Don't really care if you oppose this bill, if you are here looking for someone who is opposed to it, you came to the wrong place.
The Federal government has neglected our borders far too long. I don't care, either, if the bill is held up eternally in the court system. It is going to do what I figure they designed it to do: force the hand.
I want a secure border, the feds are charged with the responsibility, they have defaulted on it, the Governor of the State of Arizona has asked FIVE times now of Obama to send the National Guard - I DEFINITELY agree with her signing that bill into law.
Obama can no longer ignore this issue, it has raised nationwide fury on both sides of the issue, EXACTLY what this particular issue needed to get Congress to start talking about this issue and DO something about it. When we talk of budget cuts, the LAST thing that should EVER go is the security and safety of our nation's borders.
Million dollar toilet seats in national parks can go by the wayside. Earmarks and all the BS can go right down the tube as far as I'm concerned.
Yes, the State of Arizona has now FORCED the issue with the feds, they have NO CHOICE but to "find" some money and get that fence built, reinstate all the INS agents they let go and whatever else I don't know about that they have done, via budget cuts, to compromise the security of our border. And yes, send the National Freaking Guard, PLEASE. This alone should be enough to turn a LOT of people against the current administration.
Oh, well you don't live in AZ. That's right. You don't have tens or hundreds of thousands of them sucking your local economy dry. It doesn't affect you, therefore, who cares, right?
Will there be abuses? Is the use of stun guns abused by a rogue element of police? Are there police that beat the crap out of innocent people? Have you ever read about a police officer shooting a person down that was unarmed? The question answers itself. It will happen and the media will pounce all over it and attempt to make it the rallying point to get rid of the law. No matter. Just the fact of signing it into law creates a powerful force of energy blasted against the current administration and our reps and senators to get their asses in gear, get to discussing it, get to writing up a bill.
I'm all for it.

I think it's a joke that passengers flying into the States go through such strict security, yet the borders seem to be so wide open. Good for Arizona!! I couldn't agree with you more!
Yes, Doanli, good for AZ!
Dorrie - EXACTLY. The borders ARE wide open! It's unbelievable.
Hope Texas follows soon.
I would assume Texas has the longest border with either of our neighbors. However, to come across the border in much of that border would mean probable death to the illegals because there are hundreds of miles where there is literally NOTHING out there - I know, I have driven that 2 lane highway along the border many, many times in a semi. I think AZ has the worst problem, but Juarez borders El Paso and it is the largest border town in Mexico. I hope they ALL follow suit - but the impetus is already set: feds can no longer ignore this problem now that AZ has set a precedent, whether it passes constitutional muster or not.
