My daughter is moving to Arizona for college what is the cheapest way for her to travel?|||The cheapest way to travel to AZ would be to drive. Gas prices might be high, but airfare is much more costly. Your method of transportation might be dependant on how much stuff she has to bring with her and if she's allowed to have a car on campus. If you prefer airplanes and you have a few weeks, surf the web to get the best deals. The cheapest days to fly are in the middle of the week. Check out these websites for airfare or check out the last website for the cheapest gas along the way.|||truthfully, i guess walking would be.
lol. you didnt say your starting point.
I'm applying for a job in Arizona, but currently live in California. The job itself is a really good fit. But they ask in the application to explain why I want to move to Arizona if I don't already live there. What are some good reasons to give? The position is in Phoenix.|||- less air pollution - some asthma sufferers live there due to the relatively healthy air.
- less traffic compared to LA or SF (though Phoenix is more car oriented)
- lower cost of living
- lower density / more likely to find a suburban-style single family home (good or bad depends on your perspective)
- no earthquakes
- Phoenix has one of the highest population growth rates in the US -> more investment opportunities in the future.|||If your from Ca don't come to AZ. We already have to many from your state wanting to change AZ to be like CA. STAY PUT!|||You like rattlesnakes.
You like scorpions
You like rats and mice.
You like living in an oven.
If you are talking about Phoenix area.
you like traffic, and stress, and crowded places.
I took a job and sold everything within 6 months to escape that hell hole.|||Living in Arizona helps you appreciate how nice the other 49 states really are.
Better not say that on the application though.|||I'd say that you would like to live in an area with better job growth, that the job is a better fit for you, and you still want to stay in your area of the country, the Southwest.|||great people great wheather of course the most awesome state around!
I just applied to Arizona State and realized my major is at the West campus which isnt the main campus. Is west less fun, and less of the college experience?|||There is no difference, its a party school...go to school, get a education, try to get good grades, graduate, and the get on with your life...Schools not about partying, school is about making something of your life and becoming something...
Just moved to Arizona from Michigan and am amazed at the red sunsets and blue skies during the day. In Michigan, the daytime skies were often grayish/white and the sunsets were pale. Does this have to do with pollution or elevation? I'm thinking pollution because I can see more stars out here too.|||Lack of air pollution|||Strangely enough, pollution will make sunsets even more red and the sky grayer.
The feature that you describe in Arizona is most likely due to the geography. The mostly flat unobstructed land mass appear to make the sun appear farther away and thus increase scattering making sunsets redder. You see more common red sunsets on the west coast beaches too compared to unleveled areas in california.|||my teacher said the pollution but i doubt it.|||Often in the desert the dry dust in the air makes the sunsets red. I don't know why the skies are so blue, but i noticed it also. Perhaps lack of constant cloud cover out in the desert.|||A girl from Connecticut said the same thing when she came to Michigan. The skies are not blue and the sunsets are ugly. I don't think it is pollution though, considering the skies are the same way in the UP where there isn't much pollution at all. Michigan just has ugly weather. :-)|||I live in Phoenix. We learned in school it's the angle of the sun and the amount of dust in the air. Makes you appreciate all the dirt around here. Not the pollution.
Several pots where found in a cave in Arizona in the 1950's. One is a black pots with a handle connecting 2 pots one looks like a cat. One is about 2 feet round and has a design on it. The last one has water damage.|||You'll only get vague estimates.
Unfortunately, pot hunters by stealing from sites, destroy nearly all historical context.
My husband and I want to move to Arizona. He is a carpenter an I am a painter and we wanted to know what kinda wage we should ask for when appling for jobs. Also, where is the best place for that kinda work, but I don't really want to live in Phoenix.|||considering the construction slowdown, there are a lot of painter and construction people changing professions right now. there's no work and arizona is no different than other regions. if you know someone there in that business it would
definetly help, but to go there cold is risky. unfortunately, the phoenix area is your best bet for work. if you want to move out west somewhere, there is a town in texas ( i can't remember the name ), that is experiencing a huge construction boom due to the increase in oil prices which makes drilling very profitable now. they are hiring people on the spot at good wages, both in the oil business and construction industry.it's a smaller town in texas, just wish i could remember where. do some research, you'll find it. good luck to you both.|||Depends. With it being a right to work state no one needs licenses to work unless they are an owner, plus w/ all the illegals here construction trades have a hell of alot of competition. Most places, DOE, start out between 8-15 an hour for painting. I dont know about carpentry. Are you in the union? Prevailing wage isnt even much here due to over population. Union jobs average 18 starting.
I live in CA and we are already suffering with too many of there parasites. Is their no plan to keep the Arizona mass-exodus from bleeding over to us?|||Or us here in Texas too, i'll man my borders if called to, call me a racist, bigot, whatever I don't care. What I care about is Texas, Texans, and fellow Americans.|||Well Arizona just passed their new law but apparently its not ok for a state to do something like fixing their immigration without the federal government getting any credit.|||Just make Mexico the 51st state and avoid the problem|||All plans are off because we have a do-nothing right president!
what type of material to I need to know to pass the 9th grade in Arizona? Like fractions? graphing? integers and proportions, inverse, identity, reel numbers, whole numbers and such? or must I know more advanced stuff? I am in 8th grade now.
please explain what I must know, and what I mite learn.|||You're in the 8th grade now...why don't you wait to worry about the 9th grade later? It all depends on the classes you're gonna take. You know you'll have the essentials like English, math, science, history (or geography to start out), PE of some sort (it could be a PE-related class) or a sport, and elective (such as a language). I wouldn't stress about it now while you're in the 8th grade.|||relax man. im sure youll pass anyway. if your askin these kind of questions im sure your bound to pass. worry about the now. dont get ahead of yourself brother.|||As far as I know, nothing to pass 9th. With the "no child left behind" act, you will pass 9th, 10th and 11th. You need to worry about how many credits you will have in your senior year, then you will know if you earn a diploma or not. Find out what classes are being offered for the next year in your upcoming school so you can get a heads up.
How do students dress on the first day of school at Arizona State University?
It will be like 120 degrees, so does that mean girls will be going to class in their bikinis or something?!|||It will be hot, so most of the students will probably be in shorts with cool tops. I don't think you'll see girls in classes in their bikinis.|||Yup Bikinis...it's the #1 party school so some ppl actually go naked!|||As someone who grew up here, it's only practical to wear shorts and a tank or tee. Just be comfy.|||There is air conditioning. Shorts and a tee or tank top will be fine.|||Its college not grade school..is someone going to have pick your outfits too and walk you to school?|||i plan on wearing shorts and an ASU shirt with short sleeves.
I am looking to ship my horse from Tampa Florida to around the Grand Canyon Arizona area. I am looking for an estimated price. Please NO gessing I need to know if i can afford it or if I need to get a second job. I cant leave my horse behind. Thank You|||It's usually about a dollar a mile. You can use Mapquest to find out how approximately how many miles it is.
I recommend using http://www.travelinghorse.com/ to get a quote.|||It's probably less if you cremate it. I heard UPS has a great dead horse shipping policy. Plus the weight will be greatly reduced for Priority Mailing.
Love,
Horselover3219 ;(|||I know for me, in Canada, to travel only two hours was 160.
But that was a steal. Most often it's 100 an hour.
You need to contact some trailering services in the area.
Have exact addresses.,
No one here can give you exact.
You need to do this yourself.
Google: Horse Trailering in [insert your current area here].
Then talk to the people to figure it out.
Good luck and safe travelling.|||Try USHIP.com. You put in the zip codes and it gives you an estimate. My trainer says you can't be in a hurry becuase they fill empty spots and bring your horse when they have one. I haven't used them before, and she said one site like that is good and one is bad, so I'd ask around some more to find out which is which, but at least it will give you an idea.
http://www.uship.com/|||Try uship you can get a quote. Google uship|||It cost me $1500 to ship my horse from Michigan to Montana a couple of years ago with Nation-Wide Horse Transport. It ain't cheap. And, like someone mentioned, you don't get to choose specific pick up and delivery dates as they work around their schedule. Additionally, they usually don't deliver directly but rather take it to a hub where the horse might stay for a day or three and then go out to your destination on another truck.
Ok so when hurricane Dean hit Jamaica my friends and I thought we should Send clothes over to the victims...Only problem is we dont know how much money we need to raise to ship the clothes over to Jamaica from Arizona!
Does anyone know the price?|||Well if you are sending charity you are supposed to have no problem or cost having them cleared at customs. The shipping cost from there should be dependent upon the weight of the package. Check the site below to see.|||Check with Air Jamaica|||Jamaicans HATE hand me down clothes. Trust me.
If you love Jamaica and the Jamaican people... then travel there and spend some money on the island.
The storm was really only a glancing blow, although some cities and communities along the south side of the island got hit very badly.
I mean, I've heard about people's reactions about the law that the Arizona governor passed through not to long ago, but I haven't found anything that says what the law is.|||Read the bill, Arizona senate bill 1070
It basically says that illegal entry into the usa is also against state law and gives the police the authority to verify legal citizenship of those stopped for other offenses of the law. Penalty assessments can be added along with deportation
There will be no racial profiling or mass arrests, just enforcement of existing federal laws, and now state, at the state and local police level|||The Latino or Hispanic community is against the law mostly but no one has interviewed other immigrant groups that are not Latino who can also run across the border. The law gives police the power to arrest someone for violating immigration law only if that person is under suspicion of committing a crime or violation. The police have to prove there was a reasonable suspicion through his contact with the suspects, he has to ask for any I.D. and after that can ask for immigration papers or a green card which people should always carry. It stands to reason if someone is a legal resident he would have some type of I.D., even a State I.D., social security card, employee ID or something. I think the problem of ranchers property being destroyed and breached should be resolved by electric fencing or barbed wire atop the fencing. I think Miki said it quite well, the local cops are trying to solve the illegal problem that the ICE agents wont do. Since they cannot deport anyone, they can now arrest them for being here illegally if they are suspected of criminal activity. Before now, they had to hand them over to ICE and all they do is release them.|||the law states the same thing that the federal does....that you must be documented to be in the country unless you were born here. but a federal law can only be enforced by federal government and the states cannot arrest or enforce breaking of the law....since our federal government cannot seem to handle this...Arizona passed it as a state law so state cops can handle the problem of people being in the state illegally.|||Here are some of the new law's main provisions signed by Arizona Republican Gov. Jan Brewer Friday. It takes effect mid-summer.
Makes it a crime under state law to be in the country illegally by specifically requiring immigrants to have proof of their immigration status. Violations are a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $2,500. Repeat offenses would be a felony.
Requires police officers to "make a reasonable attempt" to determine the immigration status of a person if there is a "reasonable suspicion" that he or she is an illegal immigrant. Race, color or national origin may not be the only things considered in implementation. Exceptions can be made if the attempt would hinder an investigation.
Allow lawsuits against local or state government agencies that have policies that hinder enforcement of immigration laws. Would impose daily civil fines of $1,000-$5,000. There is pending follow-up legislation to halve the minimum to $500.
Targets hiring of illegal immigrants as day laborers by prohibiting people from stopping a vehicle on a road to offer employment and by prohibiting a person from getting into a stopped vehicle on a street to be hired for work if it impedes traffic.

@ los mojados
what about the above is "twisting the truth"? have you even read the entire bill? i have. and no one supports illegal immigration. the whole point of supporting comprehensive immigration reform is to get rid of illegal immigration|||It says that unlike in the past, if you are being checked out for a crime, the police can demand ID and check it for immigration status. That's it. They can't go around on the street like the GESTAPO or any other crap they have you believing. They wouldn't want to anyway, especially with all of the scrutiny they are under.|||First of all, I don't understand why everyone who tried to defend the legal immigrants gets thrown out of the blogs because of the low ratings......
I just wanted to say to all of you who are born and raised in United States, as well as your family...
Imagine that you have a darker skin, maybe brown eyes and black hair. You speak English perfectly and you have been a US citizen your entire life. Then, after a law that has been signed, people start looking at you differently, even treat you like if you were disgusting. On top of that, a police man stops you on the street and asks you for your papers and you show them to him, so OK, problem solved.
But, imagine that EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE. You have to prove EVERY DAY that you are a US citizen. And worst, you have to be treated like trash from everybody who sees you with your dark hair and automatically thinks that you're illegal....
What does it feel?????
By the way, for all of you who are screaming "I don't feel secure with so many illegals here committing crimes!", I must tell you they are not the only criminals. Look up on the Internet the worst crimes ever committed or a list of serial killers, the vast majority of them were Americans....
Spanky, I don't think you got it. I am AGAINST illegal immigration..............I don't think it is fair to you, but I think you also need to see my point. I am legal but I have to put up with everyone treating me like trash, INCLUDING YOU! If you want respect, you better show respect also.|||The law requires state and local police to determine the status of people if there is "reasonable suspicion" that they are illegal immigrants and to arrest people who are unable to provide documentation proving they are in the country legally.
It also makes it a crime to transport someone who is an illegal immigrant and to hire day laborers off the street.|||It gives local law enforcement the authority to stop individuals, really without cause or reasonable suspicion, and ask for proof of their residency status. The bill states that there should be "reasonable suspicion" but we all know that is a weak requirement. Don't speak spanish in AZ.
Sound familiar? See: Nazi Gestapo|||this chick above me needs to shut the hell up. your talking about serial killers? thats not the crimes anyone is talking about tard. First off, they are criminals for even being here Illegally, making ALL of them criminals. Illegal immigrants account for a HUGE portion of rapes, theft and murders. Not to mention make up quite a chunk of the drug and gang population. The pay zero in taxes, and leach off those of us who actually do pay. anyone who defends Illegal immigrants needs to be deported as well. Im tired of being an American citizen whos entitled to less rights that a person who shouldnt even be here,|||Spanky, shut the hell up.
There is a reason why people come to the U.S. They want a better life, and want to live in a place where they can raise their kids to be the best, and they shouldn't be chastised by people like you just because you were here first. People don't realize that. They just see it as "omg they don't pay taxes, they don't even work, they don't do anything" Honestly, how many immagrants do you know that are like that?
I'm all for people from mexico coming here trying to make something better of themselves. ALL for it. But if they are going to abuse their welcome by not doing anything, go do it where you did it originally..
The people that I have met who have moved here from not just mexico, but el salvador, an Honduras, showed that they actually wanna be here for a better life, and do so much to prove it. I don't know where people get that mexicans are lazy and don't work. I think that's the biggest myth of them all, because any mexican I know (who's not a US citizen) will work 18 hours a day for 3.00 and hour because they are hard workers, and a majority of them do that so that their kids can go to school.|||It is about time we enforce our immigration laws. Nice of David to provide the link to the bill. The only problem I can see is the "any legitimate contact" phrase. How will that play out. Cops id'ing every latino they see? That doesn't work for me. But I don't know if that's how it will be enforced.
Many answers here are from people who believe anyone who wants to come here should be allowed. I think that's naive and dangerous. We take in a million a year legally (all nationalities, as it should be). How many resources and how much infrastructure will that alone consume?
If I'm a racist because I don't believe we should have open borders, then I'll wear that moniker proudly.|||Spanky is a complete idiot.
I understand where you are coming from as well Vita. Thank god I live in Illinois. I would tell a police officer to suck my ... if one ever came up to me randomly asking for identification. Stupid law that's aimed at Mexicans and violates their rights.|||Evelyn...US code Section 1304(e) already requires aliens to have identification at all times. US code 1324 allows states to enforce immigration law. Why don't you just acknowledge you support illegal immigration and stop twisting the truth.|||http://www.azleg.gov/legtext/49leg/2r/su鈥?/a>|||Spanky said it best.

It can't be Hispanics because according to the federal government's census Hispanic is not a race. My ancestors went to South America before they came to the states and they were as white as can be.
The Census Bureau defines "Hispanic or Latino" as "a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race."
Since illegals can be any color how can this Arizona law be considered racial profiling?|||It is a desperate attempt to paint a civil enforcement action as a racial profiling action. It is a form of intimidation intended to distract from the fact that Arizona has been invaded. It is the typical kind of dirty trick that libs invoke when they have no logical argument.|||Obama and his Cabal are playing the race card as usual, and obviously condones illegal drug trade, murder and illegal immigrants|||Excellent. Now let's see if anyone in the media will ask this question.|||Because they will be looking for black haired brownish people with brown eyes.|||How long did it take you to think up this nonsense argument?

To me, it appears that Obama just doesn't care about the state of Arizona.|||It certainly appears that way. Bush or any of the other Presidents have not dealth with the problem like they should have. The Republicans want the cheap labor and Democrats want the Hispanic vote. The problems have escalated and Obama needs to deal with it. The American people have it right, secure our borders. In my opinion, Obama is sacrificing the state of Arizona for the Hispanic vote.|||Immigrants make Liberal votes. Illegals can be turned into legals and they will knee jerk vote for the one that allowed them citizenship. Actually Bush was going to do that too-probably because he knew if he didn't, the Democrats would. A reliable way to get millions of supporters.
It has been traditionally assumed that Americans-especially the domestic ones, will just sit and do nothing while they are insulted this way. Politicians are inclined to fix the squeaky wheel and take the others for granted.|||Apparently they are.
Obama does not like anyone who dares to question him.. this is why he is going against this woman governor.. how dare she not bow to him.
What an *** he is.. just a big bully.
he doesn't give a damn ab out the people of Arizona or what they live with daily on their doorsteps, he is so busy saving the illegals. Well, why doesn't he go be president of Mexico then. Stupid, stupid man!|||Yes, he could care less about the protection of American citizens from the likes of illegal aliens. More Americans have lost their lives to illegals than in both wars. Go to VOIAC and humancost.org and see the lives that obama and bush have helped to ruin by not enforcing the laws!|||He cares about the U.S. Constitution more than the state of Arizona.
Did you know that Bush said that the Constitution was just a piece of paper? He was frustrated that his staff kept objecting to the things he wanted to do, saying that they were un-Constitutional.|||I'ver met some of the citizens of Arizona and if i had my way, I would kick them out and allow the so-called illegals to occupy the state.

Just moved to Arizona. Never seen a Phoenix bird tattoo before. Here though, I've seen the bird, the abbreviation of the city PHX, the state flag, the actual state, all these tattoos as a representation of the state of Arizona, and I can't help but ask, what's the deal? I've been all over the country and never seen people who tattoo tributes to their state.|||wow i've lived in az my whole life (23 years) and never seen it... maybe the people you're around? i'll be on the lookout now that youve mentioned it|||Because we're proud to live in our state, that's why.

I just moved to a house in Kingman, Arizona and have found that the weather here is much cooler (almost like Southern California weather), so I would like to plant some trees (possibly lemons and those trees that bloom white flowers), but not sure what would survive out here.|||I lived in Kingman for 8 years once. You have to shelter from the wind and the heat. I lived north of town out towards the Duval Copper mine where I worked.
I had several fruit trees and a vegetable garden.
Make sure the soil has plenty of humas so it wont dry out and your house or something blocks from the wind.
I lived out near what was then the inspection station and the wind blew 7 days a week 365 days a year. That was the enemy to growing anything in the hot summer. Water water Water. I lived there around 1968-1976, Good luck|||Acacia, creosote and agave are common to the landscape. Stay with native plants as they will survive the longest. Citrus fruits should be fine as long as you keep them watered. You may also consider dwarf citrus trees as an alternative to waiting for the tree to grow to full-size. See the links below for additional info. Good luck.|||To help water deeply, consider placing a 2-3 foot plastic pipe, 3-4 inches in diameter near the tree, and water into it. And be sure to use mulch to help cool the ground under the tree.|||Head for your nearest full time garden center and ask for advice.
Look around where you live to see what is growing.
Walk around the area and talk to local gardeners.

What is the penalty if there is any, for an employer, giving an employee a check that they know cannot be cleared by the bank, in Arizona?|||For failing to pay wages, an employee could sue and get triple damages. So, if the paycheck was $1,000, the employee could theoretically get $3,000.

Obama is the only leader not calling Arizona pre-Nazi. Obama is being to classy for me. We know exactly why Arizona passed that law. To get rid of brown-skinned people. Plain and simple.|||Sometimes people in power just can not come out with the truth with out a lot of legal entanglements .
I live in the South West though NOT AZ Thank God .
And I agree with you 100%.
edit : In my opinion they are Nazi's|||To handle their illegal alien problem actually. As to Mexico, what the United States and the individual states do is none of their business - unless Obama is planning on selling off part of the US - you know the part he doesn't seem to like - the South. You should appreciate that as someone who holds anti American sentiment. It is also comforting to know that 20 other states are considering legislation similar to Arizona and in fact one state already implemented it in 2007 - but you don't want to talk about that I daresay.
If you feel so strongly, move there and finish your education and find out the real truth and reality of those who have to deal with the violence and crime.|||Since you are so informed about the Arizona issue, you should know the term is pro-Nazi not pre-Nazi unless it's some obscure reference to the antisemitism of the Weimar Republic era.
Who is "we"? People that are governed by fear and ignorance rather than fact? If "we" came to this conclusion with Hitlers racism against the Jews, "we" would have scores speeches of Hitler's rants with actual hate against the Jews, rolls of film of brown shirts harassing Jews, "Jude" being painted on stores windows by the brown shirts and ignorant propaganda films and posters against them. In other words REAL evidence.
What were the things that made it soooo clear that racism was behind Arizona's SB1040? Was it the 10 million illegals that stream across the boarder each year? Was it the high crime rate on the border? Was it the social services that are soaked up by illegals? Was it the black market jobs lost to illegals? Was it the exploitative environment and 2nd class citizenry that illegals endure because they didn't come through the front door? Was it the security checks that weren't done because they are here illegally? Was it the bypassing of the melting pot which has been the secret to immigration success in this country? Was it the training police officers have to go through in learning how to enforce the law? Is it the drug cartel snipers on hills that are now shooting at boarder agents? Is it the sense that immigrants should be following the law just like everyone else? Was it the restrictive conditions officers have to go through before checking for citizenship?
Why hasn't there been one peep out of Arizona about curtailing legal entry of aliens if they are so interested in getting rid of brown-skinned people? Think about it. Making decisions on fear and what you want to believe instead of fact shows you still have some growing up to do.
No, I don't agree with Obama about Arizona. I don't even care about what Mexico thinks. The Constitution is there for the people of the United States, not the people of the Mexico or the world. Mexico's "offense" at the whole illegal alien issue is bogus anyway. Being an illegal alien in Mexico means jail time in their country. It has nothing to do with rights for illegal aliens to the US. It has everything to do with economics. Mexico WANTS it's people in the US so it doesn't have to take care of them. The aliens also send back money that goes into the Mexican economy. There is also a sense that the boarder is illegitimate anyway. Many Mexicans still have this feeling that the Southwest is somehow still theirs. They feel that they are being kept off their land (at least emotionally) and should have free right of passage.|||None of the tax paying base is going to support this, or anyone who can think for themselves would support this. Oh yea and anyone that actually knows what the United States is and stands for and what they are actually giving up would support this and no we aren't racist. And if anyone that does support this who doesn't plainly see an alterior motive needs to take the next plane out of this country and let the Mexicans stay in there place.|||If YOU feel so strongly about it, then YOU pay for them.
YOU won't mind taking a second job to pay for them, will YOU?
YOU deal with the costs of their medical care. YOU deal with the costs of their illegal activities. YOU deal with the costs of our education systems. YOU deal with the costs to our courts. YOU deal with the costs of the violence. YOU deal with it.This is America, and YOU are free to do so, right?
Then YOU deal with it, but don't expect everyone else to. Times are tough enough as it is.
Plain and simple.|||um if your illegal your already taking the chance of being deported duh?
lmfao Arizona is just stating what the obvious is ....if you get pulled and y0ur not a citizen of the united states of America then you need to get deported back to your country

Just moved to Arizona from Michigan and am amazed at the red sunsets and blue skies during the day. In Michigan, the daytime skies were often grayish/white and the sunsets were pale. Does this have to do with pollution or elevation? I'm thinking pollution because I can see more stars out here too.|||Lack of air pollution|||Strangely enough, pollution will make sunsets even more red and the sky grayer.
The feature that you describe in Arizona is most likely due to the geography. The mostly flat unobstructed land mass appear to make the sun appear farther away and thus increase scattering making sunsets redder. You see more common red sunsets on the west coast beaches too compared to unleveled areas in california.|||my teacher said the pollution but i doubt it.|||Often in the desert the dry dust in the air makes the sunsets red. I don't know why the skies are so blue, but i noticed it also. Perhaps lack of constant cloud cover out in the desert.|||A girl from Connecticut said the same thing when she came to Michigan. The skies are not blue and the sunsets are ugly. I don't think it is pollution though, considering the skies are the same way in the UP where there isn't much pollution at all. Michigan just has ugly weather. :-)|||I live in Phoenix. We learned in school it's the angle of the sun and the amount of dust in the air. Makes you appreciate all the dirt around here.

definetly help, but to go there cold is risky. unfortunately, the phoenix area is your best bet for work. if you want to move out west somewhere, there is a town in texas ( i can't remember the name ), that is experiencing a huge construction boom due to the increase in oil prices which makes drilling very profitable now. they are hiring people on the spot at good wages, both in the oil business and construction industry.it's a smaller town in texas, just wish i could remember where. do some research, you'll find it. good luck to you both.|||Depends.

