Now the pro-illegals liars are now trying to keep kids from a Tournament because they do not like the fact Arizona does not tolerate illegal immigration.
Highland Park High School Cancels Trip To Arizona Tournament Over Immigration Law (POLL)
Suburban Highland Park High School is coming off its best season for girls basketball in 26 years. But a planned trip to Arizona for a tournament next season has been canceled by the school due to that state's controversial new immigration law.
School officials painted the decision as a matter of safety. The Chicago Tribune spoke with District 113 Assistant Superintendent Suzan Hebson about the decision:
"We would want to ensure that all of our students had the opportunity to be included and be safe and be able to enjoy the experience," Hebson said of the tournament, which will be played in December. "We wouldn't necessarily be able to guarantee that."
Asked if there are undocumented players on the team, or if anyone associated with the team is in the country illegally, Hebson said she did not know.
The school draws students from Highland Park as well as what WLS describes as "the heavily Hispanic suburb of Highwood." Fifteen percent of the school's population is Hispanic.
But parents complain that the school is unwisely making political hay of a sporting event that is entirely unrelated.
Mixing politics with education.
You people want your kids in these places. :doh

I'm pro-illegal. And I'm from Illinois.
Love the decision. Good on 'em.
Here's the thing, though. Because I'm an actual small government conservative I support Arizona's right to pass whatever laws/rules they deem fit. I also support areas on Illinois making the choice to boycott (more directly as well).
How many of the "conservatives" here are actually willing to take the same stance about a school in a state that has jack **** to do with them?
How can you be pro illegal and claim to be for small government?
That alien friends are under the jurisdiction and protection of the laws of the State wherein they are: that no power over them has been delegated to the United States, nor prohibited to the individual States, distinct from their power over citizens. And it being true as a general principle, and one of the amendments to the Constitution having also declared, that “the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people," the act of the Congress of the United States, passed on the — day of July, 1798, intituled “An Act concerning aliens,” which assumes powers over alien friends, not delegated by the Constitution, is not law, but is altogether void, and of no force.

So you're for breaking the law. Got it.
You are for people being paid cheap wages because they are "illegal", you support the theft of SS numbers so illegals can "work".
You outta move down south where the problem isn't some forum discussion but a daily fact of life. Perhaps you'd change your tune, but I doubt it.
I'm 100% in favor of breaking federal laws that are not within the purview of federal authority, yes.
I'm for states being able to decide their own residency and I would like to see federal laws that are not constitutional abolished. If the federal law is outside the realm of federal authority, it should be broken.
I prefer it if they use fake SS numbers instead of stolen ones.
Yeah, because Chicago has, like, way fewer illegal immigrants than most southern cities, right? :lol:
And Illinois isn't the state that has the fourth largest illegal immigrant population. 5th most per capita.
Why is that part always left out of the discussion where Arizona is concerned.
The left wants people to think this is about harrassing maids or dish washers but the aim is to get as many illegals out of the state before they can cause harm to legal residents.
Go live in Nogales Arizona for a couple of weeks and you will change your mind.

That would be totally spot on if you had conservatives on here advocating the government to step in and force the school to attend the tournament.
Having an opinion on the dumbass decisions of the school and being for government expansion into the issue are two completely different issues.
How many of the "conservatives" here support repealing Federal immigration laws and leaving such laws up to the states?
The tournament will go on. It is the kids who loose out. By them not coming do the parents really think the Govenor of AZ will unsign the Bill. Wonder what the kids will think of their parents if SB1070 makes it through the court challenges and is deemed constitutional?
*raises hand*.
Though I am a professed centrist.
Then you and I are on the same side (as long as we ain't in the same state :lol.
Taylor said:Hopefully they fire the idiot who made this decision and find a replacement who is more interested in doing her job than expressing her political views.
True. However, I do think that the Fed should be able to withhold money for social services and public works as leverage in persuading states to standardize their immigration policies.
