82 yrs old woman and other defend themselves with hand guns in Arizona

82year old woman defends herself with a gun while being beaten with her own cane.



A man allegedly burglarized a vending machine and fled from police in his vehicle. The suspect cracked his axle but continued to drive away. He stashed the car near an elementary school, which was placed on lockdown as police scoured the area. “As they were searching the area, they heard a pop,” said Phoenix Police Sgt. Tommy Thompson. The sound they heard was the report of a nearby homeowner’s shotgun. The suspect entered the home and demanded money and car keys. In fear of his life, the homeowner fired his shotgun, killing the suspect. (The Arizona Republic, Phoenix, AZ, 01/27/10)

The incessant ringing of her doorbell woke a woman from her sleep. She looked through the front door peephole and saw someone in a hooded sweatshirt outside continuing to ring the bell. Police say the woman ran to the bedroom, got her handgun and dialed 9-1-1. As she returned to the front door, a second hooded suspect emerged, sprinted to the door and kicked it. His foot busted a hole in the door, knocking down the woman. She looked through the hole and saw the suspect preparing to run and kick the door again, so she stuck the barrel of her handgun out of the hole and fired two shots. The suspects fled the scene and are being sought by police. (KNXV-TV, Phoenix, AZ, 02/11/10)

A man wasn’t home when an alarm indicated a possible break-in. He quickly called his neighbor, Gaylon Crawford, and asked him to check on the house. The neighbor noticed a door was forced open and the lights were on. Once inside he found two men wearing dark clothing. Police said the men claimed they were retrieving their tools, but Crawford didn’t buy it. He drew his handgun and told the men to put their hands up and wait for police. Instead, one of the men charged Crawford, who shot him. The suspects fled. The wounded man was arrested when he sought treatment for a gunshot wound at the hospital. His accomplice is still at large.

More proof of the true intentions of protestors against border security.

These people are not illegal aliens, they are American Citizens who want to take back land they believe was stolen from Mexico.

I still can not figure out why anyone would want more land for Mexico when the land Mexico runs is so horrible.




Scared yet?

Brown Berets

These guys have been showing up at the protests and intimidating people with their military appearance. Research and their own worlds make it apparent that they are recruiting soldiers and their website states that they are military organization.

I have said it before on this blog that there are Chicanos (this appears to be their preferred moniker) that wish to take back their ancestors land that was taken from them by the great white devil (aka Europeans).

They do not plan to do this, openly, by armed conflict. They plan do this by politics and using our laws against us. By us I am referring to Americans. Americans, as they are referred to today, may have started off as Europeans, but our culture is so much more vast than any one European nation and it has taken the best of every nationality, from all continents, that has joined the Great Mixing Pot.

There is no denying that our past leaders did some shady things to the people who inhabited this land. Unfortunately, I do not know how to make it up to them and to be honest it could have been a lot worse. Harsh words but just look at the history of the human race. We are not a gentle and kind people. You often hear from people that killing is not a natural human trait and to those people I have to ask, what history have you been reading? The only true statement is that the human race has made great attempts to keep at bay it's desire to kill, concur, and dominate.

As usual I have gone off topic. This post is to inform you that there is a threat to the American, all Americans, way of life.

I first learned about it while reading Darrell Ankarlo's book, "Another Mans Sombrero". This book changed my opinion on the illegal immigration issue. I used to think, "yeah they are breaking the law but they are hard ass workers doing what no one else will". I still believe there are hard working illegal immigrants whose only fault is crossing our border illegally. But the way they come here is an abomination and the crimes committed against them can only be stopped by opening the border 100% or locking it down while creating a temporary work system.

Mr. Ankarlo's book also addresses why he thinks (opinion, based on facts) Bush did nothing on the border and about the plot to take back American land by driving up Chicano population, affecting politics, and turning the Southwest into Northern Mexico. Conspiracy theory? I can only hope!!! But the information is out there and it supports his theories.

Below is just the latest group to come to my attention. I will post more as I continue my research.

Just look at the links below to see for yourself. Remember that LA means THE and RAZA means RACE, you will see it a lot. To be fair I have found an explanation on a website that says the literal translation is THE RACE but it  means “the people” or “the community.” Regardless, when you see it and how it is used you will know what it is portraying.

Our Nation: Aztlan



All this land belongs to Natives. By “native” we don’t mean “native born” whites, blacks, or Asians, we mean the Native People who inhabited this land for thousands of years before any other human set foot on this continent or hemisphere. Chicanos lay a claim to this land in the undisputable fact that Native blood runs through our veins. Our ancestors are Mexica, Maya, Tolteca, Yaqui, Navajo, Lakota; thousands of Native tribes that were hunted, destroyed and pushed to the edge of extinction by European invaders; Spaniards and Portugese in the South, British and French in the north. We emerge now as a new breed, a mixture of all Native Nations and tribes. Out of many we are One, we are the Chicano Nation! With this we claim our Birthright, Aztlan is our Inheritance.


This Border that was placed here by American invaders was another idea of theirs to hedge us in, to divide and conquer us. We do not recognize or respect any foreign imposed border. We do not respect anyone who invades and yet dares calls its Natives “illegal”. Aztlan is our homeland, where we belong. We will reclaim it according to the ancient prophecies, and we will from henceforth determine our destiny.


