It's a conservative thing, Kat.

You wouldn't understand.

Let them set up camp, take over and shoot your kids.
Then pay for their attorneys.
You need to watch "America before Columbus" on the History channel.

LOL no! The poster was mentioning the shooting of children with every post in an illegal immigration discussion, I was just wondering what the statistics were on all these kids being shot by illigals in illinois (as she cited Chicago), curiosity.

I'm not saying being against illegal immigration is being racist.

I do think that it is an overblown issue meant to pit one group of poor people against another.

Oh.....but you're not saying being against illegal immigration is a racist issue.

"If we deport the racists there will be plenty of room for all the decent people who want to come here"

So what were you saying when you posted this? ^^^

Maybe you've never been to the southwest. I for one WELCOME people who come here to be a citizen, play by the rules, get a Green Card, real ID and make themselves a naturalized citizen.

But for every one of them, there are 10-15+ who have fake ID's, full welfare priveleges and they just snuck over from Agua Prieta or Nogalez a year or so ago. This new law also hurts businesses that knowingly hire Illegals.

What part of ILLEGAL (as in, breaking national and international laws) don't some of you understand?

How do you know when someone is here illegally? It's not an action you witness, like a store robbery.
Or am I wrong?
Geeze Louise..just bring a copy of your birth certificate for pete's sake.
That proves you were born here..doesn't it ?

Look..the Fed is turning a blind eye to a major problem in the border states so AZ took some action and now all the libs are getting up in arms.

Obama & team will grant amnesty later in the year so just go with the flow for now...ok ?

OK, so the question is:

When I go to visit Arizona, let's say the Grand Canyon, how should I dress or look to prevent from being suspected of being in the country illegally? What documents should I bring?

I really would not want to waste one second of my precious time being harassed by local government. This bill really puts me on edge for possible harassment.

I mean the governor does't know what an illegal alien looks like, who's to say the cops will.

Latino = Illegal?

Thanks.
What do you normally do when you visit Mexico? Walk around without a passport? I don't think you will have any problem unless you do something illegal and are stopped by the police. In that case, just show your ID, passport, whatever...just like anybody else.

that I would much rather live with immigrants legal or illegal than Stormfronters and Klansmen like the ones who produced Arizona's bill. They don't stink up the room.

That clear it up for you?

If you do something illegal, it becomes a different scenario than being randomly stopped on the street because you are the wrong color.
