Congress:

Fox News (lol I know, but still they have a local sheriff on):

Is this the reason for the new illegal immigration reform?

Jesus, that Fox bit is shady.

Obama should give the entire state of AZ to Mexico.

I'm sure the Navajo would love that.

That is not the sheriff of the "local county" in question. Paul Babeau is the sheriff of Pinal County, which is sandwiched between Pima and Maricopa County. The Buenos Aires NWR lies within Pima and Santa Cruz County. It is telling that both Pima and Santa Cruz County sheriffs oppose SB 1070 and do not appear on the Fox News program.

I live in Southern Arizona and no, the area is not descending into lawlessness.

No.

Well that's good. I was hoping someone on the boards lived near the region and could confirm or deny the allegations (again, Fox News, but the all news has been pretty shitty lately).

I love Biden. I really do.

Elena Kagan. Discuss.

I don't like a lot of her policies on terror. She is anti-freedom of speech when the issues are related to "potential terror threats". Garre wasn't much different, I guess. All in all pretty run of the mill.

Kevin James in drag, say word.

Prop 19. Discuss.
