Ladies and gentlemen, it is finally a cold day in hell for me. for the first time that I can remember, I am siding with a Republican law. Sorry ACLU, Al Sharpton, and the remainder of those bleeding hearts out there who think that it is wrong for a state to do something about an influx of illegals coming into the state every day. the federal government has done nothing to stop the flow of illegals, and they have had plenty of time to come up with a plan that works. Now. it is our turn!
My family owns quite a bit of land in and around Tucson, which happens to be 40 miles or so from the U.S./Mexico border. Much of the property is located in between the city and the border and we've had more than our share of illegals cutting through our fences, stealing our tools or whatever they can find, and harassing our employees. I guess that we could help them out with their fears of racial profiling by just shooting them when they are caught on our turf. We can do that if we so desire.
Anyway. here is the problem which I beleive many people are having with the new law.
…state and local police to determine the status of people if there is “reasonable suspicion” that they are illegal immigrants and to arrest people who are unable to provide documentation proving they are in the country legally.
It also makes it a crime to transport someone who is an illegal immigrant and to hire day laborers off the street. neoneocon.com
Everyone seems to be worrying about "racial profiling.” So what? You cannot move the illegals out of the state/country unless you know who you are looking for. Everyone knows that it is the Latino persuasion who produces the most illegals in the state of Arizona. In many cases, those Latino's who are here legally have a habit of placing their illegal friends and relatives in their own homes in order to keep them from getting arrested and deported.
Asking for an i.d. and/or legal documents for proof that you belong here is not racial and it isn't profiling! that is just the way that things have to be for the time being.
Critics and those other bleeding hearts can rant and rave all that you want, but, something has to be done about this problem. 70 percent of Arizona voters approve of this measure so the rest of you jack-asses can get over it. If you have a better idea that will solve the problem and that will actually work, then lets hear it!
I didn't think so.
Arizona Governor, Jan Brewer:
"We in Arizona have been more than patient waiting for Washington to act, but decades of inaction and misguided policy have created a dangerous and unacceptable situation."
