THE BORDER REPORT
I’ve been asked by several people why I didn’t cover any of the May Day marches in either Tucson or Phoenix today. My answer is, what’s the damned point?
The Arizona Daily Star reports 7,000 marching in Tucson today. The Arizona Republic has this gem: “Anger over Immigration Laws Drives U.S. Rallies,” saying 50,000 marched in Los Angeles (did noone march in Phoenix, the Republic’s home turf?). On a desmádre-istic sidenote, Shakira met with the mayor and chief of police of Phoenix and why the hell the powerhouses of the sixth largest city in the U.S. made time to meet with a singer on a last minute visit is something only the most degraded part of my imagination will contemplate. I’m surprised the ICE SAC for Arizona didn’t try to get in on this.
Where were these “activists” and marchers a month ago when 1070 was still being considered in the Arizona legislature? They march against a bill that has already been signed into law when they should have been actively opposing the bill’s signing as far back as the beginning of the year when it’s finer points were being debated.
There will be those who would say it’s the media’s fault for not bringing attention to the bill; I say nonsense. The media, including the Star, the Republic, The AP, the Phoenix New Times, (they covered its pending arrival exhaustively), the East Valley Tribune, and even bloggers have been writing about this bill for months. The goddamned thing has been floating around since at least January when a Senate research committee picked it up. Hell, it was on television.
No, I suspect what happened was good old-fashioned voter apathy. This other story caught my eye earlier this past week: Five states, Texas, Arizona, Florida, California and New York, (or, about 20 percent of all of us) are now in danger of losing Congressional seats because not enough residents bothered to fill out their Census forms.
People aren’t paying attention, they’re not watching what’s going on around them; even in this age of social media, Twitter, blogs, and 24 hour news everywhere you turn, people are not paying attention.
Then, after the fact, when it is all said and done, when the only way to change 1070 is in the courtroom, everybody hits the streets in outrage and protest; screaming that Gov. Jan Brewer is a Nazi and blah blah blah. I’m no fan of 1070 for my own reasons, most having to do with the threats against the Fourth Amendment, but the governor is not a Nazi. She moved completely in the open; so did the Senate, so did Russell Pearce who’d loudly clamored for his bill for months, so did the House. They weren’t paying attention.
So no, I’m not going to cover this feel-good irrelevance of a post-situation street festival.
Pon Atencíon. There are powerful people out there trying to screw you; then you hold a march and feel you’ve accomplished something. That’s embarrassing and with self-indulgent behavior like that, you deserve whatever they throw at you. Don’t complain now.
you are one fair hombre! I was going to say fair and balanced, pero all the kooks will attack! Those states in danger of losing representatives are actually all liberal seats, and that carnal makes my heart sing!

Yeah, in my defense, I didn’t know about this until Gov. Brewer signed it and you wrote about it.

i guess they thought the bill would never pass. but it has and now we must fight it tooth and nail.
what are we gonna do? just lie down and take it? wrong is wrong. both sides have valid arguments, but the way the right wing is going at it is wrong! and for all the so called hispanics supporting the bill, what a fooking disgrace. ” oh my family applied for citizenship and did it the legal way, they should too” VERGA! fook outta here with that bullshit.
it takes years and money to become a citizen from scratch. so unless your a mexican with money/influence or just discovered the cure to cancer, expect a long wait. many poeple cant wait long, they are in urgent need of money.
solidarity with all my hispanic brothers and sisters legal and illegal.

Those fooking Hispanics remind me of my Irish dad who hated my mom’s later-arriving Irish uncles. They were a bit uncouth, obnoxious, and he was convinced they were ne’er do wells. But, surprise, over the years, my mom’s side of the family became far better educated and wealthy.
Yeah, I know, they were legal immigrants – or, at least they said so. (Two of my dad’s uncles, it is said, snuck over the border from Canada.)
But the point is that the Hispanics who denigrate their own people are embarrassed, apparently, for being of Mexican heritage. Miserable self-righteous snobs they are.

Took the family to Jermoe, AZ today on a ghost hunt. They had about 100 people on a street corner protesting. On our drive into Sedona, they had about 200 on 89A. I couldn’t help but laugh. Honorable, but total waste of a perfect Saturday afternoon.

