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.

I definitely have sympathy for states like Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas which bear a disproportionately high share of the burden when it comes to U.S. imigration. I'll admit it, I would go crazy living in one of those places, knowing that my taxes were paying for their healthcare and schools, and that they were contributing nothing to my state or country in the way of income or property taxes, which are desperately needed in places like California - a state literally going bankrupt.
I am not opposed to a wall, since the boundary has not been respected.
