Text of site (excerpt):
ARIZONA IS BESIEGED by illegal immigration–more people and drugs cross illegally into the United States through Arizona than any other state. And Arizonans suffer the massive levels of crime that go with it. Drug and human smuggling, extortion, kidnapping and murders. And the Federal government has done NOTHING to stop it.
Arizonans have had enough. They decided to stop waiting for the Feds to do what the Constitution mandates–to protect its citizens from external threats. so they passed legislation–SB1070–to help stop the robberies, shootings, rapes, kidnapping, murders, and madness.
As Michelle Malkin has said: “They’re doing the job the feds won’t do — taking the law and our borders seriously to protect the health, safety, and welfare of our citizens first.”
This isn’t about racism, or xenophobia, or “apartheid” or any of the other hysterical slanders the left has come up. This is about the safety and well-being of the citizens of the state. And its support was overwhelming–70% of Arizonans supported it; and bi-partisan–with 84% of Republicans and 51% of Democrats in favor.
WE STAND WITH ARIZONA. WE STAND AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. WE STAND AGAINST THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT’S REFUSAL TO ADDRESS SECURING THE BORDERS OR ENFORCING LAWS AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. WE STAND AGAINST THE PLAN TO PROVIDE AMNESTY FOR THE 15-20 MILLION ILLEGALS IN THIS COUNTRY.
We support the magnificent state of Arizona, and will support its companies, its products, and its incomparable natural attractions. We oppose any attempt to boycott the good people of Arizona.
We call on the United States government to start doing its job according to the Constitution: Secure the Borders, Enforce the immigrations laws, Protect its citizens.
WE STAND WITH YOU ARIZONA!

You know what really bugs me?
Steph C (Diary) Saturday, April 24th at 11:41AM EST (link)The money spent on courts to protect them from deportation would buy their citizenship several times over.
But, of course, it’s not about becoming a citizen, is it? They just want all the rights of it without the responsibility.

This violence is ever bit as bad as it is in Iraq. Shame on
Obama for brow beating a state that is doing the work he should be doing.
The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.
It's moments like these that make me
aesthete (Diary) Saturday, April 24th at 2:04PM EST (link)yearn for a “partially like” button on Facebook: though most of the attacks from the left have been scurrilous (the typical trifecta of xenophobia, racism, and class warfare have been trotted out by leftists), the bill itself severely curtails the civil rights of many of AZ’s citizens and legal residents, who are guilty of nothing besides existing and looking or sounding Hispanic.
The act of defending any of the cardinal virtues has today all the exhilaration of a vice – G.K. Chesterton
