Arizona immigration law: Papers pulled to have voters decide

The Arizona Republic .

A former Phoenix City Council candidate said he is organizing a petition drive to repeal the state's new immigration law.

Jon Garrido, who produces an Hispanic Web site and ran unsuccessfully for council last year, pulled organizing papers Monday from the Arizona Secretary of State. He said he expects to be on the street gathering signatures in the next 10 to 14 days.

A referendum on Senate Bill 1070 would require the signature of 76,682 registered voters to get on the November ballot. Circulators would have until 90 days after the legislative session ends to return petitions to the Secretary of State. The session is expected to end sometime in early May.

If the effort gets enough signatures, the referendum would block the law from taking effect until voters could have their say.

Garrido noted the uproar the bill has created and said that he would rely on volunteers to circulate the petitions.

"There's an army of them," he said.

Retired Phoenix attorney Gary Peter Khlar said he is helping to organize the referendum. He predicted the effort will draw support from across the nation and suggested that professional sports players, such as Latino players with Major League Baseball, would be involved in urging repeal of the immigration law.

Letting the VOTERS decide will not repeal the law. This guy should stop drinking the kool-aid and start telling all his illegal buddies to make tracks back to their home countries.

I doubt he'll get that many LEGAL registered voters to sign up. The protestors were mostly school students and people from out of state? Yeah, that'll do it.

They'll fake the signatures the way these kind fake everything else...they're untrustworthy liars, cheats and absconders that have brought their uncultured culture here to bring down this country with their ignorance, dishonesty, disrespect and violence. If they happen to come up with the required signatures...someone had better check EACH AND EVERY ONE of them for authenticity!

Even if they got signatures,how many are legal?

I don't know for sure how they do it in AZ. but in CA. the Registrar of Voters Office checks the signatures against the signature on the voter registration card on file at their office from the original registration. If the signer isn't registered to vote, or if the signatures don't match that signature doesn't count.

How easy it is to vote in NY and NYC:

Just lie in box one and twelve and then turn up at the poles.

YES. I know someone who works in the Registrar's Office.
They take a sample selection of signatures that are turned in. They check them. If there are a lot of signatures that don't match they declare that there aren't enough valid signatures. If the sponsor disagrees they can pay the state to check every signature and count all of the valid ones to see if there are enough to qualify if for the ballot.

And how many of these referendums are challenged after they overwhelmingly pass? Voters have made it clear that enforcement is the only way to fix illegal immigration.
Time and time again, legal citizens try to pass laws to deal with illegal immigrants. Again and again the lawyers and liberal judges rule against citizens and in favor of criminal foreign invaders.
What will it take to force the Federal Government to uphold their sworn duty to American citizens? Is there even one politician in Congress who supports law enforcement over amnesty? Is there anyone in Congress who will risk the backlash for saying illegal immigration is not a civil right?
These law breakers are taught that all the rights under the American Constitution apply to everyone in the country, legal or not. What they don't understand is that the Constitution does not list illegal immigration as a right. Those who violate the laws of our country lose their freedoms. When the law is not enforced, we end up with situations like we face now. Illegal immigrants really believe they have the legal right to challenge any law that infringes on their right to pursue the same rights and privileges as legal immigrants. In fact, they put themselves above the law that requires legal immigrants to carry their immigration documents.
