In Arizona, illegal alien population is down over twice what it is on the national average, and that's because here in Arizona, we're enforcing the law.

The 14th Amendment was written in 1866, ratified in 1868, belonged to one group of people only, African-Americans, to give them their rightful place at the table that they were being denied after that war.

The deterrence factor this legislation brought about was clearly instrumental in our unprecedented drop in crime.

Just the opposite, Mr. Chairman. Again, under federal law, you know--under the U.S. Constitution and the Arizona Constitution, we have the Equal Protection Clause.
