This woman has irked the crap out of me from the first time I laid eyes on her. I think this plan is a good first step to a badly needed overhaul of our immigration policy.
Eta: maybe this should have been my uo.

Spooko:

Wait, the deferral plan that allows them temporary work status is a good plan, or the governor cutting them off from any aid is a good plan?

Sorry I should have been more clear. The deferral plan=good, brewer=wicked witch of AZ.

I thought that's what you meant, but then the last part about it being a UO threw me off.  I didn't think many here would disagree with it being a good plan. Immigration is that issue for me that I have a hard time being detached about so I won't get into my feelings about Brewer, but I agree with the plan finally being something good getting done. 

Me too. I went to dc to lobby when they were debating the Kennedy McCain act and it was pretty cool.

She's an idiot. Whenever I've heard her speak, it's sounds completely obvious she's reading from a script. Sometimes, it's clear she hadn't seen the script before and often, she can't answer basic questions. 

I also think it's ridiculous to focus on people who were brought here as children. I feel for the people who have been here for as long as they can remember and maybe can't even speak Spanish well, but have to worry about being returned to a country they don't know.

I'm also surprised that Sheriff Joe hasn't been hanging out near the local immigration offices to arrest all the illegal immigrants they can find. That's usually his MO.

BTW, that article says the Supreme Court "upheld" the provision requiring officers to demand proof of citizenship. In actuality, the Supreme Court simply held off on striking it down until they see how it's implemented. I don't see how they can implement it without racial profiling.

Andplusalso, I had the opportunity to hear a speaker who was a Deputy Assistant Attorney General (I think - basically one of the #3 attorneys) at the Department of Justice until last year. She explained that there are so many deportation cases that DOJ can't possibly prosecute all of them - there aren't enough immigration courts/judges OR attorneys. They have to prioritize the cases, and it makes sense to prioritize cases involving people who have committed crimes since they came here over people who have never committed a crime, have contributed to our society, and were brought here before they were old enough to have a say. 

Not that I needed that explained. Just that it carries a little more weight coming from someone who worked within the Administration making the decision than just from little ol' me.
