Arizona shelves idea of changing immigration law

PHOENIX – Arizona legislators are setting aside Gov. Jan Brewer's suggestion that lawmakers consider changing parts of the state's controversial immigration law.

Brewer on July 30 floated the idea of making "tweaks" to the law shortly after a federal judge blocked implementation of numerous provisions. Legislative aides said Tuesday the idea has been shelved, at least temporarily, mainly because of the state's pending appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

"Everyone agreed ... that it would have been acting in haste to act at this point," said Victor Riches, chief of staff for the House's Republican majority.

There's still a possibility that lawmakers could take up the issue in the future but nothing is in the works now, Riches added.

1. That private prison scandal is too much for them

2. Maybe the fact that crime has lessened in recent years in AZ?

Or they're losing tourist dollars? Or they don't have a leg to stand on?

3. News flash! they never planned to change it.

It's SCARE season.. They know that their base must be afraid...very afraid..in order to make them vote

Every election, they have to make them afraid of:

choose any that apply:

gay-stuff
god-stuff
gun-stuff
brown-skinned people-stuff
tax hike stuff
unborn baby stuff
moooooslim stuff
voucher stuff/charter stuff


It's the same old stuff over and over and over, and they keep falling for it and our very own dems keep getting dragged into their nonsensical quests...and end up defending a position that should need no defense.

rinse repeat... ad infinitum
