We Should Pull Out of Arizona


The great state of Arizona has seen fit to anoint itself to be superior to the Federal Government by placing higher importance on cleansing the state of their undocumented immigrants than all the essential elements of the US Constitution. A proclamation  of state sovereignty of this magnitude should not be taken on lightly. Maybe Arizona should step up to the problem more fully.

I propose the Federal government should follow their lead and abdicate its responsibility of border patrol along the Arizona/Mexico border.  Let Arizona take care of that. If Arizona is willing to take on the responsibilities of the Federal Government on immigration, why not let them go all the way?  Then the Federal Government can place checkpoints on the border of California, Nevada, Utah and New Mexico.  The Border Patrol could stop all traffic coming out of Arizona and demand proof of citizenship. 

I wonder how long the Arizona law would stay on the books if they had to carry the full burden of border protection and simultaneously be treated as a weak and untrustworthy border state within our country at the same time?
