Arizona is moving in the right direction on illegal immigration

Legislators in Arizona are working on a bill which would make it a crime for illegal aliens to be present in the state. It would also make it a crime to transport or employ an illegal alien. Similar bills have passed the legislature before, but were vetoed by former Governor Janet Napolitano, who obviously has an affinity for those who disregard our laws.

This is exactly the type of law more states should enact. Bleeding heart liberals who look at the United States as the world’s homeless shelter seem to ignore the convenient fact that illegal aliens are breaking federal laws and trespassing. In the words of Sen. Russell Pearce:

“When you come to America you must have a permission slip, period,” said state Sen. Russell Pearce, the Mesa Republican who sponsored the bill. “You can’t break into my country, just like you can’t break into my house.”

Well said Senator.
