Arizona's Request For Documentation

The new law in Arizona which so many are afraid will lead to a police state, simply gives the police the freedom to ask for legal status when a person is stopped for investigation for another crime or violation.  This has people outraged, but why?

Their fear that legal immigrants will be harrassed or thrown in jail for the failure to show their documentation is unfounded.  At least if the legal immigrants are following the requirements of their residency.  This is because it is a requirement of all those immigrants granted legal residence to carry their residency card with them AT ALL TIMES.  They must do so until they are granted citizenship.  Therefore, if they are fulfilling that requirement and are asked for proof of their legal residence, they'll have it to show and then be on their merry way.

I don't understand how identifying and deporting those people who should not be here is a bad thing.  I really don't.  I have to prove I have a lisence to drive if a traffic cop stops me, so how is this any different?

  1. If you listen to Rush Limbaugh lately, he can connect the dots for you, Spinster.

    Essentially, Rush explains that the lefties are deliberately mischaracterizing the law because if it stands, then requiring people to provide ID will lead to the end of Democrat pluralities. They currently cannot win the battle of ideas, so they have to maintain their power by skullduggery at the ballot box. Voter fraud is the only reason Democrats are still in power, not the power of their ideas (obviously).

    If time ever comes that one has to prove citizenship to vote, they can never get more than 30% of the vote, and they can't have that.

    This AZ law is the beginning of the end for Democrat power, and they know it.

  5. “The Spinster’s Will” An elderly spinster called the lawyer’s office and told the receptionist she wanted to see the lawyer about having a will prepared. The receptionist suggested they set up an appointment for a convenient time for the spinster to come into the office. The woman replied, “You must understand, I’ve lived alone all my life, I rarely see anyone, and I don’t like to go out. Would it be possible for the lawyer to come to my house?” The receptionist checked with the attorney who agreed and he went to the spinster’s home for the meeting to discuss her estate and the will. The lawyer’s first question was, “Would you please tell me what you have in assets and how you’d like them to be distributed under your will?” She replied, “Besides the furniture and accessories you see here, I have $40,000 in my savings account at the bank.” “Tell me,” the lawyer asked, “how would you like the $40,000 to be distributed?” The spinster said, “Well, as I’ve told you, I’ve lived a reclusive life, people have hardly ever noticed me, so I’d like them to notice when I pass on. I’d like to provide $35,000 for my funeral.” The lawyer remarked, “Well, for $35,000 you will be able to have a funeral that will certainly be noticed and will leave a lasting impression on anyone who may not have taken much note of you! But tell me,” he continued, “what would you like to do with the remaining $5,000?” The spinster replied, “As you know, I’ve never married, I’ve lived alone almost my entire life, and, in fact, I’ve never slept with a man. Before I die, I’d like you to use the $5,000 to arrange for a man to sleep with me.” “This is a very unusual request,” the lawyer said, adding, “but I’ll see what I can do to arrange it and get back to you.” That evening, the lawyer was at home telling his wife about the eccentric spinster and her weird request. After thinking about how much she could do around the house with $5,000, and with a bit of coaxing, she got her husband to agree to provide the service himself. She said, “I’ll drive you over tomorrow morning, and wait in the car until you’re finished.” The next morning, she drove him to the spinster’s house and waited while he went into the house. She waited for over an hour, but her husband didn’t come out. So she blew the car horn. Shortly, the upstairs bedroom window opened, the lawyer stuck his head out and yelled, “Pick me up tomorrow! She’s going to let the County bury her!”

  7. I am not opposed to legal immigration, but state police should have every tool available to allow them to safely and legally enforce the safety and well being of the public.

  8. I am not in favor of closing our borders. That being said, I do believe that the immigrants that come into our country need to apply for citizenship. Illegal Immigrant status cannot be tolerated.
