MLB Players Condemn Arizona Immigration Law, Threaten 2011 All-Star Game Boycott

July 16, 2010 by  

MLB players condemn Arizona Immigration Law, Threaten 2011 All-Star Game BoycottArizona’s controversial new immigration law was a major topic of conversation in the sports world earlier this week, with several prominent athletes speaking out against the statute during Major League Baseball’s All-Star game festivities.

National League pitching star Yovani Gallardo, a Mexican native, told reporters on Monday that he will boycott next year’s mid-summer classic if the game remains in Arizona.

Meanwhile, Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Jose Valverde—who was born in the Dominican Republic—told the Arizona Republic that the law is "the stupidest thing you can ever have."

"Nothing against Americans, but us Latinos have contributed so much to this country," he added "We get our hands dirty and do the work gringos don’t want to do. We’re the ones out there cleaning the streets. Americans don’t want to do that stuff."

However, not all members of the MLB community are condemning the new law, which is scheduled to go into effect on July 29.

St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said he supports the measure, which would give Arizona law enforcement the right to ask for identification from those who they "reasonably suspect" of being an illegal alien.

"I’m actually a supporter of what Arizona’s doing," he said, quoted by Fox News. "The national government doesn’t fix your problem, and you’ve got a problem, they’ve got to take care of it themselves."

MLB Commissioner Bud Selig has yet to comment on the law or the status of next year’s All-Star game, which is still scheduled to be played in Arizona.

    I wonder why these pseudo intelectuals don’t protest Rhode Island,
    which has had an almost identical law on the books for several years,
    or the sanctuary cities that ignore Immigration laws.

  • eddie47d

    MLB players and others see your “lawless” comments towards immigrants dispicable and against human dignity.(threatening statements) You want to throw out the many good Mexicans with the bad ones and have turned it into a racial issue. Securing the border and deporting those who have commited local crimes is a must. Beyond that you come across as facist goons.

    • will

      Eddie, Go spew your Un-American crap on your neighbors lawn to fertilize it. It’s about time for you to mow it anyway isn’t it?

      • Doug

        Hey Eddie I got a Columbian Neck tie for you boy! Where are you so I can deliver it to you!

      • will

        Let me know when you go, I want in on “Traitor care”.

      • eddie47d

        Nope! Mowed it yesterday.

    • http://PersonalLibertyDigest teresa

      Eddie, we can allow you and others like you to “HOST” a couple of these illegals. DO you know that is what it takes to “visit” Europe, you have to have a host family and sign all kinds of declarations saying that you will not get over there and apply for what we know as WELFARE. Should it come to that, your hosting family or individual is responible for your upkeep, CHECK IT OUT!!!

  • Mike Smith

    These overpaid athletes think that money also means brains. They only have one, and it’s not brains. Whomever is their brain telling them to jump into the national spotlight and start things like this could kill the golden egg. Arizona is right in it’s actions, since the govt is so willing to look the other way (kind of like the black panthers voting problem), these fools should stick to somthing they know about, like hitting a curve ball. If they decide to not go to Ariz, they shouldn’t be voted on, or baseball could face a bigger problem than what happened a few years ago. OWNERS—ARE YOU LISTENING?

  • Bill Kay

    To be against Arizona/SB1070 and any law that is in place to protect the U.S.A. is Unamerican and tantamount treason .

    • will

      Right on. Otherwise it’s being a traitor and un-American.
      We need a new and un-biased “House on Un-American activities” and start chopping off those snakes heads.

