ARIZONA UPDATE

[G-Man]

It's not that the dems think the "new" citizens will vote for them, they are worried about losing the present latino vote, which can affect the Black vote and other minority group votes.

So, using the same train of thought, the Republicans are pushing for this law for fear of losing the White vote?

The AZ law just pushes for enforcement of existing laws.  Imagine, actually enforcing a law.....what a concept.

Interesting concept…  A law to enforce existing laws.  What enforces that law?  Another law?!     That is a good example of circular reasoning.

No, Bobbo, the republicans didn't enforce the law either for fear of the same.  Every administration since Reagan has promised to take care of this, yet none actually went through with it.  This is why AZ felt the need to create a law to enforce the law.  Stupid, yes, I whole heartedly agree, but had any administration in the past 30 years done their job, and what they promised to do, AZ would not have been put into the position it is in now.

Bobbo is just like my three year old grandson. 

Every answer you give him, he responds with "why"

There is NO answer that will satisfy him.  He will just keep asking "why"

And, when I asked him what his proposal to solve the problem is, he ignores it.

He is a TROLL.

This is a classic example of the Federal Government ignoring its responsibilities.

The states are ready to do what the Federal Gov't refuses to do.

My biggest question is: why was this guy allowed back on the street in the first place?

If you boys would have come over to North St. Louis (murder capitol of the US competing with Detroit) or near South side, and hung out at the many places I talk to the local police, you would’ve gotten an earful.  I have three cop brothers-in-law, and they were the ones that first mentioned it to me over twenty years ago.  Of course, most won’t say anything in polite conversation, but the ones I know have no problem expressing their opinion.

My comment wasn’t a slam against police officers, as many have suggested.  It is an observation I’ve made through my many conversations.  The Sheriff in the posted link was complaining that his job is harder due to the law not allowing him to indiscriminately arrest people.

You left off the last part of the last sentence.......The sheriff in the posted link was complaining that his job is harder due to the law not allowing him to indexcriminately arrest people.....WHO ARE BREAKING THE LAW!

Not true.  The proposed law allows an officer to arrest someone merely on a suspicion of breaking a law, without any evidence of a law being broken. 
Police have always had the power to arrest someone based on some sort of evidence:  Matching a specific description, seeing drug paraphernalia or drugs, smelling alcohol on your breath, etc.
