Arizona Disses Wapner and Takes the Law into Their Own Hands

State governments are starting to take the law into their own hands. Forget about Judge Wapner, Doug Llewlyn and The People’s Court (otherwise known as the U.S. Government) – we’ve already waited too long for them to do anything. The Governor of Arizona, Janet Napolitano, approved the bill on Monday after a long three year debate. Governor Napolitano is a Democrat, yes that’s right, a Democrat. The illegal immigration issue is really turning into a non-political issue for those who have their states or countries best interest at heart.

The bill will prohibit businesses from hiring illegal immigrants and will also require verification of employment eligibility. It’s a shame that a state is forced to do this as we already have federal laws to prevent the hiring of illegal aliens. Not surprisingly, 10 other states are considering a similar law.

“Immigration is a federal responsibility, but … it is now abundantly clear that Congress finds itself incapable of coping with the comprehensive immigration reforms our country needs,” explained Gov. Napolitano. “I signed it, too, out of the realization that the flow of illegal immigration into our state is due to the constant demand of some employers for cheap, undocumented labor.”

It is estimated that one in 10 workers in the Arizona economy are illegal immigrants. That’s 10% of all workers in Arizona for those of you in Broward County.
