Phoenix police union wants to fight for Arizona law

A union representing 2,400 Phoenix police officers wants to become a defendant in a lawsuit challenging Arizona's new immigration enforcement law in order to defend it.

The Phoenix Law Enforcement Association on Thursday asked a federal judge for permission to intervene in the case.

The union says police will be helped by the law by having the ability to identify and remove illegal immigrants. On the other hand, the union says blocking implementation would mean officers face (quote) "a heightened risk of death or serious injury caused by illegal aliens."

The law's numerous provisions include a requirement that police enforcing another law ask people about their immigrant status if there's a reasonable basis to believe they're in the country illegally.

They did misread it. The Pheonix Police Union SUPPORTS 1070.

The headline says:

That's understandable Newmexican , I had misread it at the start myself. And when you see "UNION" you naturally think of people that profess illegal invaders to add to their numbers,since American union members are dropping in tha last articlles I saw.......so I can see where you are coming from

But...but...just yesterday, Obama said "It makes it difficult for people here illegally to report crimes -– driving a wedge between communities and law enforcement, making our streets more dangerous and the jobs of our police officers more difficult.

And you don’t have to take my word for this. You can speak to the police chiefs and others from law enforcement here today who will tell you the same thing."

Looks like Obama has a bunch of Democrat mouth pieces who just happen to be lawmen.

Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon and public safety manager(chief of police) Jack Harris are Democrats.

Harris retired as chief, was rehired so he could get his pension/salary by changing the job title, couldn't have done it without Phil. Double dipping and the police union and Judicial Watch are going after Harris. Phoenix has some corruption at the city level.

That's the kind of law enforcement officers Obama will put out there to tell America that enforcing the law will be a disaster.

I'm more inclined to believe 2,400 Phoenix police officers over those two Obama boys, Gordon and Harris.
