There’s a rebellion brewing in state houses across the country. To paraphrase Network, people are mad as hell about illegal aliens and they aren’t going to take it anymore.
Now Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum, who’s running for governor, has proposed an anti-illegal alien law that’s even tougher than Arizona’s.
Reuters reports the anti-illegal immigration information:
“Florida will not be a sanctuary state for illegal aliens,” McCollum, who was accompanied by state Representative Will Synder, said in a statement that also gave details of the proposed law.
The legislation would require law enforcement officials to check a suspected illegal immigrant’s status in the course of a stop, or a violation of another law.
This goes beyond the existing situation in the state where officers are allowed to check for immigration status, but not required to.
Florida, especially its southern portion, is a major U.S. migration destination for nationals from the Caribbean and Latin America, making it a cultural and racial melting-pot.
McCollum’s office said the proposed Florida immigration legislation goes “one step further” than a similar law recently introduced in Arizona, which has triggered protests and a constitutional challenge from President Barack Obama’s administration.
The Major League Baseball Players union has protested the Arizona law and some players say they may boycott next Sumer’s all-star game in Phoenix. They may want to rethink this, because at the rate states are proposing Arizona-like laws, they may run out of places to play.

O'Reilly stated last night that $400,000 went to the medical care of an illegal alien who COMMITTED CRIMES and was imprisoned in our jail system. He had a heart attack and was taken care of withour tax dollars... now... this is the reason why I am pissed. If I am in pain and I go to the emergency room to get attended I have to jump through hoops just to get some attention, but if I were to say hey I am here illegally I am sure I would get the star treatment. This is disgusting. Now if Florida wants to do this fine and whatever, but actually do it. If this is just a ply for the governor's seat he is just going to piss off a lot of people when he doesn't come through.
