committing any other crime. It's hard to imagine any enforcement system where this law would impose equal burdens on white and Hispanic citizens of Arizona. If enforced as written, it's going to lead to lots of interrogation of Hispanic-looking people in large part because they appear Hispanic.

CBP is always hiring IT security specialists.. those folks require a higher clearance than Confidential, but that's true of a lot of IT security jobs, government or not so I think that's related more to the types of information that those positions can access inherently.

Right. Also, many of the IT-related jobs within the federal government require security clearances, even the support positions, because you may need to work on the computer of someone who has a security clearance and keeps confidential information on their PC.

Not all, but at least a handful. This is especially true of private companies who contract with the federal government.

I'm going to get so many flames for this, but some of the comments really are annoying the heck out of me, so I figure it is only time to have a person post who is PRO this law.

I'm glad they did this! It is about time! Obviously the federal government doesn't give a darn about the huge amounts of illegal immigrants in Arizona. No offense, but these illegal immigrants are draining our Arizona economy, because as the "legal" citizen, my taxes are going to take care of their butts.

I'm going to get flames left and right but until you have lived in Arizona your whole life and you have physically been the victim of an illegal immigrant stealing your identity or an illegal immigrant getting services that you can't even get as the LEGAL CITIZEN, you can't possibly understand!

They are here ILLEGALLY. I don't understand why people don't get this. ILLEGAL. Broke the law. Hello a crime was committed! This shouldn't be a difficult concept to understand, but yet somehow it is.

As for Border Patrols. What good do they do when most illegal immigrants go through the desert? That is why Arizona has been fighting for so long to get the fence up and activated. That is why my brother, when he was in the National Guard, was stationed down in Yuma, to monitor the border.

Now Arizona may not be the brightest bulb in the shed (look how they have cut funding to education and social services) but they gotta do what they gotta do to protect the border and state from illegal immigration, because the government isn't doing it for them. Maybe the federal government will "pay attention" now that they (Arizona) has done soemthing so drastic.

These phrases are message board pet peeves of mine.

As long as you don't think you are the first to post in this thread.

You're the one who doesn't understand.

If my response is interpreted as a "flame" then consider how you prefaced your post and your tone.

I was up in Stevens, Ferry, and Pend Oreille counties, they also drive really poorly. Worse than Oregon drivers, and they make me have road rage for days. I regret ever going to the Walmart in Colville as those Red Green worshipers nearly killed me.

Lets not try to act like Arizona is the only place with an "illegal" problem. "They are using my tax dollars," "they use my services," "you don't know unless you live here" is uttered by everyone when they want to complain about illegal immigration. Arizona is not special, but you're right-- Arizona is definitely "not the brighest bulb in the shed" (your words, not mine) because other states with similar problems don't resort to this kind of stupidity.
