Tea parties, backing the Arizona immigration bill

Arizona's SB 1070, the legislation that would allow law enforcement to demand proof of citizenship from anyone they find suspicious, is getting some clutch support from the local tea party movement.

From the Arizona Tea Party's page on how to rally for the bill:

We are asking for you to spread the word to see if anyone is available to come down there... to show your support of the bill.
They are meeting by the Arizona Flag on the House Lawn. Bring American Flags and signs if possible... Signs: We support "LEGAL" Immigration, In Mexico, You Must Be Legal... Why not here? - etc...
The call for protesters is a response to the teeming anti-SB 1070 protests outside of the Capitol.

So, here is one effort to give government more power that tea partiers are not pounding the pavement to oppose.

1. I'm still flabbergasted why these morons don't go after the businesses that actually do the hiring.
I mean do these people seriously think illegal immigrants FORCE themselves into these jobs?

I hate to break it to them but the problem starts here, not Mexico.

3. For the same reason they don't go after the banks. They're frauds.

4. That's not what their GOP overlords are interested in doing...
You can't see the strings, but these Baggers are puppets nonetheless.

2. And they're against big government.
Oh, wait, it's really about racism. I forgot. How silly of me.
