I live in AZ. This bill is most likely in response to a rancher in Southern AZ George Allen Kelly who was forced to use his weapon to defend his ranch. Cartel members were shooting at him and his family. He returned fire. Reported it to the police who a few days later found a dead illegal on his property. This man Kelly was then arrested and place in jail. He was elderly and his wife was sick, yet the democrats who run this state decided to make an example of him, kept him locked up and unable to care for his sick wife or manage his ranch which had numerous incursions and violent episodes leading up to this event. This bill would remedy that situation

Just in! California passes a bill requiring property owners to help thieves jam stolen merchandise into the back of their tinted out Infinitis. The potential for looters to throw out their back while they rob you blind is too damn high!

What's more unbelievable to me is the restraint these homeowners have demonstrated by not shooting illegal aliens who are illegally on their property.

Whoa...that sounds like they're law abiding citizens.

Looks like if you don’t trespass you don’t get shot.

“… undocumented immigrants, who often have to cross ranches that sit on the state's border with Mexico.”

They just HAVE TO. Like baby sea turtles trying to reach the sea, there’s simply no choice involved.

Your world is screwed up when you can't defend your own property from trespasser's.

Good work bringing the actual text of the bill. Way less alarming and divisive that way.

What they are saying without saying it out loud is: most of the trespassers threatening ranch owners are illegal immigrants and we are okay with that. Because Americans who own land are literally Hitler

Fuck around and find out. Imagine being on (acres)YOUR LAND and having these illegal invaders somewhere in the vicinity of you and your family.

It’s a wrap.

What’s really aggravating is you can demonstrate these sorts of manipulations to MSM true believers and they just shrug it off. They don’t deny the manipulation because they can’t. They just don’t think it’s a big deal that they’re constantly being misled, as long as they feel they’re being misled in a direction that feeds their biases.

As long as they’re being fed a narrative that reinforces biases like “Republicans bad and violent and racist. Guns bad. Immigrants innocent victims,” truth and accuracy are beside the point. For these people, the Axios reporting is poetically true, if not literally so. And that’s all that matters. They love their “moral clarity” journalism.

The bill protects from prosecution those who have to use lethal force to protect themselves and their families on their own property when threatened with violence. So the media implies that they think it will largely be “migrants” who trespass with violent intent. And they’re probably right.

That’s the inescapable logic.

Give me a break! many of these "undocumented migrants" AKA illegal aliens are criminals, child traffickers, drug mules, etc etc adnauseum....whatever happened to respect for private property??

I like this law....it would have a positive effect on the poor people living near the border who suffer the effects of our unlawful government all the time

Axios reporter April Rubin writes, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that Arizona legislators propose legalizing killing undocumented migrants. Axios, A WEBSITE KNOWN FOR PUBLISHING FAR-LEFT CONSPIRACY THEORIES, claims Republicans in Arizona want to legalize murder.

This is totally unreasonable and the work of rabid fascists under the influence of Sean Hannity.

Everybody knows you’re supposed to offer the cartel coyote crossing your land with the child prostitutes, fentanyl , Hezbollah operatives and methamphetamines a Joe Biden ball cap and some lavender kombucha when they point their AR-15 at you. Maybe have a cookout!

A few years ago, a friend of mine accompanied his son, who wanted to study journalism, on college tours. The student guide showing them the journalism school said, “We comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.” My friend asked, “Why don’t you just report the truth?” His son chose a different major.
