Authorities Bust Massive Southwest Drug Smuggling Ring

Authorities say the ring virtually monopolized smuggling routes along an 80-mile section of the Arizona-Mexico border from Yuma to just east of the small Tohono O'odham Nation town of Sells.

Yep, not a reason in the world to worry about Illegal Immigration or a secure border, just nothing to see here dumbass's move along...

Actually more reason to have an armed Military presence along the border with explicit orders to shoot and kill!
Its a tough way to go, just consider it a "No GO Zone"

Arizona authorities have disrupted a Mexican drug cartel's distribution network, arresting dozens of smugglers in dismantling a ring responsible for carrying more than $33 million worth of drugs through the state's western desert every month, officials said Monday.
The ring is believed be tied to the Sinaloa cartel -- Mexico's most powerful -- and responsible for smuggling more than 3.3 million pounds of marijuana, 20,000 pounds of cocaine and 10,000 pounds of heroin into the U.S. through Arizona over the past five years, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Their efforts in that time generated an estimated $2 billion, according to ICE

Arizona Legislature OKs Presidential 'Birther' Bill

Too Funny,
But honestly can you disagree with this?

I'm sure there will be some sort of backlash somewhere, some anti American liberal assclown will spin some sort of racist remarks all around this!

PHOENIX -- The Arizona Legislature gave final approval late Thursday night to a proposal that would require President Obama and other presidential candidates to prove they are U.S. citizens before their names can appear on the state's ballot.

Arizona would become the first state to require such proof if Gov. Jan Brewer signs the measure into law.

Republican Rep. Carl Seel of Phoenix, the author of the bill, said the bill wasn't about opposition to Obama. "This bill is about the integrity of our elections," Seel

Arizona's Altered Immigration Law Takes Effect, State Heads Back to Court

WTF?

Obama has effectively started the Ball rolling for The Hugest Division of beliefs within the United States .

Now it is O.K. to break the Law , it is O.K. for non Residents to come here and take our Jobs , it is O.K. For Illegal Aliens to do whatever they want .

The Majority of U.S. Citizens oppose Illegal Immigration , But Obama and his political hoodlums are pro Immigration ??

At a time when jobs are being lost at an alarming rate , The Obama Administration is welcoming thousands of Illegals to the U.S. to compete for those Jobs !

It's ass Backwards , it's just plain wrong .

Arizona's court-altered illegal immigration law went into effect just after midnight Wednesday, hours after a federal judge blocked its most controversial provisions -- including on-the-spot police checks of suspected illegal immigrants.

Arizona's court-altered illegal immigration law went into effect just after midnight Wednesday, hours after a federal judge blocked its most controversial provisions -- including on-the-spot police checks of suspected illegal immigrants.

Brewer vowed to take the case "all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary," in a legal process that could take years to unravel, leaving other states considering similar laws in a legislative limbo.

While opponents of Arizona's strict immigration law are claiming victory after Wednesday's ruling, there's still plenty left in the state legislation that supporters are cheering.

As the case is litigated, Arizona will be able to block state officials from so-called "sanctuary city" policies limiting enforcement of federal law; require that state officials work with federal officials on illegal immigration; allow civil suits over sanctuary cities; and to make it a crime to pick up day laborers.

Arizona immigration law sponsor blasts feds over 'political' lawsuit

If it is about racial Profiling , How come it was not in the Lawsuit against Arizona ?

Foxnews
(CNN) -- The Arizona lawmaker who sponsored the state's controversial new immigration law blasted Tuesday's lawsuit by the Justice Department, saying, "The misinformation out there is outrageous."

Appearing on CNN's "Campbell Brown" hours after the suit against the state was filed, Arizona state Sen. Russell Pearce, a Republican, said, "The Obama administration simply is filing suit, a political lawsuit if you will, (be)cause they have no leg to stand on."

"They are simply trying to enforce their current policy of no enforcement and amnesty. That's what it's about. They're not worried about (racial) profiling and this bill prohibits it," Pearce said.

State Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, a Democrat, disagreed, telling Brown, "The Department of Justice has the clear authority and legal right to bring suit, even before the law is implemented. This law presents a great challenge and really interesting legal question for our whole country, and hopefully this lawsuit can provide some clarity... so we can know where the state authority ends in terms of implementing immigration reform and where federal authority begins."

Asked by Brown about complaints from some Arizona police agencies about the new law, Pearce dismissed the criticism as "fabrications."

"Nine out of 15 sheriffs endorse this bill," Pearce explained. "The state Fraternal Order of Police endorses this bill. The Border Patrol Association endorses this bill... the police chiefs don't endorse it because they work for open-border mayors, sanctuary mayors who always stated they don't want to enforce the law," Pearce said.

