(The Center Square) - The Arizona State Senate Military Affairs and Border Security Committee passed on Monday Senate Bill 1294, which seeks to provide a prison to the federal government to house illegal immigrants.

SB 1294 passed with a 4 to 3 vote along party lines. It has one more committee stop before going to the state Senate for deliberation.

At the bill’s hearing, Sen. John Kavanagh, R-Scottsdale, the sponsor of SB 1294, said the federal government is increasing its enforcement of immigration laws “at the border and internally.”

Kavanagh added there will be a need for detention facilities to house people adjudicating their immigration status and people with deportation orders.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Yeah but GITMO doesn’t provide jobs to Arizona. I would tell Arizona no because I don’t trust them not to stick their nose into the prison and demand special treatment for the gangbangers, rapists, and murderers that are housed there.

Who will provide the guards? From what I've read there is a nationwide shortage of prison guards. I know there is in Texas. I also wonder if Arizona's prisons are air conditioned. It shouldn't be an issue, but you know some lib group will shout "cruel and inhumane" if they aren't.