The real illegal immigrants on this continent are the white Europeans that crossed an entire ocean, not Mexicans. Mexicans are descendants of the Mexica and other native tribes. We are not Hispanic, which means we come from Spain; neither are we Latino, which means we come from Italy. The amount of contamination of European blood on our people is a drop in the bucket compared to the hundreds of millions of Natives that inhabited this hemisphere. The majority of us are predominantly Native and it is that blood that ties us to and cries out for our land! By them calling us Hispanic or Latino they try to tear us away from our identity and our land. Therefore we reclaim our identity as Chicanos and reclaim our nation Aztlan.


Though we live in occupied territory we carry a dual citizenship. One is of the foreign invaders that occupy our lands and enslave our people. The second is our Citizenship in the Nation of Aztlan, our true nation. Aztlan is a nation that is truly free, no oppression, no predatory capitalism that enslaves the population. We are a nation that is created by Raza, for all our Raza. We accept those of other races to dwell with us in peace, to seek happiness and the well being of their families. We are a nation that values our families, our faith, and our unflinching call to honor and dignity. We believe in the full restoration of all tribal lands to the Native Nations that dwell within our borders. We believe in freedom, justice, truth and the Chicano Way of Life. Somos Aztlan!!

VIVA LOS SUNS but Jackson takes away a win in my book

I have copied and pasted an article so that I can highlight the highlights.

Jackson comments on Ariz. law trigger protest
by Associated Press (May 17th, 2010 @ 3:47pm)

LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson refused to criticize Arizona's new immigration law, triggering a backlash among activists who plan a protest outside Staples Center on Monday night.

Jackson was asked two weeks ago about a plan by the Phoenix Suns to wear their Los Suns jerseys during a playoff game on May 5, Cinco de Mayo. The immigration law spurred the Suns' decision to use the jerseys to honor Arizona's Latino community.

``Am I crazy, or am I the only one that heard when the legislators said that 'we just took United States immigration law and adapted it to our state?''' Jackson responded.

When the reporter suggested that Arizona had usurped federal law, Jackson corrected him. ``It's not usurping, they just copied it, is what they said they did, the legislators. Then they give it some teeth to be able to enforce it.''

The biggest questions about the law center on how it could be enforced without leading to racial profiling of Hispanics and without alienating residents in Hispanic neighborhoods with whom police have spent years trying to build trust.

The law, which is scheduled to take effect July 29, has triggered protests and prompted several cities to boycott Arizona businesses. Los Angeles is the largest of those cities.

``I have respect for those who oppose the new Arizona immigration law, but I am wary of putting entire sports organizations in the middle of political controversies,'' Jackson said in a statement issued Monday.

He said he hoped his statement would not be used by either side to rally activists.

Activists want the Lakers to put on the Los Lakers jerseys they wore for a game on March 21 and in years past to honor Hispanic fans. Lakers spokesman John Black said those jerseys will not be worn during the playoffs.

``We will not be getting involved in choosing sides among our many different support groups in any debate, nor will we be getting involved in political issues of this nature,'' Black said.

``Our focus and goal at this time is on basketball, winning games, and hopefully winning another championship, which we feel the vast majority of our fans want us to focus on,'' he added. -sorry but it is the Phoenix Suns' Year!!!

Glenn Beck on SB1070

Homework assignment

I was talking with a guy I work with who is Filipino. He is American with no accent but does have brown skin and looks more Hispanic than Pacific Islander or Asian.


I asked him if he was concerned about SB1070. He said, “I guess I could be [harassed].”

What I got out of the conversation was that he only new what he had heard through the media or through people talking about it around him. He then asked me some questions about the bill that I thought were great and I think I cleared some things up.

His final question was, “what are people upset about then?”


I had no answer as I did not want to get into my conspiracy theories with a coworker.

So here is the home work assignment.

• Talk to your friends who either are Hispanic or look Hispanic.

• Ask them what they feel about the law.

• Ask them what they know about the law.

• You do not have to try and convert them; just find out what they think and what they have been told. Are they different?

• Are they self educated about the bill or are they simply spewing out what is being presented in the media.

• I am especially interesting in hearing from people who look Hispanic and have accents. If anyone was going to be profiled it would be them.

• Ask them if they are comforted in the fact that they only need to show a drivers license to prove they are a citizen.

• Ask them what they would do differently.
Extra Credit:


• Give someone the information needed to change their view on the subject.

• Find someone who will admit it’s not about profiling and more about taking back the land for Mexico.

TESTIMONY OF DAVID J. STODDARD ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION - February 22, 2002

I verified this on snopes.com  http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/borderpatrol.asp. Snopes was on it because of an email that David Stoddard sent to Senator Frist that was passed around the internet. Snopes confirmed the email and added the testimony below.

Mr. Stoddard sees this thing as it is and that is an invasion. I can not agree with him more!!!



TESTIMONY OF DAVID J. STODDARD, SUBMITTED TO U.S. SUBCOMMITTEE ON CRIMINAL JUSTICE, DRUG POLICY AND HUMAN RESOURCES, REPRESENTATIVE MARK SOUDER, CHAIRMAN.