The law, signed by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer in April, is considered the toughest legislation in the United States dealing with illegal immigration.

Ann Arbor illegal immigrant jailed after protest at Sen. McCain's office

So a Gay Iranian Muslim , who is an Illegal Immigrant , decides to protest and gets his ass thrown in jail for breaking the law !
Now he faces Deportation , But back to Iran ?
If Iran gets him they will already Know that he is Gay , And he will be Hanged !
Maybe this Dumbass Should have thought about that before he decided to get Arrested , And it would not be because of Arizona's immigration law ! It is because you are not supposed to be in this country ILLEGALLY !


Freep.com
A Muslim illegal immigrant from Ann Arbor who fears deportation to Iran because he is gay is in jail today after leading a sit-in protest Monday inside the office of Sen. John McCain over Arizona's new immigration law. Tonight in Detroit, a vigil for him is to be held in Clark Park.

Mohammad Abdollahi, 24, of Ann Arbor was one of a group of protesters who were arrested Monday at the Tucson, Ariz., offices of McCain after trespassing and sitting in the office in protest of the Arizona law targeting illegal immigrants. He could now face deportation proceedings.

A spokeswoman for McCain, Brooke Buchanan, said today that their office gave the protesters leeway and did not immediately call the police when they arrived at the office with an attorney. McCain's office let them even stay inside the office one hour past closing time.

Buchanan said that McCain is committed to immigration reform, but the U.S. must first secure its borders. McCain has called for the National Guard to be deployed on the southern border to stem a rising tide of violence.

Study shows broad support for Arizona migrant law

Soooooo , Again we have a large majority of U.S. Citizens are in support of Arizona Clamping down on Illegal Immigration .
Sounds about right to me , With the exception of a few Certain Democratic Politicians and Of course your standard people who benefit from USING migrant workers , The only ones really Bitching About this law would be the Illegal Immigrant's .
Sorry people but you must Abide by the Law !
But with Obama in Charge I'm sure we will have some sort of Amnesty for Illegals Crammed down our throats , just like the Healthcare reform !

(Reuters) - A solid majority of Americans back Arizona's tough crackdown on illegal immigrants, while just 25 percent support President Barack Obama's immigration policy which includes legalizing millions of unauthorized migrants, a study found on Wednesday.

The controversial Arizona law passed last month requires state and local police, after making "lawful contact," to check the immigration status of anyone they reasonably suspect is in the country illegally, and arrest those who cannot prove it.

The report by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press (www.people-press.org) found that 59 percent of adults polled in a national survey gave their overall approval to the law, which opponents charge is unconstitutional and a mandate for racial profiling.

Seventy-three percent said they backed a measure requiring people to produce documents verifying their legal status if police ask for them, while 67 percent approve of allowing police to detain anyone who cannot verify that they are in the country legally.

The new law has pushed a debate over immigration to the fore in U.S. politics, and rebooted a drive by Obama and Senate Democrats to overhaul federal immigration laws -- although it is seen as a longshot before November congressional elections.

Obama supports a system allowing undocumented immigrants in good standing to pay a fine, learn English and become citizens. He also backs tightening border security and clamping down on employers that hire undocumented workers.

The survey, carried out among 994 adults -- found that only 25 percent supported Obama's handling of immigration policy, while more than twice as many -- 54 percent -- said they disapproved.

17 Suspected Illegal Immigrants Caught in Search for Ariz. Deputy's Attackers

Not only did Illegal Immigrants shoot a Sheriffs Deputy , While they were Breaking more than A few laws ! They also shot at Police helicopters that were searching for them !
What nice people these Immigrants can be !


Foxnews
PHOENIX -- Authorities have captured 17 suspected illegal immigrants in southern Arizona as they continued their manhunt Saturday for smugglers who they say shot and wounded a sheriff's deputy in a remote desert area 50 miles south of Phoenix.

Three of those captured overnight Friday matched descriptions from the wounded Pinal County deputy and were being questioned Saturday, sheriff's Lt. Tamatha Villar said. The deputy was released from the hospital, and was recovering at home.

The shooting came amid a growing national debate over the state's new law cracking down on illegal immigration. A backlash over the law has erupted, with civil rights activists, concerned it will lead to racial profiling, calling for protests and boycotts.

Criticism of the law was sure to figure prominently at dozens of immigrants rights marches and rallies planned for Saturday across the nation, including one set for the grounds of the Arizona state Capitol.

The new law's passage came amid increasing anger in Arizona about violence, drug smugglers and illegal immigration drop houses. The issue gained renewed attention a month ago when a southern Arizona rancher was shot and killed by a suspected illegal border crosser.

Arizona politicians called Friday's shooting an outrage and urged the federal government to do more to secure the U.S.-Mexico border.

