Guess which side he’s on… hmm, let me take a stab. How about on the side of enforcing US immigration laws, protecting US citizens and taxpayers from illegal immigration. Hell, even Mexico defends and enforces it’s own immigration laws. A gringo in Mexico wouldn’t stand a chance if he pulled the same crap as these illegals in AZ.

It’s always good to hear the calm, reasoned arguments of Mr. Dobbs. We see him far too little.

He is the lone voice that criticized Bush, Chaney, for their impenitent enforcement on securing our boarders. way back when 9-11 happened. Lou Dobbs reported this. Who listened? No one…

There is only one side to be on, Arizona. The law is NOT racist. The law will be upheld. The only thing the left has is LIES.

Remember, Blower, that a law may be unConstitutional as written, or as applied, or as both. I think this law is most likely unConstitutional as written and as applied and will be struck down. However, we may never reach that point. Arizona (along with California and Nevada) is in terrible economic straits right now and is increasingly dependent on tourism. Phoenix alone has lost four (4) major conventions because of the law. My own City has voted not to allow City employees to travel to Arizona on City business and for conventions and seminars (in part due to fears that the police will detain and rough up some Hispanic employees), and my company and I have canceled our plans to attend a September trade show. There are consequences already being felt.

And those terrible economic straits have nothing to do with taxpayers having to foot the bill for illegals going to hospitals, or attending schools, or any criminal activities committed and subsequent bills for incarceration. Instead of trying to understand Arizona’s predicament from the feds ignoring the problem, let’s just boycott Arizona. That’ll help everyone, right?

TRRK…let’s see, the referendums to oppose it were dropped, an overwhelming majority of Arizonans support the law, as is the case NATIONALLY now too, and 13 states are drafting similar legislation.

Trust me, Arizona will get over your company boycotting the trade show, if that was even true.

Well, Righter, as Lillian Hellman wrote, “We do today, what we can do today.” An economic boycott, particularly in such times, has immediate and obvious consequences.

The economic difficulties of California, Arizona and Nevada have little to do with illegal immigration, but much to do with unfettered land speculation and the resulting decline in land values. Under your analysis, Texas would be faring as badly as these states, and it is not. Of the three (3) states, Texas has long had far more porous borders and a far more enlightened approach to migration.

Odd then that the city leaders in Phoenix should be so concerned, Tim Z. Ank, but I guess that doesn’t advance your argument.

But King, if you boycott Arizona, aren’t you also economically hurting all those poor illegals you care so much about? And tell us, what exactly is your enlightened approach to people illegally entering the country? What should we do? Build a fence? Use the National Guard? Hire more border patrol? Do absolutely nothing? Please share.

It is strange to see just how misguided people can become. You folks who have chosen to over react to Arizona doing what has to be done are the big losers here. Boycotting Arizona is your loss and we will get over your stupidity.. The real question becomes, Where will you go for your vacations and conventions after every other state sees the light and passes laws just as Arizona has done. You know, that law that is worded just as the Fed Law is worded, and with provisions to allow Arizona Authorities to do what Federal people refuse to do. There is a right way and a wrong way to do things, obviously there is little pondering to understand breaking a law should be under the Wrong Side of the Ledger.

So Mr King, would you be so kind as to tell me what state you are in and what company you work for/own, what ever. I just need to be sure what and where to boycott. No I know it wont hurt you, BUT I do need to be doing something symbolic you know.

Sure. I live in Comeuppins, Alabama, and I work at the Percy Otto Helioarc Welding Company and Bait Shop.

One of the things I like most about living in this country is the diversity of our states. I think it offers us a lot of resilience, when making these choices on handling life’s issues.

For Arizone, I say ‘Take a swing’. Let them go full-out on securing their borders and deporting illegal residents. We can sit back and watch and see how it plays out. It could go well and it could go poorly. But by and large, it should only effect them. We can learn from their correct and incorrect decisions. And this gives us a blueprint, of sorts, on how to handle our own immigration issues.

Diversity is a good thing. If we all read the same thing and eat the same thing and do the same thing, we may prosper. But if we fail, we all fail.

Go do your thing, AZ.

Ed, never expect the King to deal in facts or give straight answers when called to account for his extreme left wing bias.

King claims he lives in Texas when he isn’t claiming he lives in the UK. He hides behind a phony name because people would boycott him and his company for his views. Libs can only hand it out, they can not take it.

Too many people seem convinced that liberals all believe in certain things. Well, I’m here to tell you that they don’t! Even though a good portion of my family are immigrants (not me though) I think it needs to be stopped. I think all immigration, legal, illegal, ‘special’ greencard types that Bill Gates uses to bring over to take high tech jobs away from Americans; ALL immigration should stop till ALL Americans that can be employed are employed. We should put in place programs or whatever is needed to educate or train Americans to fill the jobs. Just in case anyone thinks there’s any racism involved here; my husband’s Chinese. I have a nephew who is Japanese and I have relatives who are black and relatives who are Mexican. I myself am white and part Native American. I believe in America for Americans first. I want to add here that the corporations want to keep this countrys’ populations numbers high so that the worker will never be able to be paid a decent wage.