    The issue of illegal immigration is a gigantic problem thanks to the progressives who want open borders. The only problem with open borders is that it is a magnet for criminals and Jihadist who want to wipe out our cities with dirty bombs and weapons of mass destruction. Not a rant folks. I fully expect Obama and his puppet Napilotano to witness a gargantuan episode of mass destruction and then ride in on a white horse to save the day just before elections. Just remember there may be some events that unfold within the next 90 days to propel the popularity ratings for these corrupt thugs, so don’t allow that to disuade you from voting them out. These people will resort to anything to keep power and control and the border should be your first clue. While thousands of lawbreakers and tons of drugs and thugs come across the border, the President and DHS Chief will hold WE THE PEOPLE hostage until immigration Reform is passed without securing the borders which is not going to fly with the American majority. People who want to work at minimum wage jobs can do so with a immigration workers permit. There is also a legal way toward obtaining citizenship, so we should not listen to these creeps that are crying racial profiling. This is the United States of American and we have laws and a Constitution, we don’t want to hear this crap from criminals who sneak aacross the border then act like they own a piece of the USA. Many of these people want to create a division and obtain a free pass for entitlments without having to pay the price. Why do the democrats like Pelosi, Reid, and Obama support an illegal immigration agenda and also Al Sharpton and the Hispanic caucus in the House stirring up protesters in a violent way. Its about passing a bad amnesty bill that will create 30 million democratic immigrants. That’s right, its about power and control not whats best for WE THE PEOPLE. Vote these people out in Nov before they dismantle our Constitution any further. If you think the democrats will save your freebies, I got news for you, the only hope of creating a method to stop the social security bleeding before there is no mo, is by voting for the conservative Republicans to stop this march toward spending insanity. Obama and the democrats are so busy seizing control of our resources that they have not tried to work on making social security solvent and creating jobs. The democrats seem to be oblivious to the people who are begging for fiscal restraint. Case in point, the Financial Regulatory bill which doesn’t really stop a finacial meltdown, yet the democrats and three RINO’s passed it into law, despite the enormous cost of the added govt bureacracy. Big govt has gotten enormously bigger and between it and the deficit, we are in a tailspin. Your choices are simple, vote these radicals out or get ready for major strife, your choice.

    • will

      But eveyone remember, It will be the obama administration that allowes it to happen and will probably let them kill off a few of your relatives to make themselves look good in the eyes of the voters come election day. You people should know by now that the liberals will go to any extreme to get what they want or to make an encumbant look bad. It is their nature, the nature of the BEAST. Maybe even to do with the mark of the beast as stated in the Bible.

    • Rip

      Agreed, But what We MUST remember, is that the current administration is pushing and Hoping for a race war, or any other civil uprising so that they can declare Martial Law, If We allow ourselves to be manipulated in this manner, We WILL LOOSE OUR FREEDOM ! Martial Law will permanently throw out our constitution, and there will never again be an “Election” Stay Calm and Vote Conservatively in the Mid term election, If that fails, THEN is the time to dig up your Guns and powder

      • will

        Everybody I know has been stocking up on guns and ammo for in case we have to go to war with our enemy. If it happened today how many American military will side against their own people? They all have friends and relatives here. obama would have to bring in UN troops to cope so it’s something to think about if we need to strike while the iron is hot and don’t let it happen.

        When there is no enemy left then we will re-enact our constitution and there will be no Marshall law and we can elect decent people, honest people, to handle stuff. It can be done.

  • slickporsche

    I get a real kick from these hispanics, that think we need them here to do our dirty work. WE have been doing it since we created this country and all without the help of you Hispanics, and will be doing better after you are all deported, along with your legal children. I think I can say this with certainty, that the majority of us do not give [offensive term removed] about any of you Latino’s-Hispanics. Go home and take the legal ones with you, and don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

    • eddie47d

      You certainly don’t hide your racist arrogance. You and HOWE do much to make the other side look good. Your extremisms are far worse than Obamas and will not help the Republican Party. In the short term you may win like the nazi’s did but in the long term you will bring yourselves down.

      • will

        What baseball team do you play for you illegal lover? You got a green card there bunky? Isn’t it time for you to go polish your picture of the head illegal in DC? You’d better snap to it junior, some nice real American white boy might take your landscping job.

