Perhaps, as it was passed by a referendum and not in some back room, the law was a popular reaction to ineffective federal enforcement of the federal law which this "ridiculous" State law mirrors. Further, b/c the prisons in question currently are used to house federal detainees being held for illegal immigration, wouldn't her "cronies" profit equally if the Feds actually enforced the existing laws? Just b/c a media outlet saw a possible connection does not create an actual connection. Was there a failure to disclose the lobbying connections on the individuals mandatory disclosure forms? Has anyone even looked at these forms? Show me the evidence of fraud. Where has someone lied about their possible profit?

Do you understand why the State law is unconstitional? Or are you now going to look that up?

First off I started by saying there was an investigation and allegations of corruption. The circumstancial connection between the interested parties is very compelling IMO.

Secondly, Illegal Search and Seizure and Racial Profiling isn't rocket science. It's just illegal.

Thirdly, these are alleged criminal activities. If that is actually the case I expect these people are covering their tracks as best they can and would hope that a qualified investigative agency like THE FBI for example would look into it. They have the resources to properly investigate the allegations. I obviously do not.

Lastly do you have any idea who wrote the Arizona Law? If you want I will provide twenty articles about the architects of SB-1070 and what the (IRLI) which is the legal arm of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is fighting for in States across the country.

The immigration issue needs to be addressed. I agree.

Gotta keep it legal though.