The violence "should show the rest of the country what we Arizonans have known for too long -- the unsecured border poses a very real and very immediate danger," said U.S. Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, a Democrat whose district includes part of Pinal County

ABC News
The frustration had been building for years in Arizona with every drug-related kidnapping, every home invasion, every "safe house" discovered crammed with illegal immigrants from Mexico.

The tensions finally spilled over this month with passage of the nation's toughest law against illegal immigration, a measure that has put Arizona at the center of the heated debate over how to deal with the millions of people who sneak into the U.S. every year.

A number of factors combined to produce the law: a heavily conservative Legislature, the ascent of a Republican governor, anger over the federal government's failure to secure the border, and growing anxiety over crime that reached a fever pitch last month with the slaying of an Arizona rancher, apparently by an illegal immigrant.

"It's something that should have been taken care of for years. It's not something we can keep slacking on," said Thomas Fitch, whose neighborhood was the site of a raid last month that netted 11 illegal immigrants in a safe house. "At the rate we're going now, it's going to get a lot worse."

The new law makes it a state crime to be in the U.S. illegally and directs police to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are illegal.

Critics warned that the law could result in racial profiling and other abuses, and they are planning a legal challenge and a November referendum to overturn the measure. Supporters of the law say it is a commendable effort to combat what is fast becoming a scourge in the U.S.

Arizona is the biggest gateway into the U.S. for illegal immigrants. The state is home to an estimated 460,000 illegal immigrants — a population larger than that of entire cities such as Cleveland, St. Louis and New Orleans.

The Republican-dominated Legislature has backed a series of tough immigration measures in the past decade, only to have the most aggressive efforts thwarted by then-Gov. Janet Napolitano, a Democrat.

No surprise there !

New York politicians rip into Arizona immigration law, call it 'un-American'

And off we go , All the name calling and crying foul has begun !

so It has come down to this , If you are against illegal aliens coming in to the UNITED STATES ,
if you are against giving illegal aliens all access to Americas social Programs ,

if you are against people , including illegal aliens , running around the UNITED STATES without any identification and driving cars ,

if you are against these people coming here and taking jobs ,

YOU ARE A RACIST !

ask yourself a few questions ,
Why are so many of the Liberal Democrats , all for giving 12 to 20 Million illegal immigrants amnesty ?

why is it these same liberal loons , cry foul when anyone speaks out against Amnesty ?

Why is it You are considered a racist and just plain mean spirited because you don't believe in the same insanity of handing over a large population of people here that have already broken our Laws ?

I Believe that many in the Democratic Party stand to greatly benefit from giving amnesty to the 12 million plus lawbreakers in the U.S., so much so that they will
sell out you and me and every other Legal citizen of the United States .

I say the Liberal ass clowns that are in charge Are Extremely Un-American !


NY Daily News
A stringent new Arizona law aimed at identifying and prosecuting illegal immigrants drew harsh criticism Saturday from New York politicians and activists.

"We do need comprehensive immigration law in this country but not like this," said Sen. Chuck Schumer. "This law is mean-spirited and I'm opposed to it."

Are opposed to it because you will loose some votes ? Or because you will loose some cheap labor around your house ?

On Friday, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed a bill into law making failure to carry proof of citizenship or legal status a crime, and any immigrants who can't produce the documentation can be arrested, fined $2,500 and jailed for up to six months.

Critics fear it would give cops free reign to harass the state's Hispanic population.

Why Just the Hispanics ? they were not named in this bill ! Are they the only ones running around without I.D ? They seem to be the only ones that are Crying like little babies About this !

Mayor Bloomberg said the law, which takes effect in August, could hurt the country financially because it "sends exactly the wrong message."

Public Advocate Bill de Blasio deemed it "un-American" legislation that "does nothing to address the pressing problems of our broken immigration system."

Brewer ordered the state to create a training course on how to enforce the law without violating anyone's civil rights. "We must enforce the law evenly, and without regard to skin color, accent or social status," she said.

"The disturbing trend of our immigration policies being influenced by xenophobia and racial profiling has reached a new level in Arizona," de Blasio said. "[This new law] is offensive, discriminatory and does nothing to address the pressing problems of our broken immigration system."

then Get off your overpaid Dead ass and do something about the Immigration problems in the U.S. !

"But as a country, America will be badly hurt if more states follow Arizona's lead," he said. "Foreign investment and tourism are critical to our national economy, and this new law sends exactly the wrong message to international companies and travelers."

An estimated 12 million undocumented workers live in the U.S. Bloomberg called on Washington to lead the way with comprehensive reform. Schumer has been meeting with lawmakers to draft such immigration policy.

Immigrant rights activists are expected to rally nationwide on May 1 in as part of an annual call for immigration and economic reform. In the city, that rally is set for 12 noon in Foley Square near City Hall.

