ARIZONA CORRECT ON IMMIGRATION

Illegals in the U.S. total over 12 million. They have broken our laws
and should be punished, not rewarded.

Drugs, illegals with or without diseases, and weapons are smuggled
across our borders daily; this all costs many billions of taxpayer
dollars annually -- jobs, lives, health and our freedoms.

Arizona has it totally correct in fighting this illegal cancer; and
it will save them jobs, lives, their health and unnecessary costs.

The U.S. government has fumbled this illegal curse. Employers must be
held accountable for hiring illegals, sufficient and efficient border
security must be provided and enforced, and the other border states,
to include Texas, should follow Arizona's lead.

Amnesty should be rejected and no pardons allowed. Our laws are being
violated and ignored. The only government service provided to
illegals should be immediate deportation with their children.

Remember when Prohibition was repealed and the booze-runner outlaws
were out of work? The booze taxes flourished and both the
crime-fighting money and lives were saved.

The same could and should apply if drugs were legalized.

The successful plan is already available to be implemented, but it
would cost many of our elected and gutless officials some income.
