AZCentral reported:
Hundreds of people supporting Arizona’s new law cracking down on illegal immigration rallied near the state Capitol on Saturday afternoon in soaring temperatures.
Hundreds of motorcycle riders kicked off the downtown Phoenix rally by riding in a procession around the Capitol. Supporters waved American flags and some carried signs that read “What part of illegal don’t they understand?”
When temps soar to 105°, I tend to be near a pool if I’m going to spend any amount of time outside. So kudos to those folks for coming out.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, perhaps best known for his efforts targeting illegal immigrants, drew loud chants of “Joe, Joe, Joe!” when he spoke to the audience at the rally.
One man yelled to him: “We’ve got your back, Joe!”
Arpaio praised lawmakers for passing the law and reiterated that he’ll lock up as many illegal immigrants as his deputies can arrest.
“We’ll put tents from here to Mexico,” he told the crowd, referring to his famed Tent City, a section of the county jail where all inmates are housed in surplus military tents.
Ted Hayes, a black homeless advocate, activist and Republican, also spoke at the rally:

As Ovomit’s zombies awake from their stuper, they are slowly becomming aware of who the Democraps and the President represents. The Dems care more about illegal citizens than the 10% unemployed U.S. citizens/taxpayers. Of all citizens, African Americans should really be pissed off. Unemployment is highest in their communities. They should also be outraged by Rev Jackson and Sharpton, who are supporting this illegal B.S. Next time you’re in a line at the super market, and the person in front of you lays down a load of food stamps, but can’t speak a word of english, you can thank the “progressives” for complete destruction of our country.

I support AZ’s law. It is important that there is rule of law. Those who don’t support it should be kicked out of office. There is no room in office for those who don’t support the law in public office!

I support the law as a black man in Los Angeles! Enough is enough.
