The state has hung the "not welcome" sign out for illegal immigrants. The message from the state to illegal immigrants--it will be illegal for any city to offer you sanctuary. You will not be able to get any state or local public benefits. Employers cannot knowingly hire you--and if they do they could lose their business permits and licenses. You cannot get a driver's license. If you are arrested, you will have trouble getting released on bail. And those are just the highlights of one of the major bills of this legislative session, which ended last night. Senate leader Michael Gibbons says illegal immigration is a concern throughout the state, and not just among politicians. He says it's a state issue because Congress has missed plenty of opportunities to deal with it.

It would be nice if Colorado actually enforced some of the "tough" laws that were passed a couple years ago. If anything, I see more illegals here now than there were before the laws were passed. But I guess that won't change until they crack down on Denver and the other sanctuary cities in the state.

I applaud the legislators of these states...their constituents have spoken, and it's obvious that they have listened!

Please help Sheriff Sheriff accepting donations to fight illegal immigration May 16th, 2008 @ 2:35pm by JW Cox, KTAR Web
There sheriff made news when he set up an illegal immigration hotline. Now he's set up another one to help fund his efforts to fight it.
Earlier this week, the governor cut money more than $1 million from the sheriff's budget to fund a statewide task force to hunt fugitives.
Arpaio said residents and people from out of state called to donate their own money to fund his fight against illegal immigration. "We're receiving emails and calls from people that just were angry and just wanted to know how they can help."
He said donations can be made out to MCSO Donation Fund and must be earmarked for illegal immigration.
Checks should be mailed to 100 West Washington, Ste. 1900, Phoenix, Ariz., 85003
KTAR-FM host Larry Gaydos hosted a radio-thon "Pennies for the Posse" on Wednesday night to raise money for the sheriff's effort to fight illegal immigration. Joe with your donations,
