Glenn's rant about the Arizona Illegal Immigration Laws is only available in his subscribed service hence there was no direct link given. I too am interested, if anyone listened to it perhaps they can summarize for us here.

Dems love Mexico, hate Arizona
Apparently Democrats think Mexico is the land of milk and honey because they gave Mexico's President Felipe Calderon a standing ovation (on the House floor, no less) when he bashed Arizona's immigration 'lo' as he called it. Wolf Blitzer recently interviewed Calderon and grilled him on what he does with illegal immigrants. The answers sound eerily similar to that of --- Arizona's laws! Does Felipe Calderon 'strongly disagree' with himself? Does he think Arizona should be tougher? Or is he just a complete and total moron? Ref. Source 6
As former residents of Arizona and California we were painfully aware of illegal border crossings constantly. Californians quietly complained while some profited from cheap labor or "cash only" housing to avoid taxes. Arizonans on the other hand were much more no nonsense about the issue. Laws are laws and to be honored. They were vocal and direct.
Eight years ago we witnessed Mexican flags flying on the 4th of July. Also a high school flying a Mexican flag with the US flag below it upside down - an insult in anyone's country
and punishable in many lands. This is not a race issue at all. Many are humble and hard working seeking a better life. Others come to exploit, profit, or to take the land back for "Aztlan". This also is a fallacy as the true landlords would be the native American Indian tribes in the west [..]
Fox News featured a Mexican guy who brutally assaulted a Washington woman. Before that he was deported from the USA a total of NINE times! It is examples like this that make the citizens of the US very angry and only add to the racial profiling and need for these new laws.

Arizona immigration law blamed for death of Hispanic man:
Tension surrounding the passage of Arizona's tough new law cracking down on illegal immigration contributed to the slaying of an Hispanic man, allegedly shot by a white neighbor, a representative of the dead man's family said Friday. Ref. Source 6
L.A. Schools teach AZ law 'un-American'
California, Ohio and others are boycotting Arizona in one form or another over its immigration law. The latest blow is Los Angeles schools now want to teach the kids that Arizona is 'un-American' for enacting this law. The President doesn't seem to care that states are doing battle with each other - what should he be doing instead? Glenn explains on radio today. Ref. Source 4
It is pretty sad that the new media has pushed this as a Law enacted by Arizona. It is a Law that was placed on the books by the federal government. It is just being enforced by Arizona. I applaud Arizona for the enforcement even though the rest of the sheeple want to bash Arizona.
