how come them folks in Arizona don't care?
ahoy mateys,
back in July, our righteous brothers and sisters in Arizona decided that 'twas time to stop dickin' around and finally build a militarized fence to keep the evil brown folks from invadin' our country.

Jan Brewer's legal-defense site for the law known as SB1070 raised money for "an intangible service -- you're paying for a lawyer," said state Sen. Steve Smith. "This, you can taste and smell what you're getting -- you're paying for a secure border."
The launch of buildtheborderfence.com was keyed to Wednesday being the date most new laws passed during the Legislature's 2011 regular session go into effect.
Smith, who sponsored the legislation authorizing the fence project, said Tuesday that his initial goal is $50 million.
"It's not my end goal. If we can raise $50 million, we're off to a fabulous start," the first-term Republican said.
well...'tis almost september, and thus far they've raised...
$1.5 million.
thats not very good, aye...and thats considerin' that this puny amount be all they've raised after launchin' thar effort to much fanfare and press.
why don't folks in Arizona care about keepin' our nation safe from the brown scourge that be invadin' our nation?

Thats enough to build a fence, if they use illegal aliens to do the work, and only make it 2 feet high...Originally Posted by MeadHallPirate

Well, having the federal government undermining your authority does not help. Additionally, the economy is not exactly conducive to raising money. I think most people did not expect our flat-line recession to take another nose dive.

Maybe because we first have a lawsuit to win first. Building a fence prior to winning the court case would be foolish.

ahoy Fishjoel,
'tis probably because the #1 employer in the entire state, Walmart, likes to hire them illegal immigrants. 'tis hard to really drum up support fer policy that's anti-business in nature.
how about the #2 employer in Arizona, then, which be Banner Health? well....
Read more: http://www.azcentral.com/news/electi...#ixzz1WfwHmrkgLeaders testified against the bills during committee hearings, and a group of 60 business leaders that included US Airways, PetSmart and Banner Health sent lawmakers a letter asking them to oppose the new measures because of the impact SB 1070 had on their businesses and the state's economy.
i figure them contributions fer this fence are goin' to be hard to come up with, since they be job killin', anti business kinda laws.

It's like that Texas law that makes it a crime to hire an illegal alien, unless you need something done for cheap....

Probably not the best idea to criticize a law with someone when they happened to support that law in the first place Goober:
