An Illinois state senator has weighed in on the Arizona Immigration Bill, calling for the White Sox to move out of Glendale because of the law. State Senator Mark Sandoval says that Illinois taxpayers should not spend money in Arizona if that state is going to ask state law officers to enforce federal immigration law. Something, apparently, that Illinois law officers do not do.
In the Chicago Tribune yesterday, Sandoval said that he thinks the Sox should quit training there, and even went so far as to suggest that Illinois should not continue to fund US Cellular Field if they do not. The White Sox are two years into a long term lease that would require them to pay millions of dollars should they pull out of Glendale, AZ.
This comes from a state that has difficulty putting a someone in the governorship who is not a crook. And who also has trouble funding its own educational system according to the state constitution and paying its bills on time.
I do give the Tribune credit for using the line, "...requiring local police to enforce federal law." That is what this controversy is really all about. The law is nothing more than federal law already, but it now requires AZ officers to enforce it, something that EVERY LAW ENFORCEMENT ENTITY should be doing already.
In the meanwhile, I wish Al Sharpton would go home. Nothing good comes when he shows up somewhere.
Keep your eyes upon the doughnut, my friends.
