immigrants they passed the law because of crime. they want to fight drug trafficking. how are you going to top drug trafficking by going after people who. laura: i think there are a have a right of reasons. law enforcement enforcement it make informs no sense. 90% of the illegal drugs in america come through mexico. if you look at giuliani s broken windows effect. fix the window and break up the mob osen the street and end murder. we do it with immigration law. if we do it everywhere we won t. laura: i think arizona will be the first of many states to go down this road. i hope so. laura: next on the rundown could arizona and its boycott actually have a negative financial impact on the state? our fox business experts are on the case. later, a massive discrimination suit against wal-mart says the retailer pays female workers far less than their male colleagues. is it legal will analyze when we come back. xú@ honda accord and y
laura: i m personally considering bringing my entire radio staff on a long weekend retreat to one of the great spas in like care-free arizona just to lodge my support for what they are doing. listen, i m all for an arizona spa. i have no problem with it. laura: come on. here is what i don t get. you have congressman who are supposed to be representing the do tucson area, right? and he is pushing this boycott. now, you are a congressman, you are supposed to be representing the people of your state and presumably the people of the state, who are legal residents of the state. but, instead, we see that congressman grijvala lee janses lie in the open radical open borders movement. he is so ideological he doesn t realize he is taking food out of the mouths of immigrant families who work down there and need that business to be down there. like you said before, arizona was really hard-hit by the great recession.
bay terminate contracts with arizona businesses immediately. it s all nonsensical. look, people have a right to lodge their opposition to this and any other law they think is unfair. this is after all what hundreds of thousands did during the health care debate. but the proposed boycott of arizona is a cheap publicity stunt, not to mention illogical and counter productive. those of us who support arizona s crackdown on illegal immigration should encourage our own states to adopt similar measures. after all, if states can t help enforce the very immigration laws that congress has passed, then the concept of national sovereignty and the rule of law are totally meaningless. that s the memo. now to the top story tonight reaction. with us now is alfonzo ago glar. the executive director of the latino partnership for conservative principles and congressman steve king, a ranking member of the house immigration subcommittee. gentlemen, good to see you. congressman king, since you are sitting ri

people who have in arizona illegally. what would you do? what we need is a uniquely conservative plan that is consistent with what ronald reagan believed in. that s that is let s secure our border. let s put all of our assets in the border. additional fencing, additional border patrol. but at the same time we need a guest worker program. because at the end, the root of the problem is. laura: so you would give them amnesty. that s fine but your answer is to make them legal. my question was very specific. this is the no spin zone. my question to you is if the people of the state want people who are there illegally to leave and they ask the government, governor, you have got to help us. we have a problem. our schools are overrun, our emergency rooms overtaxed 1.3 billion-dollar a year cost. we don t have the money. you are saying you can t do anything. once you cross the border you are untouchable? you can t be touched by law enforcement? laura, they didn t pass the law because of u
