The Justice Department sued Arizona for taking immigration enforcement into its own hands through with SB 1070, but that hasn’t seemed to deter other states from considering similar legislation. Americans for Legal Immigration political action committee, or ALIPAC, reported today that 22 states are considering Arizona-style immigration legislation, and they are taking part of the credit:
ALIPAC’s strategy to help defend Arizona from intensive attacks from the nation of Mexico and the Obama administration has been to spread the law to other states to illustrate the popularity and wisdom of the legislation.
“Our ALIPAC activists have been working hard contacting state lawmakers in every state in America asking them to stand up with Arizona,” said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. “We are very pleased to announce that 22 states are now following Arizona’s lead to pass versions of a law that has the support of 60-81% percent of Americans according to the polls.”
ALIPAC lobbies for anti-illegal immigration legislation in state and local governments. The group calls itself non-partisan, but its endorsement list is pretty one-sided: Of 102 endorsements, only five are for Democrats. (Four of the five are Blue Dogs.) They also endorsed J.D. Hayworth over Sen. John McCain in the Republican primary in Arizona — and caused him some problems when offensive anti-immigrant language appeared on their site and McCain called for Hayworth to disavow the group.
But it’s unclear what level of credit can be given to ALIPAC for the copycat immigration bills — after all, a majority of Americans support the way Arizona chose to address illegal immigration.

It is not so much that I support the Arizona Law, it is that I do not support the federal lack of following our existing laws. There is a big difference. The laws are not directed toward a specific group, they were designed to all people who come here illegally. Why do all these groups think that the American voter is a lemming? I am sorry but I don't walk of cliffs, but I am getting ready to push some others off one. We need reform, not you! So to all you non-profit groups being sponsored by Corporate America, spend your money, spin your wheels, make some marketing people rich, you will not fool the American people again. I want private farms again, I want to shop at a local store or market, I want to be able to use the internet for free, and I want my voice and vote to count. If I have to fight, I will fight. Politicians work for us, we don't work for them. I will remember that in Nov.I am hoping others do as well.

The majority of Americans must clean the wax from their ears, and realize the consequences of what is happens this side of the border? WE HAVE BEEN INVADED AND ARE THE SACRIFICAL LAMB TO THE OPEN BORDER AND SPECIAL INTEREST ZEALOTS. They are the fanatics who are deviously intent on passing immigration reform—or AMNESTY. It will kill us financially, because to process all these people–would not just be done by the government, but hundreds of thousands of devious attorney's, whose objective is to get approved every illegal alien they can? It will cost Americans Billions of dollars through supplementary taxes. The most essential adjustment we can do is start ejecting incumbents from political office. Take away the votes from Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) he and his factions are behind making Amnesty law. Speaker Nancy Pelosi must go as well, with a long line of Democrats and some Republicans.
Also add to your agenda in throwing out the pro-illegal immigrant Governors, Mayors, Judges and every elected official who is favorable to illegal immigrants. We shall count the days till November, when we can remove these people, who will otherwise lead this nation to the poor house in the future with potential overpopulation. We should all be alert this November, to who is voting in the polling places, as illegal aliens have voted before and will again in states with the “Honor System.” In states where there are giant blocks of illegal households, we must be especially careful and watch for irregularities in absentee ballot votes. Other areas to scrutinize are Sanctuary Cities such as California, where the honor system is still apparent and a state with a massive margin of legal workers and their families have illegally settled.

I live in Texas and we absolutely need to pass Arizona type legislation. Texans have had enough and will vote for any representative in our state that will have the guts to step up to the plate and do what is right for our state. We are tired of supporting this invasion of illegals in our state. I think every single incumbent is going to be voted out that does not stand completely with illegal immigration laws similiar to Arizona. Enough is enough! We want our country back.

I don't know whether Alipac is due the credit they claim or not, but
they absolutely have the best archive on the Internet about the recent history of the illegal immigration. They have nearly every story that has been printed. I was searching for a particular article I had read several years ago and my search took my to their website. It is mind-boggling to see all the horror stories about illegal immigration collected on one site.

I live is Southern California and I am fed up! I am struggling to keep my house and have a child going to college next year. Every scholarship at my daughters high school was given to children of illegals! All the parents are outraged, especially the parents that are legal immigrants, because it is so unfair. When we tried to talk to the couselorsresponsible (all hispanic) we were viewed as racist.

How is it that the Justice Department can harass and try to intimidate states who are trying to fix their illegal immigration problem? Aren't government agencies funded by taxes and controlled by the Congress, who are our elected representatives? What is going on here? Have Americans become the enemy of the Justice Department? Why is a federal agency acting independently of Congress or is it that Congress is too busy fighting to pay attention to what is happening? Why do we vote if an agency can just go it's own way independent of the law and pretend that they are enforcing the law? We have 50 states and if they all enact their own laws, similar to AZ, there are not enough people in the Justice Department to even begin to threaten them.