I don’t think he opposes the continuous protesting, I think what he means is that it’s too little too late from the activists that are now protesting against the SB1070, in his words, “Where were these “activists” and marchers a month ago when 1070 was still being considered in the Arizona legislature? They march against a bill that has already been signed into law when they should have been actively opposing the bill’s signing as far back as the beginning of the year when it’s finer points were being debated.”

I know in California, having an identification card is required over the age of 18. I think, though I don’t know for sure, that the same rules apply in Arizona.
The second part of your question; no, you are under no obligation to tell a cop who you are unless they have developed a reasonable suspicion to ask you first. If that’s the case, an entirely different set of rules apply.

It’s a state law (amended statutes in the state of Arizona) that are supposed to be enforced the same as federal law, but from state law enforcement as well.
Granted, the Feds have more leverage as to evidence produced in federal court, but nonetheless, local law enforcement agencies are not equipped to enforce immigration laws. The bill basically opened the floodgates to racial profiling; I commented in an earlier post regarding the issues with the amended state statutes.

Oh okay, I’ll check just in case, but unless you’re driving I don’t see why you would need your ID or driver’s license on you at all times. I don’t go jogging with my ID or my driver’s license.
I’ll check for Arizona. As for the Feds, what I meant was that they don’t go around harassing people, they are usually too busy with ongoing investigations, and basically they know whether or not someone is legally in the Untied States. Most of the time they pursue someone based on reasonable suspicion alone.

One element people are missing about the law is that it is being brought on by conservative Mormons fear that Mexicans are overwhelming the Mormon Church
Also Mike you have to admit Pearce is a real nutbag
From the Huffington post on Pearce:
State Sen. Russell Pearce, the principal sponsor of the Arizona legislation, has his own history of hate. In 2006, he forwarded an email to his supporters with a screed taken from the website of the neo-Nazi National Alliance titled “Who Rules America?” (answer: the Jews). The article concluded, “If our race fails to destroy it ['Jewish media control'], it certainly will destroy our race.” More recently, Pearce has been photographed hugging J.T. Ready, a Phoenix-area resident who is a member of the neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement.
It’s not much of a surprise that this was the cast of characters behind the mean-spirited new law in Arizona, which will have the effect of making citizens with brown skin second-class in every way. What’s truly shocking is that an entire state legislature would enact such an un-American law and that a governor pandering to far-right elements in her base would sign it.

Michel, it is sad how sheople make themselves so uninformed til it’s too late. Then groups of people protest. My biggest problem with all of it, is how this bill affects me and you, and every other citiczen. It’s intrusive.