I mean, I've heard about people's reactions about the law that the Arizona governor passed through not to long ago, but I haven't found anything that says what the law is.|||Read the bill, Arizona senate bill 1070
It basically says that illegal entry into the usa is also against state law and gives the police the authority to verify legal citizenship of those stopped for other offenses of the law. Penalty assessments can be added along with deportation
There will be no racial profiling or mass arrests, just enforcement of existing federal laws, and now state, at the state and local police level|||The Latino or Hispanic community is against the law mostly but no one has interviewed other immigrant groups that are not Latino who can also run across the border. The law gives police the power to arrest someone for violating immigration law only if that person is under suspicion of committing a crime or violation. The police have to prove there was a reasonable suspicion through his contact with the suspects, he has to ask for any I.D. and after that can ask for immigration papers or a green card which people should always carry. It stands to reason if someone is a legal resident he would have some type of I.D., even a State I.D., social security card, employee ID or something. I think the problem of ranchers property being destroyed and breached should be resolved by electric fencing or barbed wire atop the fencing. I think Miki said it quite well, the local cops are trying to solve the illegal problem that the ICE agents wont do.

Jan Brewer Friday. It takes effect mid-summer.
Makes it a crime under state law to be in the country illegally by specifically requiring immigrants to have proof of their immigration status. Violations are a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $2,500. Repeat offenses would be a felony.
Requires police officers to "make a reasonable attempt" to determine the immigration status of a person if there is a "reasonable suspicion" that he or she is an illegal immigrant. Race, color or national origin may not be the only things considered in implementation. Exceptions can be made if the attempt would hinder an investigation.
Allow lawsuits against local or state government agencies that have policies that hinder enforcement of immigration laws. Would impose daily civil fines of $1,000-$5,000. There is pending follow-up legislation to halve the minimum to $500.
Targets hiring of illegal immigrants as day laborers by prohibiting people from stopping a vehicle on a road to offer employment and by prohibiting a person from getting into a stopped vehicle on a street to be hired for work if it impedes traffic.

Then, after a law that has been signed, people start looking at you differently, even treat you like if you were disgusting. On top of that, a police man stops you on the street and asks you for your papers and you show them to him, so OK, problem solved.

I don't know where people get that mexicans are lazy and don't work. I think that's the biggest myth of them all, because any mexican I know (who's not a US citizen) will work 18 hours a day for 3.00 and hour because they are hard workers, and a majority of them do that so that their kids can go to school.|||It is about time we enforce our immigration laws.

"The Hohokam peoples occupied a wide area of south-central Arizona from roughly Flagstaff south to the Mexican border. They are thought to have originally migrated north out of Mexico around 300 BC to become the most skillful irrigation farmers the Southwest ever knew."
http://www.desertusa.com/ind1/du_peo_hoh鈥?/a>
The Mogollon Indians existed as a culture and tribe between 300 BC and 1400 AD. The lived in the area we call the Four Corners of the American southwest.
As a people they left no true written records and there was no one else to write down their history. They are part of the Anasazi, Hohokum and Pueblo people. Each had a distinct culture but with some general common characteristics
The term Anasazi comes from the Navaho Language and means "Ancient Enemies." The Pueblo Native Americans, who are descended from the Anasazi, prefer the term "Ancient Ones." The Anasazi lived in the American southwest, around the "Four Corners" area. That's the place Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah meet. Native Americans settled in the area at least 12,000 years ago. The began to use agriculture around 2500 - 3000 BC.
The Anasazi culture is dated between 100 AD to 1300 AD. It's demise is linked to a large drought that devastated the American southwest. Prior to these dates is what's termed the "Archaic period" when the Anasazi people lived as nomadic hunter and gatherers.
As farmers the people were supreme in growing corn beans, and squash
. They added to their food supply by hunting.
The Anasazi were the original cliff dwellers. They constructed their homes high up on the cliff sides with limited access. This form of housing was done later in their culture when migrating tribes such as the Apache and Navaho competed for the limited resources in the area.
The Culture is now divided into stages. The two main ones are the Basketmaker and Pueblo. Each stage has a number of intermediate ones. The Pueblo stages can be exactly dated. In fact it can be determined just how many years a pueblo was occupied.
In the Basketmaker stage, we know the Anasazi first lived pit houses. These are holes in the ground and are roofed over with wood, brush or hides. Houses were rectangular, projected above the ground and were entered through a hole in the roof. This hole also was used to let smoke out of the home. Normally a small tunnel was dug in the side of the house. This lead up to the surface and was used to ventilate the house. The people were farmers, growing corn, along with practicing hunting and gathering. They received the name "basketmakers" from the incredibly fine baskets that they made and used.
About 700 AD they changed their lifestyle and began to collect in larger settlements. They built pueblos, above ground buildings that were normally placed on high ground. These structures tend to be square and blocky in appearance. Most entry is by means of ladders. Each room is interconnected. This lifestyle differs from the other tribes in the area. Navahos, for example, prefer to live in widely separated dwellings call hogans. A number of pueblos were constructed during this period. The pueblo of Oraibi, Arizona was founded in the twelfth century. It is the oldest still inhabited town in the United States. Pueblo Benito, in New Mexico, is estimated to have had 800 rooms, 1,200 people and stood four and five stories high.
At the end of their culture, the pueblos were replaced by cliff dwellings. This appears due to the increased need for defense. The culture's end coincides to a twenty year period of drought. Where the Anasazi people dispersed to isn't know. Today they are considered to be the ancestors of the Zunis, Hopis, Pimas, and Papago tribes.
Much of the exact dating and information about the weather is due to the science of dendrochronology, tree rings. Basically, when the weather is wet, the tree rings are wide, showing rapid growth. During droughts, the rings are narrow. As the weather changes, it creates a unique series of rings. Science has created an "endless tree" for the Southwest. This shows the weather patterns back some 2,000 years. Given a sample, the actual dates that the tree lived and died can be established. Cores taken from the wood rafters of cliff houses can thereby be dated.
When the Spanish arrived, they first believed reports that the pueblos were the "Seven Cities of Gold." They conquered the Pueblo Peoples but were thrown out brief in a great revolt. The Zunis, Hopis, Prima, and Papago tribes still live in pueblos.|||Anasazi were around that time, but they were also around much earlier. The Pueblos are decendents of the Anasazi.
The Hohokam lived in the Phoenix area around that time, and much earlier. Unfortunately, there are two problems with that. One, I don't know of many caves around the Phoenix area, and two, Hohokam literally means = those who have left. Safe to say we don't know much about them.

I am visiting my aunt in Arizona, and I am staying for two weeks. What should I pack? I can do laundry.|||Use the professional traveler's rule of thumb when choosing luggage: A 24-inch bag for three to seven days; a 26- or 27-inch bag for seven to 14 days; and a 29- or 30-inch case for longer than two weeks.
Step2 Devise a color-coordinated wardrobe with pieces that mix and match. Choose two or three color schemes to allow each item in your suitcase to do double duty. Dress in layers so you can adapt to changing temperature. Bring enough underwear for each day of your trip unless you'll be doing laundry.
Step3 Zip zippers and button buttons. Cushion garments inside and out with plastic coverings from the dry-cleaners or fold them in tissue paper as the retail stores do to minimize wrinkling.
Step4 Roll or fold clothes to fit the suitcase. Start by folding the garment into a large rectangle, and then tightly roll from the bottom up. Fold less wrinkle-prone clothes (pajamas, jeans) and place on the bottom.
Step5 Create two sections for garments in the order in which you plan to wear the items. Fill corners and edges with shoes (bagged and stuffed with underwear and socks). Top off with delicate items.
Step6 Pack travel-size toiletries and first aid supplies, including sunscreen, pain relievers and bandages, in zipper-lock plastic bags for easy identification. Place these in zippered or netted areas inside the luggage top or in an outside compartment or pocket.
Step7 Stash important papers and documents, including passports, tickets and credit cards, in a single closable file or envelope.
Bring a money belt to keep your cash and travelers' checks safe while you and your hands are occupied. Photocopy passports (black-and-white copies only--color copies are illegal) and other ID and write down emergency numbers in case of loss or theft, and carry separately from real ones.|||If its July-August throw in an umbrella or light weight slicker if she lives anywhere from Phoenix south - thats our monsoon season and there will be rain.

Most patriots agree that the law was the right thing to do. However, whether it will have a positive or negative economic impact has not been determined. While getting rid of the illegals will lower the tax burden and cause more real Americans to move to Arizona, there are reports of large numbers of hotel cancellations, and that the cities of Los Angeles and Washington DC are no longer doing business and divesting from all Arizona based companies.
Do you think that the rule of law will stand or will liberal economic blackmail rule the day?|||Stop and think for a moment, the present cost of supporting illegal immigrants on the State of Arizona is what everyone seems to be ignoring. Let's start with schooling, both elementary and high school, the cost of maintaining the court system and the jails and prisons, not to mention the cost of hospitals and clinics. And let's not forget how have the cities of Los Angeles and Washington D.C. help support the State of Arizona, I ask you? Let me ask you, you address the supposedly large number of hotel cancellations, would you want to go to Arizona right now under the present circumstances, I don't think so, do you? And let me ask you how many booking were the cities of Washington D.C. and Los Angeles generating prior to the passing the new immigration law? I really don't think there were that many, do you? And as for business, I really don't think either city was doing very much business if any with Arizona, but do correct me if I'm wrong. I think the rule of law will prevail and I also think that honest businesses will start moving back to Arizona as well as Americans looking for a good place to live!|||Negative.

I am already paying 700 a month for two kids in Texas, and Arizona just ordered me to pay 700 a month for one kid. I only take home about 400 a week. Is this legal? I thought guide lines stated no more than half of my take home pay?|||You can contest it in court. But generally there is a baseline amount that the state government decided is enough for a person to lie off of each month. They will take as much money up to this point.|||2 states; 2 families; 2 garnishments. Go back to CYS and see; but odds are it's legal.
They gotta eat.|||This is kind of confusing how you stated this...are you paying a total of 1400 a month? The way states work is supposed to be decided on your pay that you show them in court. If you do not go to court they can make you pay what they see fit. My fiancee was not informed of his court case in Mo. when he was in Fl. and he couldn't make it. They had his current employer listed as a place making $400 a week also but they decided to use his former employer where he was making double that. So, they deemed his child support to be $700 a month when he was only making $1200 a month. The only way for him to change this is to go back to Mo. and ask for a review of it. They are very hard to deal with as they think that if a man appeals they are assumed to be a "deadbeat" not wanting to pay for their child(ren). Even though that is not the case but they see it that way. Even though my fiancee has proved to them and they know the paperwork states his employment at the time of the case they still decided to use the former employer from 8 months before the hearing. If you want to fight this you may need a lawyer or if at all possible go back to court. They will continue to screw you until you do so. All states are basically the same and they can take half of your take home pay. If you ask me it is BS but they can do it. Call your legal aid office or see if you can get a pro-bono lawyer to help you fight this otherwise you will continue to be screwed. Good Luck!!|||I am in Oklahoma so our laws for child support may be different, but Child support enforcement here say that if a non-custodial parent does not have a spouse they support, CSE can order 50% of your monthly income to be withheld to fulfill the obligation, 55% if back support is owed. Those numbers drop to 45% and 50% if you do have a spouse.
If you are married, they usually take into account your spouse's income. Reasoning being, that it "somehow" leaves more of your income available for Child Support.
I've noticed that the Cardinals are the only football team that says the state in the name.
Are there any other football teams that have the state name instead of the city?

there are other teams with state names. \ the AZ Cardinals were first called the phoenix cardnials..( I still have that t-shirt) it's an oldie but goody.. although there name was phoenix cardinals they played in Tempe,AZ. (sundevil staduim wheww!!!)
the owners then relized (as other teams with the same story) If they change the name to repensent the state you can "BLACK OUT" the whole state if attendence is poor.
if it is a city name, you can only block the tv channels for that city only. I would travel 100 miles out of phonenix just to see the game in tv (back in the old days) gotta love the Bidwells!!!!

Start going up north through Utah (Arches National Park, Bryce Canyon - stunning!), then go through Wyoming (most gorgeous state, arguably; Grand Tetons, perhaps? A little out of the way, but no place like it), South Dakota (Mt. Rushmore), Minnesota, then Wisconsin.
Beats the heck out of Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa.
Careful, though. Hope the weather doesn't mess things up.

I live in Texas and the state as a whole has done nothing to rid us, of this problem. Will those illegals from Arizona and Oklahoma actully return to Mexico if not deported? Are they just going to use up all the other resources from other states?
Also are there any more states going to up hold the rule of law?|||I'm sure some of the thick headed ones will venture into other states who seem more accepting instead of going home.....but blame Arizona and Oklahoma for enforcing the law and protecting their citizens.....heck no. They may get a flood of legal, law abiding citizens searching for a safe place to live. The more states illegals drain and turn to chaos....the more states will be forced to deal with it.|||Well, what's Texas waiting for?|||They will move to states where feckless politicians both dems and repubs do not have the courage to defend the citizens of their states.|||I've read that many of them are going back to Mexico, but some are just changing states. The Federal government should be behind these laws so it can be a universal thing. But at least its a start.|||Do not forget about Tennessee. No. What these states are doing is taking a stand that will encourage the illigals to go home. This is a trend starter much like what we have to deal with when California started the smoking ban and other social laws now in affect almost everywhere. Good for these states and hope the rest follow since our Federal Govnt will not do anything about it. We are being invaded and losing our national identity..|||I think Arizona and Oklahoma took action because the federal gov't didn't.
Is it possible that we are rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic and just pushing these criminals to states that haven't acted yet?
Yes.
Perhaps it will push the State of Texas to act. Irving Tx did!|||no i think they expect the other 48 states to join them in enforcing existing laws that the federal gov't refuses to enforce.|||I hope they go back to mexico, but, I fear they will simply move to states not actively looking for and deporting criminal illegal aliens.|||It is their prerogative. ALL states should be doing this, then we wouldn't still have a problem. The Federal Government wont enforce the laws.|||I don't blame them. The other states should start pushing them, too. Maybe we could push all of them back to where they came from.|||It's not just Arizona and Oklahoma.
There are a ton of states enacting laws regarding illegal aliens.

Go to the map and you'll see what I mean...and that's for 2006. 2007 has even more, but I'm still looking for the right link.
Edit: Found it.
And as of 2007, all 50 states are in the process of implementing legislation.
http://www.ncsl.org/programs/immig/2007S鈥?/a>|||I think they will move to other states. I'm in California and I think we should pass the same type of law that AZ and OK have passed. If all the states stick together and pass the same type of law, they will all self-deport.|||Yep, I think that is what is going to be happening. Arizona and Oklahoma will be rid of their criminal illegal aliens because they are migrating to other states.
That is why the rest of the 48 states need to take firm stands on getting rid of the illegal criminal aliens.|||My thought is this:
No matter what you do (in USA) IF mexican economy still being so far from USA economy NOTHING of what you do will ever stop this mexicans leaving the country.
The fact is that both countries are just side by side, united. You need to walk thru the border to see it and understand it, this is the same land.
I agree on having rules and protect people from criminals; but many (the 99% of mexican migrants) is good people, only too poor (many of them) and too ignorants to understand and see the danger on cross the border ilegally (and brake your laws). Many of them even have work in Mexico; but here they earn 10 dollars per day, while ehy can have the same in US per hour. Once again, the problem is the huge difference between mexican economy and US economy.
The only way to STOP ilegal migration is to develop and improve mexican economy (I agree about solution is not legalize them all).
Don't blame immigrants on poor administration, they are not responsibles for deficit in government. Don't begin to think like germans about jews just before nazi age.
Look on Europe, richer countries have been helping poor countries to develop, and eventualy open the borders without massive immigration. Northamerica should learn that, so this won't be an issue any more.
By the way; I think that YES, in short time you will see more ilegals in other states.|||We have a lot of work to do here in Texas. I hope so.|||If they are, it's not their fault - if the other states have a problem with illegals, the extra influx should force them to rethink their positions.

What do Liberals think Arizona should do? Just let them run free?|||... Illegal aliens have always been vulnerable to employers, who could work them 40 hours, pay them for 20, and threaten them with deportation if they complained. But at least that was all they faced.
The proposed Arizona bill makes every brown skinned person -- especially women and children -- a target for every nut case in Arizona. They can now be raped, robbed, and beaten, and threatened with deportation if they dare to call the police. Think about it.
You can't sanction that in good conscience!

It shows clearly where his heart is...|||No, Obama is not a political winner. What don鈥檛 these protesters understand? What exactly are they protesting? Are they protesting that ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS should be allowed in America without paperwork? Is this what they are rallying for? How much more anti-American can these people be? This is clearly an out of control situation and one that Obama seems to be relishing in.
America NEEDS a border, America NEEDS a language and America NEEDS a culture. By allowing a continuing, unabated flow of illegal immigrants into America, the economy is becoming more and more crippled with the burden of SUPPORTING these people - all at the expense of you and me - the tax payer.
The reaction to Arizona is shocking. They want to clean their state of illegal immigrants (because of drug dealing, gang activity, murder, kidnapping and rapes) - and it seems, according to the media, that the entire country is against this - but do not be fooled by this media attention - the tax payers are FOR this action - it is only those here ILLEGALLY who SHOULD have a problem with this. o_O|||No - it will prove that Obama is a clueless loser who is speeding like a runaway train toward political disaster.|||YES!
Obama is and has been hard at work for the conservatives since taking office.
He is continuing to bolster them, he is the best thing to happen to conservatives in the U.S.A. since Ronald Reagen.

I live in Arizona and have a Tipu tree that doring a wind storm half the tree broke off. The tree truck is about 12 inches across and went up to a y. One part of the y broke.

The new Arizona immigration law says that police are not allowed to engage in racial profiling, but I don't recall seeing any penalties if they do. Will the entire department lose their jobs? Will the governor right them a stern letter? Does a clause with no teeth have any bite?|||I think some of this excitement is stupid. This law was made to deal with the problems along the MEXICAN border. They aren't looking for red headed Irish folks sneaking across the border right? Who are they looking for? Use a bit of common sense here. Of course they are going to be more suspicious of someone of obvious Hispanic descent who doesn't speak english. I agree that it shouldn't be the only reason to stop or question someone but adds to the reasons. On the other side of the coin, there are others who may speak good english and not appear hispanic who should not be overlooked.|||Does any law have a stipulation for police who racial profile? the same thing that happens to other cops who racially profile will happen to them, actually they will probably get much sterner punishment because its such a hot issue. More than likely lose their jobs|||the new law does not have it in it as it is already on the law books under harassment. what you should say is why doesn't the law do enough to rid Arizona of illegals|||racial profiling is illegal everywhere. does it happen? of course. you do realize that federal law allows police to ask for documentation if they suspect you are an illegal? arizona didn,t invent this law. they are implementing a law that has been on the u.s.a. books for quite a while. obama didn,t mention this?|||You have been misinformed.|||They will get the same as any cop in any state that does: Kicked out of LE forever, probably a huge fine and have to go to court, and the eternal hatred of the hundreds of thousands of good cops that don't want a bad name from 1 bad apple.
I'm confused on why the USS Arizona battleship was more important than the other battleships. Please answer this question if you know the answer.Thxs!|||Its not that it was more important, its what happened to it. Over half the total casulties of that day were sustained in the sinking of the USS Arizona, claiming 1,177 lives. A high level bomber, or ''kate'', hit the front ammunition magazine with a modified 40mm explosive shell, it tore apart the front of the ship. its aquired more 'fame' for those reasons. The majority of the bodies were never removed and it is now a protected war grave, still on the floor of pearl harbor. There is a walkover visitor platform over the ship in pearl now, so people can visit and pay their respects.|||Minor error. the ship was hit by a 400mm or roughly 16" not a 40mm. Report Abuse
|||It really wasn't. Prior to it being destroyed on 12/7/1941 it helped form part of the battle-fleet, but was not the most powerful in the US Navy. That actually belonged to a group called the 'big five', the California, Tennessee, West Virginia, Maryland and Colorado.
The Arizona gained significance when it was destroyed by a bomb hit during the attack.|||It was sunk in Pearl Harbor with the loss of 1,177 lives. More than 900 bodies remain in the sunken hull. The ship has been turned into: The Battleship Arizona Memorial, remaining exactly where it was sunk on December 7, 1941. It serves as a way of not forgetting that "day of infamy" (F.D.R.).
Is it legal to shoot your gun in the desert where there is no one. I hear you have to be a mile away from any roads or something...
So yeah where in ;Phoenix, Arizona or Avondale, Arizona can i take my gun to the desert and just shoot away?|||besides the NRA, you can also check with Game & Fish (for hunters rules). I've heard the same as you with the one mile away from roads or buildings, but I would verify it before heading out.|||Contact your local National Rifle Association (find them in the phone book) and ask them. I used to live in Cochise County, but it's been awhile. From what I remember, you had to have permission on private land and not allowed on public (mostly national forest) land. I'm not certain. Check with the NRA.|||ANYWHERE!!|||You can't shoot guns within city limits. There is the Ben Avery shooting range at the Carefree Hwy (74) and I-17.
Do you have an off-roadable vehicle? If so, just drive out into the desert. Make sure to look for signs not to.|||With all the new construction in Avondale, you're going to have to go way out. I use to see people shooting way out at the Hassayampa river (3339th Ave and the I-10).|||I used to go shooting way out west along the I-10, I can't remember the name of the exit but going Westbound you'll have a large mound of dirt on the passenger side of the car and then you'll come to a gas station with an A&W in it, take that exit and hang a right (North) drive up the road a few miles and there are a ton of mountains and others out there shooting. Just be mindful of your surroundings. You can also hit a few of the shooting ranges and gun clubs around the valley. I'll be going to one near Mesa and doing a full writeup on it on my travel blog.

