The Solution to Arizona's Immigration Law

This is a viable solution that no one has thought of, so I urge you to read this.

Today, the new immigration law in Arizona, SB 1070, went into effect.  However, the full force of the law has been blocked by Judge Susan Bolton.  Judge Bolton filed an injunction against a section of the bill that stated that, if someone was stopped while committing a crime, and they were unable to provide identification nor speak fluent English, they could be questioned about their immigration status.

Detractors of the bill are crying profiling, stating that police will be able to practically stop anyone they want.  For example, Hillary Clinton stated "I don't think there's any doubt" the immigration law would lead to profiling.  Those in favor of the bill cite the fact that only those who've committed a crime will be subjugated to the new law and only after several factors have been met.

The debate continues, and seems to be elevating with this injunction.  I fully believe that if a solution is not found, this case will reach its crescendo and peak with the Supreme Court.  But I believe that I have a solution that will eliminate the possibility of profiling and satisfy proponents of Arizona's new law:

Check the immigration status of everyone.

Every single person who commits a crime in Arizona should have their immigration status checked.  There would be no profiling because everyone would have to participate, thus satisfying critics.  Any illegal immigrants would be found, including ones that may have been missed, thus satisfying proponents.  This possible solution seems so simple, I am shocked that no one has mentioned it before.

But there you have it.  Is this the solution to the problem in Arizona?  Maybe, maybe not, but I believe this is an option that must be looked at.

“House Bill 2013” and “SB1070”

0 = Arizona
2 = USA/ Our Constitution/ We the People of the United States

This month of July 2010, our U.S. Federal courts have found the so called State of Arizona hate filled legislation namely “House Bill 2013” and “SB1070” Un-constitution (So much for the intellect of Jan Brewer, “Did you read the bills you signed?”). But we all know that they will go crying to the Supreme Court of the United States, please, please, please go. We will fight you in Arizona, any other state, and yes in Washington DC. We will not tire, we will not be silent and we will persevere, I promise you.


It’s all about politics: Jan Brewer you were never elected to be Governor, but you have no problem trying to get elected on the back of undocumented workers, you loser (sure you may win but the long-term effects to your so called State is just beginning). Here is a partial list of your hate filled legislation;

1. S.B. 1070,
2. House Bill 2013
3. No permit conceal weapons law,
4. The famous Birthers law,
5. Banning Ethnic studies law,
6. Banning human-animal hybrid (aren’t most GOPers crossed with the Reptilian race?)
or are they just giving Laurence Gonzales, some great promotion material for his new book “Lucy”.

7. Could she be behind the Mural in Prescott, Arizona, ordered to be whiten,
8. On deck to pass, no citizenship to babies born to undocumented workers,

9. If she can read she should look up Arizona’s House Bill 2779 from two years ago (which was un-constitution and failed when legally challenged),
10. The boycotted Martin Luther King Day, what idiots don’t want another holiday? Yes, you guessed it Arizona.

Well Arizona, you can keep boycotting new holidays, passing hate filled legislation and the rest of our country will continue to challenge you in court of law and Boycott your so-called state.

Lets face it, no one can real believe anything that comes out of Brewer’s mouth, in an interview, this year, in an attempt to gain sympathy, she first said her father had died in Germany fighting the Nazi in World War II (which ended 1945) but of course we find out the truth that father was never in Germany and died in California in 1955. But we are suppose to believe everything else she says, right!

As they say in the World Cup: Gooooooooal!

By crime do you mean speeding? Is that a "crime"? You make it sound like the law is intended to be used only against armed robbers, pimps and drug dealers. That's not the case as I understand it.

Excellent article. It's conceivable and would take care of the problem.

Montana: Your list is so long and so inflammatory, I'm not sure where to start. But there is not doubt where you stand on the issues. Mexican Presidents say "There is no Northern border. Where there is a Mexican, there is Mexico." That's called an invasion. By allowing their citizens to come here and work, and send cash to Mexico, we have helped prop up a corrupt government.

