If Witkowiak wants to play boycott, may we should send a message back to him. We agree with action to curb the illegal cycle and will do our own boycott.
How about one of the biggest American chain stores? We start by not buying goods from that store until congress in each state does something. Lets see, make sure you are buying American. Do not buy from the offending countries.

sarah1 I was not picking out your post in any . Just the whole issue.

I have a question for those of you defending the "right" (ha!) for illegals to be here are also attacking those who put them to work. I want neither, but given that they are here and their presence here is supported by so many of you, how do you propose they earn any money while they're here? I hope it's your houses they would burglarize or worse.

Oh, wait. You also have the spineless "equal force" law, whereas I would have the legal right to defend my home by splattering their "donkey".
If they don't like it, I don't care. They shouldn't have been here in the first place. Then I'd hire LEGAL immigrants to clean up the mess.

GO AZ! About time somebody got it started in the right direction! Illegal is illegal. End of debate

NVgrf, What's this "wing" stuff? I just know right from wrong. A boycott against laws being enforced? Another sign of America going down hill.

WISCONSIN SHOULD HAVE THIS LAW.

It is Somewhat humourous to see, Government Bodies take issue with the 'keep them & separated & keep them' afraid' policies. Just to keep the American People fighting amoungst themselves, and ignoring true policies. Or there a Lack of Policy.
Yet they tend to ignore the real issues and place partisan blame on the REAL IMPORTANT ISSUES for the people as a whole population.
Does anybody else feel like we are in a whirl-wind of BS and not the promised *CHANGE* we have comming? Nothing has changed. Nothing is being accomplished by the said majority. It was hooplah-swave Spin once again. Wake up folks. Don't go along with the Offered Hype. Hype about what IS IMPORTANT to this country.
Milwaukee is NOT a good example. Real World Issues are. The issues that are killing our Sons and Daughters over seas. The issues that are stealing from our walettes. The rise in Property Taxes, and the lowering of assesment values* on our homes? (Kind of questionably backward, don't you think?) The issues of education for our children, in a time when education will be the sustainment of our Society & Economy in the near years to come.
This is about sending illegals home. This is about the only way to defeat the influx of illegals taking jobs away from American's. This is about money-out/ and not re-entered into the USA economy.( Don't feed me the bull please, they send % home.) This is about resources spent on a people that should be covered in their country but are not/ Thats not OUR responsibility.(Health Care-Education.) This is about If they follow the correct procedures, await their turn too ( alocated Legal Entry Numbers) Like any from overseas or outside of this country DO and are held to it legally.
Just because they are right next door, does not give special permission to enter illegally. This is wrong and drastic measures must be utilized to contain the situation. It is simple, non-complex, and the only way this can be handled at this time. Lighten up detractors of LAW. This law IS FOR YOUR WELL BEING.

916wi If Arizona would stop buying Miller Beer or Harley that would be the last nail in casket for them.
Just like people are boycotting Arizona Ice Tea. The tea is not even from Arizona its from New York. The only ones that want to keep them around are the ones that are screwing them over working them long hours. It you think they should stay in those State move down to those States and try to find a Job.
If you want to boycott Milwaukee go ahead if you don't know that City that well you will get your self lost and end up in the wrong part of Town and you may end up getting killed by some illegals.

GO AZ.

Fewer people spending money in Milwaukee will turn that city into a bigger cesspool than it already is. I am completely with Arizona on this one. They should turn around and boycott Miller and Harley--there are great alternatives to both of those products......As far as NVgrf goes--take everything she says with a grain of salt. A truly clueless person who not too long ago was praising Medicare as an efficient and well run government program......Definitely not the brightest crayon in the box:)

More of the same jaw flapping

usaret...I'm sure you know the answer to your own question.

In a word...TROLL.

NVgrf: You just might want to take your own advice and read the Constitution and if you have a hard time understanding it, get someone to explain it to you. Plus why are commenting on items in the Gazette? And, yes I know you have the right but just wondering why?

TY john......the only way to deal with the far right today is humor.

NVgrf you're too funny.

I love the way these right wing nut jobs attempt to tag team anyone who disagees with their narrow minded attitudes. But when they resort to personal attacks, it is obvious their target has won the argument. So sad girls.

NVgrf, it is clear you have no understanding of the law. Boarder states have full authority to protect their borders.

NVgrf doesn't even live in AZ or WI but he thinks he can speak for everyone.

Sorry NVgrf...but you are NOT as important as you would like us all to believe.

Get over yourself.

From NVgrf: "KTM....I work in Arizona. Illegals are not "killing blue collar workers" NVgrf, you hit the nail on the head but in your own words what is it you don't understand about ILLEGAL? AZ has the right to protect the LEGAL citizens of their state, what is it with you clueless libs ....

What part of local control don't you comprehend...Nvgrf?

Read the Constitution. Or get someone to read it to you.

"The federal government, according to the Constitution, is responsible for border control."

And how's that workin' out for ya NVgrf?

Right Wing Nitwits....The federal government, according to the Constitution, is responsible for border control....not states. Read the Constitution, it may be a new experience for you loudmouths.

It's no joke when a law is passed that in unconstitutional. Other states have every right and obligation to protest where it hurts -- in the pocketbook. Cops hate this law. The head law-enforcement officer of the state (governor) can't even tell them what it means (see press conference). Yet cops can be sued by some citizen if they don't think they're detaining enough brown folks for their tastes. What is the matter with you people? In the United States of America, we don't detain our own citizens for the crime of brownness! Oh wait, I guess if we're in Arizona we do now.