So I live in Scottsdale, Arizona and I'm wondering if anyone knows of any stores where can I get some of the fallowing :
Vegemite
Passion fruit
Dragon fruit
Its an odd combination, but they are just foods I've never had before and I really want to try them.
So does anyone know where I can find these?
Do you know of any other exotic foods I should try?
Whats the best way to eat the foods?|||Vegemite...try at Cost Plus World Market
Passionfruit or Dragonfruit...is Tang's Market still around?
There's also this little gourmet grocery store that used to be on the south side of Lincoln just west of Scottsdale Road, up in Paradise Valley area, that might carry exotic fruits and other international products.|||Vegemite may prove to be the most difficult to find. Look for any type of stores that cater to the british. I know it is Australian, but they tend to supply Aussie items as well.
As for Passion Fruit and Dragon Fruit-Most asian grocery stores will carry these when in season. Go in and ask them when they will have them.
Also ask for Durian. It is a large spiny looking fruit that tastes great. Getting to eat it is a chore as it is one of the smelliest fruits out there. It smells like rotting flesh but tastes amazing.
Good luck to you
It wouldn't be a problem to me if financial aid could be distributed to more than one institution, but since I'm a college student I need my financial aid more for my college tuition. So since I'm not taking any summer classes I was wondering if there was a summer cosmetology program in Tucson, AZ or in Arizona in general. Also, are there short term programs?|||Nope. Cosmetology is like college, except they go by hours. To even get your license, You have to complete the hours of your state, and your requirements.
I am going to be going to Arizona to work for border patrol. I was just wondering what duty stations are the best to work at? Also what towns in the Southern part of Arizona are good to live at?|||To start, if you are a new applicant, you will not have a choice of duty station. New applicants are allowed to present their first, second and third choices for which region they would like to be stationed in. Each region is comprised of one or more patrol sectors and each sector is comprised of several stations.
A transferring agent does have the opportunity to select a station by not applying for stations where he or she doesn't want to work. (Unless the transfer is of a compassionate nature.)
I've worked in Douglas, Nogales and Tucson with friends in Casa Grande Station. If I had to select, I'd go with Nogales, Tucson or Casa Grande. Nogales is great work, but a little far from Tucson if you like the big city life.
Casa Grande is great work, nice place but kind of remote. However, it is still within an hours drive of Tucson. The only real drawback is that you have a long drive from the station to your patrol area.
The work in Tucson is fun and the life style is great if you enjoy the metropolitian environment. The one drawback is that it is a big station with the inherent politics.
I didn't care for Douglas, but I haven't been there in a long time. Agents currently there tell me that it's gotten much better. It's a small town a good way out from any of the metropolitian attractions, but it is great country living.|||Douglas would be one of the busiest. Nogales as well, just because they are major border crossings.
Willcox and Benson are two hours and one hour from Tucson respectively, so if you like to have civilization within a good distance, I'd shoot for them.
Now Sierra Vista is another good choice. It's a fairly big town with plenty in the way of restaurants and Walmarts and all that kind of jazz.|||The one with the 50 caliber machine gun.
What are the best areas to live at in Arizona and how are the schools? And the jobs out there?|||Many places, but, from observation, a greater pecentage of African Americans live in Phoenix area.
For house hunting, try Realtor.com and for schools results try greatschools.net.
If you are looking for a "community" feeling I am not sure where to tell you to look, just that Phoenix has the largest cultural mix, followed by Tucson. Both places are very hot (I grew up in Phoenix) and school quality and quality of life can vary widely.
Get a good realtor who really know the area to help you make a choice.
Forgot about jobs. It really depends on what type of work you do. There are plenty of entry level jobs in many areas, but the better paying jobs vary.
Good luck

My mom really wants to move to Phoenix, Arizona. And my dad wants to move to North Carolina. I'm considering Phoenix. What are the good and bad things about living there. I already know it's hot there. Thanks for all the answers!|||I don't know how old you are, but the state you move to should be determined by where the job you've landed is.
pros: many entertainment venues, wonderful winter weather, Arizona has everything but an ocean
cons: traffic during rush hours, hot summers (think oven temps), illegals from Mexico, state budget
Don't come if you don't have a job.|||Phoenix is amazing. I recently moved here from South America and it's been a really pleasant surprise. It's winter now and you can totally wear shorts and t-shirts. Great place to go hiking, if you want to see snow you can drive up to Flagstaff, if you want to be somewhere quite there's Tucson... Arizona is perfect.
You really want to live on a Street and not an Avenue (many sketchy areas), the farther east you go, the better. I live near Scottsdale and it's just an amazing place. I love it.
I don't know who that racist idiot is who mentioned illegals but don't worry, they won't do anything to you, you have no idea how hard a life they have and how hard they work to make ends meet, so they are not a problem.|||ADVANTAGES:
Great weather
Lots of outdoor activities
Beautiful mountain views
Close proximity to California and Mexico for vacations
Amazing sunsets
DISADVANTAGES:
Heavy traffic
Air pollution
Overcrowding
[edit]
Phoenix is in a scenic valley and if you enjoy outdoor activities there are things to do any time of year. There are lots of art fairs, music festivals, and other fun events too. The problem is that about half of the population of the entire state is packed into the Phoenix metropolitan area. The department of transportation is constantly working to widen the freeways or add new ones, but they're still running behind the demands of the traffic.|||It's really only hot for about 4 months out of the year. The rest of the year is paradise. You will want a pool of your own, if possible. So nice to cool off in on a hot day and really nice for back yard entertaining. There is lots to do here. All types of sports and shows to see.
Bad things about living here. Depending on the area, we have crime from illegals who came in from Mexico. Don't go out alone after dark.
Spray for bugs as we have scorpions and they love to come into your home from the heat of the desert.
Careful when hiking as we also have snakes.
I love it here and will never live anywhere else, ever again. I was born here and I've lived in many other states.|||pros:
awesome fall, winter, and summer! love having the windows down in my car when its january.
lots of entertainment (going to see vampire weekend in april)
the cardinals
your one hour away from mountains.
low cost housing
residents like cloudy rainy days, they are rare.
cons:
july and august temps over 100 degrees
arizona driving
the economy sucks.
education, mental health services, and sheriff joe.|||the cost of living in both states is low..
so your job wages are going to be somewhat low to..
but you have all kinds of places to visit..and lots of sightseeing..
your close to nevada and california..
winter time.. its winter time.. some places yes it does snow.. northern arizona..
you will enjoy.
Would Mexicans welcome the new immigrants from the state of Arizona with open arms?|||First they would try to sell them drugs then try to rob them then knife or shoot them.|||Is that a typo?

Have you followed much of the recent history about Mexico sealing off its OWN southern border?
People disappear without at trace trying to get into Mexico (which, by the way, is in the top 7% of the world's wealthiest nations and boasts the world's wealthiest individual).
And, no. It isn't chronically polarized. The middle class is growing exponentially.

they would probably start shooting lmao
yes we have a border problem that should have been resolved many many years ago
one simple thing we could have done is to stop printing our signs and paperwork in spanish lol
we would save thousands a year in printing costs lol|||Mexico has very tough immigration laws, and they enforce them, so whom ever did would be in a jail cell|||Have you seen Mexico's immigration policy? They would only welcome a rich tourist.|||Yes they would. When you cross from San Diego to Tijuana, they don't even check.|||They dont care as long as you carry cash|||They would do what WE need to do to the illegals when they come into the US.. send them the opposite way.
18 yr old guy from Arizona moving to London. I have 1200 Pound. I have worked sales all my life. I love retail but would love to work at a bar. Where should I stay that is cheap? Where should I try looking for jobs? Most importantly Should I go to London or Germany?|||拢1200 should last about two weeks in London. I would not even think of moving to London unless you have a place to stay you will also need a work permit which is unlikely to be granted to someone who wants to be a barman. You will have to convince immigration dept. you have the means to support yourself in the most expensive city on Earth|||I went to London from Texas at 18 with only 2,000 pounds. Go to LONDON! Trust me the cultural barrier will be hard enough to gap without language. Most importantly though you need a VISA!!! to work or you will get deported and never be able to come back EVER! SO check out a think called BUNAC they gave me my visa it worked out really well. I've been there 3 additional years now getting an undergrad. LONDON ROCKS! Best of luck X
I want to make clear I don't believe this Conservative stupidity, but assuming it did, the Constitution would forbid the state from acting upon it.
In other words, no matter how closely the Arizona law resembles federal law, the state of Arizona would not have the authority to deport illegal immigrants.|||It is exactly what the judge ruled.
Immigrant Status, and the determination thereof, is exclusively Federal Jurisdiction.
AZ law took it a step further, by criminalizing illegal immigrant status.
Federal Law does not cirminalize being out of status. Illegal immigrants are processed in federal civil proceedings. Illegal immigrants are never sentenced to jail solely for the lack of documentation.|||it DOES mirror federal law.
and since it does, AZ is not MAKING immigration law, it is merely enforcing federally established immigration law, which makes it perfectly legal and constitutional.
If state's were not allowed to enforce federal laws, local cops would have to look the other way if someone kidnapped a bunch of kids right in front of them, and dealers could sell crack in the parking lots of local PD stations...since both of those things are against FEDERAL laws.
(and Arizona never intended to deport a SINGLE illegal....READ THE LAW...their law dictates that every illegal found would be TURNED OVER TO ICE)|||Apparently according to the federal judge enforcing federal law compromises how the government chooses to enforce the law and will overwhelm the system.|||Ding Ding Ding.
Finally someone gets it.
Regardless how the Arizona law if worded, states do not possess the power to create or enact their own immigration laws.|||They do have the authority to turn them over to ICE...The one issue seems to be forgotten is it is ILLEGAL to hire them.....|||I wouldn't know what to think about who's right until I read Judge Bolton's ruling myself and saw what case law she cited.|||It's not humane, the Arizona law|||It would actually be enforced.|||Wow, what a deep thought. And correct also I cannot say Wow enough. Wow|||They did not want to deport, they wanted to jail them|||whatever
We are planning to go to Arizona this upcoming summer and we need some ideas of places to check out. We are up for almost anything. We aren't big into night life, wineries, or art galleries. We do plan to go to the Grand Canyon of course, so any information about stuff around there that is interesting and worth checking out would be appreciated. Thanks a bunch for any input.|||Arizona summers are in the triple digits............115 degrees is NOT uncommon............
Visit travel sites, I recommend, about.com/phoenix
depending upon your own interests, there is much to do other than the canyon. We have deserts, motorcycle rallys, bike races, state fairs, arts and crafts, farmer's markets and a slew of "local" bazzars.
On I-17, between Phoenix and Flagstaff, lies the sweetest little log cabin that I have ever seen. Even though it has been 4 years or more, since I have seen it, I can not get it out of my mind.
Gordon Lightfoot sang about the "Carefree Hiway" and the "Eagles about " Winslow"......both in Arizona. Both are REAL places. Arizona is the home of the nations largest copper mine.
It is not about what and where it is, it is about something that appeals to you.........mountains, hills, vegetation, zoos, races, desert sand, water, casinos and night life, fast food, fine dining..............all of it can be found in Arizona
Basically, I-8 and I-10 are desert.....sandy and dry
I-40 is "northern country"......snow, hills, sking.....hunting
Though I am not a " native", I have come to see that Arizona is a verstaile place, and you are most likely to find what you seek.

The Edge Fest is pretty sweet.

It will be done in no time!|||We went to the grand canyon.(Don't forget your camera. Not Like you would! lol) Also went to the petrified forest and that was cool. Needless to say it will be hot when you are there. I will say that there is an extreme difference in temperature from Phoenix and Flagstaff. lol I was 12 when I was there so being that was back in the 60's, that was a long time ago and I am sure that there are more things built up since then.

Drugged driving: This state has a zero tolerance per se drugged driving law enacted.

Due to a recent windstorm, I am in need of a new tree for my front yard (HOA requirement). I was wondering if anyone knew of a good tree to get as a replacement. I need something that can survive both central Arizona and my lack of a green thumb. I also would like one that has deep roots rather than ones that spread over an area.|||The HOA must give some type of guidelines, usually trees with water seeking roots, like willows and black gum are forbidden because they destroy sewer and water lines, and shallow rooted trees are forbidden because they raise the pavement in the street and crack house foundations. Fruit trees are forbidden by HOA's because the fruit on the ground attracts rodents and flys.
So give us a clue, what does the HOA guidelines say? I would suggest something like an English Walnut Tree, or a Hazel Nut Tree, both should do fine in your area.|||Blue palo verde, or mesquite tree
I want to hike from the California side of Arizona to New Mexico, and I was wondering if there's a trail that goes through the entirety of Arizona, or a series of broken trails I can follow. Anyone have any insight into this?|||That will be about a 400 mile hike. Are you sure you're up to it?|||I don't think so - I used to live in New Mexico. More than once, in fact. I went looking and found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-distan鈥?/a> It doesn't show any such thing. Most of the long trails I know of are north-south, though I don't know why. Certainly both states are crisscrossed with trails. Patching a route together could take awhile. I hope I don't need to say that it's outright desert. Food, water, and other provisions are going to be real important, as there is none to be had unless you can chase down a rabbit. That's a grueling trip - I've hiked a lot in that country, though nowhere near as far. Try the USGS for maps, maybe.

what will be some ways to reconcile and resolve different opinions and beliefs about the law in Arizona regarding verification of legal status?|||They can't. Only the people who hold those beliefs and opinions can do that. And they don't want to.|||There's nothing "different" about the new Arizona law. The law pretty much repeats, almost word for word, the regulations in the federal immigration laws. The Arizona law (which your should read carefully, by the way, unlike the President, the Attorney General and the head of Homeland Security, none of whom have read it at all so far) is very carefully worded to prevent "profiling" and to not "step on the toes" of Federal regulation regarding illegals. In fact, the processing of detained illegal immigrants is still the final responsibility of the Federal government.
All Arizona is doing is providing some state regulations that spell out the requirements, conditions and penalties. That state, along with all the southern border states, are under siege from immigrants coming across. The crime problems have become unbearable in some areas, and the Federal authorities have done little or nothing to help.
The thing that really kills me is to listen to DHS director Janet Napolitano about this...she was the governor there for a number of years, and she did NOTHING about the problem. Was she in a coma while in office?
I recently had twin boys and our family is moving out to Arizona. We have visited a few times different places and loved them, but you never really know a place until you live there for awhile. What areas are best for children & to raise children in? Jobs have to be available also. I know in these days those two do not go hand in hand together, but if I could have some specific cities/towns that would great. Thank you!!|||Despite what Alex thinks AZ is one of the best states in America. It's also a great and desirable place for businesses so jobs are more readily available than in other states. There are nice places in Phoenix and that would be the easiest place to finds jobs, but that's only if you don't mind big cities and everything that comes with them (i.e. pollution, traffic, crime, etc). If you want a smaller city AZ has a lot to offer. I really wouldn't suggest Tucson because of the crime problem. Flagstaff is an AMAZING city and if you can find a job there (depends on your profession/qualifications) it would be the place to be (great outdoors, wonderful schools, very nice people). Payson is also a great town but kind of small and harder to find jobs. Prescott is my second highest recommended city and one of my favorite places on Earth, more jobs, great outdoors, great town life and things to do, highly recommended. If you want simpler places with less expensive real estate but less jobs and people I'd say Camp Verde and areas east would be great choices (not to mention some of the most beautiful areas in AZ). If you can find a job Eastern Arizona like Alpine and Safford are amazing but very competitive to live. Other recommendations: Apache Junction (close to Phoenix but great outdoors), Tempe (in Phoenix but the best city life), and many other small towns in the North.
You've made a great decision to move to AZ. Unlike what some people think politics aren't everything and we have wonderful people, beautiful land, great towns, it really is hard to beat (and I've lived in WA and Maine and lots of places in between). It's hard to go wrong with AZ towns, if you can include more of what you're looking for it would be easier to make more personalized suggestions because some people want the big city feel of Phoenix and some want the small town vibe of Bumble Bee (yes, that's a town). Overall, you can't go wrong with Flagstaff, it's more expensive to live there and jobs are competitive, but if you manage to find one there is no way on Earth you'd be disappointed. Good luck and god bless.|||I would love a small town feel like Prescott or Camp Verde, anything close to that would be helpful. Other than that your answer was awesome!!

======================================鈥?br>
They have not enforced the Immigration Law for a very long time. That meant that they did not fund the Border Patrol, nor man the Border Patrol. Over a million illegal aliens crossed the border south of Tucson last year, and the manpower and money enabled them to catch 240,000 of them. They have sensors on the border and those sensors detect when the illegal aliens come by. The 'over 1,000,000 is either good, or low. Soooo... maybe Obama didn't know that police functions require money to operate, or he thought magic would achieve the goal. Either way, the lack of funding, and lack of Border Patrol put this country in serious jeopardy.
At some point, what can come over the border could be far, far more than simply the Mexican Mafia Mules with narcotics. MUCH more than merely illegal aliens. Get the drift. And when you look around, there are a dozen dozen models of successful border operations, any one of which we could copy if Obama didn't like what we have. But what we have, fully funded and manned, would be an excellent way to stop the ugly stuff at the border, or well before.
Finally... it costs money to do that. Stopping the narcotics at the door pays back a huge amount of the money. Stopping the illegal aliens at the door will also pay a lot of that back. Stopping the entry of a dirty bomb, or a biological bomb, will be very, very profitable to the American People.
Should we do it? Yes. But what we have to do is actually go after the people who send the meth over. We need survailance of the border constantly. We need eyes in Mexico and we need live running digital examination of most of the roads coming north. If we are in a terrorists war... and are we?... why aren't we covering our backside?

In almost states, police officers can call Immigration once they arrest somebody. So what's the need for this law, except for the fact that now Arizona residents can sue police officers for not enforcing immigration laws, which is kind of ridiculous.|||Actually, all the law does is make it QUITE CLEAR that they can ask about immigration status BEFORE making an arrest, due to ANY legitimate stop for any OTHER reason, AND provide for STATE penalties in addition to federal penalties.
It is the additional state penalties that MAY be unconstitutional due to federal preemption.
Personally, I don't see what all the fuss is about, since they have ALWAYS been able to ask, IF they made a stop for any other reason.
THIS, in fact, clarified that they MUST have another legitimate reason for the stop in the first place.|||They can stop people on the street and request ID. If they suspect that they are in Arizona illegally, they can arrest them and imprison them for a state crime. They can grab children from schools. They can raid factories. They can do all this without warrants or reasonable cause, just mere suspicion . Even Tancredo thinks it goes too far.|||In most states, the police sure will call the Border Patrol or Customs and Border Protection about the illegals they find. In most states and under the current administration of the great messiah BHO, the answer will be to let them go free as they don't have the time, manpower or the OK from the bosses to process and return these offenders to their country of origin. They end up kicking the illegals free so they can get back on our streets and hurt innocent people. They also are a dead weight on our hospitals, food banks, charities in general, economy and community.
Do you expect to be just kicked free, given a job, pampered etc. if you went to China illegally and got caught on their streets wandering around? No??? Why not. You are just hanging out looking for a job. Who is China to tell you to get out of their country? You can go wherever you want because you are special.

We are already the policeman and charity to the world. We cannot be expected to take in every single person on the planet who gets a wild idea to drop everything and come to America. Once America is destroyed by that much illegal immigration - is the world a better place for it all?

John Morton, who heads U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says that they will not support racist Arizona Law
He needs to be doing exactly what he is doing; his job. He is there to enforce federal immigration law; not placate the Bull Connors of Arizona in their attempt to turn all undocumented aliens into criminals. They are not. It is not a federal crime to be here without authorization. Look it up. The wonderful people of Arizona enacted this law making it a STATE crime to be in Arizona in violation of the federal immigration laws. Let the good people or Arizona pay to arrest, detain, prosecute and house in state prisons these horrible people who simply entered our country. They have no right to dictate to the federal authorities how to enforce federal law. Hell, to anyone with any semblence of intelligence and understanding of Constutitional law, it is clear that the state has not authority under the Constitution to pass any laws that touch upon illegal immigration. It is impossible to round up all undocumented aliens and remove them to their country of origin. It would be a profound waste of resources, to. Why not have the police arrest people who commit crimes? If they happen to be here without authority, then they get deported. Chasing down the law abiding undocumented is diverting resources from the effort to stem the tide of drugs pouring into the country; drugs drawn here by the insatiable appetite of Americans. Every law abiding undocumented alien that is hunted down by the police in Arizona means that somewhere else in that state a criminal, native born or illegal, is still free.I find it shocking that many didn't learn from the original flawed language law they supported that left egg on their faces when Arizona had to change the wording to try and make it legal after they passed it. It seems to me that everyone should think about it before they blindly support something they do not even know is legal...particularly because it impacts other Americans.
the fact is the arizona law is illegal and the federal government is not going to be a party to an illegal law. By picking up the illegals taken by the arizona law ..sounds good!
We all know we have a border problem so it takes no brains to recognise something must be done. Some want a solution and they don't care if it is legal or not. The rest want a legal solution and are content to establish that it is legal before accepting a blue eye/green eye law that impacts other Americans. I am of the last group. No way I want to look as foolish as those who accepted Arizona's first flawed law. I am content to wait until the courts make the call rather than look like a confident
There are hundred of stupid laws still on the books..
remeber this law In Arizona: It is illegal for men and women over the age of 18 to have less than one missing tooth visible when smiling
There was a day when the law did not allow women to vote, allowed one human being toown another and when United States citizens of Japanese descent were rounded up and placed ininternment camps and None of those laws were right.. There is a big difference between controlling the nation's border and discriminating by skin color, and Arizona's refusal to distinguish between the two undermines this nation's constitutional commitment to fairness and equality. The measure Gov. Jan Brewer signed into law last week gives police in Arizona broad powers to stop and arrest anyone not carrying proof that they are legally in the United States. The law sanctions ethnic profiling, and it underscores the need for a reasonable national policy on immigration.
With nearly 500,000 undocumented immigrants, Arizona's experience illustrates both a real problem and the wrong way to try to reverse the flood along the border. Federal policy should include effective border control and a reasonable path for illegal residents to gain legal residency.
A new report by the Census Bureau underscores how much foreign-born residents contribute to this nation. The number of foreign-born residents in the United States with doctoral degrees jumped by a third in the past five years. Immigrants now hold one of every four doctorates in the nation. A clear majority have become naturalized citizens, a turnaround from 2005. This nation continues to be the land of opportunity. Discriminatory responses like Arizona's to a national problem cannot be allowed to whittle away those values.