[Reply]
Here’s what I don’t understand. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has already signed the law in effect. Protesters proved their point a week ago they weren’t happy about “The Law”. So why keep stirring up the pot? Why keep psychotically protesting? It won’t do any good. Arizona is not going to withdraw “The Law”. It’s a law that was needed. People now just need to get over it & focus on their lives. If Mexicans would stop flooding the US, this wouldn’t have happened. There isn’t anything wrong w/ a Mexican going through the proper legal channels to come to the US to work, but come the right way. That’s the problem. We, both Real Americans & Mexican Americans do not need to the drugs & thugs to follow them Stateside. The crime brought by these sick bastards is what has caused this issue. So if Mexicans want to be mad @ someone, be mad @ the thugs & cartels for this.
And with all of the attacks on citizens & law enforcement, especially in the recent months, it’s obvious this law is needed. And those here legally, they should be proud if they get stopped. They should show a sense of pride to pull out their Green Cards & docs that show they are here by US permission. Those that are really pissed are those that aren’t here legally. They know now they are potentially fooked. And I hope everyone of those thieves are caught for not having permission to be in the US & are put on a bus back to Hermosillo or wherever
they slipped up here from.
The US has laws. Arizona has laws. And illegal immigrants (roaches), don’t have a right to break them. Illegal immigrants don’t have any rights in the US. The rights are for Real Americans & Mexicans who entered the US with permission/legally. They sure don’t have a right to think THEY can protest our laws. Basically, for those going fanatic over “The Law”, if you don’t like it, if you’re afraid of being asked for legal docs, then why don’t y’all just leave & go back to Mexico or wherever it is you’re from. Why would you want to be somewhere that you’re not wanted? That makes no sense. Basically what people are protesting is to keep the crimes in Arizona & the US. That’s just absurd! We don’t want that shit here. We are America. Not some damn 3rd world country or refugee sanctuary.
It may sound like Shane hates Mexicans. Well I don’t. I just hate the ones up here illegally & the ones here causing crimes. It’s a logical dislike that over 70% of Real Americans share. We don’t want people who don’t deserve to be here in OUR country freeloading off us as taxpayers & the US government. It literally makes me vomit when I see signs on business that have content in Spanish under the English. That’s just ridiculous! If you can’t speak English or don’t learn English, then you don’t have any right being here. Those “roaches” need to learn OUR language. They need to learn OUR pledge of allegiance. They need to pay taxes. They should have to be US Citizens in order to receive any government benefits. And to add to that, they should be required to have worked in the US & paid taxes for atleast 5 years before eligibility to receive benefits. They should
contribute to Social Security. They should NOT get ONE thing free in the US.
How would Mexicans like it if the shoe was on the other foot? What it was American sneaking & swimming over the Mexican border, causing problems, wrecking havoc, killing Mexican citizens, trafficking drugs, beggin on street corners, running & hiding around Mexico like roaches & rats in order to hid from Mexican authorities. Kidnapping, raping, murdering, stealing, contaminating Mexico. Would y’all like that? Hell no you wouldn’t! Mexicans would be wanting Americans out of Mexico. Now you know how we feel.
Illegal immigrants & protesters have ruined travel & vacationing in Arizona for the months to come. All because they can’t break laws of the OUR land! That’s just sad & lame. The time they spend protesting, they could
be filling out papers for legally being in the US. Or at their job. No way that many people should be
skipping work to go to a picket fence rally. But I bet those rallying don’t have jobs anyway & are just up here stealing Real American taxpayers dollars in the form of government assistance & benefits.
Y’all just need to get the hell out if you’re here illegally. Take your nasty kids with you too. Even if they were born in a US hospital. Even if Americans did pay taxes so you could steal healthcare to go OUR hospitals. They still aren’t Real or True Americans. If a child is born here to illegal immigrants that broke the law by coming into the US illegally, then no damn way that child should be an American citizen. That’s what the
Constitution had in mind. The law was taken & twisted by crooks. Kids should be
deported too.
Whites & blacks across this once great country that has been overrun by Mexican roaches, are uniting as
one to fight for the right all illegal immigrants get the foot in the ass as they stand 12 inches from the border facing Mexico. That’s how bad y’all need to get out. When the blacks protest against you, them you know it’s an issue.
Basically, stop protesting. It’s not going to any good. “The Law” is signed & its going to happen. I just hope they can get all of the roaches exterminated.
And, oh, by the way, that amnesty talk bullshit, well, don’t get your hopes up. It’s not
going to happen.
Hope all you in the US legally have a good Sunday.

You definitely voiced your opinion. That’s a right you do have. I think its a safe bet to say you are against illegal immigration.
I agree with some of the points you’ve made, but some are pretty tough remarks. You’ll draw criticism for it. This blog is FOR illegal immigration & cartel operations. I’ve noticed posters on here do no take warm welcome to those that oppose their plans to (attempt to) takeover America. You’ll definitely see some blow back from the illegal Mexican community about this.

Jan Brewer for President!
[Reply]
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed a package of changes to the law aimed at tempering concerns that it would lead to profiling. The changes would restrict police from basing their questioning on race or ethnicity.
“These new statements make it crystal clear and undeniable that racial profiling is illegal, and will not be tolerated in Arizona,” Brewer said in a written statement.
Arizona officials have firmly defended the new law, saying it’s needed to enforce an out-of-control border problem and reduce crime.
Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., said on “Meet the Press” that federal officials should tone down their criticism of Arizona lawmakers.
“I don’t know if this law if perfect, but I do know that it is wrong for officials in this government to throw stones at the people of Arizona as they’re trying to re-assert the rule of law,” he said.

the screwed up thing is that the Arizona law enforcement have been practicing racial profiling forever. The DPS in flafstaff have been suited over it several times. This law hurts everyone.

