Next month, two Rhode Island state lawmakers, a Democrat and a Republican, will travel to Arizona to speak with Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, local sheriffs, and other officials about how to better craft their own bipartisan immigration bill for Rhode Island, which already has been enforcing some federal immigration laws.
Meanwhile, 11 Republican state lawmakers from Colorado traveled to Arizona this week to meet with officials there on how to craft legislation for the Mile High state.
In addition, Alabama House Republicans announced this week that they would seek to “push an illegal immigration bill similar to the recently approved Arizona law.” This law would “create a new criminal trespass statute that allows local law enforcement to arrest illegal immigrants for simply setting foot in Alabama,” said Alabama’s House Minority Leader Mike Hubbard.
In Florida, proposed legislation against illegal immigration has been retooled to address some concerns raised by a federal judge who blocked the bill, though it would still allow Florida state police to enforce immigration law.
In all, there are 22 states considering copycat legislation from the Arizona law against illegal immigration, according to the Americans for Legal Immigration Political Action Committee (ALIPAC), a group that advocates for stricter immigration enforcement.

You won't hear this on the government controlled media !
I am so glad to see people finally standing up to hussien and the illegal alien invaders (one and the same). I wonder how many more millions (or billions) will the regime waste suing everybody over this? I also wonder (not) if our lawmakers in Annapolis will do the right thing and jump on the bandwagon. Don't hold your breath.
As the slower lower sinks further into the abyss.
Saw this on Facebook: Illegal immigration is not a new problem. The Native Americans called it white people. Love it!
12:00 White people didn't immigrate they kicked there ass's and took it don't be confused .
12:00 which proves we are be invaded by an enemy of the state.
The "white people" didn't come here with their hands our expecting someone to support their every needs.
22 states considering this... so that means there are another 27 that the illegals will all move to. Wonder how long it will take before those states will jump on the band wagon.
22 + 27 = ??? hmmmm. obama jr math?
1:29 considering it would be a hell of swim to Hawaii you can count that one out. I would have to take away Alaska also because they would be arrested in Canada.
I think the other 49 states would adopt Arizona's law. Could you imaging the money it would save the American people??? Now, how many zero's would that be?

I knew someone would comment...... HELL no its not Obama math. The article said 22 were JOINING Arizona. 22 + ARIZONA + 27 is 50. Read the article again I guess you learned Obama logic.
