Do You Agree with Arizona’s New Immigration Law?

Do You Agree with Arizona’s New Immigration Law?

Arizona signed into law a new “controversial” law which makes it a crime to be an illegal immigrant.  Strange, because I thought that being illegal in the first place was a crime.  With more and more violent crimes being committed by illegals, an increasing drug and smuggling trade, and virtually nothing being done by the federal government, Arizona has taken the right step.

Obama has had a fit because illegal immigrant are a big part of his base of the entitlement class, and if they aren’t here, they can’t support him. 

What do you think?

People who 'wonder' but don't care to 'know'. Gotta love 'em. Well FWIW you're not alone - Obama, Holder & Napolitano are right there with ya.

 

Yes.  Indeed.  I have made a casual observation and openly wondered whether was a downstream result of a cultural current of which I have little experience with.  Clearly, I embody the worst qualities in the President and members of his cabinet. 

 

Dude,  get a grip.

Uninformed 'casual observations' are precisely the problem.  In too many cases apparently intentionally uninformed.  Not saying that's the case with you, but I have some difficulty deciding which is worse.

Perhaps your clear intensity over the issue is making you see things;

 

Maybe not in the insightful way which you think.

Pretty funny - someone who hears things accuses me of seeing things. ;)

Agreed, so let's cut off its trafficking, in part, as a by product of illegal immigration. Two birds one stone.

I'm guessing this has more to do with the hotel rather than anything. I noticed that two people house keepers were speaking Spanish until I came around the corner and immediately shifted to English.

Well, they say it's rude to speak another language in front of people who don't understand it. maybe they were being polite... :rofl:

Well, technically weed is not dangerous, it's the people who use it. *_*

Could be, just noting this because the vast majority of Spanish speakers do not.  Hence, my notice.

The latest sanctimonious, ignorant racist Democrat to jump on the bandwagon.

Ha funny, she's afraid illegals will be treated as second class citizens. If she is looking for racist's, she has to look no further than La Raza. Any other "race based" group would be catching hell. It is amazing...  the double standards that favor some of the groups that cry racism the loudest.

They have to, otherwise, the news media would have to report how racist they are.  First rule of liberalism, always accuse your opponents of your crimes, to deflect attention from what you are doing.

Warning!  Godwin's law

That is what the Nazis did with Krystalnacht.  Liberals learned that lesson well from their socialistic brethren.

Have you ever noticed that liberals are all against 'racial profiling", but are all about financial profiling, political profiling and any other profiling that furthers their agenda?

Only when it works to their advantage.  It was FDR after all that Interned the Japanese.   And it was Obama who excluded white males from his re-election plans.

Well, I'm back from Austin.  Spread a few of the tip cards around, but when it came down to it, I couldn't bring myself to stiff the workin' stiffs & just 'added' them to the normal tips I gave.  Confined myself to the hotel & spent virtually nada, though.  So THERE, Austin.

On a lighter note, getting ready to take my grandchildren to San Diego for the usual summer tourist stuff & heard a rumor today that vandals have taken to targeting vehicles with AZ plates over there.  Bashing lights, knifing tires, spray painting, that sort of thing.  SD & LA areas.

Nice (and brilliant) way to treat guests, no?  I'd be interested to hear confirmation (or otherwise) of those rumors before heading over there.  Certainly not seeing any news reports.

Welcome back Daiwa.  As for the Arizona issue, seems that the propagandist are really gearing up (I suspect they know they will lose the law suit).  After 3 years, CNN finally found out about Prince Williams County Va (same law).  Seems the law has worked so well that violent crime is down 38% in those 3 years.  But what did CNN focus on?  An illegal saying she was afraid to go outside for fear of being arrested.  Seems she is the only one that is afraid these days as most law abiding citizens have a lot less fear about going out these days.

But we should feel sorry for the criminal.  Like the pedophile/murderer in Florida that just got 300 years knocked off his sentence and is now a free man.  Poor man!  He had to spend time in jail, and for what?  Molesting a bunch of boys and then trying to kill the witnesses.

Yep, we are bad people.  We actually feel more for the victims than we do the perps.

Doc, don't you know what they do to pedophilers in prison! We are bad people.  Note to all that was sacrastic. 

I will say this obviously deporting illegals doesn't work and jailing them cost us money.  What I would do is fine whatever country they are coming from.  Besides, prison and jail in the way the legal system has set them up now a days is no longer affective.

Precisely the tactic our local rag has adopted.  All sob story, all the time.  That has failed to dent the polls in favor of the law, however, so lately they've moved to the secondary effects - sob stories about the legal businesses which catered to the illegals now suffering - somber melodramatic accounts of how business used to be so good at this south Phoenix taco shop but now the place is empty.  Also getting stories about the glut of yard sales the past couple of weeks as people rustle up money to get out of Dodge.

No stories about the sudden drop in wait times at local ER's or the sudden solitude in OB wards.

Yea, JU's sarcasm tag are not working these days. ;)

I heard that idea from one of the talk radio hosts.  But politics being what they are, it will never happen.  Regardless of whom is in the white house.

I know, that was part 2 of the story.  But I did my part.  I still patronize the latino markets (mostly because you cannot find chorizo, menudo, or decent hominy in the chains).  So they will survive.  Just with a bunch of gringos patronizing them instead of illegals.

Maybe it has something to do with high unemployment, a recession in progress, and everyone is tightening their belt due to the unknown effects the latest round of government bills is going to have. Of course if one believes the administration's line... everything is hunky dory.

Judge Bolton doesn't seem to agree with much of it.  She enjoined enforcement of most of it today.

She appears to think that the only ones that are required to obey the laws of the land are citizens.  Since she struck down parts that are enforced in all 50 states - like presenting ID.

It does confirm one thing that has been rumored.  Democrat appointed judges do not know the law, nor do they know how to read it.
