i don't know if that number is true, but the reactions have been swift and varied, depending on the income level, ethnic background of the person asked, and geographical area in which they live.

Brewer signed Arizona SB1070 into law, making it "a state crime for illegal immigrants to not have an alien registration document", and requiring police "to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are illegal immigrants." It also makes it illegal for people to hire illegal immigrants for day labor or to knowingly transport them. In addition, it provides provisions to allow citizens to file lawsuits against government agencies that hinder enforcement of immigration laws. The bill passed was signed into law on April 23, 2010.
here is the fall-out as it is now occurring.
MLB Players Blast Arizona Immigration Law, Urge Repeal Or Modification
The Major League Baseball Players Association waded into the debate over Arizona's controversial immigration law Thursday, issuing a statement that urges state lawmakers to repeal or modify the legislation. In its statement, MLBPA Executive Director Michael Weiner says that the law "could have a negative impact on hundreds of Major League players who are citizens of countries other than the United States."
The players union also threatened to take further action if the legislation is implemented. "If the current law goes into effect, the MLBPA will consider additional steps necessary to protect the rights and interests of our members," Weiner wrote. One possible target is the 2011 MLB All-Star Game, which is scheduled to be held in Phoenix.

arizona Ethnic Studies Classes Banned, Teachers With Accents Can No Longer Teach English
Arizona's new immigration law is just about crime, its supporters say, but given that the state's new education policy equates ethnic studies programs with high treason, they may not be using the commonly accepted definition of "crime."
Under the ban, sent to Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer by the state legislature Thursday, schools will lose state funding if they offer any courses that "promote the overthrow of the U.S. government, promote resentment of a particular race or class of people, are designed primarily for students of a particular ethnic group or advocate ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals."

While speaking at a Tama County Republican forum, GOP Primary contender Pat Bertroche made it clear that he wasn't joking when he suggested treating undocumented immigrants like pets.
"I think we should catch 'em, we should document 'em, make sure we know where they are and where they are going," said Pat Bertroche, an Urbandale physician. "I actually support microchipping them. I can microchip my dog so I can find it. Why can't I microchip an illegal?"

Cowboy Says:
I was working on a ranch helping a friend that knows/knew Krentz. He was called at 8am yesterday and told about this. The story he was told was that on Friday, Krentz helped the border patrol load up and haul off a whole lot of captured marijuana, they captured so much that they needed to use Rob’s truck to get it out. The next day hew went to check water and was last heard from at 10:30 Saturday and not found till Saturday night. The helping an illegal thing is not what I heard. The ranchers believe he was shot by smugglers. This information is first hand by the way and not speculation I overheard the phone call.
The fence is a Joke! Yesterday morning I saw at least 20 “border crossers” the new pc term hiding from the BP. It’s like watching a clown act. All you up north that think the fence does anything, stop! There needs to be REAL penalties for crossing the border and militarized to get this to stop. Or just legalize Marijuana.

hello PG
how are you?
i have been hearing so many opinions about the recent arizona immigration laws.. as you can imagine i am personally very upset, being mexican/american etc.. but what i'm very curious about is all these claims of violence in the area. since you are definitely a resident of the area that they claim is so affected i would like to ask you if this is true.. do illegals come thru your property and harass you guys and do you feel unsafe because of this?
sincerely,
rick castro

Hi Rick!
I am certainly no expert on this issue, but I can talk about my own observations. First, there is an area, on the other side of the mountain from us, near Portal - that is experiencing a lot of home invasions, robberies and drug smuggling activities. This is where the rancher was killed. I'd like to think that it is the drug smugglers and not the folks just coming to work, but it is probably a bit of both.
The crossings have been pushed into this area by the fence and it is rocky and remote. I think I would feel pretty uncomfortable out there as the police response is very slow as well.
I feel pretty safe where I am though the neighbors are always dramatizing the issue, as if all undocumented are dangerous maniacs! They cannot see clearly about this. I do think there is a lot of racism in this issue. They talk of an "invasion".
This is little difference to them between drug smugglers and undocumented workers. All are dangerous criminals.. That is the frustration for me. There is a very dangerous element that is out there and no one sees that the majority are trying to make a living and raise a family and that they have been coming here for years, with our blessing.
I have never seen any one on our property but, occasionally, the border patrol does pick someone up around here.
So, no, I do not feel unsafe, and I do not get harassed.
When are you coming for a visit!
love,
PG