February 22, 2002


Sirs:

My name is David J. Stoddard; I am a resident of Cochise County, Arizona. I served my country for 30 years, first as a soldier in the U.S. Army and then as U.S. Border Patrol Agent for 27 years.


I have no personal interest in illegal immigration or in U.S. drug policy except as a patriotic citizen of the United States. I am not being paid or influenced by any entity whatsoever for my testimony submitted to you this day.


There has been a great deal of debate recently over needed changes in U.S. Immigration Law. The United States has the most liberal immigration policies in the entire world. Our laws are designed to protect the American public from criminals, subversives, terrorists, disease, the insane and from those who are likely to become public charges. There are no U.S. laws designed specifically to exclude any deserving person from legally immigrating to the United States. Any person may legally immigrate unless he or she falls within an excludable class. This is for the public good. If existing laws were enforced as intended, there would be no need for new laws.

Currently the United States admits more people as immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers than all the other countries in the world combined. Right now one-fifth of the U.S. population is a foreign born or dependant child of foreign born residents. Since the 2000 Census, the population of the United States has increased by 3 million people according to the U.S. Census Bureau.


According to various Mexican media and official Mexican government sources, the country of Mexico has 18 million of its citizens residing illegally in the United States at this very minute. Mexico claims to have 30 million persons of Mexican decent in the United States. I have no reason not to believe these claims.


According to official U.S. I. & N.S. estimates, Mexicans comprise only 54% of the total number of illegal aliens within the United States. Again, I have no reason to dispute these figures. I hope this gives you some kind of perspective as to the great influence illegal immigration has upon our society.


Since I have lived and worked on the Mexican border all of my life, I am most familiar with the problems presented by illegal Mexican immigration and I would like to focus on that aspect.


-According to former Chief of Police, Ruben Ortega, 80% of the street level drug dealers in Salt Lake City, Utah are illegal Mexican Aliens. I believe we can extrapolate that percentage to any major city in the Southwest.


-According to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, 24% of those incarcerated in the United States are foreign born, most of them Mexicans.

-According to the California State authorities, that state must build the equivalent of one grammar school a day in order to accommodate the population growth of school aged children, again, largely due to illegal immigrants, most of whom are illegal Mexicans.


I submit to you that Mexico has instituted policies which encourage its citizens to sneak into the United States.

For example:

-Mexico has discontinued the government subsidies for propane, diesel, tortillas, beans, electricity, housing, bread and commodities for poor people.


-Mexico has opened additional consulates in practically every state in the union in order to assist its citizens obtain U.S. benefits, "rights" and to assure legal help in the instances of "discrimination" in employment, law enforcement and in any other legal matter.

-Lawyers retained at the behest of Mexican officials quickly take civil action against any U.S. citizen who chooses to protect himself or his property against illegal Mexicans. This is designed to deter any interference by U.S. residents in the free flow of aliens and drugs across our borders.


-Mexican school children, from the primary grades, are taught that the United States "stole" (from Mexico) the land now called California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado and Utah. Furthermore, these children are taught that were it not for the United States "stealing" California and the gold therein, that Mexico would be a superpower today. I have heard that with my own ears. That is no exaggeration.


-The President of Mexico actively encourages its citizens to illegally emigrate to the U.S. and in fact frequently refers to those who do so as "heroes".

-I can give you the names of eight high-level Mexican politicians who have left office in the last decade with a minimum of $700 million each. These ill-gotten funds could have been used for the good of the Mexican people.

Based on the above facts, I see no reason for any change in U.S. immigration laws. But I see a great need for change in the way Mexico imposes upon the United States. The American people are expected to provide free medical care, housing, education, food and other basic needs to illegal Mexican aliens. These are all services that should be provided to our own elderly, handicapped and poor.

I do see a need to alter the way in which the United States administers its immigration laws however.

Currently the same administrator dictates enforcement and services. Under Doris Meissner, the INS became a service-oriented organization because Ms. Meissner considered all aliens, legal and illegal as her "clients". Enforcement under the U.S. Border Patrol became non-existent except for a narrow corridor along the border. This encouraged illegal aliens to keep trying until they were successful in traversing that corridor beyond which they could live and reside as long as they wish and do whatever they want, while the services branch of INS does everything it can to make their status legal. This status quo has not changed under INS Commissioner James Ziglar.

This is a schizophrenic approach, which does not, never has and never will work. The INS must be separated into two agencies, one to provide services and the other for enforcement purposes. The U.S. Border Patrol must be allowed to do its job in strict accordance to the law without regard to political correctness and without regard to state, city and local boundaries. This is the only way we can remain a sovereign nation. We cannot allow a foreign nation to dictate our immigration policy, which is the current standard. Either an alien has legally entered the United States or he has not. The legal alien is entitled to benefits and services. The others are not. Every single person who has sneaked into this country made an informed decision to violate the laws of this country and has accepted the risk of detection and deportation. None of them should be allowed to reside in the U.S. without first exiting and making a legal application for entry in order to screen for criminals, the insane, subversives, terrorists and disease.

