Sen. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, announced today that he'll work to see Arizona's controversial new immigration law mirrored in a third of the country.

Pearce said he is working with representatives in the 18 other states to draft the legislation.

"It will be the law of the land," Pearce said to a few hundred participating in a support rally for SB1070. "We're not waiting on Washington, D.C."

Pearce is one of several speakers attending a rally this afternoon at Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza near the state Capitol.

The Tea Party Road Trip - Arizona Buycott event is sponsored by a tea party group from Orlando, Fla. that made a three-day trip to the Valley.

One of the speakers attending, former Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., said the next time he came to the plaza, he hoped to see a statue of Pearce.

1. About time for the courts and the Justice Department to put a stop to this...

2. Pearce barely has a HS education. He is the dumbest member of an extremely dumb legislature.

3. Unfortunately he's also a Mormon

and as we saw with Prop H8 in California, if Elohim's children want a particular medievally stupid piece of shit law passed, they'll break out their massive political machine to get it done.

4. I know that. The AZ Dem Party really , really needed to do something other than work for Obama in

in 2008. We had the wealthiest state party in the nation. But they didn't care.. They knew this was coming and this is the price. Some of us ran for office and worked to take these guys out but no one was really, really interested. Our undevote was huge. It just makes me foam at the mouth with rage. Those of us who worked, worked hard and our efforts were dismissed.Now we have to live with this. Do you know they even spun this has a "good thing". They said this would teach voters exactly how "bad" the GOP was. Like they didn't already know it. :banghead:

5. We've got to get to work finding the goods on this @sshole.

People who work the street he does tend to have all kinds of fun stuff in the closet -- wife beating, drugs, shady business dealings, illegal gun possession or trafficking. It's there, somewhere.

6. Jesus Hussein Christ.

7. Can't be. You have Barbara Kingsolver.

We have to get the megaphone out of these creeps' hands, that's all.

8. Ah, but the megaphone in their hands will be a big part of their demise.

The tea trash need as much public exposure as possible. Cockroaches are disbursed when the lights go on.

9. That's a very good point

Especially in this sense:

Since the recent anti-immigrant initiatives, polling shows support for comprehensive immigration reform increasing, with a large majority now favoring it--including a large majority of those who support Arizona's "papers" law.

The debate has stirred up increased pressure on Washington to "do something" about illegal immigration--but that "something" could be an initiative for comprehensive reform--the last thing the anti-immigrant crowd wants. Republicans in Congress have vowed to block it, but their intransigence could come under increasing scrutiny in the face of public demands for action.
