While Arizona is at the cusp of passing one of the country’s strongest anti-immigration bills the state’s federal senators have introduced their own tough proposal on immigration.Sens. Jon Kyl and John McCain proposed deploying 3000 National Guard soldiers along the U.S.-Mexico border. "The situation has spiraled out of control," McCain said at a press conference today as he claimed that illegal immigrants crossing the border has supposedly led to a spike in crime in Arizona.
The proposal made part of a ten-point immigration plan that focused primarily on security and included suggestions such as erecting “double- and triple- layer fencing” along the border and increasing funds for the Border Patrol.
McCain has long been a proponent of comprehensive immigration reform and had championed a failed 2006 reform proposal that was supported by the late Sen. Ted Kennedy. Yet McCain has faced strong conservative opposition in his bid for reelection that has been critical of his immigration stance. "It is unconscionable that nearly a decade after 9/11 the backdoor of the United States remains open," declared McCain’s main opponent- former Congressman J.D. Hayworth- at a recent Arizona Tea Party rally.
The push for stronger legislation against immigrants in Arizona could lead to one of the staunchest opponents of immigration to run for governor:
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has been raising fistfuls of money for months now, but the question is: for what?(Hat tip on the final link: Gawker).
If Arpaio knows what office he will run for next, he isn't saying yet. But he promises to let voters know by May 1 whether he will hang onto his sheriff's badge or toss his hat into the ring for governor.
Arpaio has raised $2 million to date, money he cannot touch until he starts campaigning for sheriff or shifts gears to run for governor. He has been soliciting contributions for nearly a year, and the response has been striking even for someone with his name recognition.

A few ridiculous uncultured rednecks in Arizona's Legislature want to install a despicable Racial Profiling System in that state :
ReplyDeleteRacists have been losing lately and will continue losing :
Arizona's Bill of Racial Profiling :
This system is a "Remembrance of Thing Past" called Segregation and Apartheid.
I trust that the United States of America is an Intelligent and Modern Nation. An Intelligent Governor and a Sound Court of Justice may sink this Idiotic Bill.
I do not think that the despicable Rednecks are going to triumph. Others will laugh at the end.
In case that I am wrong then the implications are very grave and sad.
Because If I am wrong then a Nation that has been treading the path of decline and decay, will only accelerate those downward forces.
And this will be only another chapter in the book of :
DeWesternization and DeWhitenization of the World
And I do not need to say any more.
