EXCERPT:

"If a local office is installed, agents would, as they had done before, help local law enforcement identify violent, serious criminal activity. This could include human, drug or weapons smugglers, people who knowingly hire and exploit undocumented immigrants, and murder, aggravated assault, rape, kidnapping, and auto thefts and burglaries.

It would not include round-ups and raids.

Local officials say a common rumor is that local police will automatically take undocumented immigrants into custody for committing no offense other than not having legal residency. "The question comes up:'Well, they're criminals already,'" Boughner said. "Well, that's not what we mean. We mean if they're breaking the Arizona state law and are also here illegally.".....

You voters in Flagstaff,remember this at election time! Quote:" Federal Immigration and Nationality Act
Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii)

"Any person who ... encourages or induces an alien to ... reside ... knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such ... residence is ... in violation of law, shall be punished as provided ... for each alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs ... fined under title 18 ... imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both."

Section 274 felonies under the federal Immigration and Nationality Act, INA 274A(a)(1)(A):

A person (including a group of persons, business, organization, or local government) commits a federal felony when she or he:

* assists an alien s/he should reasonably know is illegally in the U.S. or who lacks employment authorization, by transporting, sheltering, or assisting him or her to obtain employment, or

* encourages that alien to remain in the U.S. by referring him or her to an employer or by acting as employer or agent for an employer in any way, or

* knowingly assists illegal aliens due to personal convictions."

When the need for immigrant workers is gone, the immigrants will no longer come here. But the need is here, out economy would collapse without them. These are not "aliens" - they are people, human beings who are hungry, their children are hungry.

They can't because too many illegals.
Send the illegals home and the reconquistas must go first.

We do NOT need the ILLEGAL immigrants here in the United States. We do not need them sucking up taxpayer funds. We do not need them abusing the system. The taxpayers do not need to pay for their children's education either.

Even your link says Mexico DEPORTS the ILLEGALS they find in Mexico so why are you against the United States deporting ILLEGALS?

Didn't anyone ever tell these folks--don't reproduce unless you can support your children? We DO have birth control these days you know.

Don't fall for this crap. Look at the bigger picture.