About the Martin Luther King holiday. My former school district, previous to the holiday, always had school events celebrating his birthday, life, work and dreams: Assemblies and speakers. But, once the holiday was instituted, that stopped. Unintended consequence: non-Blacks didn't get the benefit of learning more about him. We didn't have a day off and have an assembly. I think this was a net loss for that community. And we probably do have more Federal holidays than we really need. There are others we could eliminate. But those Federal employee unions really appreciate the 3-day weekends.

Let's just adopt Mexico's laws for illegal immigrants. That would solve some problems. Except we would then be guilty of even more human rights abuses.

By allowing illegal immigrants to enter the country and work, we have created an "attractive nuisance." Thus, when illegal immigrants die in transit, or are exploited and abused, it is because we made it an attractive proposition. To protect them, we should discourage their coming here.

Milly: Just so you know we are ruled by the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence, and not by majority rule, but I guess you are against all of it, too bad, you lose.

The Brewer, looks like a fool, but I will see both of you in the Supreme Court of the United States, the battle continues.

Hey, great job in electing Republican Scott Brown, he real helped in a pinch!

I do not share your point of view but I will tell you victory is sweet.

The Arizona law specified that suspects be held until immigration status was determined. This is not too practical if everyone who comes to the attention of law enforcement is going to be checked. Indefinite detention after apprehension for jaywalking? Just how long does it take to determine immigration status? If it requires the cooperation of the Feds, I can see it taking a loooooonng time.

AZ should do like the leftists:

As portions of bills are struck down, keep passing Bills with slightly different language.

Keep the leftists burning resources fighting AZ in court.

Keep fighting until AZ prevails.

I want AZ Governor Jan Brewer to show papers to prove she’s a human being. I think it was FOX that did a show on extraterrestrials that live among us, and Governor Brewer does resemble some alien from a B Movie, “Invasion of the Brain Snatchers”, right? I’ve have my suspicions about people like Jan Brewer, Mitch McConnell and Karl Rove because of their lack of human qualities.

As far as the immigration issue goes… Republicans never made a big deal about immigration enforcement during Bush/Cheney but NOW all conservative hell is breaking loose… even though the Obama Administration is deporting MORE illegal’s than Bush ever did. Maybe we should adopt Ronald Wilson Reagan’s immigration policy (look it up morons)

And funny how I didn’t hear NOT ONE WORD on the Cable News about AZ Gov. Jan Brewer’s connection with the Corrections Corp of America. Not to mention I could stop this immigration problem with one thing… ARREST ALL THOSE conservative business people WHO ARE HIRING THE ILLEGAL WORKERS! Republican Party = Hypocrisy

On 7-28-10 I was watching Republicans on Morning Joe (MSNBC) preach about being ADULTS when it comes to our economic meltdown. I say BS! The real ADULTS are trying to demand accountability from those who got us in this financial mess. Republicans want to shift the burden of responsibility on Teachers unions and others in the American working class.

I wonder if the spoiled Silver Spoons on Morning Joe knew how much they hurt Democrats, Progressives, Liberals when they didn’t challenge NJ Gov. Christie. NOW all over the internet the Conservative wacko groupies are swooning all over Christie like he was a rock star. Of course, because of these Republican low grade thought processes, the right wing monkeys now consider teachers, poor people and immigrants the biggest threat to our economy.

What kind of Americans are stupid enough to believe decent wages/working conditions, regulation, Wall St. reform and making the rich pay their fair share are BAD THINGS! Republicans will take tax dollars away from grade schools to give BP tax breaks/subsidies. DON’T BELIEVE ME, you rightwing numbskulls, CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELVES!

I like your idea. In NYC therer are minority neighborhoods where crime was out of control, so the police not stop and frisk everyone, for such crimes as a "furtive look" or "casing a joint" The police stop someone, frisk them and question them. Often their are small drug violations. Crime is down by 80% See the article in the New York Times.