Fenix Reply:
May 2nd, 2010 at 4:36 pm
A couple of questions Rabbit. If they’ve been racial profiling “forever”, then what difference will this law make?
How does this law “hurt everyone”? Not just illegal immigrants, but explain to me how this hurts “everyone” please. I’m just trying to get a feel for what this law is about in others minds.
If you’re here legally Rabbit, then how will you be giving up your 4th Amendment rights? Here is the 4th Amendment: The Fourth Amendment (Amendment IV) to the United States Constitution is the part of the Bill of Rights which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures. The amendment specifically also requires search and arrest warrants be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause. It was adopted as a response to the abuse of the writ of assistance, which is a type of general search warrant, in the American Revolution. Search and arrest should be limited in scope according to specific information supplied to the issuing court, usually by a law enforcement officer, who has sworn by it.
The new Arizona law doesn’t says you can be questioned of your legal status if you’ve been detained for breaking the law or if you’re under suspicion for a crime. The 4th guards us from “unreasonable” search & seizures. Gov Jan Brewer has made it clear no “unreasonable” searches. I believe Arizona law enforcement will be adequately trained on this law, so there is no need for anyone in the US to get their panties in a wad if you are here legally. If you’re here illegally, well, you will be saying “goodbye”.
This is a good law. If it restores order in Arizona, where illegal immigration is a nightmare, then we will all see the benefit.
We just can’t keep adding to the 15 million + illegal immigrants that have already broken the law & entered the country illegally. There isn’t enough room for all of Mexico to reside in the US. And most of all, the US deficit is way too much to keep adding people to free government benefits. I have to agree with that radical dude Shane, things have to come to a halt, or me, you, & everyone will see America become like Mexico.

Bro, it’s like this. It gives the cops the opportunity to stop and harrass anyone, all in the name of checking for illegals. that will lead to other abuses. I don’t mean to hurt anyones feelings with my views. But I have been on the other end of these cops. Almost every time they have lied about something. This just helps them to harrass the rest of us.
But I am not against cops completely. They have a job to do. Tough job. And prisons serve their purpose to an extent. But the prisons are busting at the seems. This country has more people locked up than any where else on earth. A lot of those cases are marijuana related. That don’t make any sense to me.
Now we are goinmg to overwhelm our legal system even more with people that are here illegaly? Don’t make sense either. The feds need to make some policy changes that work for once. It’s their problem.
[Reply]
The truly entertaining bit about the new papers-please regime in Arizona is that it’s actually harder for Americans to demonstrate that they’re legally in the US than it is for anyone else: to a zeroth-order approximation, no American has a passport (the most recent figure I’ve seen is 25%) or citizenship card, let alone carries it with them. Driver’s licenses and social security cards don’t demonstrate anything about the holder’s legal presence. In contrast, someone who is illegally in Arizona and might well already have an illicit social security card has little downside to acquiring knockoffs of whatever documents the local authorities want: I predict Arizona’s next booming industry will be forgery.

Well people in Arizona are just gonna have to take the responsibility to carry their “papers” with them at all times, or risk getting in trouble. Calling Arizona a “regime” is really going to far. People are acting as if this whole problem is Arizona’s fault. It’s not. It’s the US Federal Government’s & the illegal immigrants that insist on breaking the law. And if we really want to point out the real blame, then the Mexican Government is the overall blame. If those corrupt bastards would do their job & protect the citizens and improve conditions in Mexico, then this wouldn’t be happening. But this is FAR from Arizona’s fault. They just did what they had to do to protect their state & the people who are their legally.

Anyone pay any attention to all the activists from out of town? Why are they all in Arizona? The local news seem only to interview persons from Colrado, Texas, or California. Why is Shakira more important than local citizenry. Linda Ronstadt has a right to speak out, she lives here and was born here. It bothers me that certain luminaries have more acces to political leaders than the people they serve. Has anybody read the Mexican Constitution. I understand it harder on illegal or undocumant presons than the Arizona law is. In a tript o Palenque two years ago, it seemed like southern Mexico was an armed camp. I assumed it was drug enforcement, but friends from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras tell me other wise.