      • Rip

        Wanting Immigrants to abide by the laws of this Country has NOTHING to do with Racism. This Illegal entry into the U.S. is Hurting EVERY LEGAL CITIZEN ! Black, White, Asian, European and HISPANIC! When You call in the race card You show Your Ignorance. Shouting about These law breakers, is insane, would You want leniency for a rapist who had violated Your Sister ? probably not………..

      • http://PersonalLibertyDigest teresa

        HOW… can you call “slickporsche” a racist???? Do you have any idea about this individual??? Do you know his/her race? Do you know anything about this person that you have called a RACIST???? WHY does it make us racist when we DO NOT WANT ILLEGIALS in this country?? Do you know their children are granted US citizenship just by being born in the GOOD OLE USA???? Do you want to go to the EMERGENCY ROOM having a heart attack and wait several hours behind these “NASTY ASS LEACHES” because buddy boy that is what is going on!! YOU my friend need to WAKE UP.

      • eddie47d

        “Take the legal ones with you” That is in your face obvious that he is a racist.For you to defend him kind of makes two peas in a pod.

      • will

        You sound like kinky top himself, There! does that make you feel better? You sound Sick. However you came to the right place to whine, just leave your address and several “Doctors” will come cure you. And the good news is the house call is free.

        A few liberal tactics work both ways.

      • Al Sieber

        eddie47d, often people who accuse other people of racism are racists themselves, like you. your argument is getting old because thats all you have.

  • K. D. M.

    Guess I just have to tell them to go some where else as I will not change my mind. They can stick their threats up their ass as far as I am concerned. The baseball players are a bunch of friggin cry babies that are way over paid as it is.

    Just goes to show you, ball players are idiots if they condemn a state law that mirrors federal law. Tells me these ball players condone criminal activity.

      Yeah!!! I thought it was BASEBALL, HOTDOGS, APPLE PIE and CHEVROLET!!!
      Why did we let our beloved game start getting all these “South of the Border/ Below the equater” individuals anyway????? They need to shut the hell up or we can see that they are “OUT OF THE GAME” period!!!!

  • jomama

    Yeah?? Well starting today I am boycotting the Detroit Tigers & National League pitching star Yovani Gallardo (what team is that, anyway??)!!
    You know – today I saw white landscaper. He was about 19 years old. Nice American kid picking up a cup of coffee on his way to work. I commended that kid for doing one of those jobs “that Americans won’t do” (according to Jose Valverde – who was born in the Dominican Republic).
    Screw all of those demanding, IGNORANT & RACIST a**holes!! They got their nerve…………………..

    • http://?? Joe H.

      jomama,
      One of my friends just up the street is a landscaper and a good one. He is American has two kids and a wife. him and his brother run the business and they have a couple of young caucasion kids working for them. Oh, BTW, he and his brother are caucaison as well! now tell me the “average” American won’t mow lawns! I know another that washes windows as a business. Another that has a pick-up and a powerwasher and washes houses and decks for a living. When things are slow, he cleans gutters as well.

  • Bogusbob

    Who cares what baseball players want to do. I would love to see pro-bseball just go away. they are all cry babies and have no respect for the sport anyway. All they care about is $$$$$$. bive me the Mickey Mantles and Babe Ruths.

    • http://?? Joe H.

      Bogusbob,
      Let’s not forget the Lou Gehrigs of the game as well.

  • http://msn Joe Melton

    After hearing this I think baseball is a thing of the pass for me. I Have always been a big fan of baseball. To me it was the only sport I ever watch, or went to. Obama want to spred the money around how spreding so of they money around to help pay the cost of what it cost the taxpayer to support the illegals. See if they yeal then.

  • Scott

    Ya know, the fans vote on who goes to the All Star game except pitchers. We don’t have to vote for these foreign players that are against the Ari law and can Boycott the managers that against the law, along with their sponsors.

  • Hannibal Smith

    LOOK, ALL THIS POST PROVES IS THAT SOME M.L.B. PLAYERS ARE UNEDUCATED LIBERALS TOO.. AFTERALL, NO ONE IS PERFECT.. IF I COULD SUCCESSFULLY HIT 80 TO 100 M.P.H. PITCHES, I WOULDN’T CARE ABOUT REASONING CLEARLY REGARDING IMMIGRATION LAWS EITHER..