The U.S. Border Patrol simply cannot handle its mission under present restraints. Its job is to protect the American public and preserve the sanctity of our international borders. That cannot be accomplished while our borders are over run by aliens of every nationality and while bureaucrats place unreasonable restrictions on how agents operate.

-I urge the immediate deployment of U.S. military troops and equipment on our borders to seal them against those who would cause us harm. This could be only a temporary measure to allow us to regain control to again become a sovereign nation.

-I urge the separation of the U.S. Border Patrol into a separate agency responsible for the detection, interdiction, arrest, prosecution and/or deportation of drug smugglers and illegal aliens. An experienced enforcement officer whose primary purpose is to protect America and American citizens must run this separate agency. That separate agency must have its own budget and control its own spending. This would assure that the law enforcement agency doesn't have to dance like a puppet at the whim of a non-law enforcement entity with an agenda of its own operating the purse strings. A professional law enforcement agency must be in total control of enforcement, (with Attorney General and Congressional oversight, of course), or political special interests will exercise undue influence as has been the case with the Border Patrol for the last 78 years.


I realize I cannot be more specific and detailed due to time restraints, so I respectfully submit this to you at this time.

Sincerely,
David J. Stoddard

Another Post About Illegal Immigration

The past couple of weeks have been pretty crazy and a lot of it is happening in Arizona. We have people protesting the enforcement of laws, boycotting our state for implementing the same laws the federal government has, we have ranchers being shot, cops being shot, and LOS SUNS dabbling in the arena of politics.


All the while the libtards out there are screaming racism, because that is the only argument they have and it's the only argument that makes people react. Call anyone a racist and it makes them feel the need to prove they are not. It is an affective method. The next best thing is to compare things to Nazi Germany. Always the go to no matter what side of the fence you are on.

But some are not fooled by the out cry. Some can see it for what it is. The people protesting do not care about America or laws or law abiding citizens. They do not care if the bill has been amended to make sure that racial profiling is strictly prohibited. They do not care that "Show Me Your Papers" = License and registration please.

They know that key words bring strong reactions. Show me your papers, is reminiscent of the Nazis or Soviet Russia. Ironically, the later is what a lot of these people want to bring about.

Boycott Arizona is the new platform and it is being implemented by all the libtards cities in America. Cities I hate to travel to and just being in them makes my skin crawl. San Fran, Boston, LA, Portland (I actually like Portland) and even some cities in Arizona.

I for one am willing to pay higher taxes to subsidize the lost revenue from the boycott. I am not voting on Prop. 101 but would vote for a bill titled, Prop. 125: The Arizona Tax increase and giving the middle finger to those who boycott us proposition. The title is a bit lengthy but it will get the message across.

So what is the true mission of the protest organizers?

They want an open border. They want to reap the benefits of Americans past but piss on the culture that made it so. They want to bring in more people with their hands out begging so they will vote them into more power. They want to invade us.

Pick one or more, hell pick them all. I am sure one of those fits each of the groups leading the protests. It is the only thing that makes sense. You constantly hear these people saying we need comprehensive immigration reform yet they protest anything that is not amnesty.

Some of them come out and say exactly what they want aka IMMIGRANTS WITHOUT BORDERS. Making the USA the only country in the world with no immigration laws.

Do not be fooled people. Do not succumb to the taunts of being a racist. You know if you are a racist or not. Being pro immigration reform and strict enforcement of immigration laws does not make you a racist. There are more ways to wage war than with guns and when it comes to the wars without guns America usually loses. We are a kind and generous people and it is our greatest weakness. We can not allow ourselves to be used and invaded by people who have no inclination to join our society and in a lot of cases only wish to destroy us or take us over.

Ironically, the only place that leads is America becoming just like the country these people couldn’t survive in or their culture of corruption destroyed, forcing them to flee for the safety and success that the American culture so aptly built.

Arizona Poll on Illegal Immigration

The latest telephone poll taken by the Arizona Governor's office asked whether people who live in Arizona think illegal immigration is a serious problem:





19% responded, "Yes, it is a serious problem."

81% responded, "No es una problema seriosa."

This article makes me sick.

I don't know what else to say.

Continuation of SB 1070

This started out as a comment on Warthogs previous blog, but it ran a little long so I just created another blog. Please read the full version of the new law that Warthog posted. I know, it’s a little long and a whole lot of boring legalese, but there is a lot of misinformation being thrown around out there. Read it and decide for yourself.

So here is my $0.02

I keep hearing over and over that an individual state should not be able to enforce laws that are specifically given to the federal government. That the constitution and the US federal codes are the laws of the land and states should not interfere. Unfortunately I only hear this argument now, on this law. These are the same people that argued Kalifornia had an absolute right to legalize marijuana for "medicinal" purposes, and now legislation to outright legalize it all together. Both in direct violation of United States law. Some of these people are screaming the loudest now. Why is one perceived violation of federal law ok and one isn't? I have been EXTREMELY outspoken when it comes to state's rights. I have said that I don't care if Cali wants legalized marijuana. Hell, I don't care if AZ does! I think individuals in their particular states should have the right to choose how they want to live, and what laws they want to be governed under. By no means does this mean I think a state should be allowed to violate any individual’s rights in order to achieve these goals. And nowhere in this current law do I think this is now accepted.

