So Long Arizona....

[Lily]

This is cruel but very funny! ;D Seriously, I believe Arizona is doing the right thing. Why should they allow illegal immigrants, who are placing a huge burden on taxpayers to remain? It's also unfair to those who go through the legal immigration process, to have the illegals jump the queue like that.

Forget jumping the "Que" they jump the fence, run through the desert, swim the Grande, allow themselves to be loaded like dishware into crates stacked onto semi trucks... In FL they float over perched atop empty soda bottles trapped in a net, on bike inner-tubes filled with air, some have even gone so far as to literally be dragged behind speeding boats!
I seen one there some blokes managed to get an old rusted out Caddy to float! I mean really now...
It's horrible.
The would be new "residents" circumvent not only the immigration system but also the social services systems here.
I can almost forgive the Cubans... they can't apply to come here, but the Mexicans and the Nigerians etc, nope sorry don't care.
I'm sorry but I spent two years and close to 12 thousand dollars helping my husband get his work visa/green card, during this time he was not able to work because his original visa was for going to school.

So all these fence hoppers, runners, walkers, swimmers, and floaters can kiss my southern grits! GO HOME NOW!!!!
Feel free to apply after your return like everyone else. TYVM.

"High Court upholds key part of Arizona immigration law

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Supreme Court upheld a key part of Arizona's crackdown on illegal immigrants on Monday, rejecting the Obama administration's stance that only the U.S. government should enforce immigration laws in the United States.

The nation's highest court, in an opinion by Justice Anthony Kennedy, unanimously upheld the state law's most controversial aspect, requiring police officers to check the immigration status of people they stop.

But in a split decision, the justices also ruled that the three other challenged provisions went too far in intruding on federal law, including one that makes it a crime for illegal immigrants to work and another that requires them to carry their documents.

"Arizona may have understandable frustrations with the problems caused by illegal immigration ... but the state may not pursue policies that undermine federal law," Justice Kennedy wrote in a 25-page opinion."