    • Momo

      If you could hit 80 to 100 mph pitches, then you would be making a few million a year and could afford to be a liberal.

      • http://PersonalLibertyDigest teresa

        Amen to both of you. That is the key word. AFFORD, I personally can not afford to be LIBERAL. But I can boycott Baseball. Bud Selig better think this one through real good before he decides to do this. Most Baseball fans are conservatives….

      • Bargal

        You stupid ass there are military men and women that can it a target at one mile plus to keep yo safe and they certainly don’t make milliions. Kiss The arces of those that are against the Arizona law (which is the law of the land of America) and thank God there are men and women willing to risk their live so you can sit here and back those against our country and the laws that they have to follow.

  • Scott

    Yovani Gallardo should go back to Mexico and pitch in their league and see how much money he makes. The law needs to check his credentials.
    For once LaRussa is right. I’ll take back all my bad mouthing about him.
    Arizona is right. Push these Illegal thugs out of our country, regardless of where they are from, along with Obama.

    • http://INTERNETEXPLORER GUNDOCTOR

      TO SCOTT…..BUT WHERE IS OBUMMER FROM????

    • will

      He admitted he was born in Kenya, I wonder if they would allow him to return to his roots. If I don’t agree with everything he says or does them I’m labeled a racist. Well buthead (obama) if you read this you need to know that there are millions of obama style “racists” all around you these days and the numbers are rapidly expanding.

  • anastasia

    good grief! Are these 2 MLB guys educated at all, what do they not understand about ILLEGAL????

    I suppose if we re-routed all of the illegals to your house, you would welcome them with open arms????

    Yeah right! Get out there and try to make noise…..but if you make that noise, you need to be the ones carrying the load and taking care of the drug dealers, the war loards, the rapists and murderers.

    No one is saying that there aren’t great Mexican people out there, because we KNOW that there are—but they also know that they have to come into someon else’s country and do it the right way, just like we would have to do if we went inot theirs!

    Get over yourselves…..one day you won’t be MLB stars anymore, more than likely you will wash up soon and be broke ………

    • Scott

      Did you ever stop to think just how many of the MLB players are foreigners? Goes to show!!!

    • http://INTERNETEXPLORER GUNDOCTOR

      RIGHT ON ANASTASIA……..BUT THEY WON’T BE BROKE ‘CAUSE THEY KNOW HOW TO PICK FRUIT, PICK UP GARBAGE, AND ALL THAT STUFF WE WON’T DO. YEH RIGHT! WANNA BUY A BRIDGE?

      • eddie47d

        Want to buy a bridge? Won’t have to because we won’t see you picking fruit or hanging from the back of a garbage truck.

      • Rip

        AS IF, LOL , I have picked fruit and picked up garbage and dug ditches, and many other things that even Foreigners WON’T do, There are some pretty nasty jobs out there that MOST HUMANS would not want to do, The thing is that there is always a Legal citizen who WILL do the Job when faced with starvation, What is it about Illegal that You don’t understand ? If You can’t pledge Your allegiance to THIS REPUBLIC then Go to a country that you think is better, STOP trying to force the rest of us To CHANGE, when there is a country you can live in that requires No change to accommodate YOU !

        Eddie, you poor misguide ,obama lover and disbeliever of Federal law…You are out numbered on this and always will be. Why not take a nice trip to Mexico (avoiding AZ. of course) and keep your anti-American self there for the next 50 years.

      • Bargal

        Eddie yo evidently haven’t been in the military. Shut up and sit down because you are speaking out of turn while the military are keeping yu and yours safe here at home doing just what you say you haven’t seen being done.

  • CK

    Don’t boycott the game, watch the game and then boycott the advertisers. Let them know that you will not buy there product until those two make a public apology, and then we may think about buying there product.
    Actually if you go on the internet and search for the past games you will see some of the advertising and you can start your complaints know. Contact them know. win win situation.

