This follows this post about Arizona's immigration law and this post which shows that there are 30,000 openly illegal immigrants in the border town of El Paso across from the recent Juarez shooting.

As you are probably aware, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed SB 1070, the immigration enforcement legislation that will allow Arizona's state and local police agencies to enforce our nation's immigration laws. Specifically, this law

allows police officers to ask for proof of residency if they suspect an individual is in the country illegally,

allows illegal aliens to be jailed and fined up to $2500,

bans "soft" immigration policies at local police agencies that prevent officers from asking about a suspect's immigration status,

allows Arizonans to sue if they feel a government agency has adopted a policy that hinders the enforcement of illegal immigration laws,

prohibits people from blocking traffic when they seek or offer day-labor services on street corners,

and makes it illegal for people to transport illegal aliens if the drivers of vehicles know their passengers are in the country illegally and if the transportation furthers their illegal presence in the country.

It is important to note that this bill does not mandate the use of E-Verify because a 2007 Arizona law already mandates its use by all employers.
Because Congress refuses to deal with America's illegal immigration problem, it is likely that more and more states will follow Arizona's lead and take matters into their own hands.

Please send your state's governor a fax and let him/her know that now is the time to pass tough immigration enforcement legislation in your state, given the national interest in Arizona's crackdown
