Id gladly tell anyone on this forum in person what Ive said on here as it wont effect my pocket book or my family. If someone wants to kick my *** because of my beliefs then theyre more than welcome to try but that is another reason why Ive used one of my rights a legal citizen to have a CHL so I may have to disagree about getting my *** kicked

This thread delivers.

Illegal Immigrants should have rights! The right to be deported back to wherever the **** you came from and a bill for transportation.

Come on Scott, is the sig really necessary? Youre entitled to your opinion in this thread but the sig really isnt needed.

I thought Bill already told you he is the only one that can tell someone to GTFO

So, immigration aside for just a second... then ya'll can get right back to it, I'm wondering the angle of if or when Arizona might step up and do something drastic like sending their power away from cali. Immigration policies aside again, this boils down to the "holier than thou's" in L.A. that sniff their own farts and drive hybrids thinking they're better than everyone else in the U.S. I'm going to go ahead and say that they do in fact have the right to boycott Arizona goods, but on that note Arizona has the right to deny them things at will also.

Anyone care to elaborate on interstate commerce at all?
*edit* and how long will it take for this to reach a boiling point thing at the fed.gov level?

They do have that right, thats the whole point. Arizona doesnt have to do anything just because Cali needs power. Cali cuts contracts, 'zona cuts the power. Sounds fair to me.

I completely agree with this, I'm just wondering if they have the sack to throw the middle finger up and do it lol. Plus that gets me wondering, if they do it, are the feds going to step in and try to break up the fight?

In europe little "states" are always bickering back and forth, just in the past year and a half or so it seems that a handful of states here are starting. A lot of it has started with gun laws and the feds overstepping their bounds... I'm thinking I'm gonna start collecting bottlecaps now and keep my mags loaded lol
