Arizona Daily Wildcat
by Kara Karlson
Rep. J.D. Hayworth, R-Ariz., seems to be one of the few members of the Arizona delegation to Congress who offers any real solutions to the illegal immigration problem that does not involve the ill-advised call for amnesty that was repeatedly followed in the mid-1980s and only resulted in millions of illegal immigrants currently residing in this country.
And illegal immigration is a problem. A big, ever more expensive problem in the way of illegal immigrants collecting on benefits, clogging our justice system and bringing more violent crime (as if Tucson's crime rate wasn't high enough because of our own home-grown criminal scum).
"Enforcement First," the bill Hayworth unveiled at the end of September, tackles a lot of key immigration issues. It overrides so-called "sanctuary laws" by authorizing state and local officials to arrest illegal aliens.
