Arizona's immigration enforcement law mirrors what is already in Federal law. So why are some special interest groups in an uproar? It shouldn't be surprising. The very same people who want to throw out Arizona's new immigration law also want Congress to throw out America's immigration laws. Open borders advocates want amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants, so they find fault with any law that tries to reduce illegal immigration. Arizona has every right to protect its residents and secure the border. The message from Arizona is not to pass an amnesty bill in Washington, but to enforce immigration laws and strengthen border security.
