Well, there goes Cheech and Chong's annual supply.
Protests in downtown Phoenix yesterday by SB1070 opponents, despite the judge's ruling largely in their favor. About 500 folks were bussed in from California to protest. And they won't win a lot of friends by blocking downtown traffic with civil disobedience, including blocking the light rail system.

If any were arrested, could you then check to see if they were in this country legally??Protests in downtown Phoenix yesterday by SB1070 opponents, despite the judge's ruling largely in their favor.

If there were illegals on the California bus, could AZ then impound the bus for illegally transporting aliens across state lines?
Morons. They won, and still protested afterwards?
As surely as night follows day, you can bet that any scheme which allows illegals permission to work here will be followed by suggestions that they be allowed to vote. Lefties have been working hard trolling for votes among felons and doing the same with illegals would be automatic. There have already been suggestions that illegals should get to vote in municipal elections "after all, they'd only be voting for mayors and city council, not members of congress." Mark my words on this one.
One word for you: California.People can suggest to their hearts content, but I truly hope and believe that this will never come to fruition.
Well, there are those who would prefer to just stay here on work visas. You know what? That's fine. I don't care if someone wants to live here and not be a citizen. But they should do it legally: they should get a work visa. Why should we just be okay for them to ****ing come here, under the radar, and just EXPECT that we'll be able to use our government resources on whatever they want and be ever so happy to do it?
Bunch of parasites. If they want to rape our country like this, the least they can do is have the common courtesy to give us a reach around.
Obama is now looking at going around Congress to unilaterally ease the burden on illegals, so to speak. Why am I not surprised. Ideas include stopping deportations of illegals. Maybe this was what the ICE head was hinting at when he said they might not cooperate with Arizona officials who would want to turn over illegals to them. Just further evidence that Obama favors the illegals over enforcing laws and protecting American citizens.

If only the Democratic party had a spine, they would set up primaries for the Democratic ticket in '12. This is getting insane.

I never thought "PCU" could be classified as a documentary.Morons. They won, and still protested afterwards?
A matter of precedence? You must not have followed federal spending practices since, oh, at least JFK's years? So Robert Byrd's 50+ years of WV pork barrel and all the other pork barrel that has gone out for decades and decades isn't precedent, and that isn't even for meaningful federal responsibilities the way controlling your border is. The irony is, on most pork-barrel assessments, the AZ delegation is at or near the best ranking for not taking pork barrel. I guess they just should have sidled up to the trough over the years the way Byrd and company have, and we could have our own wall and all. I'm sorry, but that's a woeful argument, no other way of cutting it.
Ok. I really tried to hold off on this, but again I'm going to call you out on this specious argument. To claim that a little more money for AZ border control (as has already been given to California, NM, and Texas for many years by the way) matters on the federal budget level is simply ridiculous.
Additional border funding plan cut by U.S. Senate
BORDER ISSUES
After winning approval for $700 million to help improve the long waits at border ports of entry last month from the U.S. House of Representatives, the Senate has slashed it.
Under the House-approved plan, $208.4 million would have been spent on 1,200 additional Border Patrol agents and $136 million for 500 additional U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers.

U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva, D-Ariz., was instrumental in getting the funding added to the House version. Both of Arizona’s senators, John McCain and Jon Kyl, voted to cut the funding.
A blow to socialism.
