Holy Christ dude, I know you keep saying it, I keep saying it too, so stop repeating as if I don't understand or agree with that.
agree.

And if their wasn't a demand for their labor, they would not come.
It has ALWAYS been a matter of economics, it was true for your ancestors just as it is for the "illegals".
You introduced it? So not only are you a movie producer/bagel eating wannabe cowboy......but a member of the AZ Legislature?Well, in 2007 we introduced the Legal Arizona Workers Act which did EXACTLY what you suggest but the Obama administration decided to sue us to overturn it.
It is a matter of law, not vigilantes on the road.If someone wants to come here to work then they need to do so LEGALLY.
By coming here illegally they are setting themselves up for problems farther down the road.
Uh....it is the Chamber of Commerce representing BUSINESSES that has the money and power to block laws that stymies their profit margins.our state has enacted many laws, one which would take away the business license of people who hire illegals, yet the liberals and illegals complain its not fair.
make it illegal for people to stop and pickup illegals for day labor.......again its been claimed its not fair.

You guys are are just clueless to the economics.
PS..I'm an AZ native.

News Flash...the SCOTUS upheld it.....and it was the Chamber of Commerce that filed the original case against it. If only you guys knew who is your real enemy.
That is not what I said, I said they brought suit to stop the legislation under discussion.......but if you SERIOUSLY believe the the CoC does not have a huge influence on the AZ legislature, then this is worse than I thought.what?....laws are made by our legislature ,not the COC....although they made have influence, they dont make laws.
WTF? I'll give you a pass on the grammar......but just what are you asking? Master?our state has made several laws, the federal government has sought to destroy......you yourself brought up the legislature.......no one else did.
and i stated they have acted in accordance with what you said.
and your a master?
Um, the court challenge on the legislation under discussion, is know as "Chamber v Whiting", ie Chamber of Commerce.The ACLU challenged it as did some employers and damned near every "human rights" group.
The challenge by the employers involved a conflict between meeting the requirements of the LAWA and existing anti-discrimination laws. In essence, an employer had to hire someone before they could check their status and then would have to fire that person if they couldn't pass E-Verify which, at the time, had LOTS of conflicts. The idea was sound but the tools to get the job done simply hadn't been perfected yet.
The challenge by the ACLU and the human rights groups was because in addressing the issue of illegal immigration from both the employer side and the illegal entrant side it might have actually been effective.
The Holder DoJ took offense to it because the law originated in Arizona and didn't allow the Executive branch to exercise complete supremacy over immigration.
That is not what I said, I said they brought suit to stop the legislation under discussion.......but if you SERIOUSLY believe the the CoC does not have a huge influence on the AZ legislature, then this is worse than I thought.
WTF? I'll give you a pass on the grammar......but just what are you asking? Master?
Wow.
If you wanted to stem the flow of workers, then you would be pressuring the AZ Chamber of Commerce, the AZ House and Senate and Jan to stop BUSINESSES from hiring, but AZ business has relied on cheap labor since before 1912. If you were interested in stemming the flow of MJ, then you would be pushing to relax further the laws on use and cultivation.
The money, the power, to limit efforts to stop hiring rests with the Chamber of Commerce. Follow the money, you have lost perspective, you are not focused on the interests how wield the real power.what you said........
i posted our legislature has already enacted laws, to do as you have stated people need to pressure them to do.......well they did it.
to stop benefits to illegals, to make it illegal to stop and pickup illegal day workers, to make it illegal for them to hangout at home depot for jobs.
to take away license of businesses who hire illegals............and everyone of these actions, has been set upon by liberals and illegals as being ........unfair hateful and mean....or claim they are illegal laws.

It is this simple, if they cannot receive a paycheck, they will not remain. I have seen this set of arguments from guys like you for decades and you guys NEVER get it, it is all about economics.
You are not getting it, the SCOTUS upheld it.sorry...... your not getting it........laws were already passed.....but over turned by the federal government....of did you not pay attention to what happened.
You are not getting it, the SCOTUS upheld it.
You continue to miss the bigger picture, you guys always do.

Were we talking about SB1070? No we weren't.The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that one key part of the Arizona immigration law, known as Senate Bill 1070, is constitutional, paving the way for it to go into effect. Three other portions were deemed unconstitutional in a 5-3 opinion.
The part ruled constitutional is among the most controversial of the law's provisions. It requires an officer to make a reasonable attempt to determine the immigration status of a person stopped, detained or arrested if there's reasonable suspicion that person is in the country illegally.

I never said they were the "only" interest, I said they are the money and power behind attempts to block law restricting access to cheap labor.You might want to educate yourself a little more on Whiting. While the USCOCC was the lead in the case it wasn't the only party:
U.S. Chamber
The USCC is a lobbying group and under Donahue have supported a number of acts which fly in the face of Conservatism including an endorsement of Hillarycare and support of Obama's "stimulus". Their opposition to the LAWA was a political decision made to keep them on top of the K street crowd.
Were we talking about SB1070? No we weren't.
You might have brought it up in your mind, but the discussion was about the "Legal Arizona Workers Act"...but then again, you were not really following along.
SB1070 has nothing to do employment enforcement....so you have yet again changed the subject.
I think the Smugglers want to split it with him.It's his desert, dammit, and he wants sole control.
I am pretty sure good old boy joe doesn't want to start threatening his support base. The guntards and racist dicks of the minutemen are the guys who put him into power, and without them he won't be sherrif for much longer. The good old boy code is when you see people doing the wrong thing and they are white racists like you, you look the other way as a cop. Jope's testicles might have started to grow a bit to big for his britches and the good old boys will cut him down to size if he starts screwing with white people. Don't get me wrong, if joe wants to start thinking he is king of the white people he is certainly welcome to take on the nutbars of his race. I am perfectly fine with anything he wants to do that expedites his removal as sheriff or from this mortal coil. If he wants to send ex-action hero stephen segal into the fray i am quite ok with that also. Perhaps he could hire chuck norris too and we could get rid of many useless twats all at once. Chuck norris, so bad ass he was killed by some inbred hick with an assault rifle looking for mexicans. Oh please santa i have been especially good this year and not killed any idiots so could you please bring me that headline for christmas and make sure it is from an actual news source?
Owning a gun?
I think a lot of people have a negative stereotype of white gun owners as being bigoted, ignorant people. That's why when you have someone saying that not all groups patrolling the desert are created equal and that some coordinate their efforts with law enforcement, it doesn't matter.All gun owners are racist?