I am so frustrated that people are against this law. How can you say this law is unconstitutional? IT'S ALREADY AGAINST THE FREAKIN' LAW TO BE HERE WITHOUT PERMISSION!!! If it's already a law, how can this law be unconstitutional? And if you’re going to argue that it’s only a federal law....see above paragraph. If you still think the same way, ask yourself if you supported the marijuana laws in California, or the gay marriage laws in the other states, or the original CCW laws issued by individual states. If you supported these other laws, you don’t have any right to criticize this one. They are all about states’ rights. I supported, and still do, every single one of these laws.

Here is another prime example. It is currently against federal law to be in possession of a shotgun that has a barrel length less than 18 inches. It is also against Arizona law. ARS 13-3101.8.iv gives the definition of a prohibited weapon. ARS 13-3102.3 says it’s against the law to be in possession of this type of prohibited weapon. WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE! THE PROTESTS! HOW DARE ARIZONA ENCROACH ON FEDERAL LAWS!

I welcome any and all questions on how this type of law would be enforced. I can only tell you right now that I don't believe its going to be any different with this law than any other type of detention or arrest. No where in this statute does it give an officer permission to stop an individual just to check on their immigration status. I also challenge you to find any type of that wording in this bill. And no, "in the normal course of an officer’s duty" does not mean the 4th amendment against search and seizure is now void. Any violation of this would result in sanctions against the officer both criminal and civil

Let’s talk about an example I was asked about the other day:

A person gets pulled over for speeding. That is a lawful detention. The officer asks for, and receives from the driver, an Arizona driver's license. Guess what? According to this new law, you have just proved you're either a citizen or have some type of long term/permanent residency in this state. Just by having an Arizona driver's license or ID card, you have satisfied the requirements set forth in this law because neither can be issued to aliens in AZ.

Let’s say you forgot your wallet or purse with your ID in it. No problem, a records check can verify if you have ever been issued one of these documents. Technically you can be arrested for driving a motor vehicle without ID, as this is a crime. If that happens, you’re fingerprinted, and guess what? Your immigration status is checked. Every person booked into the jail has there status checked. This is not something new. It has been this way for as long as I can remember.

Please feel free to ask any questions, make a comment, or pose any type of scenario you can think of. I will try my best to answer.

SENATE BILL 1070

For your reading pleasure here is the entire bill. Please let me know if you find the parts where it states that all brown people should be questioned.

For you Dirty Libs out there, you should be able to find them easily because MSNBC and the other "unbiased" media outlets keep saying it's RIGHT IN THE BILL.

Well I can not find it. Libs out there who disagree with this bill need to educate me. I know not all Libs are against this bill. 70% of Arizona can not be for this without there being a lot of libs and Hispanics for the bill.

I say we talk about this honestly. If you think this is some Nazi bullshit, then show me. I am no Nazi and will fight anything that is racist.

I do not believe illegal immigration is a race issue. However, the only way for the opposition to fight it is by calling it racist. Granted, the majority of illegal immigrants are of a certain skin color, but that does not give them a free pass to break the laws that this country and now this state have imposed.

This law affects only the people who are not legally in this country, therefore they have no rights in this country other than those that are inalienable.

22 employs an unauthorized alien, the attorney general or county attorney shall

23 investigate whether the employer has violated subsection A of this section.

24 If a complaint is received but is not submitted on a prescribed complaint

25 form, the attorney general or county attorney may investigate whether the

26 employer has violated subsection A of this section. This subsection shall

27 not be construed to prohibit the filing of anonymous complaints that are not

12 unauthorized alien employee is or was employed by the employer. The county

13 attorney shall not bring an action against any employer for any violation of

14 subsection A of this section that occurs before January 1, 2008. A second

15 violation of this section shall be based only on an unauthorized alien who is

16 or was employed by the employer after an action has been brought for a

17 violation of subsection A of this section or section 23-212.01, subsection A.

18 E. For any action in superior court under this section, the court

19 shall expedite the action, including assigning the hearing at the earliest

25 unauthorized aliens.

26 (b) Shall order the employer to be subject to a three year

27 probationary period for the business location where the unauthorized alien

28 performed work. During the probationary period the employer shall file

29 quarterly reports in the form provided in section 23-722.01 with the county

30 attorney of each new employee who is hired by the employer at the business

31 location where the unauthorized alien performed work.

