Let me get this straight. We are asked to support a law that tells people who have no respect for the law and have already and continue to break it that if they obey this law then we will essentially forgive and forget about breaking the law! Wow really! sounds like a bunch of smoke bein blown where the sun don't shine! We don't need new immigration laws, and the system isn't broke! It's NOT ENFORCED ! Why? because pimp politicians that care more about their pay checks and powerbase block enforcement of those laws for the sake of the hispanic vote! What we aught to do is revoke their citizenship and deport them with their illegal constituency! I know they would be singing a different tune then. Arizona is doing what is best for Arizona! The feds should be doing what is best for AMERICA, and not be worryin about Senior Calderon, and his ILLEGALLY MIGRATING, wining, law breaking,disrespectful,individuals that flood across the southern border and have the nerve to call themselves and I quote"friends and neighbors"! Let me tell ya what I expect if they want my vote, close the border and restore law and order! Enforce the laws of this country. And as for our "friends and neighbors to the south" obey the laws of this counttry and show due respect and then maybe we can talk about you taking up permanent residence here. Ok, I'm done.

I know some guys who tested and scored high on the FF tests, they never got recruited, talk about your good ol boy network, now we find out these guys have been getting rich on taxpayer money, and yet we are laying off teachers, nurses, not hiring new police officers, cutting programs in our schools, the kids have no books, on and on and on the list goes! Then when all the other county andd state entities had hiring freezes, cost of living pay cuts, lay offs etc. the firefighters refused to negotiate or compromise, or make any concessions. Hmmm lets see, protection if the price is right? if they were armed they would be called mercenaries. I say consolidate them all, eliminate all the overpaid ff fatcats, get rid of the big salaries< i know there are lots of qualified able bodied people to fill the slots of those that cant afford to work for such a small salary!

Fat cat casino exec cronies want you to believe it will hurt the gaming industry if they have to pay more taxes, they make billions in these casinos and pay their workers chicken feed,, the only people that make decent pay are the trade union employees, culinary is starting to catch up but the non union workers get the shaft, especially the security departments, if they wont pay decent wages (and they dont) and the health insurance isnt up to par (and it isn't) then they should have to make up for their greed somewhere, I agree with the accountability issue, but these casino execs have a history of intimidation and misinformation to keep the big bonuses and revenues coming in, if they were really interested in helping their workers, pay them a decent wage and give them the same insurance they give the union members,then they might find a sympathetic ear,I worked in the industry for over 20 years and part of that was at the MGM, let's just say I am better off out of the industry and I sure don't miss the MGM, in spite of all the PR hype there are a lot of unhappy people in that company, in the mean time the big boys keep pulling in those big bucks,this is of course all in my humble opinion and I think the big guys letter said I am still entitled to that,(can casino execs issue gag orders? hmmm, I wonder.).oh well that's all for me, watch out for the talking heads and always take notice, where the money goes the truth usually doesn't.
