Dean Martin, Arizona state treasurer and Republican candidate for governor, is pushing a plan that would create "tent cities" to house convicted illegal immigrants, modeled after notorious anti-immigration Sheriff Joe Arpaio's set-up in his own Maricopa County.
In an interview with TPM, Martin described how the tent cities would provide "inexpensive temporary housing" that could save the state enough money to deploy troops down to the border.

Has anybody died of heatstroke in Arpaio's tent city? Seems inevitable.

Well, we all know that the majority of the people that are coming to Arizona and trespassing are now becoming drug mules," Brewer said. "They're coming across our borders in huge numbers. The drug cartels have taken control of the immigration.
"So they are criminals. They're breaking the law when they are trespassing and they're criminals when they pack the marijuana and the drugs on their backs."

wow! it would be so exciting if this was true. unfortunately she doesn't seem able to produce any sort of source, proof, evidence, factual basis, anything. which is surprising since you'd think arizona law enforcement would be able to produce all kinds of statistics given the proportion of the budget most arizona municipalities throw in. she's an idiot. she wasn't even elected. she's a godsend to the republicans in arizona.

It is so weird, there's all these totally homemade looking signs on many corners in town saying that some or another politician opposes SB 1070. For me that's a bonus but I'm pretty sure these signs are saying it is a reason to not vote for that politician.

Last year, two men showed up in Benson, Ariz., a small desert town 60 miles from the Mexico border, offering a deal.Glenn Nichols, the Benson city manager, remembers the pitch."The gentleman that's the main thrust of this thing has a huge turquoise ring on his finger," Nichols said. "He's a great big huge guy and I equated him to a car salesman."What he was selling was a prison for women and children who were illegal immigrants."They talk [about] how positive this was going to be for the community," Nichols said, "the amount of money that we would realize from each prisoner on a daily rate."But Nichols wasn't buying. He asked them how would they possibly keep a prison full for years — decades even — with illegal immigrants?"They talked like they didn't have any doubt they could fill it," Nichols said.That's because prison companies like this one had a plan — a new business model to lock up illegal immigrants. And the plan became Arizona's immigration law.

WTF is wrong with Arizona
People behind a new church in Phoenix are trying to stay ahead of any potential controversy or hate that accompanied the announcement of a proposed mosque near Ground Zero in New York City.A new dome-like structure near 19th Avenue along Interstate 10 in Phoenix is the Light of the World church, a nondenominational Christian church hoping to modernize traditional worship services, a church spokesman saidSince the distinctive dome shape went up, church leaders said they have received phone calls from concerned neighbors who've mistaken the building for an Islamic mosque.On Wednesday, church officials hung a sign reminding people they're Christian congregation. "We're trying to let people know that we're Christian and our churches are modern," said Uzieo Martinez.

It is difficult for me, as someone who is on balance more against the death penalty than for it due to the nature of our judicial system, to feel like this verdict was unwarranted.
