Barack Obama has criticised a tough new immigration measure in the state of Arizona, saying it threatens to undermine American values and could violate civil rights.

The US president said the legislation in the state, the toughest enacted against illegal immigration anywhere in the US , was a &quot;misguided&quot; law and suggested it was &quot;irresponsible.&quot;.

Arizona has an estimated 460,000 illegal immigrants and is the nation's busiest border crossing point. Its remote desert expanses serve as the illegal gateway for thousands of Mexicans and Central Americans. </span></span>

Even John McCain was initially against the passage of these new laws but later changed his tune because he is looking to get re-elected. (Politrix)

Looks like the Tea Party people will have something to celebrate.

I am equally upset that the Federal government would allow such a thing to go on. If they enforced the FEDERAL LAWS THAT ARE ALREADY ON THE BOOKS on <span style="font-weight: bold">ILLEGAL</span> immigration this would not be an issue.....The key word is <span style="font-weight: bold">ILLEGAL</span>.
These people are here <span style="font-weight: bold">ILLEGALLY</span> and are breaking the law and the Feds are turning a blind eye to the situation in Arizona. There are big problems in Arizona because of these <span style="font-weight: bold">ILLEGALS </span>......It's funny how that word <span style="font-weight: bold">ILLEGAL</span> keeps popping up....don't you think?

Good for Arizona. They have a right to enforce the law and control their state as they see fit.

from the article source
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Other provisions allow for lawsuits against government agencies that do not enforce immigration laws, and make it illegal to hire illegal immigrants for day labour or knowingly transport them.
</div></div>

Churches in general provide food &amp; clothing regardless of immigration status. This would mean churches are subject to lawsuits.

Ha Ha! I don't think they were thinking about that when they passed the law. I wonder how many of those lawmakers hired the services of illegals to preform the services you mention above?

Just wait 'til they (the members of the state legislator) begin to get busted for the very thing they decided is now a crime.

Here is a novel approach. Hire a citizen of the USA.
OH MY GOD!...NOT THAT!

Hmmmm...I see that you all are dancing around and ignoring the word <span style="font-weight: bold">ILLEGAL</span>.
Remember the truth will set you free.

LonrWolf I am not dancing around the illegal issue. I do know the legal immigrant or US citizen (regardless of place of origin) may take the work but at a higher price. How many are willing to pay the higher price

Yeah, the man has no integrity, not even among his fellow Repugnats. He was proud to be a &quot;maverick&quot; when it suited him, now that he is fighting to save his &quot;political skin&quot;, he no longer wants to be called such. What ever happened to term limits? and talking about political expediency?, look no further. ~ This new law may be &quot;unconstitutional&quot; say some experts, the governor has not even been duly ELECTED...

You think America should allow bean squeezers to trot freely into America?

what America needs to do is build a BIG tall electric fence from texas to California and patrol it. anyone who step onto it get vapourized

Re: Arizona and it's new racist immigration &quot;laws&quot;

I bet the native people of Arizona look at everyone else living there (including Americans)as being &quot;illegal&quot;.

One mans meaning of &quot;legal&quot; don't mean squat when they have stolen your land.