I just took this one off of Yahoo news. Failed policy?
PHOENIX – Arizona’s largest newspaper criticized U.S. Sens. John McCain and Jon Kyl and a host of other elected officials in a rare front-page editorial Sunday, saying the politicians have failed to find solutions to illegal immigration.
The state has become the target of calls for boycotts since adopting a law that requires local and state law enforcement officers to question people about their immigration status if there’s reason to suspect they’re in the country illegally.
“The federal government is abdicating its duty on the border. Arizona politicians are pandering to public fear,” The Arizona Republic said in a full-page editorial. “The result is a state law that intimidates Latinos while doing nothing to curb illegal immigration.”
Doug MacEachern, an editorial writer for the Republic, said the newspaper has put editorials on the front page over the years but this was the first time one filled the front page.
“It’s of sufficient importance that we thought it required something very over-the-top to grab people’s attention,” he told The Associated Press on Sunday.
The editorial appeared one day after thousands marched against the law in Phoenix and Tucson, Chicago, New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles, among other cities.
McCain was once a champion of comprehensive immigration reform but has abandoned his principles while he fights off a GOP primary challenge this year from former U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth, the Republic said.
McCain spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan said the senator has long believed the U.S. needs to secure the border first, and it’s “not even close to an election year conversion.”
“Sen. McCain has been calling for secure borders for over three years as the violence on the border continues to increase and spill over to our side of the border,” Buchanan said Sunday.
Kyl has also dropped efforts for comprehensive reform and is no longer willing to work with Democrats on the issue now that he’s a member of the Senate Republic leadership, the paper said.
“We already had several editorials setting out our objections to the new law, and this addresses the umbrella issue of a lack of leadership that really has played out over a number of years,” MacEachern said.
The editorial also named Gov. Jan Brewer, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and former governor and current Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
“Ensconced in a Democratic administration, she forgot all the arguments she once used to demand the Bush administration address immigration reform and reimburse Arizona for the costs of the broken border,” the Republic said. “Put in charge of Obama’s effort to craft immigration reform, she couldn’t get the thing out of neutral.”
Napolitano, speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” said more resources were being poured into securing the border than ever before.
“Every resource that can be put at that border is being put at the border. Every security is being made,” Napolitano said. “But we still need comprehensive immigration reform.”
The newspaper called for reform that allows for current undocumented immigrants to earn citizenship, secures the borders and puts tough sanctions in place for employers who hire undocumented immigramts.

People can boycott, but it won’t do any good. Eventually, everything will be back to normal & the new law will be working as planned. Illegal immigrants will still be breaking the law by entering the US illegally & drug cartels will still be trafficking drugs to the drug hungry US.
All of these protests do nothing but cost people money. If someone who worked for me, missed work to attend one of these protests or rallies, if they didn’t have personal time built up, they would be terminated. I just think those making a big deal in a negative manner about this law are the melting pot for trouble anyway.

Valentina, with your two piece on, where would you carry it?

That’s a good question Gallo; I doubt a two piece string bikini is going to hold anything. But the real feat would be carrying your ID while wearing a g-string bikini or a Brazilian micro bikini (which is the same as wearing nothing at all); because anyone can cut the string and your ID will surely fall out, along with your other goods.
I wouldn’t know, because I wear the string, not the g-string, I’m not that confident. I could probably tie the ID to the string on the side, but it’s probably going to scratch me. Naturally, it would be extremely inconvenient, unless I can use my ID in the water to negotiate with a baby shark before it bites me.

My guess is the shark would not care about “reasonable suspicion” or about how confident you are, but the analogy about negotiation (pleading) with the shark (law enforcement) before it bites (arrests) is good. Your mission, should you wish to accept it, is to attach the ID, birth certificate, naturalization papers, or passport to your “string” and send it so I can include it in the Immigration Reform board I have. OK, I’ll say it before the other mongers on this site say it…puro pedo, just wanted to check you out

WSB in Atlanta was here in Douglas recently doing a segment about the porous border. They mentioned the cartels are helping people with links to al-Qaeda cross into the U.S. … nothing new. But why would the cartels help them cross so they can kill Americans…the #1 consumers of the cartels products? Doesn’t make any sense.