    • will

      Great idea, smack ‘em where it hurts, the bank account.

  • Tonda Chastain

    I like your headline–”MLB Players Condemns Arizona Immigration Law, Threatens 2011 All-Star Game Boycott” and then quote Gallardo, Mexican native and Valverde, Dominican native; fortunately you threw in La Russo’s quote as an afterthought. Sorry, where are your American ballplayers? Let Gallardo and Valverde stay home and boycott, I hardly think they’ll be missed. If they boycott it will hurt baseball more than help. I agree with Tiimothy on this one.

  • http://aol willie

    THE GREAT AMERICAN SPORT ! Well if these clowns don’t want to play baseball , they want to play politics ! I say send them back where they came from !!! And shame on the MEDIA for giving these supporters of criminials any airtime !

    • will

      Yesssiree indeed so. Love it.

    • Ronda

      All I have to say is that they are here on a Guest Worker program. That means they have a green card because they have a skill that is needed. Well, as far as I am concerned I don’t NEED baseball any longer if they have whiners like this.

      Baseball used to be affordable for a family – now you are lucky if you can afford ONE game a year. I say they are all overpaid boobs and we need to let them (just like Congress) know who they work for. They are all easily replaced. Roberto Clemente would be ashamed of the behavior of people who milk this country and then slap the logical reasoning of the citizens for doing the right thing.

      Support Arizona by contributing to their defense fund against the feds and invest in liberty.

      • http://?? Joe H.

        I wonder how fast their tune would change if we all boycotted just all games played for one day? I wonder if they still would think they have the right to speak on American politics if they schedualed a game and only the illegals came? That oughta be good for at least 30 seats! say 20 games, American and National league for just one day. Better still one week. They would put a gag order on all of them and BEG us to come back!!!

  • Think About It

    One of the major government spending fiasco’s is building stadiums and arenas for these highly over-paid prima donnas to play in. The wealthy owners have done a number on the legal American taxpayers [with the cooperation of our elected representatives]. I quit going to ball games because of attitudes like these two have.

  • Peg

    The feds are doing nothing, so Arizona is trying to fix things…I think it’s GREAT! More States should follow Arizona’s lead!! Thank God we have players like Cardinals, Tony La Russa, If things were left to Yonani Gallardo and Jose Valverde, God help us all. If you 2 aren’t happy with the USA laws, go the hell home..we don’t need you or want you here!! As for the ball games…I will never go to or watch another game these 2 ASS-OLES play in………….GO HOME YOVANI AND JOSE!!!!! YOUR A DISGRACE TO YOUR TEAM!

    • will

      A BIG disgrace

  • Timothy

    Guess they just helped me make up my mind. I’m boycotting baseball. I’m going to stop going to games. All the money I’ll save on tickets, gas, parking, food — I’m gonna save it all up and take a trip to Arizona to support what they’re doing there. We’ll buy Arizona gas, eat in Arizona restaurants, stay in Arizona motels, visit the Grand Canyon, Tombstone, drive a few miles down old Route 66 … Hey, ya know what? I’m already NOT missing baseball. Hey, MLB: take your special “Latinos” and shove it! I’m going to Arizona!

    • jim

      Well come on. Try Show Low where I live. We got plenty of room for anybody including former fruit pickers from Mex.

      Timothy, I agree 110% These Crybabies from other countries have taken over our national pastime, and Now they want to control what we think about LAW BREAKERS ? They can take their asses back to wherever they came from and GRINGOS will Fill the Void ! We don’t have enough American Ball players as it is! I am Going To Arizona in a few months, To spend whatever little bit of vacation money I have. RIGHT ON GOV. BREWER!

