Just when you thought Government couldn't intrude more....
A few years ago there was a splinter group of citizens calling for the secession of Arizona from the Union. This is right up their alley:
I read today where the U.S. 9th Circuit Court will hear a case involving Arizona's Illegal Immigrant Employment Law. Apparently some think a Federal Government should do things a State Government should have a say in.
148 years ago, a group of states decided State's Rights took priority over the Federal Government. A four year war ensued pitting brother against brother on U.S. soil.
This is exactly the same thing. Does a state have a right to govern itself without having a federal government jumping in and saying they have rule of authority over it? What if the federal government said no one could hire any undocumented alien? Would a state try and overrule the federal government? Should they? Does a state have the right to enact and enforce it's own laws?
If we, as a state, cannot enact and enforce our own laws, why does each state have it's own government? Why doesn't the U.S. Congress enact all state's laws as federal laws and abolish all forms of state government? They can't do much worse in the finance department.
If Arizona does remove itself from the U.S. Government, we could print our own money and it would be worth just as much as the paper it is printed on. At least an Arizona dollar would be worth more than a U.S. dollar.

I am a state employee, and regard your safety as the highest goal to achieve each and every day. I have been a news reporter for print, audio and television media. I despise any media outlet reporting partial or erroneous material(s). Hockey is my passion (not as a participant), and my sons are playing and learning. Go 'Yotes!
