State Sen. Russell Pearce capped this year’s bill frenzy by dropping his long-awaited illegal immigration bill yesterday. SB 1611 is pretty much what you’d expect: Throwing illegal immigrants who drive cars in jail. Seizing their vehicles for auction, with proceeds swallowed by the state. Proof of legal residency to register for elementary schools. Eviction from public housing. Shut-down of businesses that don’t use E-Verify. No community college or public benefits. No federal regs recognized.
Random Musings rounds it up here. The Arizona Capitol Times has deets here. Howie’s story here.
It gets heard in today’s Senate Appropriations Committee hearing. The agenda includes the birthright citizenship bills, a bill requiring hospitals to check immigration status before treating patients, a striker calling for drug testing of welfare recipients and the complete elimination of Arizona’s participation in the federal Medicaid program. Yes, the complete elimination of federal funding for health care for the destitute. Here’s one unintended consequence we can see from that one: The complete collapse of Arizona health-care system. That’ll show the feds!
Rhonda talks to Hispanic activists who are making more noise about a boycott. She gets great quote from Sen. Ron Gould:
Republican Sen. Ron Gould of the Lake Havasu area said he wasn’t too concerned about the threat. “I suspect it will work about as well as the last boycott,” he said, adding, “With any luck, we can get Raul Grijalva to endorse it again and then we can go after him next election.”

STATES SELF-INFLICTED WOUNDS.
Those States that are still catering to the illegal alien invasion will not get any sympathy from the majority of Americans. By now all States have seen the developing costs associated with people stealing across our national border and entering into this country under the pretext of being a tourist or student. Every year from every corner of the world, thousands come to the US, to have their children fully aware that this child will have dual citizenship and can take financial advantage of the 14th Amendment provisions. Many States– like the illegal alien popular State of California and now Nevada is bearing towards disaster with their unregulated use of tax dollars to pay for the education for their offspring, and the need for the uninsured–medical care. Arizona was so close the border fence that it accumulated hundreds of thousands of uninvited guests, lowering job opportunities for less educated citizens and yet hardly aiding the tax base.
Documentation from the GAO (General Accounting Office) has disclosed finally, that for every one dollar spent by illegal nationals; they get a return of between three and four dollars. But this problem is beyond credibility as the taxpayer’s bill, keeps on mounting rapidly. All politicians had better care that’s happening here, because American people have finally begun to wake and learning why their taxes keep rising. As the Federal management has failed to pay attention, so the States are trying to defend their own inhabitants from illegal labor occupation. A reasonable question to ask all the leadership in Washington and all State lawmakers is where are thousands of illegal immigrants whose lives were disrupted by Arizona’s policing provisions–flew to places unknown? My guess is they didn’t go far?
As more State legislators are fighting for their own survival and they enact tough illegal alien restraining enforcement the likely destination is California, Nevada, Colorado, Perhaps Utah and anywhere further afield that panders to the large ethnic blocs and illegal immigrant and migrant families. One only can imagine the chaos as hundreds of thousands of these people end up in welfare lines, hospital waiting rooms and adding to even higher expenditures to join the millions already there. Countless thousands will join the already clogged neighborhoods in the social service State of California, others will go elsewhere. California is already burdened with a 24 billion dollar deficit meltdown, Nevada will be looking for another $3.billion to cover its debt as Carson City is investigating another tax hike. An estimated $113 billion dollars goes to support illegal aliens yearly and these dollars are also climbing throughout America.
Now is the time to shield this nation from foreign invaders, from drug dealers and those who come and expect citizens and legally authorized residents to keep paying for the rest of the world’s poor. This is why the Tea Party was organized on a grand scale and that’s why hundreds of pro-sovereignty groups are recruiting people who have just had enough of the games played by our politicians. One amnesty was enough that turned into a travesty and burned every taxpaying American. ICE should go into every Sanctuary City in force and arrest every Mayor, Elected officer who has engineered these provisions. NumbersUSA has a million regular citizens who want to prevent further exploitation of this nation by foreign countries, to elevate their pressure valve of growing impoverished wanting populations.
Our taxes keep rising because the large corporate entities are waging war on the middle class and the poor, not only in this country but also all over the world. I want an America that increases the potential of all people not just the rich people. The rich people of this country have been brought up to believe that the poor are always trying to steal from them and the poor people have been brought up knowing that the rich are stealing from them. Lets work together or we all fall. To call anyone illegal is arrogant. Wall Street and the war put us in this circumstance not the mexicans.
