Rasmussen Reports has found similar results in state polls it has done where it began asking voters whether they wanted an Arizona-like law. So far, those results include Georgia (55 percent in favor), Kentucky (63 percent), New Mexico (55 percent), Oregon (53 percent), South Dakota (62 percent), Washington state (52 percent) and Wisconsin (57 percent). Once this Arizona law is in effect, I would really like to see how many employers are being arrested and fined for hiring undocumented workers. It won't happen because this is a hot political issue only used to stir up hatred, fear, anger, etc during another election year. Think about it. Employers like cheap labor where they don't have to pay all of those taxes like payroll, SS, or benefits like a vacation or sick days. All this nonsense about not knowing they were undocumented until after getting caught is just plain bull hockey. Right now, the employer has nothing to fear if the worker gets deported.

Creates jobs for our own welfare receiptants who are capable of working. cut off welfare and the un-employment goes down. For terriorests; Automatic firing sqaud and buried at a pig slaughter house dump site. Check and see how Balckjack Perishing did in the Philipines to put down muslim terriorest acts.

If the American people had wanted to absorb the population of Mexico we would have done it after we marched into Mexico City, in 1847.
If American sneaks into my home uninvited he would be shot (should they survive), hospitalized, arrested and do jail time. If an illegal sneaks into America uninvited they are provided foodstamps, medical coverage , an education, and lobbyists to give them rights not afforded them in their on country.
I think its time we marched into Washington and rode both parties out on a rail.
@ Keith, if undocumented workers in your state are getting welfare, that is your state's problem. Especially if your state traditionally votes GOP and is run by GOP.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Wake up Obama before a civil war erupts
I don't think this is a left or right wing thing. This is an American thing. It's plain and simple to understand. Illegal immigration= breaking the law. That is the issue. More power to Arizona for enforcing our laws!!!!!!!!!!

June 25 2010 at 10:25 AM Report abuse Permalink -1 rate up rate down ReplyAt last count, an estimated 100,000 illegal immigrants have already left Arizona since the passage of this law. This law alone solves our border problem, absent a border fence. Take away public assistance, promise deportation, promise jail time & fines to employers, and problem solved. Liberal politicians who are proponents of providing tax dollars to sustain our illegal immigrant population should be indicted for misappropriation of tax revenue or at least recalled for their failure to carry out their fidiciary responsibilities. It should be a crime punishable by prison time. Our nation's economy and the individual citizen's pocketbook can no longer sustain this forced philanthropy.

Don't forget that the Greatest President ever, Ron Reagan gave amnesty to over 4 million undocumented workers in the 80's..I don't see any one really discussing that issue though.

WE NEED TO ENFORCE OUR LAWS AND THROW OUT ALL POLITICIANS THAT WANT OPEN BORDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE CAN'T AFFORD TO TAKE CARE OF MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS, LET ALONE THE TERRORISTS THAT HAVE CROSSED OVER THE BORDERS...........
June 18 2010 at 4:33 PM Report abuse Permalink +7 rate up rate down ReplyMost citizens are clearly in favor of enforcing the laws at all levels. It is a cornerstone of good citizenship to support law enforcement. Those opposing the Arizona law are also opposing the federal immigration laws as well. How should these federal laws be enforced? The President and members of his cabinet should not undermind existing federal laws on this or other matters. If they oppose the existing laws, introduce legislation to change them. Otherwise, enforce the laws as written.
