Tucson, Arizona tragedy

Two 12 year old boys in our community were playing with a gun belonging to the father of one of them, not knowing it was loaded, and it went off, killing one of them two days before Christmas. His funeral is tomorrow. I don't know either of the families, and yet I feel the loss in the community, in the air of sorrow that's settled over the city. I am overwhelmed by the senselessness of it all! This poor child will have to live the rest of his life knowing he killed h ...

Florida truck driver James Matthew Bradley isn't the mastermind of the human smuggling ring that led to the grisly deaths of 10 illegal immigrants in his rig, which authorities found at a San Antonio Walmart over the weekend. He's just a cog in the machine. Bradley may now face the death penalty for transporting up to 100 people crammed in the trailer of his 18-wheeler. But what about the open-borders overlords making a real killing off this insatiable racket? I'm looking ...

WOW! Telling it like it is. I haven't checked this out - just sending it on. I'm Arizona State Senator Sylvia Allen. I want to explain SB 1070 which I voted for and was just signed by Governor Jan Brewer.Rancher Rob Krantz was murdered by the drug cartel on his ranch a month ago. I participated in a senate hearing two weeks ago on the border violence, here is just some of the highlights from those who testified.The people who live within 60 to 80 miles of t ...

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer launched a double-barrage back Thursday at President Obama's Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Mexican President Felipe Calderon, who took the occasion of his state visit to Washington to twice criticize the law of an American state. “I think that’s really unfortunate," Brewer told Greta Van Susteren on the Fox News Channel. "I don’t believe he understands what the law actually says and I don’t mean that derogatory. The fact of ...

Sitting here this a.m. thinking about the 19 lives lost and 1 spared. I pray for the families that lost fathers, husbands, sons, brothers, and possibly sisters, wives, daughters. Such a tragic loss. I cannot begin to experience what these families are going through. May God bless them and help them get through this difficult time. I went through a devastating house fire over 2 years ago where everything I owned was lost. I am so thankful that my fiance and cat an ...

Between Huckabee's remarks and this, looks like the GOP and Priebus have an uphill battle if their goal is softening their message to appeal to all Americans. Looks like the extremist right wing is having no part of it. ...

Trespassing law may turn more illegal immigrants into citizens By Jim Small - jim.small@azcapitoltimes.com Published: May 17, 2010 at 7:02 am Arizona’s new immigration law may have been aimed at deporting as many illegal immigrants as possible, but an ironic side effect will allow more undocumented residents to apply for temporary work visas and permanent U.S. citizenship, according to research b ...

Not to make too much of it now, as you can see from below, but Obama COULD win Arizona now and what about the future? Over half of our Hispanics are strongly conservative. Will GOP leaders finally bite the bitter bullet and start embracing "those" and their growing demographic if they want to keep winning elections in future? And how much of its base will that cost them? (In any case, I predict a new admiration for Mexican tile backslashes...some day. :) For now, we've already seen ...

"I don't really believe that this law is going to do what the vast majority of Americans and Arizonans want, and that is to fix the immigration problem," he said.

"Three Republican senators who voted for Senate Bill 1062 said Monday they made a bad decision in a rushed process and are now asking Gov.

Let's all get us a submachine gun and start firing! Seems to be the thing to do these days. Arizona Republican congressional candidate Pamela Gorman shoots four separate firearms, including an automatic rifle, in her latest ad. The ad splices together glamour shots of Gorman, a state senator, with her firing off rounds in the Arizona desert. “This year a lot of folks think this is our best shot at changing Congress,” the narrator of the ad says. “Course that ...

The truth comes out. Apparently, what amounts to a "white supremacy" group is behind Arizona's new anti-immigration law. I guess that answers the question once and for all whether the law is racist! http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2010/04/28/hate-group-lawyer-drafted-arizona-anti-immigrant-law/ ...

He's been at the center of the discussions and controversies surrounding illegal immigration enforcement in Arizona for quite a while. On the day parts of Arizona's immigration law, SB 1070, went into effect, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is in the news for another reason: there's a price on his head - allegedly offered by a Mexican drug cartel. The audio message in Spanish is a bit garbled, but the text is clear. It's offering $1 million for Sheriff Joe Arpai ...
