		<description><![CDATA[Originally, I did not support the Arizona immigration law because I truly believed it opened the door to creating a &quot;papers, please&quot; society in Arizona. Forget racial profiling; as originally written, it could affected anyone and the thought of a taxfeeder shaking me down on the street because he/she suspected me of being illegal really irked me. Especially if I didn&#039;t happen to have proof of my legal residence, I can only imagine the horror of being falsely wrung through the System. Sheriff Joe&#039;s Tent City (read: concentration camp), need I say more? Regardless of states&#039; rights, such a system should not exist and as a resident of Arizona the law originally gave me much concern. However, since it&#039;s been amended to address these very issues, my concerns have been allayed, and I am now open to seeing this law implemented in the fullest 
 
Governor Brewer must activate the Arizona militia to back up this new immigration law, otherwise it is merely a handout to the prison-industrial complex. It does not make any sense to shake down illegal entrants in Arizona when the &quot;door&quot; is still left wide open for them to walk right back through after they&#039;ve been deported. The next logical step for Gov. Brewer to take in Arizona is to get behind the Bring the Guard Home movement and ensure the adoption of such legislation. I believe she can also do this by declaring a state of emergency and demanding the National Guard be brought back to AZ, however, this might spook people, particularly the Feds, into doing something that will likely be stupid and well, maybe no &quot;evil&quot; as that may be too strong a word, but certainly detrimental to states&#039; rights. If she succeeds in bringing the AZ National Guard home, she will have the resources available to secure Arizona&#039;s borders ... all of them. However, according to state regulations regarding the militia (see&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.azleg.state.az.us/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/ars/26/00122.htm&amp;Title=26&amp;DocType=ARS),&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.azleg.state.az.us/FormatDocument.asp?i...&lt;/a&gt; the militia of Arizona consists of the National Guard, a State Guard, and the unorganized militia (which I take to mean any able bodied, armed citizen belonging to neither the National or State Guard). If Gov. Brewer is unable/unwilling to call the AZ National Guard back from the Middle East, then she, as Executive, needs to organize a State Guard with specific directives and use them to back up the recent immigration accord. I understand that members of the unorganized militia have taken some initiative on the border, such as the Minutemen, but they operate with no oversight and have been subject to investigations of vigilantism and human rights violations concerning illegal entrants. However, if Brewer were to create a State Guard, give it directives, and bring it under the control of the Arizona government, it can be regimented in a way that can be effective as well as humane in enforcing the law. That is the hope, anyhow. An Arizona State Guard could be raised and used to secure the freedom of the State of Arizona, pursuant the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution. ]]></description>
