ARIZONA SB1070.
(SHOCK) They’re doing WHAT?!
First of all, the State of California has been reviewing the immigration status of all detainees for some time now. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is continuously at the prisons retrieving illegal aliens and returning them from wenst they came. This program has been so effective the prison population has dramatically dropped to the point where they no longer have to serve meals in shifts!
Let’s take a look at this questionable proposed law. The following is the actual text of the law (find it HERE) followed with my personal interpretation (in parentheses) as a reasonable citizen of the United States of America.

Now, with this knowledge provided to you, tell me how ANY of this is illegal and/or in violation of federal laws.
What about these current “Sanctuary Cities“?
They are DEFINITELY in DIRECT violation of Federal Laws.
Why aren’t the Attorneys General filing lawsuits against these cities?!
You can agree with me or just play this off as the