That’s because they are lying. If any cartel members cought one of those fanitics down there disrupting their hustle, they would kill him, Don’t ever believe that bull crap!

The shoe is on the other foot and the Mexicans from the State of Sonora,
Mexico do not like it.
Can you believe the nerve of these people? It’s almost funny.
The State of Sonora is angry at the influx of Mexicans into Mexico . Nine
state legislators from the Mexican State of Sonora traveled to Tucson to
complain about Arizona ‘s new employer crackdown on illegals from Mexico .
It seems that many Mexican illegals are returning to their hometowns and
the officials in the Sonora state government are ticked off.
A delegation of nine state legislators from Sonora was in Tucson on
Tuesday to state that Arizona ‘s new Employer Sanctions Law will have a
devastating effect on the Mexican state.
At a news conference, the legislators said that Sonora, – Arizona’s
southern neighbor, – made up of mostly small towns, – cannot handle the
demand for housing, jobs and schools that it will face as Mexican workers
return to their hometowns from the USA without jobs or money.
The Arizona law, which took effect Jan. 1, punishes Arizona employers who
knowingly hire individuals without valid legal documents to work in the
United States .
Penalties include suspension of, or loss of, their business license.
The Mexican legislators are angry because their own citizens are returning
to their hometowns, placing a burden on THEIR state government. ‘How can
Arizona pass a law like this?’ asked Mexican Rep Leticia Amparano-Gamez,
who represents Nogales .
‘There is not one person living in Sonora who does not have a friend or
relative working in Arizona ,’ she said, speaking in Spanish. ‘Mexico is
not prepared for this, for the tremendous problems it will face as more
and more Mexicans working in Arizona and who were sending money to their
families return to their home-towns in Sonora without jobs,’ she said. ‘We
are one family, socially and economically,’ she said of the people of
Sonora and Arizona .
Wrong!
The United States is a sovereign nation, not a subsidiary of Mexico , and
its taxpayers are not responsible for the welfare of Mexico ‘s citizens.
It’s time for the Mexican government, and its citizens, to stop feeding
parasitically off the United States and to start taking care of its/their
own needs.
Too bad that other states within the USA don’t pass a law just like that
passed by Arizona .
Maybe that’s the answer, since our own Congress will do nothing!

burden will be deported.

“Driver’s licenses and social security cards don’t demonstrate anything about the holder’s legal presence”
You are mis-informed. Any document that requires a birth document to get is sufficient to prove your citizenship. Drivers license is fine, so is social security card (though you should NEVER carry it). But not a New Mexico driver license because they will give a license to any one, without any proof of citizenship. That’s New Mexicans’ problem if they want to give licenses to illegals. That’s foolish in my opinion.
Read the law, especially as amended, and especially where it specifically prohibits use of race as a criteria and where it specifies the documents needed.
It’s a dumb law, but the government won’t enforce immigration laws, even though the overwhelming majority want it, so it is going to fall to the states.

“What she did was break the law!!!!! Was she a criminal? Breaking an emoral (sic) law does not make you a criminal, it makes you an active member of the civil rights movement.”
So immigration laws are immoral? It’s the basic premise of a nation – control of who can and can’t enter the country. Otherwise there wouldn’t be passports. If that’s immoral, then we need a world war to destroy the entire community of nations because that’s how it’s always worked. Name me a single nation that allows un-controlled immigration. You can’t because there isn’t one.
Besides why does being born in Mexico give you the right to U.S. citizenship over billions in Africa, southeast Asia, or anywhere else who probably are as poor or more poor?
That argument doesn’t hold a teaspoon of water but I still hear it all the time. You’re cheapening the civil rights movement by making that argument.

We need strong unions to keep wages up and a national ID card to work above the table We need legal and temporary Latin American workers to work hard,send money home and at some point return and bring non-violent change to the non-democratic Mexican Oligarchy.(or just kill all the rich bastards and dump them in the sea)
Until then we also need the drugs to keep on flowing.They make up 1/3 of the Mexican economy.i personally never call the cops when i see people headed North by my ranch near fort Bowie unless they are assholes and do disrespectful things (leave taps on,throw rocks at my dogs,steal stuff,liter,kill my neighbors).
