Arizona shows us how it is done

By now everyone has heard that Arizona has made into Law three landmark Bills:

Concealed Carry Without a Permit

Presidential Candidates Must Show They Meet The Constitutional Requirements to Run for President in Order to Be On Arizona Presidential Ballot

Individuals Suspected by Police of Being Illegal Immigrants Must Show Documentation Proving their Status as Legal Migrants

Each of these, especially the last two, seem extremely common sense. The first is very straightforward Second Amendment. The second simply says, "If you meet the Constitutional Requirements for running for President of the United States, you must make public the documentation that proves you meet those requirements". And the third, "If you are a legal immigrant, prove it, if not, you are breaking the law and are under arrest."

Despite the fact the last two laws simply say, "If you are doing X legally, just show us your doing it legally and there is no problem", there has been massive outrage and Arizona is being smeared by many as being a right wing, racist, lunatic fringe State. You know that when simply expecting people to actually obey the law, and expecting law enforcement to enforcement the law is considered "right wing extremism" that there is a huge problem.

To be labeled "extreme right wing" for simply passing a law saying Laws will be obeyed and enforced, really only means that the people doing the labeling are extreme left wing.

The best thing about all of this is that Arizona is showing us that what should be done, CAN actually be done if only enough of us have the will and the initiative to do it. Other States are starting to pick up on Arizona's lead and we will be following them closely.