Sadly you are wrong. The Governors job is to protect the American citizens in Arizona...not the illegal ones. Her job is to see to it that the people who break the law are punished. This would include illegals.

They are here ILLEGALLY. Look it up since most of the people who complain about the law seem to gloss that term over.
As this area has a high Hispanic population, which translates into higher than average Hispanic policemen numbers, will you still call it "racism" if one arrests the other? A man from Wales was recently deported from here (AZ) since he overstayed his visa. Is it racism if a non-white arrested him?
It seems as though you just want to do away with the borders. Lets just shuts done the checkpoints and let the flood continue! Pffft!
They ARE criminals once they set foot on US soil without permission. If it isn't wrong, then why are they deported when caught?
BTW, ALL illegals KNOW before they get here they might get caught and sent back. They KNOW it is wrong, but still violate the sovereignty of the US.
The US is not a charity pinata that people can keep whacking on. They need to solve the problems in their own countrys. There are millions of US citizens that need help that don't get it because they are poor yet illegals get a lot for FREE. It needs to stop!
Is it possible to grown blueberries in Central Arizona?
If so when to plant and what kind? Can they survive the heat and cold of Phoenix and Tucson?|||No. Your soil and water is way toooo alkaline. Blueberries need acidic soil. Sure you could make an acidic soil, but the process would release so much salt, the soil would be toxic to the plants plus the water is alkaline.

Tourism in Arizona is way down, and that's a MUCH bigger economic factor for the state than exports, which are not much. Even Arizona Iced Tea, which has nothing to do with the state, is seeing a drop-off in sales.
Leaving out for the moment what I actually think of the law (because that's not really important), I see its passage as a very cynical political move. The people who passed the law KNEW it wouldn't stand, it would be found unconstitutional. They did it for purposes of political 'posturing', to get media attention. And after the law is struck down they can whine that the 'liberal' government is against them and that we need more conservative judges who will interpret the Constitution in a way they will better approve of. They were able to pass a law knowing all along that they would never have to live with the 'unintended consequences'.

You're vastly outnumbered nationwide.|||I already visited Phoenix just so I could, at the very least, contribute to Arizona's economy by spending a few dollars there.

The boycott thing is not having much effect.

They resolve to boycott Az. businesses. But they will still buy electricity and Colorado River water. The Az. power company even offered to renegotiate the contract with L.A. True they knew L.A. wouldn't5. That is calling a bluff. Any boycott of Az. based companies hurts the public including any minorities much more acutely than it harms the State. How many school districts are going to drop orange juice from lunch menus because Az. grows some of the oranges? How many restaurants stopped serving salads?|||Arizona still has a fairly large manufacturing base. The irony being that many (legal) hispanics work for the businesses, and the boycott will do them the most harm. Wasn't that what the boycott-freaks were initially giving lip-service too: the argument for racial profiling legal residents?

I heard that drinking Arizona green tea helps you too loose weight by speeding up yor metabolism. How many cans a day should I drink to help me loose weight?|||Green Tea is full of antioxidants, it is good for you.
The proposed mechanism for green tea’s calorie-burning properties lies in the ability of EGCG to increase thermogenesis, or heat production, by influencing enzymes in the metabolic process. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you will feel hot after drinking green tea. Rather it means that EGCG seems to increase the amount of calories burned throughout the day for all activities, from digesting food to climbing stairs to typing. Other food components, like caffeine or capsaicin (in hot peppers) can boost calorie burning, but EGCG has a stronger effect. However, the effect is not likely to melt pounds off overnight.
in 1994 the Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of an epidemiological study indicating that drinking green tea reduced the risk of esophageal cancer in Chinese men and women by nearly sixty percent. University of Purdue researchers recently concluded that a compound in green tea inhibits the growth of cancer cells. There is also research indicating that drinking green tea lowers total cholesterol levels, as well as improving the ratio of good (HDL) cholesterol to bad (LDL) cholesterol.
The secret of green tea lies in the fact it is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant: besides inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. It has also been effective in lowering LDL cholesterol levels, and inhibiting the abnormal formation of blood clots. The latter takes on added importance when you consider that thrombosis (the formation of abnormal blood clots) is the leading cause of heart attacks and stroke.

My partner and I would like to have a baby. And, wanted to know how much artificial insemination cost in Tucson, Arizona? And, if you know of any good doctors and where they are located? Thanks so much. :)|||We would need more info to be able to give you an estimate.
The cost of artificial insemination can vary greatly - will you be doing a medicated cycle? Would it be with something like Clomid or injectibles? What sort of monitoring would the doctor do regarding blood tests and ultrasounds? Will you be purchasing donor sperm or do you have a partner or known donor? When you say artificial insemination, are you talking about an IUI or IVF?
Basically an IUI can cost anywhere from several hundred to several thousand dollars (injectible fertility medications alone can cost a few thousand dollars) and IVF (where they take extra steps to remove the eggs and fertilize them in the lab) would be $12,000+ on average.
It would be best to meet with a fertility specialist, have a check up, see what they recommend and go from there - cost at different clinics can also vary widely.

You can sell them online maybe.|||there is no law against child labor on farms. i worked on farms starting at about 8 yrs old.
Im 14 and I would like to have my navel and my lip pierced. The only problem is my mom would freak, so it would be best if I didn't ask for her permission. Also, I'm also open to piercing them by myself, but I need directions from someone who knows what they are doing. But if anyone knows a place in Arizona that I could get both done professionally that would be really helpful.|||I wouldn'y do a DIY lip piercing.
But I've done 3 out of 4 of my own navel piercings.
(I have 4 navel piercings in a cross shape surrounding my navel)
Steralize the needle and jewellery in BOILING water.
I actually used the end of my compass to do the piercing (the little pointy thing you put a pencil into to draw circles).
Numbing cream can help (just apply directly onto the area you intend on piercing).
If you aren't using numbing cream, pinch the skin for 40 seconds or so or until it numbs itself (Ice will not help in the navel area). I recommend just sticking a peg on it for a while.
Have some tissues around, it shouldn't bleed too much if at all, but keep them handy.
There is no veins, nerves or anything that could be damaged in the navel area, so don't stress.
I think that's about it.
Keep everything clean.
Don't play with the jewellery once it's done.
Wash in sea salt (salt water).
xoxo|||No good piercer will do it without parental consent.
I did my snakebites and I don't see why you shouldn't. Just be smart about it.
I recommend buying a sterile needle from bmeshop.com. You can also buy jewelry there but usually you can get sterile jewelry from a piercing shop by yourself.
I'm moving to Phoenix, to attend ASU. I'm 18 years old now and a German citizen, and will be paying my own bills, apartment, and i contacted DMV, and they told me to change the EU drivers license after 6 months , to some state drivers license what i believe, since ill be staying there for at least 5 years, also because of Uni. I'm not wanting to move back to anywhere else. How will i gain residency in Arizona ?|||if you want to stay in the US you will need to get your visa changed from student to permanent resident. then you can establish residency in Arizona.

However, it is difficult to trace the call to you if you use *67, and it is highly unlikely that your victim will seek legal action unless it is an on-going thing.
Recording a prank call however can get you into some legal trouble, mostly if you intend to distribute them without permission from the other party.
I am looking to move to Arizona with my wife and young daughter and am looking for a great city to live in (work, entertainment, great schools, safe, etc). I want to be within 45 minutes of Scottsdale. We are from a mid-sized Minnesota town, so places that would fit our lifestyle would be great.|||I live in Tempe, Arizona which incidentally is pretty close to Scottsdale, less than 45 minutes away. I always recommend where I live since I have lived in the area my entire life and I absolutely love it. There are a large number of places to work that aren't very far away, there's great entertainment including Mill Avenue, basketball, baseball, ASU, restaurants, malls, you name it we've got it. Overall I would say what's great about the Phoenix area is it is a large city and so are the surrounding cities but it doesn't really feel that way. It is completely safe and the neighborhoods are very safe and have a lot of families so your daughter would be able to find lots of friends.
Overall Tempe is my pick for you and since the housing prices are going down you might be able to get a good deal on a house here, usually in the Tempe area houses are pretty pricey.
Other great alternatives are Mesa, Chandler, or Gilbert. These are great cities too and are pretty close to everything as well so if you can't find something in Tempe, try finding something there. With the freeways, getting to Scottsdale or downtown Phoenix will take you 30 minutes or less, but beware of rush hour traffic later in the afternoon.
I hope this helps you!
Does anyone how long it takes to get to Arizona from Ohio? Like how many hours or days does it take?|||I assume when you say "days" that you intend to drive. On average the trip from Cleveland to Phoenix would just exceed 31 hours. You're probably looking at a solid two, maybe three days on the road before your arrival. Do not try to make the trip in one sitting; fatigue will catch up to you eventually.|||I don't know how long it takes it just depends were you are going. My suggestion is to go to mapquest.com. It will give you the quickest and the easiest route.|||What, walking, jogging, running, skateboarding, moon walking? Depends on your mode of transportation!
I think the northeast is filled with Candian illegals. In Ohio, you can tell by accents and manners that they are not from your area.
How will Arizona enforce all illegal immigrants fairly?|||they don't need to distinguish illegal canadians from illegal mexicans. they just need to distinguish that they are illegal (no matter of the race)|||They aren't interested in enforcing their new law fairly. I think you and your friends might find this interesting, hon:
Brewer, then Secretary of State, had organized a racially loaded purge of the voter rolls that would have made Katherine Harris blush. Beginning after the 2004 election, under Brewer's command, no less than 100,000 voters, overwhelmingly Hispanics, were blocked from registering to vote. In 2005, the first year of the Great Brown-Out, one in three Phoenix residents found their registration applications rejected.
That statistic caught my attention. Voting or registering to vote if you're not a citizen is a felony, a big-time jail-time crime. And arresting such criminal voters is easy: after all, they give their names and addresses.
So I asked Brewer's office, had she busted a single one of these thousands of allegedly illegal voters? Did she turn over even one name to the feds for prosecution?
No, not one.
Which raises the question: were these disenfranchised voters the criminal, non-citizens Brewer tagged them, or just not-quite-white voters given the Jos茅 Crow treatment, entrapped in document-chase trickery?
The answer was provided by a federal prosecutor who was sent on a crazy hunt all over the Western mesas looking for these illegal voters. "We took over 100 complaints, we investigated for almost 2 years, I didn鈥檛 find one prosecutable voter fraud case."
This prosecutor, David Iglesias, is a prosecutor no more. When he refused to fabricate charges of illegal voting among immigrants, his firing was personally ordered by the President of the United States, George W. Bush, under orders from his boss, Karl Rove.
(snip)
But that's the point, isn't it? Not to stop non-citizens from entering Arizona -- after all, who else would care for the country club lawn? -- but to harass folks of the wrong color: Democratic blue.

The problem is going to be telling illegal Latinos from legal Latino American citizens in some parts of the southwest.|||SO by your own description YOU "profile " them.
Welcome to the fold.
Works too doesn't it.|||It's going to be tough. According to conservative sources the Northeast is utterly loaded with Canadian illegals who are running from socialized medicine. Of course these people think illegal alien and Mexican mean the same thing, which is why racial profiling is now legal in my state.|||That is the controversy behind it. People are afraid they will be stereotypical and racist, and that is why so many individuals are against it. No one really knows if there can be a 100% "fair" way to do it, however, it is something they feel they need to do because it is a big problem there.|||who ever heard of a problem with illegal Canadians? I think Canada should be watching out for illegal Americans. Canada has it all over the US as a great place to live.|||Haha, I had to laugh at this because it's a valid point. If an officer pulls you over and you have a Canadian accent or you say "eh" or whatever, do they have the right to ask for your papers? lol|||The law says "reasonable belief" that someone is illegal.

Get some plant shade cloth to use for that. You can make frames to hold the cloth,from PVC if you need to. You do however have to have the sun protection.

The gov. of arizona says that she will not tolerate racial discrimination but... i think it is being racist. in one point but in another why should they not have to pay taxes? why should they get free health care? I want more opinions on why its good AND bad. From both sides.|||Your follow up questions although quite complex are only tangentially related to your main question. Here is an attempt to answer all of them:
The new state immigration law in Arizona effectively legalizes racial profiling and thus it is a law that allows racial discrimination.
Your second question about illegal aliens not paying taxes is a perception that is incorrect. According to The Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan organization, illegal aliens DO pay taxes. They pay taxes as consumers while shopping, like the rest of us do, and apparently many also pay federal and state taxes as employees using fake social security numbers. But because they are not legal in this country, they cannot file income tax returns to obtain tax refunds and credits as the rest of us do at the end of each year. The govenment ends up with millions, perhaps billions, of dollars of unclaimed refunds at the end of each year.
Regarding health care, how would they get free health care? I don't know what state you are in, but in the state I live, which requires every resident to have health insurance, you have to prove you are a U.S. Citizen, show income and savings or lack thereof, before you can obtain any level of assistance for health care. Not even legal U.S. Residents can obtain "free health care", forget the illegal people.
I think the bigger questions are:
* (1.) What to do with the illegal aliens already in the country? If the solution is to deport them, which is what do already, how do we go about doing so without violating the civil rights of legal aliens and also of US citizens that fit the same or similar racial profile? There are tools in place for employers to confirm the legal status of applicants. However, because we are a capitalist economy, happy with the cheapest labor and lowest price products and services, we don't force companies to use these tools.
As a side but an important note, if you do some research, it seems that this racial furor against immigrants heated up dramatically after 9/11. People felt vindictive and needed a group to point fingers at and be held responsible. However, how quickly we forget that none of the perpetrators of 9/11 were illegal aliens. The perpetrators were not smuggled in south of the border with Mexico. The perpetrators flew in here and perpetrated their acts while flying in business class. They only had to show their large "savings accounts" and their desire to "study in the US" before they were allowed to enter and remain in the country legally. Right after the attack, we knew that the perpetrators were muslim and of which countries they came from. The rest of attempted terrorist attacks by foreigners on US soil have been from ethnic members of that religion. As a philosophical question, why should we profile the people that grow our tomatoes, clean our offices, tender our lawns, and serve our McD's, and overall I'll bet feel blessed they are in this country, even though they are at the very low end of our society? If profiling is to become legal, why are we not profiling the people that hate us and actually want to harm us? It's not even funny while you walk through airports and you see security pull over a frail 80 year old white lady out of her wheel chair for a "random check" while you see middle eastern folk just walking straight through the business class line with minimum checks.
* (2.) What do we do to prevent or at least minimize drastically the number of people entering illegally into the US? There are already expensive tools, some high tech, thousands of patrols and barriers in place to largely prevent illegal entry into the country. However the US policies from the 50s and 60's that devasted the economies and political stability of our neighbors to the south have to change. We need to be consistent with our trade policies and with our dealing with the goverments south of the border. Instead of trying to get the upper hand in every transaction we need to create opportunities for businesses and economies to grow and prosper in these countries. If their economies are sound, why would anyone choose to leave their country other than to visit or to expand business opportunities?|||its not racist it covers any illegal from any race|||It is a form of racial discrimination ONLY if there are members of JUST ONE race who are violating the law, and no others. Are the members of THAT race claiming so?|||its the law of the land...all they have done is put their own law into place to enforce the law....kind of dumb if you ask me|||Yes, it is, and I think Sheriff Dupnik of Tucson knows more about the immigration problems than we do or than the Governor does:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424…|||Yes, it's racist. Many illegal immigrants do pay taxes and do not get a tax return check at end of the year, if they get paid in checks. However, if they are working for cash and not checks, they are not paying taxes unless they go out of their way to do so. In this case, they are most likely making below minimum wage anyway. They do not get free health care; they get a hospital bill in the mail like everyone else- whether they pay it or not is on them. I think the law is discriminatory and useless. It already was against the law to be in this country illegally. The Federal Government is the one who needs to take care of the issue but no one wants to take it on. I don't see Obama doing anything. What they need to do is make the illegals register and pay a fine, make immigration easier to the US, secure the borders and organize themselves. Arizona's main problem is the drug trade and illegal weapons that come across the border, not so much day laborers.
I would like to put my home for sale available to the residents of california who are looking to move to arizona. Is it legal to have a realestate agent from california sell my home in arizona?|||Only if the agent you pick is licensed to sell real estate in both California and Arizona.
Usually a real estate agent is licensed to sell in one state only.
You would do best to list with an Arizona realtor, and ask them to advertise in California too.|||You can only do this if the agent is licensed in AZ.

The Arizona SB 1070 has only been enjoined--and only partially at that.There is nothing that says the whole law won't be completely enforced at some later point in time.|||You are correct. It is just put on hold until a full trial can occur.
And no, a large number of them here do not realize that, but it seems to be sinking in with some.|||Of course I do. I'm an attorney.
Part of the analysis for granting an injunction is whether the plaintiff has demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits. Meaning, in this case, a likelihood that certain portions of the law are unconstitutional. And the same federal judge will assess those merits after a full hearing. The chances of her changing her mind on the issue are pretty slim. What she's telling you is: "i'm blocking these sections from taking effect because I plan to strike them down as unconstitutional unless I see some new, very compelling reason not to."
You should expect the portions of the law that were enjoined to be stricken after a full hearing.|||Um...of course? The entire point of the ruling is that it basically delays it from becoming enforced. The good thing about that is that it provides time for the federal government to fully present their case, and I think it's likely that they'll win. This isn't the first time that the federal government has taken up a case against a state for trying to enforce immigration laws, which are the prerogative of the federal government as granted by the Constitution. So yeah, not long till it is fully struck down.|||Senators are supposed to be wise people, not dummy people

In Arizona they have passed a law that a police officer can ask people to show proof of citizenship. As of right now only an immigration officer can do this(this summer it will take affect i hear). Some people think that this ma cause racism, what are your thoughts?|||It is based on federal law. Any American can be asked for their “papers”, or government issued drivers licenses as I like to call them, if there is reasonable cause. Why should illegal immigrants, who are breaking the law, by being in this country illegally, be exempt? If the federal government would actually enforce the laws that are on the books these state laws would not be necessary.

2) AZ police that are lawfully interacting with an individual may ask that person to prove citizenship if and only if the officer has reasonable suspicion that the individual may be in the country illegally.

I would like to know how to register to vote for Ron Paul and when in Arizona. I know our far-fetched system has a million elections so can someone please direct me on how to vote in the most important ones, to ensure Ron Paul becomes president in 2012! I will then pass this on to my peers and so on
Thanks!|||Go to Arizona site:
http://www.azsos.gov/election/How_To_Reg鈥?/a>
There is a form you will need to fill out.
The other answer is correct. You must register as a Republican so that you may vote in the Republican Primary.
Are you already 18? If so then you may register now if you meet these requirements:
Must be a Citizen of the United States of America
Must be a resident of Arizona for 29 days
Must be 18 years of age or more on or before the day of the next regular General Election
Must not be a convicted felon, unless your civil rights have been restored
Must not have been adjudicated incompetent
Fill out the form and take it to the County Court house if you live near yours. If not then you could register at the Motor Vehicle Office. You can also mail it in but I would rather know that your form has been accepted and posted or filed.
Then welcome to the wonderful world of voting. Now you also have homework:
You must remember your first election. Someday someone, (kids, family, or friends) will ask you what is the name of the first president candidate you voted for and when. So remember - Your first election is so special.
Map|||Go to your local DMV, they have the forms there. Probably at the Post Office too.
Next year when the election really starts heating up, there will be tables set up in shopping malls where you can register. Most of these tables will be sponsored by one or another candidate, but you can register there for either party, or independent.
If you really want to vote for Paul, you should register Republican because your only chance will be in the primaries, and you have to be registered Republican to vote in the Republican primary.

"UPDATE: The White House has ridiculed a proposed Arizona law that would force President Barack Obama to provide a birth certificate when he runs for president in the state in 2012, calling the legislation a waste of taxpayers' money.
"I can't imagine Arizona voters think their tax dollars are well served by a legislature that is less focused on their lives than in fringe right-wing radio conspiracy theories," White House spokesman Bill Burton told CNN. "This is a question that has been answered exhaustively."
http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0420/arizona鈥?/a>
"AZ House votes to verify native status of White House hopefuls"
"PHOENIX - Ignoring warnings of illegality from their own secretary of state, most House Republicans voted Wednesday to require him to verify that presidential candidates on the Arizona ballot are, in fact, born in the United States
SB 1024 would require political parties to submit to the Arizona secretary of state "documents that prove that the candidate is a natural born citizen, prove the candidate's age and prove that the candidate meets the residency requirements for President of the United States."
But the measure, approved 31-29 with no Democratic votes, goes even further. It gives the secretary of state the unilateral power to keep a candidate off the Arizona ballot if he or she has "reasonable cause" to believe the candidate is not qualified.
"I think that's incredible," said Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Phoenix."

The Arizona House of Representatives on Monday voted 31 - 22 to advance a bill that would require Arizona's secretary of state to review a presidential candidate's birth certificate before that candidate could get on the ballot in the state.

Campus life has gone under since the last two concerts racked up enormous debt. I'm sure there's always something going on...but lately, there has been small events like an art show that supposed to "connect" Tucson to France (really...?). Homecoming wasn't too long ago, and that event is large-scale lasting about a week long, but it doesn't really get going until the week end with the tents and the game. I enjoyed it because I got to see a lot of people that I don't normally see...ergo, the point of homecoming. I usually look to off-campus opportunities. Pitbull is coming tomorrow (Tuesday), and I think I'll get to that concert. A good source for what's going on oncampus is the school newspaper: The Wildcat. Maybe you can look that up on the website.
I'm in the Honors College, too. They're always doing stuff, but I think the best thing about it is that you can register for classes early. They also have supportive meetings/informationals about big-name scholarships. Regarding activity, the Honors College hosts movie nights and plays (where the actors are honors students).

It is also comforting to know that 20 other states are considering legislation similar to Arizona and in fact one state already implemented it in 2007 - but you don't want to talk about that I daresay.

Who is "we"? People that are governed by fear and ignorance rather than fact? If "we" came to this conclusion with Hitlers racism against the Jews, "we" would have scores speeches of Hitler's rants with actual hate against the Jews, rolls of film of brown shirts harassing Jews, "Jude" being painted on stores windows by the brown shirts and ignorant propaganda films and posters against them. In other words REAL evidence.
What were the things that made it soooo clear that racism was behind Arizona's SB1040? Was it the 10 million illegals that stream across the boarder each year? Was it the high crime rate on the border? Was it the social services that are soaked up by illegals? Was it the black market jobs lost to illegals? Was it the exploitative environment and 2nd class citizenry that illegals endure because they didn't come through the front door? Was it the security checks that weren't done because they are here illegally? Was it the bypassing of the melting pot which has been the secret to immigration success in this country? Was it the training police officers have to go through in learning how to enforce the law? Is it the drug cartel snipers on hills that are now shooting at boarder agents? Is it the sense that immigrants should be following the law just like everyone else? Was it the restrictive conditions officers have to go through before checking for citizenship?
Why hasn't there been one peep out of Arizona about curtailing legal entry of aliens if they are so interested in getting rid of brown-skinned people? Think about it. Making decisions on fear and what you want to believe instead of fact shows you still have some growing up to do.
No, I don't agree with Obama about Arizona. I don't even care about what Mexico thinks. The Constitution is there for the people of the United States, not the people of the Mexico or the world. Mexico's "offense" at the whole illegal alien issue is bogus anyway. Being an illegal alien in Mexico means jail time in their country. It has nothing to do with rights for illegal aliens to the US. It has everything to do with economics. Mexico WANTS it's people in the US so it doesn't have to take care of them. The aliens also send back money that goes into the Mexican economy. There is also a sense that the boarder is illegitimate anyway. Many Mexicans still have this feeling that the Southwest is somehow still theirs. They feel that they are being kept off their land (at least emotionally) and should have free right of passage.|||None of the tax paying base is going to support this, or anyone who can think for themselves would support this. Oh yea and anyone that actually knows what the United States is and stands for and what they are actually giving up would support this and no we aren't racist. And if anyone that does support this who doesn't plainly see an alterior motive needs to take the next plane out of this country and let the Mexicans stay in there place.|||If YOU feel so strongly about it, then YOU pay for them.
YOU won't mind taking a second job to pay for them, will YOU?

