[QUOTE="Lue C Fur, post: 732475, member: 25159"] [COLOR=blue]It just took one person to step up and do the right thing and now others are following Jan Brewers lead. Hey Obama...are ya listening or are you to busy kissing the Mexican presidents arse...and China's.[/COLOR] While Arizona faces the scorn of the White House and local governments across the country for its immigration law, lawmakers in several states are looking to follow the Grand Canyon State's lead. Lawmakers and politicians in Texas, Rhode Island, Utah and Georgia are among those who, in the month since Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed the law, have announced plans to introduce similar legislation. The officials say states need to take matters into their own hands to tackle illegal immigration and in turn reduce the taxpayer cost associated with large undocumented populations in their hospitals, schools and prisons. They draw inspiration directly from the Arizona law, bucking the trend of local and state officials who have protested Arizona and called for boycotts against the state. [COLOR=red]Rhode Island state Rep. Peter Palumbo has filed a bill that looks nearly identical to Arizona's.[/COLOR] Palumbo, a Democrat, [COLOR=blue](wow!!! A democrat that actully has balls!!!)[/COLOR] told Fox News that Arizona residents were "merely trying to protect themselves" and that the Rhode Island bill could help the state save millions every year. "You don't need to be a ... border state to have problems with illegals," he said, estimating the number of undocumented residents in Rhode Island at 40,000. Palumbo acknowledged that his state might not be as receptive as Arizona to such a bill. He said he's got about a half-dozen co-sponsors but hopes media coverage can build support. "It's difficult. We have a lot of progressives in Rhode Island," he said. [COLOR=red]Utah Rep.
