You know, I find it funny as hell that people get upset when a law is passed that says you have to enforce the existing laws. Since when do we need a new law just to tell people that they have to enforce laws that are already in place? Isn’t that like putting a band-aid on top of another band-aid? AND THIS IS STATE GOVERNMENT!
Illegal immigration is so vast that it really is impossible to lay a correct number to it in order to see the extent of the problem. I heard the number today and I already forgot what it was, but it was big.
Now, I’m only half Mexican, and I really can’t relate to the plight of Mexicans that are trying to get to the good ol’ USA. But I can understand why they are doing it. That’s neither here nor there, though.
I know I’ve touched on this before, but due to the current political climate, it’s worth hitting it again here. Illegal immigration is “ILLEGAL”…hence AGAINST THE LAW! If people are entering the country illegally, then A) they have no Constitutional rights, B) are a burden to the economical climate of today’s society, and C) are therefore…fugitives of justice! The fact that (reportedly) 95% of the illegal immigrants are Mexican, gives law enforcement the right to profile Mexicans! Not because of their race or ethnicity, but because we KNOW that it is predominantly Mexican nationals that are crossing the Arizona boarder! Is this not common sense???
70% of Arizona citizens are for the new law. 60% of the Mexican citizens in Arizona are for the new law. Doesn’t that speak for itself?
People that cry racism at every turn amaze and infuriate me. I think they do it to get themselves noticed for whatever reason. Most times the racism card is being played, it’s only to stir tensions throughout the American people, and mostly against the conservative leadership. At least from what I’ve seen…there has never been any merit to the claims!
Al Sharpton…Just shut the hell up.
I’m for the apprehension of ALL illegal immigrants. Though for the most part, I understand why they are doing it, but that doesn’t make it right….or legal. Be it Mexicans, Chinese, Korean, Middle-easterners, Cubans…whomever! They need to boxed up and shipped back to their country of origin. To pay for this, we subtract that cost from the aid that we currently give those counties.
Liberals have just gotten too silly on this! If we are to be a nation of laws (one of the things that has made this country the greatest country in the world), then we must enforce the laws. It’s for the safety of the American people, and the nation as a whole.
Liberals…if you’re going to play the racism card, you better have legitimate grounds for playing it. When you don’t…you just weaken your cause and you look like a complete ass. Guess that explains your mascot!
For love of the U.S. Constitution!

I worked with a lot of Cambodian and Laos immigrants who worked VERY HARD to become citizens. One Diem, waited *seven years* to bring over his wife so she could be legal. My great grandfather saved his earnings so he could buy out my g grandmother’s indenture and he could marry her.
I understand that it’s hard for folks, but if I snuck into France, I’d be quiet and careful and not vocal and a PITA.
I think they’re looking at the lesser problem-how about the people being brought in as slaves from the former soviet republic? Child trafficking from Haiti? I agree we need enforcement more than New Laws. And that’s where we would really do some good.
Besides, more laws will not stop people from hiring cheap, illegal labor. It really is a slap to folks who did it above board to just think legislation will do better than example and action.
In the Arizona law, particular attention was given to address the hiring of cheap labor. It also made it illegal for day workers to congregate on corners waiting for a pick up…which also cuts down on the littering.
The law doesn’t make it open season on illegal immigrants, but at least now, if they have someone stopped, they can check on their citizen status as well.
I’m all for immigrants coming to America and trying to make a better life for themselves. But coming here illegally and sucking off of the welfare tit of America is not what I’m down for. This stuff needs to be brought under control.
The new law just says that they have to enforce the existing laws, and they used federal cases to back up the legislation. I like it….and I hope it does some good.
Great to hear from you Holly!
