The Sanctuary City policies, have ruined this city and all construction related work, especially quality and pride in craftsmanship.
Yes, because we have white guys lining up for construction, dishwashing and ditch digging jobs.

Your contempt for your fellow Americans is outrageous, many are willing to do labor jobs.

Go ahead, feel free. It is your right for now, but just make sure if you are boycotting in Arizona that you have your birth certificate or passport on your person, and don't do it with a suntan!

Well, they are lining up. There are plenty of naturalized citizens to do those jobs.

The problem is they want to be paid well for doing them.

But other naturalized citizens don't want to have pay increased costs for housing and lawn work and tomatoes. Soo.......

There seems to be a disconnect in understanding for the supporters of this law though.

I haven't seen one "pro arizona law" poster step up and say "Yeah, I will pay $10 for ground hamburger and $300K for a 500 sq ft house."

If you truly believe this law is just and right, fine. I applaud you. But how about having the courage of your convictions and stop benefiting from all the abuse that illegal immigrants suffer. Put your money where your mouth is, and pay for what stuff is really worth. You live off the backs of illegals. And now you want to grind your feet in as you are using them to step up.

Weren't the American Indians here first before all of us? Shouldn't they be saying we are all immigrants and asking all of us for our papers??

How bout this: See where Brownsville, Texas is? We can draw a line straight across all the way to the other side of the map and make that part of Mexico Texas.

Then, if Arizona doesn't like being bordered by Texas we can have a shoot out.

I suggest we remember the original post concerned Austin's boycott. It really wasn't about the merits of the AZ law.

Lots of interesting points to consider on the law. But I stand firm that it is none of Austin's business. Nor Los Angeles.

The government of AZ acted as they saw fit. We have 50 states - each of which is allowed to pass their own laws as long as they are constitutional. So I respect that principle and think Austin's city leaders should focus on our own problems. It is one thing to issue a proclamation - but to officially boycott AZ and its businesses, causing economic harm, is uncalled for.

We use to, until the illegal alien parasitic trespassers, would do it for ¼ of the going rates, running all the craftsmen and women, to flee the state to more northern areas where illegal alien trespassers were not taking their jobs for... yet, or they changed to more specialized construction work, that illegals had not got their hands on... yet.

Doing jobs Americans don't want to do, is a complete fabricated lie, brought on by the low wages and ability to exploit the workers, that those employing them use.

In reality the illegal alien parasites, have caused there to be jobs Americans can no longer Afford to do.
Going after those that employ illegals is the key to a peaceful self deportation of the illegal parasites.
Stiff penalties of mandatory 5-10 years jail. Seizure of all personal and business assets... Would you hire an illegal if those laws were enforced???
No work and they will go home back to where ever they came from and they won't come here.

Then there is that big loophole in the outdated 14th amendment for anchor babies, that needs to be closed!
