Arizona governor signs immigration bill

[AZTheta]

First, regarding Joe Arpaio: where to start? His behavior is legendary and well documented. It astounds me that the residents of Maricopa County have not yet voted him out of office.

I am proud of Sheriff Clarence Dupnik. As Andrew Jackson said, "one man with courage is a majority." Someone needed to speak up about how WRONG this law is. It is, simply, WRONG. What is so difficult to understand about that?

That said, the border issues are incredibly complex and troubling. No one in this thread has yet referred to the recent murder of the Cochise County rancher, Rob Krentz, by a suspected drug smuggler. His murder has added fuel to the fire.

Latest news this morning is that the Federal Government is casting an eye at the AZ law, and I say "hurry up."

So sad. Don't think making the drug dealers carry their immigration papers will help stop them, though. Which I'm sure is your point, Maria.

Thank you, Angela. Complex, troubling, complicated... walls and papers aren't going to solve the problems.

But, when the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

I think Kevin really started getting into the meat of the problem, but he didn't delve into the whole world of the "war on drugs". No little bandaid will help that issue no matter how badly we might wish it would. I really do feel for those ranchers on the border who have drug dealers running right through their property. What can they do?
