If Hispanic leaders are calling for Hispanics to boycott Arizona, then the law is working as intended and they will be no more illegal's..
Simple solution, good work, Arizona....!!
Stop employers from hiring illegals is the only solution, take the hiring managers to jail, fine the CEO, freeze their assets and treat them like Capital Terrorists.
Lets not forget the landlords who know who they are renting to.
Lets not forget Joe to cheap to hire a licensed contractor.
Lets not forget the criminal. The illegal. Do we forgive the car thief and only punish the chop shop?
Hmmm Now why don't these same leaders join together and denounce illegal immigration?
Why don't they demand that the Fed do its job so states don't feel forced to take on the job?
Things are really upside down when the police asking a person, who has just broken the law, to show their green card or proof of immigration status, is so outrageous that a boycott is in order.
Conservatives and the GOP always like to talk a good game re: "illegal immigration", but the reality is they seldom do much about it, to avoid upsetting their corporate handlers (who benefit the most, thru cheap wages). The Bush Administration became notorious for this:
"The claims of this administration and its commitment to interior enforcement of immigration laws are laughable," said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, an advocacy group that favors tougher workplace enforcement, among other measures. "The administration only discovered immigration enforcement over the past few months, five years into its existence, and only then because they realized that a pro-enforcement pose was necessary to get their amnesty plan approved."
I'm not sure if these boycott ideas that are being floated will take hold or not. A lot depends on whether the boycotts, if approved, are just symbolic, or if they really have some teeth in them..
"After an illegal alien has entered our country the next line of defense is interior enforcement. Currently employers are not required to verify that an applicant or employee is legally allowed to work in this country. In addition, local law enforcement at the state and local level have had their hands tied when dealing with illegal aliens by not even allowing them to inquire about arrestees' citizenship status. Senator Barack Obama has worked hard to allow state and local law enforcement to help in reducing illegal immigration and to put in place workplace verification systems allowing employers to quickly verify the legal working status of their employees."
