Arizona doubles down: Slew of new illegal alien laws proposed

Must be something about the desert heat that causes Arizona Republicans to grow bigger balls. Hell, even the state’s Governor has bigger balls than most Republicans and she’s a woman.

Must be something about the desert heat that causes Arizona Republicans to grow bigger balls than their Eastern counterparts. Hell, even the state’s Governor has bigger balls than most Republicans and she’s a woman.

Here’s the latest news on Arizona’s new anti-illegal alien laws from the Associated Press:

The ACLU doesn't like Russell Pearce, which is probably the best political endorsement any Arizona politician could ever receive

The Senate Appropriations Committee that narrowly endorsed (Russell) Pearce’s latest bill on a 7-6 vote also approved others targeting automatic citizenship for U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants and requiring hospitals to report patients who cannot show they’re in the country legally…

It would make it a state crime with a 30-day minimum jail sentence to drive a vehicle while in the country illegally, and Republican Rick Crandall of Mesa said a provision allowing forfeiture of vehicles driven by illegal immigrants could prompt car rental companies to demand proof of legal status from tourists and other visitors.
“It’s the type of thing that completely undoes” a recently unveiled campaign to promote the state’s tourism industry, Crandall said.”

The measure allows for business licenses to be suspended if an employer doesn’t use the federal E-Verify system to check the work eligibility of new hires. Workers caught using a false identity to get a job would face mandatory six-month jail sentences.

Of course, the ACLU felt compelled to jump in against anyone defending the United States:

However, Alessandra Soler Meetze, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona, said, “This bill is miles beyond SB1070 in terms of its potential to roll back the rights and fundamental freedoms of both citizens and non-citizens alike.”

Commenter “WhiskeyRiver,” who tipped us to this story, sums it up nicely:

“Russell Pearce is the state Senator that got Arizona’s S.B. 1070 pushed through last year. Rick Crandell is a dipwad. I would have no problem, and will be glad to prove at any time, that I’m a citizen to rent a car. And Ms. Soler-Meetze? ACLU says it all.”