32 (c) Shall order the employer to file a signed sworn affidavit with the

33 county attorney within three business days after the order is issued. The

34 affidavit shall state that the employer has terminated the employment of all

35 unauthorized aliens in this state and that the employer will not

37 court shall order the appropriate agencies to suspend all licenses subject to

38 this subdivision that are held by the employer if the employer fails to file

39 a signed sworn affidavit with the county attorney within three business days

40 after the order is issued. All licenses that are suspended under this

41 subdivision shall remain suspended until the employer files a signed sworn

42 affidavit with the county attorney. Notwithstanding any other law, on filing

43 of the affidavit the suspended licenses shall be reinstated immediately by

44 the appropriate agencies. For the purposes of this subdivision, the licenses

45 that are subject to suspension under this subdivision are all licenses that

S.B. 1070

- 8 -

1 are held by the employer specific to the business location where the

2 unauthorized alien performed work. If the employer does not hold a license

3 specific to the business location where the unauthorized alien performed

4 work, but a license is necessary to operate the employer's business in

5 general, the licenses that are subject to suspension under this subdivision

6 are all licenses that are held by the employer at the employer's primary

7 place of business. On receipt of the court's order and notwithstanding any

8 other law, the appropriate agencies shall suspend the licenses according to

9 the court's order. The court shall send a copy of the court's order to the

10 attorney general and the attorney general shall maintain the copy pursuant to

11 subsection G of this section.

12 (d) May order the appropriate agencies to suspend all licenses

13 described in subdivision (c) of this paragraph that are held by the employer

14 for not to exceed ten business days. The court shall base its decision to

15 suspend under this subdivision on any evidence or information submitted to it

16 during the action for a violation of this subsection and shall consider the

17 following factors, if relevant:

18 (i) The number of unauthorized aliens employed by the employer.

19 (ii) Any prior misconduct by the employer.

20 (iii) The degree of harm resulting from the violation.

21 (iv) Whether the employer made good faith efforts to comply with any

22 applicable requirements.

23 (v) The duration of the violation.

24 (vi) The role of the directors, officers or principals of the employer

25 in the violation.

26 (vii) Any other factors the court deems appropriate.

27 2. For a second violation, as described in paragraph 3 of this

28 subsection, the court shall order the appropriate agencies to permanently

29 revoke all licenses that are held by the employer specific to the business

30 location where the unauthorized alien performed work. If the employer does

31 not hold a license specific to the business location where the unauthorized

32 alien performed work, but a license is necessary to operate the employer's

33 business in general, the court shall order the appropriate agencies to

34 permanently revoke all licenses that are held by the employer at the

35 employer's primary place of business. On receipt of the order and

36 notwithstanding any other law, the appropriate agencies shall immediately

37 revoke the licenses.

38 3. The violation shall be considered:

39 (a) A first violation by an employer at a business location if the

40 violation did not occur during a probationary period ordered by the court

41 under this subsection or section 23-212.01, subsection F for that employer's

42 business location.

43 (b) A second violation by an employer at a business location if the

44 violation occurred during a probationary period ordered by the court under

S.B. 1070

- 9 -

1 this subsection or section 23-212.01, subsection F for that employer's

2 business location.

3 G. The attorney general shall maintain copies of court orders that are

4 received pursuant to subsection F of this section and shall maintain a

5 database of the employers and business locations that have a first violation

6 of subsection A of this section and make the court orders available on the

7 attorney general's website.

8 H. On determining whether an employee is an unauthorized alien, the

9 court shall consider only the federal government's determination pursuant to

10 8 United States Code section 1373(c). The federal government's determination

11 creates a rebuttable presumption of the employee's lawful status. The court

12 may take judicial notice of the federal government's determination and may

13 request the federal government to provide automated or testimonial

14 verification pursuant to 8 United States Code section 1373(c).

15 I. For the purposes of this section, proof of verifying the employment

16 authorization of an employee through the e-verify program creates a

17 rebuttable presumption that an employer did not knowingly employ an

18 unauthorized alien.

19 J. For the purposes of this section, an employer that establishes that

20 it has complied in good faith with the requirements of 8 United States Code

21 section 1324a(b) establishes an affirmative defense that the employer did not

22 knowingly employ an unauthorized alien. An employer is considered to have

23 complied with the requirements of 8 United States Code section 1324a(b),

24 notwithstanding an isolated, sporadic or accidental technical or procedural

25 failure to meet the requirements, if there is a good faith attempt to comply

26 with the requirements.

27 K. IT IS AN AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE TO A VIOLATION OF SUBSECTION A OF THIS

28 SECTION THAT THE EMPLOYER WAS ENTRAPPED. TO CLAIM ENTRAPMENT, THE EMPLOYER

29 MUST ADMIT BY THE EMPLOYER'S TESTIMONY OR OTHER EVIDENCE THE SUBSTANTIAL

30 ELEMENTS OF THE VIOLATION. AN EMPLOYER WHO ASSERTS AN ENTRAPMENT DEFENSE HAS

31 THE BURDEN OF PROVING THE FOLLOWING BY CLEAR AND CONVINCING EVIDENCE:

32 1. THE IDEA OF COMMITTING THE VIOLATION STARTED WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT

33 OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS RATHER THAN WITH THE EMPLOYER.

34 2. THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS URGED AND INDUCED THE

35 EMPLOYER TO COMMIT THE VIOLATION.

36 3. THE EMPLOYER WAS NOT PREDISPOSED TO COMMIT THE VIOLATION BEFORE THE

37 LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS URGED AND INDUCED THE EMPLOYER TO

38 COMMIT THE VIOLATION.

39 L. AN EMPLOYER DOES NOT ESTABLISH ENTRAPMENT IF THE EMPLOYER WAS

40 PREDISPOSED TO VIOLATE SUBSECTION A OF THIS SECTION AND THE LAW ENFORCEMENT

41 OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS MERELY PROVIDED THE EMPLOYER WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO

42 COMMIT THE VIOLATION. IT IS NOT ENTRAPMENT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OR

43 THEIR AGENTS MERELY TO USE A RUSE OR TO CONCEAL THEIR IDENTITY. THE CONDUCT

44 OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND THEIR AGENTS MAY BE CONSIDERED IN DETERMINING

45 IF AN EMPLOYER HAS PROVEN ENTRAPMENT.

2 to bring an action pursuant to subsection D of this section if the complaint

3 was originally filed with the attorney general.