1. There are already laws on the books that deal with arresting, detaining and deporting illegals. There are also laws that fine business for hiring illegals, however none of them are properly enforced. Adding a new law, that has serious potential to violate civil rights doesn't help with the problem.
2. The federal Government under the Obama administration has already deported more illegals than the Bush administration did in 8 years. Claiming that the federal government isn't doing it's job now is partisan politics at it's finest.
3. It's the Mexican border. The law can state specifically that they won't racially profile, but reality won't agree. Hispanics will be the targeted, not whites, african americans, or asians.

That's the ideology attached to the law, "Hispanics are evil, they'll kill you unless we get rid of them".
4. If Arizona wanted to stand up for what was right, they'd enforce the laws they have on the books, and create harsher ones to punish businesses/individuals who hire illegals. Without jobs, fewer of them would cross the border. Instead they create a new law to individually detain and deport illegals. It's costly and doesn't solve the problem. For every 1 illegal detained, 3 more cross the border. It doesn't make sense to try and stop them 1 at a time.

While most of Arizona is considered "desert" land, there is a very significant part of Arizona that is far from desert-like. There are 6 national forests in Arizona:
Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest
Coconino National Forest
Coronado National Forest
Kaibab National Forest
Prescott National Forest
Tonto National Forest
Arizona consists of two major land regions 鈥?the Colorado Plateau to the north, and the Basin and Range Region to the south.
The Colorado Plateau is an arid region of level plains more than 4,000 feet high, broken here and there by mountains and deep canyons. Humphrey鈥檚 Peak, the highest mountain in the state (12,655 feet), is located near Flagstaff. The deepest canyon, the famous Grand Canyon of the Colorado River, is also found here. The mountains in this region are heavily forested.
The southern half of Arizona consists of the Basin and Ridge region. Mountain ranges interrupted by desert basins run from the northwest to the southeast. The land immediately south of the Colorado Plateau is quite rugged and includes the Gila, Mazatzal and Sierra Ancha mountain ranges. Farther south, broad, fertile valleys separate heavily forested mountain ranges. This part of the region produces excellent crops with proper irrigation.
Just want to clear it up for those people that think Arizona is a barren desert!
Arizona is an incredibly beautiful state. My personal favorite areas are Sedona, Flagstaff and the area around Snowflake. (Yes, it actually snows in AZ!!)|||Louisiana is a deep south state with hot, wet, summers, and warm, dry, winters. It fits the standard Southern culture, with a mixture of Cajun living. New Orleans and Baton Rouge are the only two notable cities in the state, with New Orleans being the largest of the two. If you are more of a rural person, Louisiana may be the state for you.
Arizona is a southwestern desert state with very hot, dry, summer and warm/hot, dry, winters. Most Arizona residents live in cities, mainly in the Phoenix or Tucson areas. Very few people live in more rural areas of Arizona due to the extreme desert conditions. So, if you are more of a city person, Arizona may be the state for you.
Remember though, that both of these states have very warm climates, so if you do not care for warm weather, neither of these states may be what you're looking for.
A top Department of Homeland Security official reportedly said his agency will not necessarily process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona authorities.
John Morton, assistant secretary of homeland security for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, made the comment during a meeting on Wednesday with the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune, the newspaper reports. "I don't think the Arizona law, or laws like it, are the solution," Morton told the newspaper. The best way to reduce illegal immigration is through a comprehensive federal approach, he said, and not a patchwork of state laws. The law, which criminalizes being in the state illegally and requires authorities to check suspects for immigration status, is not "good government," Morton said.

Maybe your question should be "How long should AZ hold an undocumented alien in jail" because the word "Can" is very interesting considering some of the things Joe has done in AZ. Some of the things he has done may be effective, but borders on legal and he has won several of the law suits yet has many others to deal with that have nothing whatsoever to do with the new law but things he has done in the past.
So to answer your question "AZ can do whatever they want to do as they are showing the Nation but there will be unintended consequences to their actions"
In AZ with the new law it will be longer when SB1070 goes into effect because they have criminalized what is a federal civil infraction . The first page of SB1070 states that no city, town or any agency can enforce the law in any lesser degree than the full extent. ICE does not even do that. ICE does not issue the fine all the time, nor do they issue the max jail time but most of the time deportation is what is done.
It is very interesting to see what will unfold because AZ is helping this issue be dealt with and personally I feel we need to deal with this sooner than later. I don't agree with illegal immigration and I feel we need to secure our borders but we also need a reasonable reform. At the current deportation rate with the current ICE employees it would take 34 years to deport 12 million people and that is if no others enter the country. When employers stop paying undocumented people to work, prices will go up but attrition will send these people home. ICE does not have enough employees to go out and enforce fines.|||Indefinitely, until the next administration. They can make the illegal serve the entire sentence until we toss obama out.

The AZ boycott wont work primarily because at the moment of this post only Boston, LA, and San Fransisco that are boycotting AZ. These are individual cities not entire states so the impact is minimal. More importantly both LA and San Fran get approximately 40% of their electricity from Arizona's Palo Verde Nuclear Power plant. As a result both cities are incapable of a true 100% boycott. In short the California end side of the "boycott" is more a bark then bite.

And for every individual that is upset and will boycott, another is proud and will got out of their way to find AZ products.|||Because 70% of Americans support the law|||I would gladly visit a theme park re-enactment of the holocaust... if it had ever really happened in the first place.|||The majority of Americans support the law.

The characterization of nazism is immature and inflammatory but it is recognized that there are those who have the inability to do research, get the truth and retract an earlier position. The people of Arizona deserve to be protected from illegal criminals and, as has been discussed, the Arizona law allows law enforcement officers to ask immigration status during an inquiry into an infraction of law. If an illegal has a valid driver license, then that is sufficient proof for law enforcement and no further inquiry is necessary.

I had to carry my birth certificate, driver license and passport when I went to Mexico and yes I was asked for it, so why doesn't that law apply when someone comes to the US.|||As a Latino democrat who voted for Obama, (and a Gay American), I recently heard about Arizona's new stringent anti-immigration law. I support it. Bravo to Arizona!
The fact is, illegal aliens have “more” rights than gay people in our country. Illegal aliens can go and see their opposite sex partners in hospitals, up until a couple of weeks ago, when Obama signed an executive order allowing same sex couples to see one another in a hospital, same sex couples would have been continually barred from seeing one another. Illegal aliens can marry an American citizen, gay people cannot marry in most states in our country. Illegal aliens can march on Washington and request some type of amnesty from a president who supports selective amnesty, gay people can march on Washington, but their president does not support same sex marriage.
Illegal aliens broke the law entering our country and are getting free health care, free housing, and food stamps. Their anchor babies born here give them these benefits automatically and there is nothing to stop them from bearing more children in order to convince a judge to let them stay in our country. On the other hand, many states do not allow gay Americans to adopt children.
Illegal aliens should all be deported now; their anchor babies can return when they turn 18 years of age. We also need to end birthright citizenship, and deny illegals access to social services. Americans are ultimately left to pick up the bill for the billions in services that they receive for free courtesy of the taxpayers all the while illegal aliens pay nothing into the system (from which they benefit) and then send mostly all their earned money back to Mexico to help our their country and not ours.
As a gay American, the notion of amnesty for these illegal aliens, aggravates me knowing that right now they have more rights than I do. Citizens who pay taxes into the system, regardless of sexual orientation, should come first before illegal aliens who take what they want from the system and leave struggling Americans paying their bill.|||its not racist illegal aliens are of all races
the law doesn't allow anyone to be stopped at random, it just allows someone who is being investigated for a crime to have to provide proof that they are in the US legally

SEND THESE, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" This is on OUR Statue of Liberty! We LARGELY advertise on Lady Liberty that everyone who wants to come here is welcome here! You need to remember how Nazi Germany got started killing the Jews. The Jewish race of people were first just looked down on, then "harmless" fences and walls were built to keep them where they "needed to be". They couldn't imagine that their actions would lead to starvation, gas chambers, & SO much more. My country that I love, the USA, where these people just wanted to come, just like my ancestors, to have a better life, is acting just like Nazi Germany. First, after allowing them to run free and enjoy employment and a happy life, they put a stop to that by fining companies LARGE amounts of money if they hire them, when we let them live here and work here for decades without doing anything. How far are we going to let this go? These laws are to meant to treat Mexicans SO bad, keep them unemployed and hungry, not able to pay bills or to have a roof over their heads, so they will go home. Sounds eerily familiar! Don't think it can't happen here, it can. And beware when you come against a certain "group" of people, soon it may be YOUR group.

They will be checking lots of people, why would you think it will only be coloured people. Are you admitting that only coloured people break these laws?
Get a life. If you are not illegal and not breaking any of our laws, why worry. The rest of you, run for the hills.

I am going to be in Arizona for about 9 months or so. Does anyone know how much it will cost to register and tag my vehicle? It is a 90 town n country minivan. If I also have one staying in florida do they both have to be arizona taged?|||It varies depending on the vehicle. There is a $4.00 title fee; an $8.00 registration fee; plus an air quality research fee of $1.50; and a vehicle license tax (VLT) assessed in place of a personal property tax charged by other states. There may also be a weight fee for commercial vehicles and other fees. The VLT is based on an assessed value of 60% of the manufacturer's base retail price reduced by 16.25% for each year since the vehicle was first registered in Arizona (15% before 8/1/98). Then, as of the Dec 1, 2000 reduction, the rate is calculated as $2.80 (new vehicles)/$2.89 (used vehicles) for each $100 of the assessed value. For example, for a new vehicle that costs $25,000, the first year assessed value would be $15,000 and the VLT would be $420.00. The second year the assessed value would be $12,562.50 and the VLT would be $363.06.|||It's way too expensive. One reason that makes me want to move back out of this state. Arizona rips you off on many things. I've lived in many states, and they are the worst! But, if you have a really old car, it wont be too bad.|||It all depends on the year, make, and model of your vehicle. Since it is a minivan, it shouldn't be very expensive. I'd say it might cost anywhere from 90 to 150 dollars, give or take a few.
Doing road trip with kids from Chicago to Arizona (grand canyon) does anyone know any 'must see' stops along this route?|||I disagree <going to Death Valley would add at least 2 -3days to your trip and Zion maybe a day or two
There are two possible ways to route this that won't take you out of your way
Start by going from Chicago to Denver
Option 1 is Denver >Estes Park CO >loop it thru Rocky Mountain NP into Granby CO >Georgetown CO>Grand Junction CO >Moab UT and Arches NP
Plan on spending the night in Moab
Next day
Moab >Mexican Hat UT >Do the detour and visit Goosenecks of the San Juan SP and then back to MH , thru Monument Valley to Kayenta AZ >make a right on US 160 take that across the Rez to the junction of US 89 S >Cameron AZ [ get gas ] SR 64 uphill to GCNP
From the South entrance of GCNP head to Valle make a left on US180 take that into Flagstaff
From Flag it's down Butler to I-17S >Use the airport exit and find US and take that down the switch backs to the bottom of Oak Creek Canyon and into Sedona
Option 2
Takes you down I-25 to the junction of US 160 W @Walsenburg CO
Take that over the Rockies to Durango CO >good spot to spend the night and \Mesa Verde NP
Then Montezuma Creek UT > Mexican Hat UT and then as in Option 1|||zion and do detour to see death valley it is spectacular

My first trip to Arizona from Texas, and I see all of these circles on the ground in all different shades of green. Some had patterns through them, and others looked like pie charts.|||The first answer misses one detail - there is a sprinkler in the middle - but it is a huge long arm that pivots in the middle and travels around in a circle with sprinkler heads on top. The partial circles (sectors) are limited plantings, where the water is turned off for part of the turn or reversed in direction.|||Those are actually regular fields. Why circular you ask? There is a sprinkler in the middle and if it was rectangular or square it couldn't get water to the whole field. It's kinda an efficiency thing.
I am considering a move to Arizona. Leaning towards the Flagstaff area and want opinions or the city or other cities in Arizona. I am going to school for accounting, so I would need a fairly open job market for accounting and I have a young child, so the quality and safety of the school system is also important. Also, I am african-american, so wondering if AZ is pretty diverse or has a high racial problem.|||Flagstaff is one of the better places to live and raise a family in Arizona (I grew up there). It is small enough that you don't get the pollution, traffic, and crime of a big city, but large enough that you still have a good hospital, nice selection of stores and shops, etc. At 7000 elevation, they have four real seasons with nice cool summers and snow in winter. It is surrounded by National Forest and within a short drive of many National Parks and Monuments.
The university also results in a higher number and quality of educational and cultural events than you would normally find in a town of that size (~50,000). Because of the university and several scientific institutions (like Lowell Observatory and USGS), education is valued more than in most of Arizona (where education is generally considered a threat to tax dollars) and thus the public schools are generally better than the state average (which over all ranks among the lowest in the country).
The worst part of living in Flagstaff is a higher than average cost of living for a town of that size (it is becoming a popular resort/summer home/retirement town) and limited higher income jobs. The best jobs are with the university or WL Gore (makers of GoreTex). However, every business needs accounting, so there must be a fair number of account jobs there.
The racial make-up of the town is mostly anglo with large hispanic and native american groups. There are not large numbers of Asians or American-Americans, but the town (and most of its citizens) has a very laid back easy-going quality and is generally very open to different people, life-styles, cultures, etc. Politically the town leans democratic and there are strong artist, outdoor enthusist and counter-culture communities.
Outside of Flagstaff, the towns with the largest African-American populations are Phoenix and Tucson, but even here, they are a pretty small minority percentage-wise and the majority is Anglo and Hispanic. Flagstaff and Tucson are the towns that tolerate and even celebrate diversity the most. Racism is more prevalent in the smaller rural towns and to a lesser degree in Phoenix, but even here it is probably not as much as some places back east (other than the current flaring tempers caused by the illegal immigration debate).
Phoenix is where the most jobs are (high-tech, construction, medicine, retirement/elderly related). Home prices and cost of living used to be pretty good for a city of this size, but house prices have shot through the roof in the last two years (hard to find a modest family home for less than $200K), but is starting to slow down. Unfortunately the anything-for-a-buck boom town attitude in Phoenix has also resulted in lots of sprawl, congestion, pollution, higher crime, and a strip mall culture with little interest in community, arts, or good public education (in my opinion). Summer are hot (113 today) but the low humidity takes the edge off it.|||We don't have a lot of high tech jobs. Phoenix would be best for that. We live in Marana near Tucson. Very nice. Smaller than Phoenix which is why we like it. Plenty of jobs. I don't know how Flag is as far as jobs. It is small and land locked. So if you want a small town that will stay small, that's a good place. But it's a lot colder up there. I don't know if weather matters to you. If you are single, you should stick to Tucson or Phoenix area.
We are planning on moving out of state because of the schools. Don't like them. Az is VERY diverse. However, I don't see a lot of african americans about. At least not in my area. It's kind of odd to see african americans around. There is one family that goes to my gym, but that's all I really see. Shouldn't discourage you though because AZ is diverse and open to diversity in many areas.|||NEAR THE WATER PIPES. OR NEAR THE TRAIN STATION SO YOU CAN GET AWAY.|||its been awhile but i lived in a town called casa grande very small at the time but it is almost right in between phoenix and Tucson i kept an apartment in Phoenix were my son stayed an lived there on the weekend i found people very friendly and my son worked for a Mexican family in their restaurant|||I'm not an expert on Flagstaff but am an AZ native who has also spent some years living in Boston. Jennifer's comments about Flagstaff having a lot of "hippies" and Native Americans who choose gangs seemed pretty out of line which I wanted to comment on; those are blanket stereotypes in my opinion. Anyway, having spent substantial time living on the East Coast, I really enjoyed my exposure to different cultures and lifestyles. I am truly hoping that the expansion of ASU into the downtown Phoenix area this fall will infuse intellectual property, research, ideas and subsequently, help to revitalize the city and present more cultural experiences for the rest of the valley.|||Well Queen Creek is a very safe place for you and your child.There are schools such as Queen Creek elementary and Queen Creek Middle School and also there is Queen Creek high school.There are lots of jobs in Queen Creek also.Its a really cool place to live! :)|||Tucson...its voted best for women (by AZ citizens)|||Do you want cooler weather, is that why you're thinking of Flagstaff? Flagstaff is a college town and has lots of hippies (really). The school system there is terrible. My in-laws both work for the school district and it's very poor. There are many Native American students drawn to gang activity there, and the city is rated in the bottom ten for medium sized cities in the entire nation! So, I don't recommend it. If you're looking for cooler weather in AZ, think Payson. Queen Creek schools are good (responding to the post above), but half of Queen Creek is in Florence USD... not so good. Arizona is very diverse and you shouldn't have problem. I would recommend the Gilbert School District, especially Highland High School area. They do very well and have low crime and high test scores. There are lots of new business in Gilbert, so I don't think you would have problem finding a job. Plus, it's located near the 60, so you could take the freeway to work if you found something close by (Mesa, Apache Junction, Tempe).|||Phoenix has a lot of high tech jobs.
Ditto the nice things other have said about Flagstaff. I think it would be a nice small town to live in. It's somewhat of a college town, with Northern Arizona University there.
Prescott is a small town, but growing fast, and is also very nice.
I don't see any racial problems in Arizona. We are a very mixed society with many Latin Americans, Native Americans and every other race.|||My suggestion is Tempe/Chandler.
If you want the BEST school district for your child, it is the Kyrene School District, which is K-8. It also partners with Tempe Union High School District (9-12), so your child will filter to schools with thier friends. These districts are located in Tempe/Chandler/Awatukee borders which is roughly on I-10 and Kyrene Blvd.
Ultimatly, my suggestion would be to get with your a Real Estate agent in the area and ask them where the good schools are. But Kyrene/Tempe Union is what most of them are going to say.

Good luck. Houses here are such a good deal, they give out loans so quick and easy! My child goes to Cesar Chavez and it's going good, has a lot of AP classes. However, Surprise is a good quiet, city too.. Many will tell you though that the east side is better, but you should look around first.|||i reccomend the foothills of tucson. actually, all the schools in arizona suck. it got rated 3rd worst in the country for schools, and the highschools here have the lowest SAT scores and in the nation.

Where you could buy a 3 story home in the midwest, a house of the same price would only get you a one story 3 bedroom home here.|||If you want good schools, do not move to Arizona. It has now been ranked 50th in the nation. There is a teacher shortage out here and many districts hire teachers that have emergency certification just to fill spots. Also legislature out here is trying to pass a bill that will make it even easier to get certified. (Basically all that you would need is a bachelors degree in any field and one education class/no student teaching is required) Az is an age appropriate state, which means students pass each year no matter what. You could miss two years of school and still get put in the "age appropriate" grade.|||There's a lot of nice areas with good schools here. It depends on where you are going to work to. It's a big city, so you don't want long commutes to work.
The East Side is a little more expensive, especially around ASU (Tempe) and Scottsdale. Gilbert and Chandler are really family oriented communities. If you want to go farther out from the big city and get more house for your money, head out to Queen Creek or South Chandler. Those areas are still growing, especially with the new freeway out there.
If you consider the West Side, you should look into Surprise, Peoria, North Glendale, Goodyear or Litchfield. I live in Peoria, and people move here because of the good schools and safe communities.

May the good Lord be with you during this time!|||My heart goes out to you and all of the good fathers out there that want to get custody of their children from an unstable, unfit mother. I realize how hard it is to do so. I wish that I could help you as far as legal help in Arizona, unfortunately I haven't got a clue how to help. It hits close to my heart to hear of any good father wanting to get their child because my husband and I fought for over a year to gain physical custody of his little girl. It was a difficult battle because it's hard to take custody away from a mother, no matter how unfit she is. My step daughter endured a lot of abuse and still had to sit in the middle of it while we tried to prove our case. The only advice I can give you that may help is this:
Document everything, if you have evidence of her mother being unfit, be sure to document it.
We had a child custody evaluation done by a psychiatrist the judge trusted. This could help you if it is in your favor. I think, in the end that is what helped my husband win custody of his daughter. I wish you the best of luck in finding reasonably priced legal counsel and I wish you luck to win this battle.|||If there is no custody order in effect right now, then neither you or your ex has custody. You can take your daughter and not give her back to her mom, and not even the police can force you to return her. BUT....be prepared that if you do keep her, then you better already have a stable environment for her. Schooling, day care, her own room, etc....showing there is no reason she cannot live with you. You also need to file for primary physical custody immediately, before your ex does. If your daughter is already established at your plae, the courts usually do not like to make changes.|||Obviously I would fine someone experienced in child custody. There are plenty of online resources to find lawyers, some also offer specialty options where you can look for lawyers who specifically deal with certain issues.
Once you've found a lawyer they will most likely ask you for a history of your wife to show she is unstable. They may be able to request medical records proving this (the lawyer will know about this more).
If you can't afford a lawyer you can always try to find one Pro Bono, or contact Legal Aid. Despite what many will say, there are plenty of good lawyers who do Pro Bono work and who work at Legal Aid. Give them your story and you'll be surprised at how many will want to help you protect that child.
Best of luck,
Pamela|||My mother flat out LEFT my sister and I when we were young, and my dad still had to fight the court with a letter in hand from my mother stating that she did not want her kids and that he could have them, no contest. It took him a year to convince the courts that he was the better parent - all because he was a man.... and YES, this was in Arizona.
My advice to you is to live the most straight laced life you could EVER imagine. Document EVERYTHING. Hire a private detective if you have to. You have to prove that she is so horrible that even (gasp!) a man, the father of the child, would be a better choice than her. You could also try to cut the mother a deal - tell her that you won't seek child support. Be willing to put this fight on credit cards if you have to. Your daughter is more important than money. Trust me, the mother will have no problem dragging you into financial hell! Fight, fight, fight!!! Do not give up! It is an up hill battle, that's for damn sure... but good for you for not backing down and taking the visitation that most men get stuck with.
Take it from me - I thank God every day that my dad fought so hard for us. He was 23 with a 2 year old and a 9 month old (both girls).

