REPORTS THAT GOV. JAN BREWER WILL SIGN IMMIGRATION BILL!!!
Governor expected to sign SB1070, as statewide rallies and walkouts continue

Arizona: the edge of civilization
Anti-immigrant legislation sparks protests and rallies in Phoenix and Tucson
Arizona residents are literally up in arms over the Arizona Legislature's passage of SB1070. Protest rallies have continued throughout the week, and more are planned for today and this weekend in Tucson and Phoenix.
The New York Times, The Arizona Republic (not exactly the bastion of liberal thinking), Arizona Congressman Raul Grijalva, Stephen Colbert, and now President Obama have all come out against this legislation which would require Arizona law enforcement officers to ask people for proof of citizenship during legal contacts. If they don't have proof of citizenship on their person, they are presumed to be illegal.
Saturday, April 24, is Governor Jan Brewer's deadline. If she doesn't sign by then, it will become law without her signature. The Derechos Humanos website announced that she will sign the bill Friday morning-- while they protest outside.
Will this legislation have the dire economic and social consequences predicted by The Arizona Republic and others? Only time will tell.

And remember, while you celebrate, having any of your rights taken away even if it is directed at something or a class you oppose, leaves us all one step away from having the same rights taken from us.

I used to watch Jon Stewart and Steve Colbert but that is drawing to a close, since they seem to make light of the illegal alien problem and sway with the liberals.
Jon Stewart even showed the clip of William speaking in S Carolina and made fun of it. When will these people learn what is happening to this country as we speak?
Besides I watch a Comedy Channel to be entertained and take my mind off the political scene in the evenings. I do not want to hear more people getting trashed for their pleasures and so-called entertainment.
The people they trash may make some comments about other people , but it is not for entertainment or laughs. It is to wake up as many Americans as they can."When you have knowledge,you have a responsibility to do better"_ Paula Johnson