  • Kris

    These over payed clowns should just play ball and keep their big mouths shut. How about we substitute illegals for all these over payed idiots! Lets see how loudly they condemn Arizona then! I say lets boycott all base ball games, no matter where they are held. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but since they have a national stage to give their opinion on, it’s not fair to the common man who can’t get on national tv or on a large platform that goes throughout the country. I have a different opinion but only those on my e-mail list can read it. The same goes for these hate America actors too. I boycott all their movies and refuse to help them make any money. Disgusting elitest! Overpayed azzholes!

    • will

      And now that you mention it, Barbara Striesand is on the top of that list.

    • Maverick

      Kris … I agree. I never payed much attention to baseball until I moved back to AZ. The Diamondbacks achieving the victory they won inspired me to start watching again. Then, they started trading and bargaining with the very players that gave them their victory. Once again, I lost interest. Now, it’s turned into a racial/law thing. I have no respect for that. If you’re legal, WHAT’S THE PROBLEM ??? EVIDENTLY, SOMEBODY HAS SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT … ???

  • Vippy

    Boycott all games sounds good to me. I am sure they are being pressured to do this or they are all Latinos or have Latino Family.
    94% are for the law in Arizona yet everyone is rambling on how bad Arizona is. Maybe their jobs are not on the line, after all those illegals only drive down the wages for the bottom rung of the wage earners, brick layers, construction workers, roofing, meat markets, etc. I am so disappointed that even Rachel Maddow is their tool or Keith Olberman. I know now that the whole media is bought.

    • Claire

      Why does it surprise anyone that the news media and talk show hosts are all biased? It has been this way for years. Depends upon what channel you want to watch. Depends upon which party a person favors. Depends on what we want to listen to. The people of America has been subjected to brainwashing for years. Is this all planned for the “great scheme of things” to come? I know many have discussed the NWO.

      • will

        Fox news seems to have the most honest and unbiased reporting.

      • http://ArizonasfundforJanBrewer Annie

        I find FOX NEWS tells it like it is. People can’t handle the truth including the president. He has not accepted an invitation to go on the show either. What I want to know is why hasn’t he gone down to AZ. to see what the situation is. SEEING IS BELIEVING. He said that SB1070 is illegal, that’s only because the people we are trying to stop are the illegals from coming in ILLEGALLY. Isn’t he one of them though? If he grants 450,000 illegals amnesty, you can bet he is counting on their votes for the 2012. Encourage your friends to get out and vote in November and get rid of all the dumbos (dems). It can’t get any worse than it is now with the representatives that are in there now. Maybe fresher ideas and solutions.

      • Bargal

        I suggest he go down for 48 hours on tour with the brave men and women of the
        Border Patrol and travel with them ont their shifts without the protection of 500 secret service personel. The Border is so safe according to Naploitano ( another loose cannon that doesn’t know her arse from a hole in the ground)that the danger level is such that 500 Secret Service shouldn’t be necessary. Of course we know the POTUSINO doesn’t have any gonads so that is out.

  • s c

    Waaaaa! Are we supposed to think major league baseball players make just a little bit over minimum wage? Gallardo and Valverde and EVERY union hooker in professional baseball needs to have their arses kicked up between their OVERPAID shoulders.
    Boycott any games you choose, you back-stabbing sidewalk stewies.
    You myopic geeokoids are so pimped-out via unions and the illegal alien agenda that you can’t see straight. If you can’t or won’t understand what’s going on and what’s at stake, move to Cuba and wow Fidel with your “integrity.”

    • http://?? Joe H.

      We should boycott all games wherever they are that these two play in from now on. I know I will. Send an E-mail to Bud and let him know about it as well!!! They have a right to their opinion and we have a right to not help them earn a living!!! Like I’m sure that valverde really picked vegitables or grapes or anything else here!!!

      • Bruce

        Joe, Just as with the music business even the movies, they are hurting now as people are not buying nor going. With sports really their sales are down for seats, go to any game the seats are empty. Why, no one has any money to spend. So just don’t watch the games on TV, don’t go to them, just flip the switch and Boycott them and in no time they will have some real problems paying these over paid ignorant fools who run after their own balls.
        As well you may wish to email your state reps and tell them in no way should any tax dollars go to funding stadiums or sports teams.

