Headlines today say that the majority of Arizonians favor the new anti-immigration bill. Since the governor signs every bill presented before her, special interest groups are swamping to Arizona and lobbying their favorite legislators... Of course, it could all be a ruse by Big Brother Obama and they will all be rounded up and micro-chipped. Easier than putting them in prisons since their lives are such a living hell...