4 D. An action for a violation of subsection A of this section shall be

5 brought against the employer by the county attorney in the county where the

6 unauthorized alien employee is or was employed by the employer. The county

7 attorney shall not bring an action against any employer for any violation of

8 subsection A of this section that occurs before January 1, 2008. A second

9 violation of this section shall be based only on an unauthorized alien who is

10 or was employed by the employer after an action has been brought for a

11 violation of subsection A of this section or section 23-212, subsection A.

12 E. For any action in superior court under this section, the court

13 shall expedite the action, including assigning the hearing at the earliest

14 practicable date.

15 F. On a finding of a violation of subsection A of this section:

16 1. For a first violation, as described in paragraph 3 of this

17 subsection, the court shall:

18 (a) Order the employer to terminate the employment of all unauthorized

19 aliens.

20 (b) Order the employer to be subject to a five year probationary

21 period for the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work.

22 During the probationary period the employer shall file quarterly reports in

23 the form provided in section 23-722.01 with the county attorney of each new

24 employee who is hired by the employer at the business location where the

25 unauthorized alien performed work.

26 (c) Order the appropriate agencies to suspend all licenses described

27 in subdivision (d) of this paragraph that are held by the employer for a

28 minimum of ten days. The court shall base its decision on the length of the

29 suspension under this subdivision on any evidence or information submitted to

30 it during the action for a violation of this subsection and shall consider

31 the following factors, if relevant:

32 (i) The number of unauthorized aliens employed by the employer.

33 (ii) Any prior misconduct by the employer.

34 (iii) The degree of harm resulting from the violation.

35 (iv) Whether the employer made good faith efforts to comply with any

36 applicable requirements.

37 (v) The duration of the violation.

38 (vi) The role of the directors, officers or principals of the employer

39 in the violation.

40 (vii) Any other factors the court deems appropriate.

41 (d) Order the employer to file a signed sworn affidavit with the

42 county attorney. The affidavit shall state that the employer has terminated

43 the employment of all unauthorized aliens in this state and that the employer

44 will not intentionally or knowingly employ an unauthorized alien in this

45 state. The court shall order the appropriate agencies to suspend all

S.B. 1070

- 12 -

1 licenses subject to this subdivision that are held by the employer if the

2 employer fails to file a signed sworn affidavit with the county attorney

3 within three business days after the order is issued. All licenses that are

4 suspended under this subdivision for failing to file a signed sworn affidavit

5 shall remain suspended until the employer files a signed sworn affidavit with

6 the county attorney. For the purposes of this subdivision, the licenses that

7 are subject to suspension under this subdivision are all licenses that are

8 held by the employer specific to the business location where the unauthorized

9 alien performed work. If the employer does not hold a license specific to

10 the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work, but a

11 license is necessary to operate the employer's business in general, the

12 licenses that are subject to suspension under this subdivision are all

13 licenses that are held by the employer at the employer's primary place of

14 business. On receipt of the court's order and notwithstanding any other law,

15 the appropriate agencies shall suspend the licenses according to the court's

16 order. The court shall send a copy of the court's order to the attorney

17 general and the attorney general shall maintain the copy pursuant to

18 subsection G of this section.

19 2. For a second violation, as described in paragraph 3 of this

20 subsection, the court shall order the appropriate agencies to permanently

21 revoke all licenses that are held by the employer specific to the business

22 location where the unauthorized alien performed work. If the employer does

23 not hold a license specific to the business location where the unauthorized

24 alien performed work, but a license is necessary to operate the employer's

25 business in general, the court shall order the appropriate agencies to

26 permanently revoke all licenses that are held by the employer at the

27 employer's primary place of business. On receipt of the order and

28 notwithstanding any other law, the appropriate agencies shall immediately

29 revoke the licenses.

30 3. The violation shall be considered:

31 (a) A first violation by an employer at a business location if the

32 violation did not occur during a probationary period ordered by the court

33 under this subsection or section 23-212, subsection F for that employer's

34 business location.

35 (b) A second violation by an employer at a business location if the

36 violation occurred during a probationary period ordered by the court under

37 this subsection or section 23-212, subsection F for that employer's business

38 location.

39 G. The attorney general shall maintain copies of court orders that are

40 received pursuant to subsection F of this section and shall maintain a

41 database of the employers and business locations that have a first violation

42 of subsection A of this section and make the court orders available on the

43 attorney general's website.