I need to fly my brother out to Arizona, however I have very little money. I have not seen him in 25 years.|||i'm a frequent flyer, and my resource is http://www.crazyforislands.com .|||Hi Oliver,
Air fares vary greatly depending on how far in advance you purchase your ticket, the days of the week of travel, etc. You can check hundreds of web sites using one site called Kayak. You can visit Kayak at http://www.kayak.com As long as you know his dates of travel, you can see the different fares available.
Cheers
Topic says it all. For example lets say something was brought to the post office last wed (21st) in illinois when would it arrive in arizona?|||How fast do you want it there?

I am a girl so if you have anything else let me know.|||sun screen|||Camera, Gum, Pants, A watch ?|||Something to prove you're a US citizen, just in case....|||Arizona is a really warm place. The temperatures there can get to over 100 degrees, and the sun can also cause skin cancer if you get overexposed. Therefore, a good idea is to bring a sun hat or sunscreen. Also, be sure to pack a camera. Though it may be very warm there, it still is very beautiful. These are the some of the sure things to pack:
-Money (To buy souvenirs)
-Sun hat, sunscreen, etc. (Already mentioned)
-Camera, cell phone, anything to capture the beauty (Already mentioned)
-A laptop (So you can email your friends and tell them how it is)
-A book or handheld video game (Arizona is a long way from here, so you'd better have something to do along the way)
-A neck pillow (Whether you are going by car or plane, this is a must. Especially if you are driving there, it can get a little uncomfortable.)
-A water bottle. (Like I said, Arizona is very warm. Be sure to be hydrated!)
-Sunglasses (Again, for the sun)
-Pajamas (These should be in the "basics", but, well, without pajamas, what do you sleep in?)
-Cell phone (Though already mentioned, you need this to call and text people. A must.)
-An element of home (If you are going to be in Arizona for a long period of time, then a good idea is to bring an element of your home along the way to avoid getting too homesick. For example, you could bring a simple embroidered pillow or something from your house to remind you of your "home sweet home", so to speak.)
-Snacks! (If you are going by plane, this saves money, since airport food can get expensive. If you are going by car, this saves the gas that you waste by stopping for food. It also make you less hungry.)
-An appetite for FUN! (No need to say why.)
Well, I hope this helps! Have fun on your trip to Arizona!
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. The city is trying to officially boycott the State of Arizona. Don't Mexicans along with every other ethnic group work for these companies?

If the roles were reveresed and we were going to Mexico, we would not see ANY kindness, nor would that corrupt POS government down there even try to help.
So really we have been very understanding and very patient and kind.

Illegals get housing food stamps medical care electricity and a monthly check so why not to come to this country I know that many people that are here Illegally works hard but not all of them work many of them are milking the Government for what is worth and the tax payer is paying for it I think that is wrong
go to Mexico or any other country and se if the give you housing food stamps medical and a check every month you will be deported real fast Mexico do not have any of this commodities for their citizens no help period. in Mexico the rich is rich and the poor is poor

Essentially, the law states that it is a crime to carry a handgun "on or about your person." This law began in the 1870's as a Jim Crow statute intended only to be applied to black people. Over the intervening century, it has been interpreted, in my opinion, too broadly by the courts to include the passenger compartment of a car. Generally, your trunk is a safe place to carry, although I have seen one case here in Austin when the local cops ran a guy in for a gun in his trunk. Not because it was a good case, but merely because they wanted to harass him. Always remember the old saying, "you may beat the rap, but you won't beat the ride."
But the law goes further and makes an exception for persons who are "traveling." Traveling, as it has been interpreted by the courts means, basically, going away from one's domicile, or residence, for an extended trip of some kind. There are no exact definitions or parameters. This is what is wrong with the law; it is too vague and subject to abuse by police and prosecutors.
Even if one is truly traveling, you can still go to jail. Say for example, you have a car loaded up with all your belongings and are driving from Austin to Dallas on I35. A cop pulls you over in Temple and he either searches and finds the gun, or you tell him you have one, (which you don't have to do; nor do you have to consent to a search). But for whatever reason, he finds out you have a gun.

Any Libertarian, who's a bit educated on this issue, should know that once those "der'n mexicans" are pushed into a condition of living that is similar to the Palestinians, the Corporate, WAR & SUPPRESSION MINDED ELITE PSYCHOS, will start to clamp down on the working class WHITE PEOPLE.
I'm sure all of you good minded "PATRIOTS" wouldn't mind being stopped by police when you're driving down the street with somebody from work who's got brown skin.
Or, all of you people who believe in America being the best FREE COUNTRY in the world, wouldn't mind being fined heavily by our wonderful legal system, for letting someone bring their mother over to your house, who's in fact, not documented.
It's nice to see how many of you good patriotic citizens believe that it's perfectly acceptable to be living in a complete TOTALITARIAN WORLD FOR THE RICH!!!!!! 666 666 666 666 666 666
I wonder if SATAN owns you???

I am a single with no dependents as far as tax stuff goes. If I get a job, how much of my paycheck will go towards paying taxes in Arizona and Federal taxes? I want to try to calculate how much money I would be earning.|||Give me a gross pay and I will tell you the net. Or you can do it yourself.

A friend and I want to take a roadtrip to Arizona in my new convertible. What places would be best to go if we wanted to see the real desert and the least people? Thank you!|||The area north of the Grand Canyon is very secluded and desert like.
The area is called the Arizona Strip. It is the size of Massachusetts and has a total population of less than 9,000 people.
However, many of the roads are gravel. Not to mention all the dust out in the desert. Probably not somewhere you'd want to take a new car.
I Have a home in Al Mirage, Arizona. In Arizona, in order to rent my home to people, I overheard I need to have permit or license to do that. What are they and where can I get it.? Thanks in advanced.|||It's actually El Mirage. Are you sure you really own a house there? You need a landlord permit to legally rent your home.
I need to hear from people who live in Arizona. Has the law made the streets safer for you but has it also wreck the economy and increased taxes.
Has the law failed?|||The Immigration Law in Arizona is based solely on economics. With the onset of the recession, things got very tight. To make more jobs available to the Arizona Americans and to give the US government a break in the area of welfare, they enforced this law. It has made it no safer. It has had very little effect on the economy or taxes. Yes, this law has failed both in practicality and ethically. Do you know what it says on the Statue of Liberty?
"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" Who among us was not a product of immigration in our ancestry? Sorry to rant,, but we all have to learn to live together if we are to survive.|||It has made things better. The economy is picking up, unemployment is going down. The outlook is bright right now!
It would be even better if the important parts were not still being litigated and were actually in effect.
whats it like there.. i might be moving there && i really dont want toooo. =[|||Northern Arizona
The Grand Canyon, Sedona's famed red rocks, Flagstaff's forested mountains, Lake Powell's blue waters and Monument Valley's sandstone spires are some of the natural wonders that await you in Northern Arizona.
Enigmatic landscapes that captivate the imagination and capture the soul are found throughout this singular landscape. Here, the mile-deep Grand Canyon slashes its colorful course across 277 miles, the cobalt-blue waters of Lake Powell mark a stunning contrast against the sandstone shoreline, and the flourishing forests of the San Francisco Peaks seem to reach to the sky.
In addition to beautiful scenery, Northern Arizona also offers the excitement of traveling the “Mother Road”, Route 66, the opportunity to explore Native American cultures, interesting local artwork and delicious regional cuisine.
Tucson & Southern Arizona
Replete with natural wonders, history and culture, Southern Arizona has been romancing visitors with its Old West charm for decades.
The region's most populous city, Tucson, is a thriving metropolis with luxurious golf courses and resorts, a flourishing art and history scene and vivid multi-cultural heritage. With Old West towns and guest ranches, the region makes a perfect Arizona getaway for visitors who want to relive the past. Or, for those with an eye to the sky, the area hosts a variety of astronomical observatories which study everything from our closest star, the sun, to all the stars beyond . Additionally, Southern Arizona's rich riparian areas and rugged mountain ranges rank among the world's best birding sites.
Phoenix & Central Arizona
Arizona's capital city of Phoenix combines with the surrounding cities of Chandler, Glendale, Mesa, Paradise Valley, Scottsdale and Tempe, among other cities, to form the Valley of the Sun, a rich mecca of diverse experiences.
Central Arizona's desert is home to the Phoenix-metropolitan area and its more than 3.4 million residents. Encompassing more than 2,000 square miles, the area amazes with a variety of experiences, ranging from world-class resorts, spas, shopping and golf courses, to renowned restaurants and a vibrant nightlife. The metropolitan area has all the wonderful experiences you would expect to find in a major city – set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Sonoran Desert.
In addition, the region also boasts fantastic museums and galleries, a wide array of sports events, Old West and Native American history, hiking and other outdoor activities suited for the state's more than 300 days of sunshine each year.|||i graduated hs and college there, but that was centuries ago. haven't been back since, probably wouldn't recognize anything. very hot in the summer, over 100degrees often. wish i could be more help...|||there is no Arizona.|||Depends what part of Arizona, in the higher elevations its cooler in the summer and cold enough for snow in the winter, the lower areas in the summer is hot and dry so if your from the Philippines you will be fine as you wont feel the heat as much because you are living in a high humidity and moving to a low humidity, the lower area is more of a desert and the higher area has beautiful trees and many wild life to view. Have a great time and enjoy,
Bill|||Its hot! But through time you can get used to it. I moved to the Virginia mountains were is freezing cold practicly all the time! I adjusted fast. I'm sure you will too!|||Each part of Arizona ( North, middle, and South) is really different. The middle and south sections are mostly desert with amazing mountains and mesas. The south also has some incredible caves. The north is at a much higher elevation and includes a great deal of forest. You can also experience all 4 seasons there as it does snow each winter. There is great skiing, camping, and hiking. Arizona also contains the gorgeous area around Sedona as well as the South rim of the Grand Canyon! There are also beautiful lakes throughout the entire state.|||hot|||don't let people tell you how Arizona is if they are google-ing it.. it's not the same as living there... I live in Arizona. Let me tell you that everything depends on what part of Arizona you are moving into... south , center or north
The weather is very very hot on summer (over 100 degrees) and very very cold in winter (enough to snow). There are beautiful places where you can go camping, skiing, hiking or sightseeing, landscapes are incredible (better than postals) and the people is really friendly and nice, except for Green Valley city (it's for 65+ year old people, not that they aren't friendly, they just never go out). As for economy and work..they are good, not excellent, but very good.. At the north part of Arizona, there is this city.. Sedona.. which is for rich people, great spas. great stores (shopping).
You probably don't want to come and live over here because you don't know how it is, but give it a chance.. besides the crazy weather, you will enjoy everything ;)|||At 8 pm yesterday in yuma it was like 97 degrees... my cousin is stationed there for the marines... I think it usually gets into the 100s but is just dry heat not humid like michigan(where i live ...ugh I hate humidity!)|||Hot, dry/arid climate. Mostly rocky, very little vegatation. Beautiful vistas of rocky cliffs, plateaus and mesas.|||well you got the good the bad and the ugly over here like everywhere else, good luck, sabie
why do they not go onto day light savings time|||Because we're cool. Actually I'm not sure, probably cuz it's a mess of time management and we don't really need it here any more. And there's is a difference in the amount of sun light we get from winter to summer.|||Because they chose not to. It didn't make sense for them to go through all the disruption, because there aren't any major plants or industries that would benefit and the snowbirds don't care what time it is.|||well un like other states arizona usually gets light and dark around the same time all year round. so it wouldn't make sence if they change it.

They are both very safe and extrememly affordable.|||A lot of people from Florida end up relocating to Arizona, so you'll be in good company. I was born and raised in Phoenix and have lived mostly in North Phoenix and Glendale, both of those areas in my opinion are very safe and have some of the best schools in the country. West Glendale has built up so much in the past few years, w/ the new stadiums and shopping centers, you'll have plenty to do. There is a nice lake that you can visit about 20 miles north of Glendale called Lake Pleasant, it's not teh ocean, but it does the job. In terms of the heat, I think that you will have no problem dealing w/ it, like they say "it's a dry heat." There is almost 0% humidity throughout the entire year and that makes it so much more bearable than a place like Florida.|||Phoenix is a big city and there are parts of it that are really nice and there are parts that aren't so nice. The east valley is pretty nice-Chandler, parts of Mesa, Queen Creek, Apache Jct, Gilbert, Fountain Hills, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, then on the west side there is Goodyear, parts of Avondale, Surprise, Peoria, Glendale, and then if you go south to certain parts of Laveen where they are still building-that is nice. If I were you say away from Maryvale and most of central phoenix. There are some nice streets like down central but the surrounding cities have much better schools and less crime. Hope that helps-good luck!|||If you enjoy 110+ degree weather for much of the summer, bland houses, prison design style schools, dust storms, snakes and lizards, and so on than AZ is your place.
But to be fair, the job market here is booming, low taxes, low gas prices, low rental costs, a pretty good highway system, and nice weather during the winter
But phoenix and the cities around it is one big suburb, there's little character, most of the schools look like prison's, the drop out rate is high, and auto theft and ID theft is a big problem here.|||I live in Chino Valley, Arizona. Some quick facts about my area:
Jobs are scarce.
Education is good.
Rent ranges from $600 for a single room to $2800 for a full house per month.
Water and electricity are reasonable.
We don't have the violence that the large cities have, but you'd better do your homework when looking for a job. Anything that has to do with construction is awful here. Nursing is in extremely high demand as are education professionals.
If you do decide to move to my neck of the woods, we'll welcome you.
Also, we do have bugs, but not as many as Florida has. =)|||The school systems in Phoenix are really good and it's not too expensive to live here either. This is a big city, so there's crime just like any other big city, you just have to find the right area to live in.

i live in philly and im just wondering hows arizona like because im movin there. do arizona have earthquakes? do arizona have tornadoes or floods? is there alot of crimes or less crimes in arizona?|||I've lived in AZ my whole life, it's great!!!
No, there are no hurricanes, tornadoes, or earthquakes. There is an occasional monsoon here and there. Yes, there are hip hop and rap radio stations. Not sure about crimes, I think it's probably average.|||It's great in arizona it's gust hot and chilly but there are forest areas. Report Abuse
|||I live in Arizona and we do not have earthquakes, hurricanes, or tornadoes. If we get enough rain we can have floods but I have never experienced anything severe. The crime rate depends on where you live. In the Phoenix area, crime can be high but it usually is in big cities. Most of Arizona doesn't follow daylight savings time. We stay the same time all year round, and it is much easier than having to switch the clocks!|||I've lived in AZ all my life man. Got to say it is probably one of the best states you can live in. No earthquakes or tornadoes ( Though I have seen a few warnings) you do get the occasional wash floods due to the desert land being so dry when monsoon comes the ground can't take all the water at one time. But other then that it's a pretty chill state. The girls are out of this world. Can't beat a state where they are in their swim suits half the time and ASU being one of the top 5 party schools in the country you can't go wrong. Crime is crime it is anywhere you go! Only crappy thing is if your car is stolen Mexico is a few hours away! Kiss that car good-bye! :)|||Moving is what you make of it - it can be good or bad. No, there are no earthquakes, tornadoes or floods. If anything, there are monsoons here, which is really just a sand/desert storm that lasts a few hours and doesn't do any harm or damage for the most part.
As for the radio stations... of course there are hip hop stations, there are about 3 or 4 of them.
Which one is better? And if you had to choose which one would you want to live in? I live in California, and I have the choice to move to Arizona. I've never been there but everybody says its nice. I want opinions!!|||1. California has a coast (looooong coast). Arizona not.
2. California has mountains over 12,00 feet and lots of winter snow (therefore lots of summer water). Arizona not.
3. California has some major cities (Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego) Phoenix, Arizona cannot compete even with San Diego.
4. Arizona has lots of desert. California has quite a bit of desert, but it's not the only thing there.
5. Arizona has the Grand Canyon. California has nothing quite like that. But California has redwood trees (both coastal and mountain varieties).
6. Arizona has more historic Native American ruins than California.
7. Arizona has more varieties of cacti and desert wildflowers than California (I think).
8. I think Arizona has less of a budget deficit than California, but that may be only because its budget is smaller.
Bottom line: I like Arizona, and visit there every few years, but California has tons more variety, mostly of the good kind. Just my own humble opinion, but it's based on experience.|||Just stay in California.
In Arizona its always scorching hot. Its full of nice people but keep in mind that this is usually where the old people live. Its not a joke either. Everywhere you go you find old people from the Navy, Army, Marines, etc etc. But not all were in the forces. Everywhere you go its also a desert. You should go on vacation there to see what its like. There are no cities. Its nothing like California except in certain places of California it can reach up to 115 Fahrenheit too.
@Lisa B
Arizona Nevada has Las Vegas. That beats a lot of cities we have here in California.
But its not fun to actually live there. Could you imagine tourists all the time? And traffic every weekend due to tourists haha. That would be horrible.|||Arizona is not 100% desert. There are ski resorts by Flagstaff and Pinetop, AZ. Both regions are high in the mountains and get plenty of snow. There are large elk herds (high-altitude animals) in those areas. I-40 between Flagstaff and Gallup has gotten blizzards.
The desert region is in southern Arizona and central Arizona. Phoenix and Tucson are extreme deserts much like El Centro, CA or Needles, CA. Phoenix is brutally hot, especially with the urban development. The concrete absorbs the heat. Average temperatures now are noticably higher compared to 50 years ago and are also higher than Tucson.
I think the key is to look at the economy and job security. A move is high-risk in the aftermath of the great recession. Arizona does not have a large economy like California. I am an engineer, and if I had a choice I would prefer California's engineering industry for work and relocation even though I grew up in Arizona. California is also a nice state with many parks like Yosemite or the Sierra Nevadas. I also enjoy the amusement parks and have great memories of childhood on the beaches near LA and San Diego.
With that said, there are exceptions. If you have a strong family or set of friends in Arizona and the job is relatively secure, then you can try it. Arizona does appeal to a lot of people. I definitely miss my large family there. I still like to go back and hike the Grand Canyon or run the cactus parks. It's just that I had to leave for a career.|||Nevada|||they are spell diffent

I also seen Sherrif Joe Arpaio setting up a whole lotta tents and getting ready for the illegals to come. LOL!
They are already starting to scatter and some are even going back to Mexico. This is making Mexico unhappy. Ironic that Mexico doesn't even want its own people.

|||They will go to the bordering states obviously.
Then hopefully those states will pass the same bill, then the illegals will migrate to their bordering states, then those states will too pass the bill. Eventually the illegals will have no where to run but sea...
Man I feel smart tonight!
Of course obama needs to resign and every mexican official in office and council or governor needs to be eradicated because they stick up for illegals like they are a source of fresh water on a hot summer day.|||It would be nice if they went back to Mexico.
But they will probably go find some other Sanctuary state to leech off.
My state, Minnesota, is one of the 12 Sanctuary states in the U.S.
We have too many illegals here as it is, and now we will likely get a lot more.
Funny how illegal Mexicans don't mind the cold winters here as long as they get everything for free.|||Probably California unfortunatley. That means us in California will have to deal with a flood of these undesirables. Just what we need, a ton more illegals and racist Mexicans, oh great. As everyone knows, California's most racist group is the Mexicans, we don't need any more of these racists here.|||They'll migrate to any state that doesn't enforce such a law. So I say to all the other states to watch out and keep a close eye on Mexican license plates and anyone that drives horribly.|||Me and my 13 kids moved to San Francisco, a great sanctuary city.

I was under the impression that nexus is required to be established within the state of Arizona, otherwise, the seller is not liable for any state sales tax. Please provide me with links establishing your argument, if possible.|||From the Arizona Department of Revenue website:
"Arizona Department of Revenue
NEXUS UNIT
Transaction Privilege and Use Tax
The tax commonly referred to as a "sales tax" is in reality two distinct taxes. The first is the Transaction Privilege Tax, which is a tax on the privilege of doing business in Arizona. It is measured by the value of tangible personal property sold by the vendor in Arizona. The vendor is liable for the tax, even though the vendor may pass on the tax to the consumer. The second is the Use Tax. The Use Tax is a tax on any tangible personal property bought from an out-of-state vendor that is stored, used, or consumed in Arizona on which no tax was paid to the state of sale. The consumer is liable for the Use Tax, however the vendor is responsible for collecting and remitting the tax to the state as long as nexus is established. If a lesser amount of tax was paid to the state of sale than would have been paid had the property had been purchased in Arizona, the consumer is liable for the difference.
Determining Transaction Privilege/Use Tax Nexus within Arizona:
The following is a general guideline of activities that, if engaged in, may exceed the minimum threshold of nexus and subject the business to the Transaction Privilege Tax, or Use Tax requirements of Arizona:
鈥?Employee present in the state for more than two days per year.
鈥?Ownership or lease of real or personal property in Arizona.
鈥?Maintenance of an office of place of business in Arizona.
鈥?Delivery of merchandise into Arizona on vehicles owned or leased by the taxpayer.
鈥?Independent contractors or other non-employee representatives present in Arizona for more than two days per year for the purpose of establishing and maintaining a market for the taxpayer. Examples of establishing and maintaining a market include: soliciting sales; making repairs; collecting delinquent accounts; delivering property sold to customers; installing products; conducting training for employees or representatives of the company or customers; resolving customers complaints; providing consulting services; soliciting, negotiation, or entering into franchising agreements. "
It appears that Arizona requires YOU to collect the use tax from their in-state resident?|||Any state can establish its own rules for nexus and they don't have to be the rules that you are thinking of.|||In the city of Scottsdale AZ, any items sold on the Internet by a Scottsdale based business to AZ residents is taxable http://www.ci.scottsdale.az.us/taxes/tlf鈥?/a>
Q. Are Internet sales taxable? If so, at what rate?
A. Items sold by Scottsdale based businesses via the Internet to Arizona residents are taxable and reportable to the City at the 1.65% tax rate.

Seems more teams are opting for Arizona. Didn't it always used to be Florida? There must some reasons for this trend. What might they be?|||the competition level in spring training starts off slowly, with teams playing split-squad games, games against local colleges, until finally squaring off against real live 'major league' teams.
i've noticed this trend as well, and while i wouldn't be surprised if money was at the heart of the matter (cheaper taxes on facilities? financial perks and breaks from communities in arizona?) i can come up with a other few reasons why teams are up and moving to AZ.
weather... drier and more predictable in arizona: less rain-outs, more fans opting to show for that reason. perhaps it's easier for the so-cal fan base to make that week-long visit in march? facilities: dodgertown is getting a bit long in the tooth, there are modern newer facilities in tucson and the phoenix area. the more teams that are there, the easier for other teams to come there and play against each other: the AZ teams play almost all of their spring training games vs. other AZ teams, as is the case in FL.

