Immigration Reform in Arizona, Mixed Feelings All Around
One thing is obvious, if an American goes to China and overstays their welcome without asking permission from the Chinese government, you would say that that American is staying in China illegally. But what about Mexicans that are doing just that in America? Don't they know that they are here illegally?
It is pretty obvious that if you are a foreigner that it is your responsibility to tell the hosting country when you enter and when you exit their country. To not inform the hosting company simply implies that there is intent on the entrant to stay in the country illegally! In addition, it is widely known that the Mexican government (on a local level) promotes illegally entering the USA as a solution to their social problems. After all, if the USA pays the tab for their education and health care they don’t have to. In addition, what happens in a world where there are 200 plus countries and 1 country wants special consideration to allow its millions of illegal entrant's legal status in the country next door?
Well, then you have the problem that Mexico presents to the United States of America.
American people understand that the Mexican government is deliberately allowing its people to come to America because they don't want to take care of those people. And, just how many Mexicans are illegally in the USA? Well, via an estimate from a site called the American Resistance there are more than 12,000,000 illegal Mexican immigrants in the USA. For that many immigrants to cross over to a neighboring country points to it being a strategy of the intruding country.
And now Arizona has taken a controversial step identify and deport illegal immigrants. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed into law the toughest legislation against illegal immigration Friday, April 23, 2010 making it a crime under state law to be in the country illegally. It would also require local police officers to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are illegal immigrants. The bill takes effect in 90 days.
Talking to folks on the streets reveals many mixed blessings. For instance, it is well known that immigrants suck billions of dollars from the states that service them. It is also apparent that illegals pay no taxes to support the schools and roads that they attend. In addition, many Mexican Hispanics don't even feel that it is necessary to learn English to be in the USA. Thus, additional languages must be added to county, state, and federal material.
Thus, it is apparent that the federal government will have to come up with a comprehensive solution that could solve the problem. The solution will most likely involve deportation as well as selective citizenship appointments. The bottom line is that Mexico will end up needing to support their citizens more.
So what do you think? Did Governor Jan Brewer make the right move? Will this stop the arrogance of folks that willfully break the law or will it make surrounding states empower themselves with the same laws of Arizona?

I have always thought that Mexican immigrants and others smaller latin countries in particular thought that it was their right to be able to illegally live in this country. Folks from Nigeria, England, etc., and every foreign college student knows that visiting OUR country is temporary. I do see that the Arizona reform bill will be the impetus of a fully realized national bill complete with a border wall, surveillance, agreements from the Mexican government to limit their entry and more. The AZ bill is a hastily designed solution full of racial overtures, but it will make the federal government start designing some solutions. Education is a tool. Use it. -

Opponents Want feds to Refuse to Enforce[/url] PHOENIX - The conflict over a sweeping crackdown on illegal immigration in Arizona intensified Monday as vandals smeared refried beans in the shape of swastikas on the state Capitol's windows. More protests were planned Monday after thousands gathered this weekend to demonstrate against a bill that will make it a state crime to be an illegal immigrant in Arizona. Opponents say the law will lead to rampant racial profiling and turn Arizona into a police state with provisions that require police to question people about their immigrant status if they suspect they are here illegally. Day laborers can be arrested for soliciting work if they are in the U.S. illegally, and police departments can be sued if they don't carry out the law. But supporters of the law, set to take effect in late July or August, say it is necess ... more 6296 -

I've said this before and I will say it again. If the U.S. withhold all foreign aid to all Latin American coountries and apply it to the services that mexicans and others receive. You will see a drastic change in the floatilla of roaches. [b]Everybody is above the law until they get caught.[/b]
