A Supreme Court decision on SB 1070 is not expected until at least Monday.

Opponents of the law said they'll protest in front of the Phoenix offices of Immigration and Customs Enforcement if the court rules in favor of the law.

The leader of the Immigrant Advocacy Foundation, Carlos Galindo, in Phoenix said he's getting texts that show that those protests could be violent.

Galindo was especially shocked by one that read "Get ready for war against these haters! If SB 1070 passes, it will be Hell on Earth! Get armed and be ready on the street."

Galindo hopes the protests will be peaceful.

"I am asking for calm," he said. "I'm telling people, 'You need to conscious that you have to deal with this in a responsible manner.'"

Galindo is also pleading with illegal immigrants to stay in Arizona if the court approves the bill. He said the state's economy could not withstand another mass exodus of immigrants out of Arizona.

    Take it some where else. If anything happens it is blood on your hands for acting like some sort of leader. The legal citizens of this country will fill the jobs.

    The result of poor journalism. Did Mr. McClay see the text? And one text to make a provocative, albeit short and poorly reported, text does not a story make. This kind of reporting is irresponsible and no respectable news person or editors would let it fly. One source? Come on.

    Try not to take Obamas bait to pit us against others. Back up, look at the big picture and realize that it is not the fault of illegal immigrants who have been enticed and pandered to by our current government. Demonstrations and possible violence are byproducts of Obamas policies. This is a temporary problem. If Obama is re-elected, they will be legalized and further supported on our dime. If not, they will be dealth with in a fair way that will end the confusion, inequity and mayhem.

The reason they can not apply for citizenship after coming here illegally is due to the law not racism.Maybe if these spanish t.v. and radio station would tell the truth this wouldn't be happening but when you ignore the fact that they(illegals) knowingly and purposely broke the law they have to pay the consequences of their actions. Rewarding illegals only creates more illegals.