Reds exploring spring move to Arizona
Posted Jan. 15, 2008
"Rejected in their attempts to renovate Ed Smith Stadium and shut out of Vero Beach's Dodgertown, the Cincinnati Reds are now exploring a move to Goodyear, Az., and potentially sharing a new spring-training home with the Cleveland Indians. Former Cincinnati Reds Chief Operating Officer John Allen will in Goodyear tomorrow to meet with city officials about the possibility of sharing the new Indians complex, slated to open in 2009. The Reds' lease at Ed Smith Stadium ends this year, but the team holds a two one-year options as they seek a new home. The Goodyear complex was designed to accommodate a single team but could be expanded to support two. A move by the Reds -- which could happen as soon as 2009 -- would present some issues for MLB. We're guessing there's already some talk about whether spring training would be manageable if there is an odd number of teams in each spring league: with the Los Angeles Dodgers slated to move to a new Glendale complex in 2009 or 2010, there could conceivably be 15 teams in each circuit. It's doable, but complicated, unless a team moves from Arizona to Florida (which seems highly unlikely) or another Florida team moves to Arizona."
but they won't leave without a fight...
Sarasota to woo Reds
Posted Jan. 16, 2008
"Pat Calhoon, the facility manager for Ed Smith Stadium, says he'll attempt to persuade Sarasota to fund improvements to the ballpark in an attempt to keep the Cincinnati Reds from moving spring operations to another Florida city or Arizona. The new plan would cost $41 million, with the city contributing about $7 million and the county about $18 million. The Reds and a state grant would cover the rest of the costs. Last fall voters narrowly defeated a referendum on funding ballpark improvements, and it's not clear the city or the county has the money (or the will) to perform all the necessary upgrades, which would include compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Former Reds COO John Allen is in Arizona today to meet with Goodyear officials about the possibility of sharing a new spring-training complex with the Cleveland Indians."
these articles describe momentum, another important baseball strategy, in greasing the wheels to get more teams to AZ. follow the $$, and despite what other good reasons there might be, you will follow the teams to their new spring training headquarters.
ps:: this is the best time of year to be a sports fan!!|||No i don think there is a real reason it may be arizona is a little warmer this time of year and it doesnt rain that much so they wont have any difficulties in all likely hood.|||Different answer...honestly, I don't feel safe in either state anymore-regardless of the weather.
One would think that this could be a retaliation, if the boycott of Arizona has that much of an impact on the Arizona economy.|||Yes and No.
SRP is a private business so the State has little to no say in what they do as long as what they doing is legal.
So as a private business SRP would have a contract with California to sell electricity, and like any contract it only lasts for a certain amount of time. Now if that contract ends then SRP may choose weather or not they would like to renew the contract and continue to sell electricity to California. But in all reality SRP would be foolish not to sell to California.
The only leverage the State of AZ has is that they could add a State tax on outgoing products to California (much like how the federal government tariffs items in and out of the country). This could force SRP to jack up their rates to California so high that they might as well cut the power.
But in all reality it would never happen. The argument of cutting California electricity is more of a point to show how ridiculous the California boycott of AZ is. California claims to be boycotting AZ but they refuse to boycott AZ 100%. It is much like an animal rights activist carrying a picket sign that reads "Fur is Murder" while wearing a leather coat. Basically the California boycott is a boycott in name only in order to make Californians feel like they are doing something without actually having to sacrifice anything.|||Nope. Ever hear of the word CONTRACT?
So your answer to the economic loss from California not penning any NEW contracts with Arizona businesses is to kill another contract?|||i wish arizona would shut them off. mid summer and l.a with no air conditioning would serve them right|||I sure hope so.

I said "57 states".|||all of them eventually|||I think a lot of states are monitoring this to see whether or not it will work before deciding to go ahead with it.|||New Mexico governor Bill Richardson decided yesterday to reinstate the requirement of the state's Children, Youth and Families Dept. to report illegals they find during the administration of their duties. That requirement had been rescinded some years back, but Richardson of all people has reinstated it. Coincidence? I think not.|||47

I live in Arizona and I received a ticket in the mail from a traffic camera for crossing an intersection on a yellow/red light. The cameras are set up with motion sensors. I have heard you can get away without paying the fine. Is there anyone that knows this is true from experience?|||Unpaid traffic will suspend your driver's license for a minimum of two years. So add it up:
Ticket is probably around $70. You could just pay that. Or, you could ignore it, drive with your suspended DL, get caught driving with that suspended DL, get another ticket, probably in the neigborhood of $140, have your car towed and pay another $150 to get it back. $290 vs $70. Not worth the risk.|||Every picture tells a story don't it. You may be able to cut the fine by doing community service. Good luck, if you didn't completely clear the intersection before the light turned red you can be fined. At least you wont have anyone to blame except for yourself. Please Drive Safely You wont gain much time if your in a hurry and get pulled over for speeding. Yellow light means prepare to come to a complete stop.|||just pay the fine or later on you will be sorry. They will get what is coming to them sooner or later, you will have someone knocking on your door with a bench warrant when you don't show to traffic court. Just pay the fine and save yourself a lot of trouble and remember to stop at red or yellow lights for your safety if nothing else.|||Sure, you can ignore it.
Of course, you'll get a bench warrant, and your license will be suspended. So, if that sounds worth it, go ahead.|||it will haunt you for ever if you try and ignore it.|||Question for your Question... why would you ignore it?

We've lived here 15 years and I have only seen one.
It was on the carpet in our apartment.
I found it when I got up during the night without turning on a light, and stepped on it.
It was tiny and almost clear looking. I thought I was gonna die from the burning pain!
We've been our house a long time now, and I have never seen another.
I've only seen 2 tarantulas-both harmless.
The only snakes I have seen were in a biology lab.
Still, I always check my shoes before putting my foot in.
I'm currently a freshman at a community college in Illinois and plan on getting my associates after two years. My mom lives in Arizona. I was thinking that, after I get my associate's degree, I could move there for a year. Would that allow me to get the instate tuition for Arizona public universities? Or is there more to it than that?
Also, would my friend be able to move in with us in Arizona and establish residency that way?
Thanks.|||go to www.momsincollege.com at the top menu click on the page link "state contacts" Find Arizona on the list and it will contain a link to the state educational website, as well as, contact numbers, and an email address. They should be able to answer this question based on their state specifications. Hope this helps!|||Yes, if you are living there you just need to prove it.|||You need an official answer from the university in Arizona. You have an unusual situation in that your mom is apparently a resident. If you are paying in state tuition in Illinois and your situation has not been misclassified by the Illinois college, you are probably an Illinois resident. You may need to live in Arizona for a year without taking any classes anywhere to become an Arizona resident for tuition puposes. You would also need to register to vote, obtain an Arizona driver's license or ID card, etc. to fulfill the requirements of Arizona residency. The requirements are usually listed on the websites of state universities.
The only difference that I can see is that Arizona will enforce the law.|||It doesn't. It is derived from the federal laws. The problem Obama has with the law, is it may actually be enforced. He doesn't believe States should have that much power.|||The law does really only one thing:it makes violation of 8 USC 1304 or 1306 (aliens in US without papers), while in Arizona, a crime (actually "trespassing"), for which Arizona officers can arrest the alien to be fined and delivered to INS for deportation. It has technical parts that implement this. Report Abuse
|||The simple fact is actual minorities who are citizens - will have their liberties infringed on due to profiling.
This law is Unconstitutional, the state is overstepping it's boundaries of pursuing federal matters and overstepping Constitutional boundaries of privacy and liberty.
Amazing how so many Arizonians are willing to give up freedoms to fat *** bureaucrats who promise to make it better, when they should be voting in officials who will press the immigration matter in DC.|||None whatsoever. The law just tells the local police they can do what an INS agent could do if they were there. No more a violation then a local officer arresting any criminal who violated a federal law such as counterfeiting.|||What people don't take into consideration, most illegals that are identified through enforcement action, are identified by non-Federal law enforcement officers.|||The Federal Law doesn't violate the Fourteenth Amendment.|||You are correct. There is no difference, except enforcement.|||thats why its written the way it is, so arizona can do what the feds won't|||Cops get to ask if you are an legal or not.|||You are correct a mundo.
I would like to have my small truck here in Panama but would like to know the best way to ship it here. I do not want to drive the long distance from Arizona to Panama City.|||I know you can ship it to Costa Rica, (San Diego or Ensenada would probably be the closest ports to AZ) but I don't think it is possible to get it to Panama by boat.I have driven from Tijuana,MX. to Panama City (3000mi.+/-) on a couple of occasions and believe it would be less expensive to ship it by boat to Costa Rica where you could pick it up and drive it to your final destination in Panama.See link below for more information.(One of several companies that ship cars by boat.)
The most important thing you can do now is to check Panama's three R's, Rules,Regulations and Restrictions. Every country is different.Make sure you can 'legally' import your vehicle to Panama.I would also encourage you to talk to a respected mechanic to insure that parts are readily available for your truck in Panama so you wont be 'truckless' while waiting for parts to be shipped from the U.S.

Some countries, Colombia is a prime example, it is illegal to import a used car.
As Jan Brewer said, almost all Americans support arizona and what they are doing to combat illegals.
Of course illegals dont like it but they dont count.
Now when this lawsuit fails it will set a precedent that other states will follow. And the Federal Goverment will have to accept that and eventualy pass the same law that arizona did throughout the country.
Do you think they know this and this is just a play to make illegal supporters think that the goverment is trying to help them.|||since sb1070 mirrors Federal law i cannot see how obama and his ilk could win in court. the only lawsuit here should be against the federal government for not enforcing THEIR immigration laws.|||I don't believe arizona is doing anything illegal or uncostitutional. I fully support arizona on trying to enforce a law that is already in place. If a police stops you for some violation and finds out that you are not even supposed to be in the country then you should go to jail and get deported...it really makes me upset when every one talks about illegal mexicans in this country as the major immigration problem when there are thousands of others who come here legally and try to find ways to stay in this country....i have been here for the past 8 years and i have maintained a student visa all along and sometimes i wonder if the federal gov.passes an immigration reform, will it help people like me who came here legally and are still here legally or will it just help those illegals.......do i have to be illegal just like them so that the gov. can help me too????
the lawsuit against arizona will never work|||YES. I can not understand why the suit has not been filed yet. The Fed does not know what to do, or they would have done it already. Talk is cheep.|||It depends. I'd have to see on what grounds the law is being challenged. From reading the existing case law, a challenge based upon preemption or discrimination is unlikely to succeed. The Feds will have to come up with something original. And the lawsuit has not been filed yet and I have a suspicion that it will never be. The US Attorney General is awfully vague about how he intends to proceed so it may just be empty rhetoric.|||well, for one thing, it will be heard in the 9th District Federal Court, which is overwhelmingly the most Federal liberal court in the US. so, I'd say it certainly could succeed there. even then, it would likely go on to the Supreme Court, and it may succeed there as well. However, certainly if it does fail other states will pass similar legislation.|||This is going to be interesting. If they use normal grounds.. infringement on American Sovereignty, I think they will loose. I also think they have had their best and brightest working on it, and I don't think that is the way they are going to go. We gotta see what come out at the time of the presentations.|||The immigrants problem will not change , ever! one way or another it will keep happening.

When is it hot enough to start swimming in phoenix,arizona?|||In Phoenix, early May is about the time when our pool is warm enough to spend any reasonable amount of time in. The kids will test the waters in April, but generally it's still not quite warm enough for anything past a few splashes.
If there is a heated pool (not all that common due to the extreme cost of heating one), year round. But again, even many people with the ability to heat their pools typically do not. Just way too expensive.|||May?! holy crap they must be from here...
i am from boston and i grew up in freezing weather, so i think its hot enough to swim here in April and maybe even the end of March.

I want to go visit a friend n arizona december, ivd never gotten on a plane before. How much would it cost to travel on a plane from michigan to arizona?|||It depends on what city in MI you are flying from, what city in AZ you are flying to as well as when you plan to go and how early you buy your ticket. Ticket prices can be expensive in December because lots of people want to fly then, especially as you get closer to Christmas. I suggest you visit http://www.kayak.com. You also want to buy soon as the longer you wait, the higher the ticket price will be. Another option is to visit http://www.southwest.com.|||It depends on a lot of factors, including the city you fly from, the city you fly to, the time of day, and how far in advance you buy your ticket.
I recommend going to a travel site like Travelocity, Expedia, or Orbitz and entering your cities and dates to see what your options are.|||Hello, suppose you fly to Phoenix from Miami and back in Nov, the ticket costs about $180 per person with US Airways, transfer in Charlotte. Of course you can fly to other destinations, it's up to you.
My husband will be transfered to Phoenix, AZ area, but not for 4 months and I would like to get going on my small business plans (estate sales/appraisals) from Pennsylvania that I want to start in Arizona. Do you think that this is feasible? At least to get the legwork down, make contacts, marketing, etc. What would you do?|||Yes. You should be able to register the business. You can even get an address, if you're willing to fly there and set it up. You can go, for example, to Mailboxes, Etc. (see link) and get one. I believe they will even forward mail to you. For marketing, you could buy a local mailing list (or, check the local chamber of commerce website) to a list of business. In other words, there are many things you can do -- I did this myself.
I am planning on taking a class to help me pass the PTCE in Phoenix, Arizona. Aside from taking this class, I am working towards my Associates in Science degree after which I will work to get my Pharm.D. How much can I expect to make starting out as a certified tech.? How much of a difference does it make if I were to work at CVS/Walgreens versus at a hospital?
Thanks for any answers,
Scott|||In general you can expect to start out around $10-12/hour. For people with experience, the hospital setting can pay more, but starting out they are close. For experience to help prepare you for pharmacy school, try and get into a hospital. Best of luck,|||The trainee license is for non-certified pharmacy technicians to get a license for training purposes. These license holders may train as a pharmacy technician in Arizona for up to two years. There are no special requirements because this license exists for the purpose of getting hands-on training. While Arizona and other states do have a number of pharmacy technician training programs, Arizona public policy seems to favor having future techs get hands-on training at an actual pharmacy. The employing pharmacist conducts the training.|||I live in NJ so pay rates are much different but hope this helps: a friend of mine used to work with me @ Walgreens as a CPhT and he was making $11.50/hr starting. He left & worked at a bank for a while then decided to go work for CVS (this was like a year later) as a CPhT and he now only makes $9.75/hr at CVS.
When I first was lookin for a job at 16 NJ state minimum wage was $6.75. CVS was going to pay me $6.75 and Walgreens hired me at $7.25/hr. Walgreens tends to pay hire rates.
However, if that doesn't convince you then think about this: all 7,100+ of Walgreens pharmacies are connected. To fill ANY script just plug in a DOB and last name. CVS has to register people even if they have been to another CVS before, thus usually pissing them off.

The Centers for Disease Control has a website listed under sources about how to obtain a birth certificate; the methods listed are less expensive than using one of the online companies, and you won't have to figure out which online companies are reliable and which ones are not.|||If you're American citizens, you need no documentation outside your driver's license.|||Birth certificate is an important document so you need to do this for your son.Situation can ever come when you need to show it and its necessity is very important in the future documentations for your son.So I will suggest you to apply for his birth certificate as now a days there are many online agencies providing their services in a very easy,quick and cheap way.So my suggestions you should apply for it.I too can suggest you one of these agency.Good luck.

I have a customer in Alberta that wants my building supplies. What type of company do I form in Arizona or Canada so that I can export my products to them over there?|||You do not need a new or special entity to ship to Canada.
Contact a customs broker to get assistance. The broker will be able to assist you with the export paperwork, tariffs, freight forwarding. etc.
You might have to adjust your pricing if the customer is expecting a certain price point due to any tariffs or freight that would not be included in your domestic pricing.
If sales in Canada turns into something more than an occasional order, you might want to look at different options for structure. That would be a nice problem for you to have.........

I hear liberals and Hispanics say that the new bill in Arizona which makes it a crime under state law to be in the country illegally is racist.

Its not necessarily racist but its clearly discriminatory because the bill was created with only one target demographic in mind and that is Hispanic.
Its just like the drug courier profile and other laws which start out with "good intentions"...there always ends up being one target demographic which always gets prosecuted for the crime. 70% of drug users in this country are whites, but only 20% of the people in jail for drug offences are white. Most people picture a mexican when they think of illegals, but they ignore the fact that there are millions of illegals from Africa, the Caribbean, Eastern Europe and Asia who are here and slip under the radar because of stereotypes of what an illegal immigrant looks like.

in this immigration battle with the federal government? Will the november elections help decide who wins? Will the Arizona law be federalized? Or will the New York-DC-LA Axis of Evil triumph in their support of the invaders?|||There are logical dynamic variables posed that make this hot-button issue interesting when it appears before the U.S. Supreme Court---something OPPONENTS of Arizona Immigration Law, SB1070, DO NOT want happen.....and here's why:
1) The U.S. Dept. of Immigration and Naturalization Service ( INS ) has a brazen, poor and embarrassing record of FAILING to detain and deport ILLEGAL immigrant residents IN the United States. This FACT alone, CAN NOT be white-washed or covered up: The number of ILLEGAL MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS in America has over-burdened the INS from doing their sworn job effectively.
2) The U.S. Border Patrol Service confirms fact # 1--and on record, repeatedly asks for assistance from the law enforcement level along the U.S. States that border Mexico.
3) The actual number of ILLEGAL Mexican immigrants is STAGGERING. This fact not only poses clear and present threats to the U.S. economy---but it poses equal dangers to U.S. economy, domestic safety AND security:
a) The U.S. dollar being funneled OUT America and put IN to Mexico.
b) Stronger flow of illegal drug trafficking today than compared to 20 years ago
c) Stronger entry flow in the U.S. of prostitutes and child "sex slaves"
d) Much larger biological threats of epic scale damaging diseases entering the U.S. from Mexico.
e) Heightened chances of terrorism opportunity ( eventual alliance between Mexico organized crime and terror groups, like al-Qaida ), due in great part from the daily entry of ILLEGAL Mexican immigrants.
f) Costs to U.S. taxpayers for "social assistance" currently being freely given to Mexican ILLEGAL immigrants; the actual total here is also STAGGERING, rounding off in BILLIONS of U.S. dollars.
Oppose Arizona law SB1070 all you wish to: Hard as it may be to face these REAL facts, these are logically sound FACTS America currently faces, facts that carry REAL threats to the United States---possibly on an irreparable level.
I'm also including the clever DEMOCRAT strategy, currently in play with this issue: Obama and his loyalist, Congress controlling DEMOCRATS clearly OPPOSE Arizona law SB1070:
1) U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton owes her job to the DEMOCRATS ( Bill Clinton appointee ).
2) U.S. Supreme Court justices Sotomayor and Kagan were hand-picked by Obama and inserted into the Supreme Court by his fellow DEMOCRATS.
Heavy as the DEMOCRAT scale dis-balance on this issue is, Arizona Law SB1070 opponents shouldn't feel so smug just yet: Given Sotomayor and Kagan are expected to OPPOSE SB1070---final judgement from the Supreme Court comes by MAJORITY VOTE. This means that for SB1070 to be Supreme Court shot down, TWO MORE Supreme Court justices must also cast OPPOSING votes.
Given the logical FACTS weighing more FOR full passage of Arizona Law SB1070, doubts hold opponents of this law will prevail. I take solace in the strong trend being that current U.S. Democrats ( including Obama ) are very very likely to be VOTED OUT, come Election Day.|||November's elections cannot come fast enough.

What kind of business license would I need and how much would it cost? Thanks.|||You must contact govt. license office for further help, hope it helps|||First of all, the state does not set business licenses, the city your business is located in does (or where you live)--a call or trip to city hall will give you the info. Second, a business license does not allow you to buy wholesale--that is a resale certificate (you will need both). Now, shopping wholesale is not as easy as most people think it is AND you are still liable for all the sales taxes (whether you sell the item or keep it for yourself). You will pay the franchise tax board quarterly or yearly so keep meticulous records. When you try & purchase whole sale; you will need to furnish a copy of the resale certificate (which they will give to the franchise tax board on demand--so you can not hide purchases), and proof of a legitimate business (in the form of a business card, purchase order, etc); then there may be a minimum purchase (often $500 worth) and it is cash/business check/business credit card depending before the goods are furnished until credit is established.

In general, for most, it is a year. And there may be more requirements other than just living there. Like getting your driver's license there or filing your taxes in that state.

Yuma is cheaper but it's 2.5 hours from Phoenix out in the desert- it is only 2.5 hours to San Diego though so that's fun!
Studio apartments in non ghetto areas are on average 550/month.
The cheapest states are most likely south- Texas, Miss, Arkansas, or middle states where no one wants to live- Oklahoma, Kansas.
East coast and west coast are expensive.|||Forget Fountain Hills and Scottsdale.. I recommend North Phoenix, North Glendale and North Peoria.. Also, Surprise has some really great deals.|||There are so many houses in foreclosure or preforeclosure in Arizona right now that you can buy a house for less than rent in most cases. Even in Phoenix, at the Baseline/I-10 intersection, there are apartments for rent for under $700 for a two bedroom. The biggest problem with Arizona is that there aren't a ton of jobs available right now. It's getting slightly better, and we have a lower unemployment than the national average. At 18, and pretty much unskilled, you'll be competing with other people older than you and with more job experience, even for entry level jobs. Being bi-lingual is a huge plus in this state, for obvious reasons. I am hopeful that things will turn around out here, possibly with an influx of companies working on solar energy or companies relocating from the state of California (Arizona is far more employer friendly than CA), but it may take 2-3 more years.

D. the law would have to be upheld by the supreme court before it could be enforced.|||Federal law always comes before state law. So in Arizona these immigrants would not be arrested by local law enforcement or brought to trial in a local court. However, INS would still arrest them and federal court would still deport them.
Also, federal law enforcement could hold the state of Arizona financially responsible for the cost of arresting, detaining, and deporting these immigrants.

The highways are very nice and smooth because less traffic, unlike Calif with bad roads. They have nice rest stops on Hwy 10 and they are clean. In the summer you need the AC on all night and the bill is quite high. The pool was warm after 8 am and people try to put cold water into the pool to cool water down. You cannot walk around very far even with water. There is smog in Phoenix but not like L.A. The university is pretty good, ASU, in Tempe just south of Scottsdale where I was. Some people drive fast on the streets but don't get tickets. And they park wherever they want to in a lot. I am used to polite people in San Francisco. There is a feeling of the wild west sometimes because Arizonans are independent but not progressive. There are a lot of snowbirds in the winter from places like Michigan and illinois and you see a lot of white-haired people who drive slowly. Thats them. Some areas of Phoenix have a lot of crime, some areas are rich. The desert landscaping is beautiful and if you like a deserted road, just 20 miles north of Scottsdale to Carefree it is isolated. There is more rain there and it really comes down. In September they get humid weather from Mexico. The traffic laws are different but you have to check on that yourself. No state has the consumer protections of California. The real estate was much cheaper too and apartments cost half of L.A. or San Francisco.|||I forgot that they dont have all the services California does like State Disability because they are pretty right-wing.

They're also starting to pull people over for speeding even if you're only going 5 miles over limit.

