Visit The Grand Canyon State (as published 5/7)

There are millions of illegal aliens in the United States. How many millions you choose to acknowledge depends upon which reporting agency you believe, and how many more have entered since the last count. They are all criminals, having violated federal law. As a result, most of them are living under the radar to evade detection. Some of them, however, have the nerve to complain about their situation. The failure of the federal government effectively to enforce the law has allowed some of these scofflaws to publically demonstrate against, and voice their objection to, the laws they are violating. Fortunately, they have no say on the topic, because they are not citizens.

Now, the State of Arizona has passed and amended legislation to authorize state and local police officials to enforce the same laws the federal government haven't. They have said that persons engaged in questionable activities may be required to verify their immigration status. This will surely include those who advocate for illegality, because they may already be engaged in such activity. Unfortunately, because millions are already criminals, some Hispanics may attract greater scrutiny, but there's no reason to suspect the police will be anything but completely professional. Should there be any doubt, I would be one of the first to object.

[GOOD RIDDANCE: I am pleased to announce that, after eight long years, the P BS televison show "Now" has ended its run of liberal propaganda and crybaby faux expressions of compassion. The people who inflicted it on America will now have to find real jobs. I'll bet President Obama needs some czars of their ilk. He can pay them with your increased taxes, and pretend their hiring comprises a significant reduction in unemployment.]
