Nearly Half of United States Considering Arizona-Style Immigration Legislation

Thursday, August 19, 2010

(CNSNews.com) – Twenty-two states are now in the process of drafting or seeking to pass legislation similar to Arizona’s law against illegal immigration. This is occurring despite the fact that the Obama administration has filed a lawsuit against the Arizona law and a federal judge has ruled against portions of that law – a ruling that is now being appealed.

Next month, two Rhode Island state lawmakers, a Democrat and a Republican, will travel to Arizona to speak with Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, local sheriffs, and other officials about how to better craft their own bipartisan immigration bill for Rhode Island, which already has been enforcing some federal immigration laws.

Meanwhile, 11 Republican state lawmakers from Colorado traveled to Arizona this week to meet with officials there on how to craft legislation for the Mile High state.

In addition, Alabama House Republicans announced this week that they would seek to “push an illegal immigration bill similar to the recently approved Arizona law.” This law would “create a new criminal trespass statute that allows local law enforcement to arrest illegal immigrants for simply setting foot in Alabama,” said Alabama’s House Minority Leader Mike Hubbard.

In Florida, proposed legislation against illegal immigration has been retooled to address some concerns raised by a federal judge who blocked the proposed bill, though it would still allow Florida state police to enforce immigration law.

In all, there are 22 states considering copycat legislation from the Arizona law against illegal immigration, according to the Americans for Legal Immigration Political Action Committee (ALIPAC), a group that advocates for stricter immigration enforcement.

What a joke. What these politicians know that the average citizen doesn't is this: sure, all these states can have their LEOs go on a spree and arrest undocumented immigrants, but then what? Being in this country without papers is a civil violation of a federal law. The penalty is deportation. Guess what? The feds are basically only deporting criminals, all the rest get put into the system.

So here's what happens, these cities and counties jail these people at their expense, wait for ICE to come get them, ICE processes them and the releases them to wait for thier deportation hearings. The immigrants are back into the community. What a complete waste of community resources.

But hey, the politician gets reelected. Yay!
