In the ultra-conservative wasteland of Arizona politics something has been taking place that is indicative of a national trend.

Recently the state legislature passed laws the created rather draconian restrictions on employers for hiring undocumented workers. Already prosecution has been enacted against numerous firms in the state for hiring undocumented workers knowingly or unknowingly.

The conservative legislators who managed to get this law passed have become emboldened.

A ultra-conservative legislator, a Republican from Mesa (a suburb of Phoenix and the third largest city in the state) has kodak v803 8mp digital camera a bill that would require all local and state police to check the legality of everyone they stop to be in the USA. It would also require that all school districts and hospitals check the legality of everyone being educated and treated.

This puts a huge burden on the school districts and hospitals making them de facto agents of US immigration policy, not to mention local police departments.

As if this werent bad enough, the law also disallows janet napolitano to anchor babies.

Anchor children are children born in the United States of America to undocumented workers 2008 nfl draft order are here illegally.

These children are US citizens by janet napolitano of their being born in the USA. This is as stated in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.

This law was challenged in the US Supreme Court in 1998 when it was sought to disallow citizenship to children born in the USA of Chinese priscilla ceballos />It was contented at that time that Chinese immigrants were undesirable because they brought a history of cultural drug use with them.

The Supreme court upheld the constitutionality of the 14th Amendment.

The legislators have previously passed such bills only to have them vetoed by conservative Democratic governor Janet Napolitano.

Napolitano is a former Federal Prosecutors and one can argue that she is only nominally a Democratic governor just as one can argue that Slick Willie Clinton was one of the best Republican Presidents of the past century.

The Republican legislator introducing this legislation is aware that Napolitano will veto the bill.

With that in mind, the legislation has been written so that it will bypass the signature of the governor.

Arizona is a state where its citizen have the right of referendum. If an referendum item is approved at the ballot box it doesnt need the governors signature to become law.

The citizens of Arizona along with California and Texas and to a lesser extent New Mexico, are rightly upset with the Feds for their hawaii football roster of action on the immigration issue. After all, it is through these states that most undocumented workers enter the USA

Aside from blatant racism against darker skinned people, the primary reason being given or this legislation is that it janet napolitano costing the taxpayers of Arizona 5 billion dollars a year to education the children of the state. The legislator claims that 60% of this money goes to educate children that are here illegally, though he cannot backup his claim with concrete statistics.

This is in spite of the fact that undocumented workers have taken over and revitalized rundown and abandoned areas of Tucson and Phoenix that have produced billions of dollars in revenue for the state.
