Seems like the actual title should be, "Judge may or may not block" this law. But that wouldn't stir up enough controversy, I guess.

What is legal about illegals trying to change our laws? Do it the right way, but don't keep sneaking across the border stealing our jobs, using up taxpayers funds, overcrowding our schools, getting free or low cost housing and health benefits and day cae. We are tired of all this. Get it right and you are welcome here. Many are criminals. Waht is right about all this? There is no right way to do a wrong thing. You are hurting the citizens of America.

When you can't win at the ballot box go for the courts. We seem to be changing this country from a democratic republic to an oligarchy, which isn't government by the people, but rule by the elite few.

Why are "Latino groups" (presumably American citizens) advocating for illegal immigrants? Is it because they want more Latino's in the U.S.? So then, as an Anglo, should I start advocating for more Anglo's to immigrate with or without papers? I think we have enough of Mexico's poor citizens. Maybe we should provide the same opportunities to others in the world, who are arguably more deserving (because of political or religious intolerance) than those who can just hop a fence for better economic opportunities.

I'm dismayed by Americans trying to undermind our
country by behaving in an un-American manner. Latinos born here are Americans. Why are they showing alligiance and loyalty to illegal actions
against their own country by supporting and attempting to ligitimize felonious behavior?

where's justice? | 1:43 p.m. Nov. 1, 2007
Just another example of the judiciary�s assault on justice. I hope the �open-borders� censures running the paper let this comment through this time, I have toned it down a little.

Face it, illegals are here whether you like it or not,deporting them all is absolutely irrational. we must work on productively incorporating them into our society.

If Americans continue to vote on things that are later overturned by the courts, people will see an uprising in this country.

Our government must remember that the people are governed by the people's consent and not by force of government.

please post my response | 7:57 a.m. Nov. 2, 2007
I know Joe Cannon is pro-open borders, so this post will probably not make it past your censures, but this is not abusive, offensive, off-topic, or misrepresentative, so please don't squash it like you have before. It is only contrary to Joe's opinion. Jose, most illegals don't want to be incorporated into our society. They want to live in their own little societal bubbles while they work here, often being paid under the table so neither they nor their employers pay taxes (granted, some do pay taxes). They then ship their money south of the border. They don't learn English. Some of them seem bent on reclaiming Califonia and all the southwest back for Mexico. If they wanted to be incorporated into our society, they would obey the laws, particularly the ones covering how you get here in the first place.

I agree with Jon. All these Latino groups are doing is making it acceptable in America for people to put their race or ethnicity first, their identity as an American second. Given the diversity of this country, such a mentality is a recipe for disaster if should gain any traction with the majority.

No. Utah sees a major earthquake every 350 years. Last one? 350 years ago.
