Governor gets one veto right and two wrong
May 31, 2005

Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano recently vetoed three items impacting illegal immigration. She was right on one of them but wrong on the other two.

The correct veto involved rejection of a proposal passed by the Legislature that would have had state and local police agencies enforcing federal immigration laws. The reasoning behind this idea was that the Border Patrol is not adequately enforcing immigration laws.

The governor based her veto on the fact that the law did not provide additional funding to cover the cost of enforcing immigration laws and therefore would be too costly for the state and local agencies.

While this is probably true, a better reason to reject the idea is that enforcing immigration laws is simply not a proper function of state or local law enforcement agencies. Regulating immigration and safeguarding the borders is totally a federal function. State and local agencies have no business getting involved in this.

Certainly, the local justice system can apprehend, arrest and punish immigrants â€â€

This JERK just keeps on going like the energizer bunny!

WHY NOT??? Explain how these ILLEGALS are NOT breaking STATE LAWS? Please, someone help me out!

If they're taking jobs in a specific town.........ILLEGAL
If they're congregating en masse in a specific town..........ILLEGAL
If they're living stacked up like cord wood in a specific town......ILLEGAL
{enforcing these laws has nothing to do with the borders}

GET HER OUT OF OFFICE, Arizonians!! GET TOUGH

Well those bills can be overridden with a 2/3 vote in the legislature and then will it will become law and just by pass the Worthless Govenor.

Hopefuly that is what will happen.

Did those bills pass by a large margin or not? If not i wouldnt cout on it. Though thier has to be some type of legal means or even a recall on the governor, they constitution gives that power to the people to regualte and change even in a time when those politicians arent exercising thier power of the people.