NVgrf.. Jobs like residential construction are not union. I see it happening more every year, crews show up packed in clapped out old mini van's with generic tools and throw budget homes up. There work reflects there wages. These are jobs that legal citizens are glad to do for relitively low wages. The ilegals are doing it for low cash wages making it much better pay.

I'm already boycotting Milwaukee because of the high crime rate. I fly out of Madison via a connecting flight rather than driving over to Mitchell Field in Milwaukee and leaving my car in a parking lot there.

Milwaukee politicians are against law-abiding citizens being able to defend themselves and now they are speaking up against law-abiding states trying to defend themselves. Having nasty holiday weekends doesn't seem to make an impression on them and I haven't seen Mayor Barrett's campaign web site indicating a change of heart about his position on Concealed Carry in Wisconsin after a thug with a criminal record tried to change (or crush, to be more exact) the mayor's mind with a pipe

How about boycotting Summerfest and going on vacation to Arizona?

Flagstaff has a music festival on June 19-20 and a folk festival on June 26-27.

Phoenix is holding the Official Twilight Convention on June 18-20.

The Diamondbacks are having home games:
Mon. June 21 vs Yankees (6:40 p.m.)
Tue. June 22 vs Yankees (6:40 p.m.)
Wed. June 23 vs Yankees (6:40 p.m.)

Arizona has a lot of parks and recreational events going on in the summer:
http://www.arizonaguide.com/events-calen...

Let Milwaukee politicians know they should fix their own problems and keep their noses out of Arizona's business by voting with your wallet. Visit Arizona this summer before the Borg collective - I mean... the Federal government moves in to take over.

KTM....I work in Arizona. Illegals are not "killing blue collar workers" there. Arizona is a right to work state. Therefore, only the illegals will work for the non-union, crap wages that their jobs pay. 99% of non-Latinos who are offered these jobs run the other way.

The law is a tool. So many LEGAL citizens down there are having there asses handed to them by illegals, and the effects thereof, so why is it so wrong for the state to adjust to help it's citizens? If too many people were speeding on your street, then you would complain until the authorities cracked down on it, but oh wait a minute! This isn't peace loving and push over, and it's not politically correct or something, and 'they' just want to find work and bla bla bla...! It is not about skin color, and people need to be more realistic. Good for Arizona on being tough, and it's about time! I feel sad for the USA citizens who have lost their lives because of these illegals.

If concensus is a key to decision making in this country (supposed to be anyway), then look at how many people are supporting Arizona. That state isn't even crossing the line as they are only enforcing existing laws anyway, with a newer emphasis.

I'm with the rest of you. If Milwaukee does this 'grand-standing' thing then I will boycott Milwaukee. I won't just talk either, I mean it.

Illegals are slowly killing off blue collar workers. I will boycott Millwaukee if this goes through, this state is screwed up.

here is how websters defines 'liberalism' and i dont see where it says anything about a mental disorder.

1 : the quality or state of being liberal
2 a often capitalized : a movement in modern Protestantism emphasizing intellectual liberty and the spiritual and ethical content of Christianity b : a theory in economics emphasizing individual freedom from restraint and usually based on free competition, the self-regulating market, and the gold standard c : a political philosophy based on belief in progress, the essential goodness of the human race, and the autonomy of the individual and standing for the protection of political and civil liberties; specifically : such a philosophy that considers government as a crucial instrument for amelioration of social inequities (as those involving race, gender, or class) d capitalized : the principles and policies of a Liberal party
— lib·er·al·ist \-b(ə-)rə-list\ noun or adjective

just sayin...

Congrats to the MCC for having the courage to consider this. It was the threat of boycott that finally got this goofy place to adopt Martin Luther King, Jrs birthday as a national holiday. They were of course the last to go along with the rest of the civilized nation. Living three miles away, I witness their stone age politics daily.

I for one will be searching for Arizona products
and will go there on vacation again.
Milwaukee should worry about losing Harley
and stay out of other peoples business.

Oh gee wizz Milwaukee...get real.
AZ should boycott your beer, then see who changes their mind.
It's about time someone steps up to the plate on this issue...
Uhhh as in what part of "ILLEGAL" don't these people understand.

Guess that means that when the Brewers play Arizona, nobody should go to the stadium? And then maybe, the Brewers shouldn't go to Arizona to play the Diamondbacks. Heck, just go ahead and kick the Diamonbacks out of the MLB, likewise, get rid of the Cardinals and the Suns. Why just stop there, kick AZ out of the United States. All because a state wants to STOP ILLEGAL entry across its borders. Everybody complains about the illegals but when someone goes ahead and does something, well, shame on them. Do we want illegal aliens entering our country or not? YES OR NO?

what a joke. we waste time discussing and judging what other states do?? please. i agree w mentor. the feds wont step up an do something az has no choice. we should all pass laws like this and show the federal government how much we dont need them...

Seriously... another police officer was shot by illegal immigrant drug smugglers. If the United States will not police its borders, then Arizona has no choice but to do it themselves. What is so wrong with making people obey the law once in a while? Is it that much of a shock that Milwaukee, the city with the highest crime rate in Wisconsin is promoting something that can only result in more lawlessness?
