| | A bill targeting illegal immigration in Arizona has passed the Arizona State Senate along party lines. Republican Sen. Janae Shamp's legislation dubbed the "Arizona Border Invasion Act" would criminalize crossing into Arizona under state law unless it is through a legal port of entry at the United States-Mexico border. In addition, Senate Bill 1231 would give civil immunity to government employees who would enforce the proposed law. "Well, I think what it's gonna do is put the focus back where it needs to be with the states," Shamp told The Center Square. "They're not enforcing anything," she said regarding the Biden administration's handling of the border crisis. The Republican is hoping that it will ultimately get the signature of Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs. | | | NOTABLE QUOTES | Brad Slager contributor to RedState.com: . . . we see by now that whenever there is a deviation from the expected characteristics of a shooter the coverage is notably different. In fact, it has become a cliched punchline that if the featured individual is found to be a member from one of the protected minority classes then the response becomes, “... And that’s when the story disappeared from the front page.” Auguste Meyrat contributor to The Federalist: While a monument can bring a community together by its beauty and truth, an anti-monument divides a community through its ugliness and evil. Warner Todd Huston contributor to World Net Daily: The left despises homeschooling, and this list of homeschooling parents is only being proposed so that Democrat-affiliated officials can identify homeschooling households solely for the purpose of pinning down where they are, so officials can move in and begin forcing them to toe the left’s line on “education.” Meanwhile, government-operated schools in cities like Jackson, Detroit, Flint and other blue-led inner-city Michigan schools, are still failing miserably. | | | MORE ARTICLES | Islamic scriptures approve and encourage the killing of non-Muslims and militants in Nigeria have zealously carried out a decades-long genocide against Christians that has left over 60,000 dead and many more kidnapped or displaced. In fact, Nigeria is the most dangerous nation in the world to be Christian. The West usually ignores the violence against Christians in multiple African nations, but even when the EU recently took notice, its wokeness led to an utterly preposterous diagnosis of the genocide’s cause. | | Numerous Nevada voters discovered on Sunday that there were worrisome errors in their voting history. Nevada was also one state with evidence of mass election fraud in the 2020 election. Nevada’s Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar is a Democrat, and the state has a history now of sketchy election proceedings. Can we trust Aguilar when he claims to have fixed a voting irregularity? | | The Arizona-based Goldwater Institute has developed a new series of educational videos called Foundations of Freedom. It seems many people absorb information today more readily on videos than reading. Whatever the method used, we think what the Goldwater Institute has done here is quite good and urge you to view their videos. The series will include other subjects as well, including such topics as property rights, free speech, equality, the environment, and the abolition of slavery. | | MUST SEE VIDEOS | | | | | | | ABOUT THE PRICKLY PEAR | The Prickly Pear (ThePricklyPear.org) is focused on delivering timely, fact-based news, and citizen opinion that reflects our mission to “inform, educate and advocate about the principles of limited government and personal liberty.” Please follow us on Twitter @PricklyPear_AZ for all our latest content. | | |