What will Washington do about the Arizona immigration law? Or Obama Says What ?

“Our failure to act responsibly at the federal level will only open the door to irresponsibility by others,”

That's Right , The Obamasiah does it again , He makes it clear that We or the State political systems We have are Irresponsible in their actions to Govern the States as we see fit !

Only the Federal Government can be so responsible , to do so !

Mr. Obama , Just because you Are the President , it does not make you Better than anyone else !

What is Irresponsible About wanting to know who a person is ? When we get pulled over by the Police , we must show our Drivers License !
We don't like doing it , But it is the Law !

When did Common sense (Showing legal I.D.) become Irresponsible !


The Christian Science Monitor
Washington
Immigration has shot to center stage in Washington, following the signing Friday by Gov. Jan Brewer (R) of Arizona of legislation that makes it a state crime to be in the United States illegally. The law also requires Arizona police officers to question people about their immigration status if there is cause for suspicion.

It is being called the toughest legislation against illegal immigration in the country.

At the signing ceremony in Phoenix, Governor Brewer defended what she called her “unwavering signature” on the bill, despite concerns that the new law could result in racial profiling and other violations of civil liberties.

Arizona, which borders on Mexico, has long struggled with illegal immigration. Brewer discussed “border-related violence and crime due to illegal immigration,” but added that she had worked with legislators to strengthen civil-rights protections in the bill.

Brewer also blamed Washington for failing to address the immigration crisis in the US, where estimates of the undocumented immigrant population range from 12 million to 20 million.

“We in Arizona have been more than patient waiting for Washington to act,” Brewer said. “But decades of inaction and misguided policy have created a dangerous and unacceptable situation.”

Arizona Immigration Enforcement Bill Stirs National Debate

Illegal Immigration makes everyone angry , you get to a point where you just can't take it anymore .


"When do we stand up for Americans and America? Enough is enough," he told Fox News on Tuesday. "Arizona has become ground zero. We're number two in the world in kidnapping. ... We're not taking it anymore. We're going to enforce our laws, with compassion."

And with the drug wars escalating way out of hand on the Borders , things will get worse !

It seems that to some in the U.S. it is shameful to be an American , and everything about illegal Immigration is good , if you are an illegal , people think you deserve more than everyone else !

And what is wrong with making the Running of illegal aliens A crime ?
Coyotes that transport illegals are abusive murdering Human rights violators of the worst Kind .

Some U.S. politicians want to give all illegal immigrants Amnesty , it ain't right and it is not fair , but how else are those in favor of this , to get all those VOTES ?

An Arizona bill that would impose some of the toughest immigration laws in the country is generating a storm of controversy nationwide as it tracks toward the governor's desk.

The Arizona Senate voted Monday to approve the final version of the bill, which was voted up on a party-line vote by the state House last Tuesday. If it's signed by Gov. Jan Brewer, it would give police in the state broad new powers to arrest and charge people suspected of being in the country illegally.

The legislation
has attracted widespread attention, with some accusing the state of sanctioning a racial profiling program that flies in the face of residents' civil rights.

Most recently, the head of the nation's largest archdiocese said the bill would encourage "German Nazi and Russian Communist techniques."

Cardinal Roger Mahony, who heads the Los Angeles archdiocese, made the comments in his blog Sunday, a day before the Arizona Legislature passed the bill.

Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., also led a press conference Tuesday on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., to denounce the proposal and call on the federal government
to put pressure on Arizona officials not to enforce it.

"The president needs to say on immigration laws, the Constitution is clear we preempt all state laws," he said.

The bill contains several provisions. Among them, it would create a new state misdemeanor crime for failing to carry alien registration documents; allow officers to arrest immigrants unable to show documents proving their legal residence; allow people to sue if they feel a government agency has adopted a policy that hinders immigration enforcement; prohibit people from blocking traffic when they seek or offer day labor services on street corners; and make it illegal for people to knowingly transport illegal immigrants.

But in the absence of a federal immigration overhaul, some are coming down in support of the proposal.

Republican Sen. John McCain, who is in a tight race against primary challenger J.D. Hayworth in Arizona, has come out in favor of the bill, despite co-authoring a bill four years ago with the late Sen. Ted Kennedy that was derided by some as amnesty.

Arizona state Sen. Russell Pearce, who is sponsoring the measure, dismissed claims that the bill would lead to arbitrary profiling and said the bill is needed to help Arizona deal with rampant crime. He cited the recent killing of local rancher Robert Krentz by a suspected illegal immigrant.

"When do we stand up for Americans and America? Enough is enough," he told Fox News on Tuesday. "Arizona has become ground zero. We're number two in the world in kidnapping. ... We're not taking it anymore. We're going to enforce our laws, with compassion."
