Arizona's anti-imigration law...

[Babagounj]

• New Mexico issued 10,257 licenses to immigrants through June, compared with 13,481 for all of 2009. The figures include illegal immigrants and legal residents from outside the U.S.
• New Mexico issued about 417 licenses a week to immigrants from the day after Arizona passed its law through July 1. That is a big jump from the 323 a week it was issuing from Jan. 1 to the day before the law passed.
• Utah handed out 41,000 illegal-immigrant licenses for 2010 through June 7, compared with 43,429 for all of 2008.
• Washington granted 3,200 licenses to people from outside the U.S. through June, exceeding the pace of 5,992 for all of 2009.
Denver Post
Three states — Washington, New Mexico and Utah — allow illegal immigrants to get licenses because their laws do not require proof of citizenship or legal residency. An Associated Press analysis found that those states have seen a surge in immigrants seeking IDs in recent months, a trend experts attribute to crackdowns on illegal immigration in Arizona and elsewhere.

Maybe they'll all move to S.L.C. and let the Mormons take care of them.

Small Town Steps in because Feds Are “Failing on Immigration”
Summerville, South Carolina, has just tentatively passed an ordinance that bans illegal immigrants from working and living there.
Walter Bailey, the town council member who proposed the ordinance, a former state prosecutor, says Summerville is ready for that and can’t see why this ordinance is getting so much attention. “I am trying to figure out why it is controversial. At some point in our society, taking a strong stance against criminal behavior became controversial and it shouldn’t be but we’re prepared to do what we have to do to enforce it and if we have to, we will handle it when the time comes.”

I don't know that I'd call it "the middle of nowhere". It looks like a suburb of Charleston. But it wouldn't surprise if this is more about scoring points than it is about addressing an actual problem.

Fish and Wildlife Service Allows Water Stations for Illegal Immigrants on Public Land

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) has decided to issue permits to humanitarian groups seeking to establish water stations on the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge in southern Arizona so that illegal immigrants crossing the border don’t die of dehydration.
While anti-immigration groups argue the move could be construed as encouraging more illegal immigrants to sneak into the U.S., the FWS disagrees.

Mobile Mexican Consulate rolls into town to help immigrants
SHALLOTTE, NC
Carlos Flores Vizcarra, Consul General of Mexico, said. “They will not be accepted for applying for benefits here in the US, nor will they serve the purpose of, let’s say, registering someone as an elector in the state of North Carolina. That is a misleading rumor that someone has put out.”
The Mexican Consulate has assembled a mobile team tasked with going to cities across America to increase the accessibility of their services for the growing Hispanic community. The mobile consulate also saves these Hispanics valuable time, as they won’t have to travel to Raleigh to obtain a passport or matricula card. The mobile consulate says that this is a good opportunity for Mexicans looking to live a better life in the United States.

North Carolina’s Illegal Immigration Law

J. D. Longstreet
US – DOJ Goes After Arizona – But Not NC. Why? – Here in North Carolina, if you are arrested, charged, and incarcerated for impaired driving, or any felony, you will be asked to prove you are a citizen of the United States. If you cannot, ICE (or Homeland Security) will be contacted and queried concerning your case. That’s the law in the Tar Heel state. It has been for some time now.

51 people killed in Juárez over weekend

By Daniel Borunda
The rampant bloodshed continued today in Juárez with nine homicides by this afternoon, Chihuahua state police said.
Fifty-one people were slain during the weekend from Friday to Sunday, including 24 on Sunday, making Sunday one of the deadliest days of the year, a police spokesman said. Victims included two members of the state Cipol police killed Friday when their patrol truck was fired upon.
Authorities said investigators were still trying to identify many of the victims and that were was a backlog of cases.
Government and federal law enforcement officials will be meeting in Mexico City to come up with strategies to diminish the number of killings.
Juárez is known as the murder capital of Mexico and one of the most dangerous cities in the world.
More than 6,000 people have been murdered in the Juárez area since the start of a war between the Sinaloa and Juárez drug cartels.

ICE Union Revolts Against Obama Sanctuary City Policies

Recently the Obama Administration hired former Houston police chief Harold Hurtt to coordinate state and local activities for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). As The Heritage Foundation pointed out at the time, Hurtt seemed like an odd choice to head up an important position with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Hurtt is, after all, a well-documented supporter of “sanctuary city polices,” which puts him at odds, at least philosophically, with the agency’s mission.
Seems like we’re not the only ones who noticed that the Obama Administration and the heads of ICE don’t seem particularly concerned about curbing illegal immigration and enforcing the rule of law.

Thousands Rally At Border Fence In Arizona For Border Security [Update, Video]
By Digger
With no incentive other than to demand that the borders be secured, thousands of patriotic Americans swarmed to a border fence in Hereford, AZ for a rally on August 15. Glenn Spencer of American Patrol is reporting that the number came close to 2,000 attendees for a rally that included Sheriff Joe Arpaio, State Senator Russell Pearce and JD Hayworth. This part of the border fence was 3 hours from Phoenix out in the middle of nowhere and people showing up there to rally is a testament to the passion, anger and disgust that the American people have with their government ignoring their security.

Obama Orders ICE to Ignore US Immigration Law

The Homeland Security agency responsible for protecting the border and deporting unauthorized foreigners (Immigration and Customs Enforcement or ICE) has halted the removal of illegal immigrants who are students, according to a Washington, DC-based legal group.
The move, which will spare some 700,000 illegal aliens, is a response to nationwide rallies and demonstrations by defiant illegal immigrants protesting their eminent removal or that of their illegal parents, according to officials at Judicial Watch.