But if a Republican, senior senator from Arizona isn't going to introduce said legislation, who is?
~~~~~~
Instead his website touts his firm stand on immigration:
[Immigration poses a unique challenge to the state of Arizona. John McCain has always believed that our borders must be secure and that the federal government has utterly failed in its responsibility to do so. The recent outbreak in violence on our southern border increasingly threatens the safety and well-being of the citizens of Arizona and all Americans. Our first priority must be to assure the integrity of our southern border while providing robust assistance to Mexico to stem the threat of drug cartel and human smuggling violence. This is an essential first step in moving forward with a comprehensive solution to our border security and immigration challenges.]
[We can further strengthen our border security if we pursue policies that recognize the importance of building strong allies in Mexico and Latin America who support freedom and democracy and seek strong domestic economies with abundant opportunities for their citizens.]
[John McCain does not support amnesty and believes that we should not reward lawbreakers. Any measure designed to fix the broken immigration system must deal with the undocumented population, and as we all know, this is very difficult challenge that attracts a wide range of diverse views and opinions. We need a practical solution for dealing with undocumented immigrants currently living and working in our country and that solution must be carried out in a manner that fosters the social, economic, and security interest of the United States.]

While the desert is noted for it's low humidity, it is also known for it's very high temperatures. I have lived in both areas that are humid and deserts and people who move from an area that does not have high temperatures like coastal New York find they do not like the long hot summer temperatures of the desert such as Yuma, Phoenix, Tucson, Las Vegas and other desert locations where low temperatures during the night can often be in the 90s.
Higher elevation locations which are nearly as dry but cooler could be more acceptable and worth considering as well. They may not be as large of a city or have the conveniences that you may be used to (I don't know how much value you place in being in or near a large metropolitan area.) but have a climate that may be both beneficial and not as extremely hot.
Flagstaff, AZ, Albuquerque, NM, Santa Fe, NM, are possibilities. If you really like mountain coolness and don't mind the elevation problems (most people acclimate within a week or two) then I would look even higher, but smaller towns like Ruidoso, or Cloudcroft in NM or Show Low (Love that name and how it got that name.) in AZ.
Just a suggestion, don't want you moving to an area that you end up hating like some do.
Good Luck on your choice. Choose carefully because moving again is very difficult.|||If you don't want to deal with the hot summers in Arizona but still want low humidity, you can also try southern New Mexico. It's in a different desert than and while it can get hot in the summer, it doesn't get as hot as Arizona. That's because the elevation in on average higher. The nights can cool off quite a bit, especially in the mountain areas. I noticed a previous poster mentioned Ruidoso and Cloudcroft. They are in the mountains but because of their more southerly latitude, their winters are relatively mild. Even though they don't have large populations, they are very popular with tourists.

I moved to Arizona having worked previously in Colorado the same year. When I file in 2008 I want to know if I have to claim both states on each others tax returns and will that make me lose money? I am planning on using Turbo-Tax. Would it be easier to just go to H&R or some place like that?|||Some states require you to report all your income for the year, but pro-rate the tax due based on either how long you lived in the state or what % of income was earned in each state. Some states require you to report only income earned while living there, working there, or both. Either way, you do not lose money. In either case, also check the IRS publication "moving expenses" to see if you are eligible to deduct the cost of moving between states.
If you live in one state while working in another, you must report the income to both states. However, you claim a credit on one of the two returns for the amount of tax paid to one state on the income taxed by both states, so you do not lose money. (Generally, the credit is for the amount paid to whichever state charged less, so your total tax, net of credits, is the same as if you paid tax only to the state with higher taxes.)|||http://www.revenue.state.az.us/
http://www.revenue.state.co.us/TPS_Dir/w鈥?/a>
It gets a bit convoluted anytime you have income from different jurisdictions. Do a Google search for the definitions of 'Domicile' and 'Statutory Residence'. Then research the above sites and make a decision and use Turbo Tax..
Alternatively, look for a seasoned tax preparer.|||You must file a nonresident tax return in Colorado on the amounts you earned there. You file a resident tax return in Arizona on the amount you earned there. At least, that's the way most state taxes work. At the very least, you will file a different tax form in Colorado than you would if you'd lived there the entire year.
Each state has different regulations on whether you declare out-of-state income and taxes paid when you file your resident tax return. Your best bet would be to call your state department of revenue and ask them whether you need to include out-of-state income for which you've filed a nonresident tax return in another state.
Bottom line: you only pay tax on the income in each state once. You are not double-taxed.
Also, you need to file with each state's department of revenue/taxing authority a declaration of change of domicile. Not many people are aware of this requirement - which will allow you to avoid further taxation by the state from which you moved. This becomes more important if you move to another state and die there; it will affect inheritance taxes, etc. It can also affect whether your voter registration can be challenged.|||You can use turbo tax, but you have to buy 2 states versions of it - when you fill it in, show that you were part year residents of each, and turbo tax will calculate who gets what.|||I would go to H&R Block, it would make it much easier.

Arizona passed the bill about restricting the illegal immigration. Obama and the "liberals", together with leftists and those same illegal immigrants, screamed as a cat with the tail sauezzed by the door.
What is the situation with this bill now?|||Oh, Arizona麓s giving a hard time to Obama. Moreover, new American states are joining the battle.
Arizona's Republicans, who previously led the fight by passing a bill that would mandate police to verify whether a suspect was in the United States legally, are again in the forefront. The Obama administration obtained a court order staying the Arizona law on the grounds that immigration was a federal responsibility.
Now the state of Arizona is countersuing the federal government claiming that Arizona has sustained huge costs given the federal government's failure to enforce the immigration laws. Arizona is demanding in excess of $760 million. The popularity of the Arizona law among conservatives is demonstrated by the nearly $3.7 million in contributions that have poured in for its legal defense. Arizona's Governor Jan Brewer, who coasted to reelection in 2010-based on her support for the law, said "We did not want this fight, we did not start this fight鈥?But now that we are in it, Arizona will not rest until our border is secure."
Arizona's Republicans opened another front by proposing a bill requiring hospitals to check whether the patient is in the country illegally. If it is routine treatment, verification will take place prior to treatment; if an emergency, the questioning will wait until the patient is out of danger. Liberals are of course aghast, claiming that the law will deter immigrants from seeking healthcare. Doctors also resent being turned into law enforcement agents. Republicans retort that the hospitals are piling up expenses by treating patients who are in the United States illegally and there is no need to apologize for enforcing the law.
Other states are following in Arizona's footsteps. Republicans in Indiana, now that they control the state House of Representatives, expect to pass a law requiring cops to ask for proof of immigration status if they have arrested someone on an unrelated issue such as a traffic violation. This is expected to create a political hot potato for the state's Republican Governor Mitch Daniels, who bases his claim to the conservative mantle on economic issues, but has so far steered clear of the social minefield. If the bill passes, he will have to sign or veto it.
Utah's veteran Republican Senator Orrin Hatch, claiming that he does not expect any action from Congress, is therefore proposing a law that would secure the country's borders and begin the deportation of illegal immigrants. Hatch said that this bill is a necessary counterweight to the Obama administration's immigration policy, which Hatch accuses of leading to mass amnesty for illegals.
Not all the initiatives come from the anti-immigrant direction. In liberal Oregon, a bill was introduced that would allow students who are not legal immigrants to attend state colleges and pay the much lower in-state tuition. They needed to prove 3 years of attendance and graduation from an Oregon high school as well as active pursuit of naturalization.

There is no English parliament but the scots, welsh, and northern irish have their own. For instance we have an English law going back to 1290 that has never been repealed but these illegal immigrants just flout it and the legal system turns a blind eye.|||We have a lot of "illegals" working in Israel.
I would say most of them are fine people, trying to support their families, some times with them here, sometimes back home.
They haven't taken anyone's job, they are doing work that Israelis -- Jews, Muslims and Christians don't want to do.
The religious right is in favor of doing the Arizona thing, but they haven't figured out who will do all that work, esp. construction, fruit picking, and taking care of the elderly. They aren't lining up for those jobs.|||It is in litigation currently, with both the Federal Government and the State Of Arizona suing each other over implementation of the bill. The British tried a similar tactic and were massacred by Zionist terrorists. For a country whose people inhabited the region recently completely through illegal immigration, that would be slightly hypocritical of them to do, don't you think?|||The US doesnt (yet) shoot illegal immigrants on sight. Israel does. see any checkpoints on the roads in Arizona ? Israel has hundreds.|||If Illegal immigration is a problem, then it should be very restricted or stopped.|||Israel has nothing to do with Arizona
The law says the following:
A law enforcement official or agency of this state or a county, city, town or other political subdivision of this state may not solely consider race, color or national origin in implementing the requirements of this subsection except to the extent permitted by the United States or Arizona Constitution.|||Dumb pasty rednecks don't look like Mexicans.
They won't be hassled by this law.|||So it isn't racist ok well people from all countries come here and believe it or not some are white when they don't get citizenship and their visa expires they are illegal crazy I know. White kid gets arrested for weed probably wont ask for papers hispanic kid gets in same trouble bet you he would. Report Abuse
|||What the law states and what will happen are two different things. There is no way a officer can enforce that law without race being a factor.
Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard opposes SB1070. He stated that the bill "does nothing to improve border security or address the core issues of illegal immigration." He also said it would "take law enforcement resources away from stopping more serious crimes."
The Arizona Association of Chiefs of Police (AAOP) firmly opposes it for fiscal reasons and It contends that it would hinder the investigation of more serious crimes and erode the trust between police and immigrant communities.
Mesa Police Sgt. Bryan Soller, who is president of the Mesa and Arizona Fraternal Order of Police, has expressed similar concerns, stating that the bill "will bankrupt our city."|||Regardless of what the law says, the only way to enforce the law is through racial profiling. The few agencies in the state that actually enforce the law are not going to waste resources randomly selecting people. They will target the group they view as illegals, hispanics. The problem with that is Arizona, bordering Mexico, has always had a very large Hispanic population and it will negatively affect American citizens.
The Republicans can kiss the Hispanic vote goodbye for years. They already lost the black vote, who had traditionally voted Republican until Republicans resisted the New Deal and their later implementation of the Southern Strategy in the late 60's. The Republican party is only responding to its Nativist white base and becoming an even more marginalized regional party.|||If you have no ID, Drivers License, Birth Certificate, Passport, Visa... then you will be under suspicion of being an illegal alien... the law doesn't state anything about race.
___
All children have social security numbers... so there isn't any reason why you would not be able to prove your citizenship if you are stopped by a police officer in Arizona. They probably can check your status on their computers to confirm your status easily enough. As long as your legal you have nothing to worry about.|||Ok, well Wolf. Sadly your wrong. And so many people are getting these views. To become a legal in the United State. You have to know the language. Now there is temp. Visa, also work Visas, and a few more Temp Legal status for eaither possible school, work, etc. But to become a full time legal, you have to know the language. So if some mexican, cant even speak with an officer, thats one good sign that he is an illegal. Another thing, look mexico has so many problems (emphysis on MEXICO) Now when there are over 12 million illegal mexicans, Crossing the border, taking under the counter jobs and sending all that money back to mexico. Drug cartels costantly kindnapping across the border then running back to mexico, and wanting ransome. Killings are all part of mexico. Some mexicans say that this bill will make officers only look for mexicans. Well hmmm, let me think about it. Well since, mexico is right there, no other countries border america from the south. So why on earth would we look for ******* russian or what not when mexicans are the problem. Anyone ever here of tough love, and looking after americas interest..Not spick land|||Now Arizona is the hotbed of xenophobic , you don't want to see it but the Arizona Law that have beens signed clearly showing that any one who looks Mexican or Hispanics is a suspect.

I don;t know about you but you might be living in a bubble.|||People who are against the law don't know what they're talking about. 70% or Arizonans are in favor of this law. They have a kidnapping every day, crime is rampant in the streets, hospitals are filled with people who can't afford it, schools have to educate thousands of kids who don't speak English and taxes are wildly unfair to the legal residents. Phoenix is now a combat zone. And this is all because of illegals. I think we should bow to Arizonans opinions because they're in the best position to know the situation and how to deal with it.
People who are against the law are outsiders throwing stones like the rest of the armchair generals out there.|||I can't go to a shopping center (in almost every city around here) near a Home Depot without being stared down or almost hitting one of these illegals who runs in front of my car. They have been allowed to loiter around, use our education system, and run their scams here long enough. This law will instill some kind of faith for me in this very crippled system. How are we supposed to be proud to be American when more and more non-citizens come here to not benefit our economy (by undercutting citizens wages), but to syphon our dollars back to Mexico? Thank you, I am very Happy. By the way, I love everyone that played by the rules and came here the right way!!!! Yeah for them!!|||"Not solely"
So they can consider race AND national origin?
race AND color? Mix and match.
Does it also specify what "papers" will justify your presence in Arizona? A truck driver was told his license and soc were not enough and was arrested. He is a lifelong citizen. Be extra sure YOU have the correct paperwork on you.|||Seriously, who cares! The only ones crying about this, is the ones that are illegal or the ones that have loved ones that are. If I got pulled over and got asked for paperwork, I would hand it over smiling bc "HA! You don't have me!". Come on, this is getting laim. Police aren't suppose to beat people either but they do! They even beat their own race! The police will do their job accordingly and for the ones that don't will be punished. Like Sheriff Joe stated, "If I pull you over and you have your drivers license and insurance and nothing else, you'll get a ticket and go on with your business....but if you have all that and 10 people piled up in your car, of course I'm going to start asking questions."|||"state may not solely consider race, color or national origin" - that means they must have other criteria in addition. It may still be used as a basis to question. So you don't go to jail for being dark skinned, but you can be asked for your "papers" because you are.|||There is no racism in the bill, in fact is specifically says “may not solely consider race, color or national origin”
People should actually read the bill before making conclusions.|||its the law but they complete bypass it. Come on who are they going to stop, an asian with a suit on or a mexican with a cowboy hat driving a pickup with music blaring. The latter. So yea they are going to use racial profile.

Its all they got. It's last resort politics.|||Its not. but the race card is all the Libs have. I have never been pulled over or went through a DUI check point without being asked for my ID.|||Because they are going to stop a mexican-american. But I will stick my middle finger at them.|||thats anti-racist... its saying that they CANT base their decisions on race alone.|||Well said!|||The law is not racist at all.
I think the liberals are just playing the race card to get as many illegals in the country as possible and then signing them up as voters for the Dems.
It isn't like many Dems will be voting Democratic any more after the healthcare debacle and everything else slammed down our throats.
All residents, when stopped by police, must show that they are legal residents, even if they are blond haired, blue eyed and speak perfect American English. If they don't have the necessary ID, any and all of them will be subject to arrest, not just those who may be suspected by the police. That would be fair. I wonder how many Arizona residents would support that instead of the current legislation?|||I don't believe the Arizona Law actually requires all citizens to carry ID with them at all times.
In fact, no where else in the country is that true.
You have to have ID for certain activities, such as driving. Also, businesses can require you show ID.
But not having it, is not a crime.
Police can ask you for name, address, etc., if you are being arrested, detained, or on a suspicion you committed or were going to commit a crime, or even witnessed a crime.|||They wouldn't, what's your point?
If you are driving a motor vehicle and you don't have a license, you're busted no matter what your legal status is.
Any time you are cited for anything, the cops need to know who you are and thus, your legal status. You can only be questioned about your legal status if you are being stopped for some other matter.
THAT, Arizona residents don't have a problem with.|||So what? Is that a major inconvenience? The police can stop me for all I care. What do I have to worry about?
This whole racial profiling thing has gone beyond stupid.|||LIBERAL CA has a law saying all residents over 18 has to show cops a state photo ID if asked.............
i don't see whats the difference since a state ID is proof of citizenship.|||it happens to be the law. if stopped and asked by police you must show a form of id or drivers license.|||I believe most states require adults to carry I.D.'s.|||For one thing they can't stop you unless you are committing a CRIME and if I was asked to show my proof so what no big deal i have nothing to hide|||Driver's License will suffice.|||They can always move to your State|||I can't remember the last time I left home without my driver's license.

Its about 20 miles outside of Phoenix. If you live near "Old Town Gilbert" (named so because they have most of the original "old west" buildings there) your between 5 and 7 miles from two different malls (great for when you 13 is older and wants to hang out with friends) There are parks everywhere. If you have dogs Gilbert's Cosmo Dog Park was named best Dog Park in 2007. Right now the weather is nice, most of the winter you can just open the doors and windows during the day and let it cool off the house. At night we just close up and turn on fans (not really any need to run the heat). The only part i dislike about living here is that the summers are (obviously) very very hot. Its not a dry heat like everyone claims, but its not as sticky as some cities i've vacationed in. You just have to learn to work around it. For instance, the time to take a walk or let the kids run out and play during the summer would be around before10 am and after 6pm. During early to mid afternoon the sun is very high and you run the risk of sunburn and dehydration if you don't know what you're doing. Its also just darned uncomfortable to be out when its that hot.

All Arizona is asking for is for our law enforcement to be given the right to enforce the Federal Immigration Laws.. Arizona is having great difficulty with battling illegal immigration. WE ARE NOT AGAINST IMMIGRATION! WE ARE NOT RACIST! (besides Illegal is NOT a race)
We just want the immigrants to come here legally. That’s all.
We have done everything we can for those that enter our county legally. We have special court systems for the Spanish speaking. Our schools are required to offer ESL classes (English as a Second Language). Our election ballots, hospital admission forms, unemployment forms, job applications,banking forms, etc are in English and Spanish. We are not going door to door asking for IDs. We are asking that in the normal course of Police Business, the police are allowed to establish they are here legally by asking for a drivers lic or ID.
Where our frustration comes in, is when you see pictures of our desert severely littered by the illegals, (Can provide horrific pictures) when the illegals are smuggling massive amounts of drugs across the border, when the illegals ambush our patrolling law enforcement w/AK-47s, when S.Arizona land owners are being shot and killed on their own property and if the owners are not killed they are losing livestock by the 100’s because they are being injured/killed/eaten by the border crossers, when illegals kidnap their own countrymen/woman and children, torturing, starving and holding them hostage within our neighborhoods, when my child’s school can no longer offer educational programs because the extra funds MUST go to ESL program, when state programs offered for low income children are being obliterated because Arizona funds are paying for the delivery of “anchor babies” and medical care of illegals , when they bring their drug cartel wars on to American soil, when they march in our streets waving THEIR nation’s flag, demanding OUR rights.

Three years ago in the middle of January it got down to 19 degrees once in the early morning hours. Many times it has been in the mid-twenties and thirties. You can die from exposure unless you are prepared with heat, shelter and warm clothing.
Many times in winter the high temperatures are in the forties and fifties, so you can just imagine how cold the nights get when the Sun goes away.|||It definitely can! People don't realize that nights in Arizona can drop below freezing. We live in the city and often wake up with frost on our car windows in December, January and February.
Be very careful about camping in the desert. People make the mistake of camping in areas that look safe and end up being dry creek beds that are periodically hit with flash floods. And some areas of the desert are used by drug smugglers from Mexico and can be a bit dangerous. And most of the land immediately surrounding the cities is owned by various Native American tribes. They will arrest you if you camp on their land.|||Ehh, the coldest it will get even in my city is 32-35 minimum, so for about 2 months it could be that cold. Not much different though from my town vs desert. Get a good sleeping bag, and some coals.|||Yes it can be cold there
I moving their soon
What is the average temperature in December and winter moths
Also is it dry heat???
Thanks!(;|||I just moved out of Arizona!
Average temperature in winter months would be ranging from 50 to 20 degrees fahrenheit.
10 to -6 celsius.
In the summer and spring and a bit of fall, yes VERY dry heat.
Also, Arizona only has two seasons. Winter and Summer. It never snows, the wind just blows. Summer gets dire hot.
It does snow in Flagstaff a lot though, and in that region of the state.
You get the occasional snowfall wherever you move to though.
But it only comes about once every two years in the southern part.
Good luck, I wish you the best.|||The elevations in Arizona are very different ranging from the desert around Phoenix to 7,000 ft. and higher in the White Mountains and around Flagstaff.
The areas that are the higher elevations do have all four seasons with snow and ice in the winter.
Phoenix does not get winter. This site gives you the average winter temperatures for Phoenix month by month. http://phoenix.about.com/od/weather/a/av鈥?/a>
Yes, we do have for the most part a dry heat - like the heat you feel when you open an oven and it hits you in the face.|||-WHERE are You moving to in AZ ??? The Deserts are in the 60's by Day, & around 40 at Night (with 2 or 3 showery days a month). While the Mountains are around 40 by Day, and in the Teens at Night (with 5 to 7 showery/ or snowy days a month). So it ALL Depends on WHERE in Arizona- You move to... :)|||in the dead of winter, it's like high 60s, low 70s. Sometimes it can be in the 50s.
At night, it's colder of course.
Also, if you live in higher elevations, like Flagstaff, it can get plenty of snow.|||Their? Their what? What are winter moths? If there were only some resource where you could locate this information?|||it's pretty nice during the winter and all other months but when it hits summer, it's a scorcher. D:
what do people think of arizona, is it a popular state or does no one talk about it so when you hear arizona what do you think|||i'm from cali and visited Tempe just a few weeks ago..it was awesome! Yes, it was hot..but not intolerable. It's a great party town and the people are friendly! Also visited Sedona and Jerome. It was beautiful! I will alway think of the great time I had when I was there when I hear "Arizona"!|||I live there so I always hear about it! I love it though!|||It's dry and hot, however Phoenix and Maricopa County area is the new up and coming areas to move to. I think it made top 5. It's still dry and hot and when it does rain they have flash flooding as the ground is so hard it can't absorb water fast enough.|||Hot. Has nice places. Not for me.|||i lived in Arizona for 7 years and when i hear Arizona i cannot wait to go back! one of my favorite states|||Arizona is a very diverse state. We have everything from Phoenix that is around 112 degrees, on average, during the summer to Flagstaff that is our "snowbowl" for skiing, and just about everything in between. Cactus to Aspens and Pines. If you don't like heat, and I mean really really hot weather for 6 months of the year, then Southern Arizona is not the place for you. Northern Arizona is very nice. Sedona is about as pretty as it gets and it has seasons, unlike southern AZ.
There is really not much to do here for as big as it is. Unless you are into sports or movies. We have a Baseball arena, Basketball arena, Football stadium, both college and professional and that is about it. A few water parks, a few lakes that are a joke as we are losing so much water they are barely bigger than ponds now. So, hot, dry and boring in southern part, beautiful, laid back and interesting in Northern.|||i think of that lake that everybody goes on during spring break. I lived in New Mexico and colorado for about 4 years|||I dont know...but just seeing the question being AZ was funny looking....made me smile.
my family is planning to move to arizona soon, is the economy good there, my dad is in construction is that popular there?? jobs etc.|||Construction is a top industry in Arizona, the problem is that right now Arizona's economy is in a major slump --and so the housing/building industry isn't doing as well as normal. But if your dad is in construction, Arizona is a good place to go.
The economy is very bad right now, but that is generally true for the rest of the USA.

THe winters here are outstanding. The summers are brutally hot.|||My step dad is in construction. He's a foreman and he wasn't working at all for a while and we had to move to a less expensive house because of it. Construction is big here but depends on what kind because my step dad was doing houses and ended up doing work far from the valley. Report Abuse
|||Construction is HUGE... i can't even go anywhere with out seeing a construction site... economy is just like everywhere else right now in the US it sucks, but phoenix is still exspanding don't you worry.. :]... oh i live in phoenix so i would know... oh btw get ready for the summer heat oh yeah 110 degree weather can't wait... lol|||It depends on where in Arizona your moving to. Im guessing you'll be moving to the Phoenix area. Good luck! Its beautiful here!