44 H. On determining whether an employee is an unauthorized alien, the

45 court shall consider only the federal government's determination pursuant to

S.B. 1070

- 13 -

1 8 United States Code section 1373(c). The federal government's determination

2 creates a rebuttable presumption of the employee's lawful status. The court

3 may take judicial notice of the federal government's determination and may

4 request the federal government to provide automated or testimonial

5 verification pursuant to 8 United States Code section 1373(c).

6 I. For the purposes of this section, proof of verifying the employment

7 authorization of an employee through the e-verify program creates a

8 rebuttable presumption that an employer did not intentionally employ an

9 unauthorized alien.

10 J. For the purposes of this section, an employer that establishes that

11 it has complied in good faith with the requirements of 8 United States Code

12 section 1324a(b) establishes an affirmative defense that the employer did not

13 intentionally employ an unauthorized alien. An employer is considered to

14 have complied with the requirements of 8 United States Code section 1324a(b),

15 notwithstanding an isolated, sporadic or accidental technical or procedural

16 failure to meet the requirements, if there is a good faith attempt to comply

17 with the requirements.

18 K. IT IS AN AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE TO A VIOLATION OF SUBSECTION A OF THIS

19 SECTION THAT THE EMPLOYER WAS ENTRAPPED. TO CLAIM ENTRAPMENT, THE EMPLOYER

20 MUST ADMIT BY THE EMPLOYER'S TESTIMONY OR OTHER EVIDENCE THE SUBSTANTIAL

21 ELEMENTS OF THE VIOLATION. AN EMPLOYER WHO ASSERTS AN ENTRAPMENT DEFENSE HAS

22 THE BURDEN OF PROVING THE FOLLOWING BY CLEAR AND CONVINCING EVIDENCE:

23 1. THE IDEA OF COMMITTING THE VIOLATION STARTED WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT

24 OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS RATHER THAN WITH THE EMPLOYER.

25 2. THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS URGED AND INDUCED THE

26 EMPLOYER TO COMMIT THE VIOLATION.

27 3. THE EMPLOYER WAS NOT PREDISPOSED TO COMMIT THE VIOLATION BEFORE THE

28 LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS URGED AND INDUCED THE EMPLOYER TO

29 COMMIT THE VIOLATION.

30 L. AN EMPLOYER DOES NOT ESTABLISH ENTRAPMENT IF THE EMPLOYER WAS

31 PREDISPOSED TO VIOLATE SUBSECTION A OF THIS SECTION AND THE LAW ENFORCEMENT

32 OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS MERELY PROVIDED THE EMPLOYER WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO

33 COMMIT THE VIOLATION. IT IS NOT ENTRAPMENT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OR

34 THEIR AGENTS MERELY TO USE A RUSE OR TO CONCEAL THEIR IDENTITY. THE CONDUCT

35 OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND THEIR AGENTS MAY BE CONSIDERED IN DETERMINING

36 IF AN EMPLOYER HAS PROVEN ENTRAPMENT.

37 Sec. 8. Section 23-214, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:

38 23-214. Verification of employment eligibility; e-verify

39 program; economic development incentives; list of

40 registered employers

41 A. After December 31, 2007, every employer, after hiring an employee,

42 shall verify the employment eligibility of the employee through the e-verify

43 program AND SHALL KEEP A RECORD OF THE VERIFICATION FOR THE DURATION OF THE

44 EMPLOYEE'S EMPLOYMENT OR AT LEAST THREE YEARS, WHICHEVER IS LONGER.

S.B. 1070

- 14 -

1 B. In addition to any other requirement for an employer to receive an

2 economic development incentive from a government entity, the employer shall

3 register with and participate in the e-verify program. Before receiving the

4 economic development incentive, the employer shall provide proof to the

5 government entity that the employer is registered with and is participating

6 in the e-verify program. If the government entity determines that the

7 employer is not complying with this subsection, the government entity shall

8 notify the employer by certified mail of the government entity's

9 determination of noncompliance and the employer's right to appeal the

10 determination. On a final determination of noncompliance, the employer shall

11 repay all monies received as an economic development incentive to the

12 government entity within thirty days of the final determination. For the

13 purposes of this subsection:

14 1. "Economic development incentive" means any grant, loan or

15 performance-based incentive from any government entity that is awarded after

16 September 30, 2008. Economic development incentive does not include any tax

17 provision under title 42 or 43.

18 2. "Government entity" means this state and any political subdivision

19 of this state that receives and uses tax revenues.

20 C. Every three months the attorney general shall request from the

21 United States department of homeland security a list of employers from this

22 state that are registered with the e-verify program. On receipt of the list

23 of employers, the attorney general shall make the list available on the

24 attorney general's website.

36 3. The person is subject to an ignition interlock device requirement

37 pursuant to chapter 4 of this title and the person is operating a vehicle

38 without a functioning certified ignition interlock device. This paragraph

40 of a vehicle due to a substantial emergency as defined in section 28-1464.

41 4. THE PERSON IS IN VIOLATION OF A CRIMINAL OFFENSE AND IS

42 TRANSPORTING, MOVING, CONCEALING, HARBORING OR SHIELDING OR ATTEMPTING TO