      • Robin from Arcadia, IN

        Bruce… The sports industry has priced the entertainment so high that the average person cannot afford to go. This is to pay the extremely high salaries of the players. I could care less if I ever get to another professional game of any kind. No one is worth the money these guys get. Cut them down to a realistic salary and then they will be able to fill the stadiums again by offering seating that is reasonable. As far as the foreign guys running their mouths about the Arizona law, are they themselves here illegally? Sort of sounds like it. Maybe they are afraid they good fortune is about to come to an end.

      • http://?? Joe H.

        Robin,
        What you say is very true. Instead of going to pro sports I go to highschool sports as those kids play their hearts out and don’t get a cent. Costs me 5.00 at the gate and with snacks and pop, I get by for 20.00 for the night and that’s good entertainment. A big plus is I know a few of them and I also know a few of the band as well!

      • Jana

        I agree with all of you. I am also glad they have finally quit calling these Professional Sports characters “heroes”. They are NOT heroes. They get paid a lot of money and generally are so spoiled that they feel they can do anything they want and get away with it. It is time to let them know they are no better than the rest of us. They may have a talent for hitting a ball or kicking a ball or dunking a ball, but there are other talented people out in the public too. Even those who are farmers have talents for growing crops and raising cattle. Where would these players of games be without our farmers who work hard all of their lives and are faithful to their families.
        I am for boycotting them all.

        Boycott these spoiled bastardos and see where they go from there and if any of them are not American Citizens they should prove the legality of being in the states and monitored to insure their work cards are up to date or sent back to the minors in their own country.

        So this Obama government thinks because sports have been pushed as national pastime by our TV and newspapers for so long it’s a givin’, they are wrong. I don’t like sports or the people in them, guiding them or running the shows. The seats arn’t empty because nobody has money, their empty because nobody gives a dame. Arizona, show the rest of us how to do it. This is our country, it’s not muslin. Engish is our language even though they pushed through the idea that it wasn’t. They can say what they want, it’s just talk. Government speak, double talk.

        Bruce, Jana, Bargirl, good point. “As well you may wish to email your state reps and tell them in no way should any tax dollars go to funding stadiums or sports teams.”
        Rip, your the man, “These Crybabies from other countries have taken over our national pastime, and Now they want to control what we think about LAW BREAKERS ?”
        Remove the legal ones too if they are related to the illagals or sheltering the illagals.

        The Justice Department should be going after sanctuary cities who are blatantly refusing to enforce federal law.
        Chuck B said, “we should jail all of the congress and senate for allowing this imigration of illegals into our country and continued to this day.” I couldn’t have said it better.

        Try and ask any Congress person why they are against the flat 10% tax on money made, and you will be waiting for a long time for an answer if ever you get one.

      Good words James………….and, yes it was easy. Now, that being said, it’s interesting to note that there are other States that have adopted such an immigration posture as Arizona has but they are not in the news. Only Arizona has taken the spotlight. I wonder why. Do you? Check out Missouri. They adopted similar legislation back in 1997, I believe. I think Oklahoma has similar legislation in place too. Those States are not border States though. I’m still wondering why the government has chosen to go after Arizona……hmmmmmmm still wondering! Might have something to do with fresh blood and Obama’s huge amnesty plan to round up voters from people who, like him, know nothing about our heritage and American values. In fact, all they know is what they have been living with all their lives and that is a dictatorship in every country from which they come. That would make Obama a familiar smell to most of them. Go Arizona! We’re behind you 100% Governor Brewer.

        Amen to that. I just wish they would throw their hands in the air and declare that beginning November first that it would be open season for all real Americans to hunt wetbacks and the like. Can you imagine the stampede back over the border? You look like or act like an illegal and you’d better produce documentation to prove your legal or we will turn you into something productive like fertilzer.

        Ok, now you commie bleeding hearts can whine now. There’s a place for you too. All in due time.
