That's a part of it. We spend a fortune incarcerating felonious illegals here. Also a fortune on schooling and health care. If O wants to cut us a BIG check, I'd reconsider SB1070, but not until then.

Sprawling Drug-War Training Complex Planned for U.S-Mexico Border Posted by Bill Conroy - October 24, 2010 at 1:09 am Massive Facility Would Serve Law Enforcers, Military and Their Drones A company fronted by a former Navy SEAL is only a few weeks away from potentially gaining approval to develop a nearly 1,000-acre military and law enforcement training camp near the U.S. border in Southern California, less than a 20-minute drone flight from the sister border cities of San Diego and Tijuana. The camp, which would be developed in three phases at a cost of up to $100 million (some $15 million for Phase 1), is being billed by its developer as a privately operated, state-of-the-art training center that would employ up to 200 people and serve as economic boon to the small California border town of Ocotillo, located in Imperial County. But there appears to be a deeper agenda in play with this project that has far more to do with profiting off the drug war — and assuring its escalation along the border — than it does with benefiting the community of Ocotillo. The camp, proposed by a San Diego-based company called Wind Zero Group Inc., would be located on a 944-acre patch of high-desert land (which happens to be in a flood and earthquake zone) just south of a major Interstate Highway (8) and less than a dozen miles north of the Mexican border. The facility would include numerous shooting ranges allowing for some 57,000 rounds of ammunition to be fired off daily; a mock-up of an urban neighborhood for practices assaults; a 6-mile dual-use race track for teaching defensive and offensive driving (and for private-pay recreational use); enough housing and RV camper space (along with a 100-room hotel) to accommodate a small battalion of warriors; a 50-foot high, 28,000-square-foot “administrative” building; an 80-foot high observation and control tower; at least two heliports and a 4,000-foot airstrip. narcosphere.narconews.com I understand that crack recruits have already been training with the EM-50 Urban Assault Vehicle...

SB1070 was submitted to ALEC before it was introduced to the legislature. ALEC membership consists of state legislators from around the country and private companies, but most of the funding comes from private firms like CCA. Arizona reduced the maximum incarceration for this offense to much less than what the state typically requires for class 1 misdemeanors. The illegals will be back out on the streets. "According to Hough, the main difference between the final version of the Support Our Law Enforcement Act as signed into law in Arizona and the Sanctuary Cities Act that ALEC is promoting across the country is that the ALEC legislation carries more stringent penalties under the criminal trespass section than the Arizona law. Under the Sanctuary Cities Act’s criminal trespassing provision, first offences are still Class 1 misdemeanors, but there is no 20- to 30-day cap on incarceration as the final version of Arizona’s S.B. 1070 provides. Additionally, the Arizona legislation classifies subsequent offenses as misdemeanors and the Sanctuary Cities Act classifies repeat offenses as felonies, which carry lengthier terms of incarceration." inthesetimes.com
