In response:

Apretty: You stated that illegal immigrants contribute over a billion dollars a year to the states economy. I could not find that statistic anywhere today but I did find that illegal immigration costs the state over a billion dollars a year in our criminal justice system alone. From the time they are arrested to the day they are deported it is handled in the following way. Once arrested an immigration hold is placed, meaning that no bail or bond can be posted, they are kept in our county jail. If they are found guilty and sentenced with jail time, they must serve that time in county, state, or federal prison. Once their time is served they are then released and re-arrested by immigration officers and the deportation process is then started. This process can take up to 2 years and in some cases longer to complete.
All of their expenses are paid for by our tax dollars. The expenses are housing in the jails, food medical, dental, eye, mental health care, clothing and 97% of the time their attorney fees. 2% don’t fight deportation and 1% pay for their attorney.

SB1070 is not entirely a new bill it amends portions of already existing statutes on the books that have been there for years now. They are simply adding to these statutes. I found a web site today that will help those of you that wish to understand this bill in its entirety with what is being added and what is already a state statute. If you will click on the below web link you will see the entire bill. What is printed in back is already state statute, what is highlighted in green is the statute that is be amended; the blue is the actual SB1070 bill.
What can be contested in the courts is written in blue, the rest of the bill that is in black can not be contested. Those statutes are already law and have been contested and found to be constitutional.

So, I ask you the following question:
Where were your voices and protests when the original statutes were drafted and signed into law?

A new poll that was taken over the past few days sense the signing of this bill into law, has 70% of the people in the state for this bill and 60% polled nation wide are for or agree with this bill.

If you go back and look at the voting history of this state you will find that it is and always has been a republican state. When it comes to voting the republicans will vote, when it comes to a controversial bill the republicans COME OUT and vote in large numbers.
Our mayor of Phoenix, Phil Gordon today announced that he will file a suit in the courts that will be financed and paid for by private donations and if need be out of his own pockets. Many are already stating that if he does this, his political career here in this state will be over.

And yes I am being one sided on my posts simply because both sides of this issue needs to be put out there and not just the alarmists side. {And I use the word alarmists with a heavy heart.}

As I said before Arizona needs some kind of reform, Right now I am neither for this bill nor am I against this bill; I am standing on the line and waiting for something to make me take a stand to one side or the other.
I have friends that have been stopped by the police, and swear to racial profiling and have done so for many years now. I used to travel the I-10 south to Tucson and then back to Phoenix and did so for about 2 years on a monthly basis. I drive a F250 work van that has two seats and is sectioned off with a metal divider, the windows on the back and side doors have metal security mesh on them. I would have to say that more times than not I was pulled over by either a immigrations and border patrol officer or a state police officer and asked if they could search the back of my van and would I open the doors for them. They always stopped me for illegal positioning of a license plate. {It’s in my back window and not on the bumper.} After the first time I was stopped, I knew each time there after what was happening. Was I profiled? Yes I was. Did I mind? No I didn’t because I had nothing to hide. Did I ever receive a citation for my license plate? No I didn’t. hummmmm go figure!!

P.S. BIT: You are so right about sheriff Joe, he may just be our next governor. Boy, did you hit the nail right on the head there.
