go tell that to antireconquista. I've been trying to tell him the same thing. Not only do they not have the money to do it, but the corporations that have got all these money-grubbing politicians in their pockets benefit from exploiting illegal immigrants. Then the government basically gives the corporations a slap on the hand, but it won't really punish them because it's owned by them. The corporate world is the root of this illegal immigration problem but some of these people would rather scapegoat a dirt poot immigrant than the powerful corporate elite.

What pisses me off about the anti-immigrant croud is that instead of targeting the rich and powerful (corporations) you target the poor and powerless (illegal immigrants). If you started to crack down on employers to the point where no one would hire illegal immigrants, no one would come to the United States illegaly. After all, the reason they come is for work.

Um, Arpaio HAS targeted the employers of illegal aliens.

But in addition to targeting the illegal alien employers he also arrests the illegal aliens.

Both the illegal alien employers and the illegal aliens are criminals who are targeted by Sheriff Arpaio.

Well, I've only mentioned punishing the illegal alien employers and recognizing their role in the illegal immigration issue who-knows-how-many times in the past.

But in addition to punishing the illegal alien employer the illegal aliens deserve to be punished as well considering that both are criminals.

Have you read any of my previous posts?

The United States government isn't about to deport 12 million illegal immigrants. Hell, they probably want them here because they allow the corporations, who have basically bought out government, to reduce labor costs.
Got it now? I hope so. Because we need to discuss the REAL world- not some fantasy world you are living in.

All 12 to 15 million? You are probably correct.

Millions though? It is already happening - by the bus loads. This is reality.

No matter what it costs to deport them, leaving them here will be far more costly in the long run.

I could really care less if Arpaio targets employers of not. It still doesn't make what he does right.

Yes I have and I agree with you about punishing corporations that hire illegal immigrants. However, I disagree with you on other aspects of the illegal immigrant debate, as well as the conduct of Joe Arpaio.

You are aware aren't you about the State of Arizona having an Employer Sanctions Law?

And, what Arpaio is "doing" is, enforcing the law. Arpaio is doing the job he is suppose to do.

And, a high percentage of Arizonans - not just Maricopa County - citizens of the entire state, support Arpaio's efforts.

So, basically you don't want any immigration laws enforced?

What do you disagree with me on in regards to the illegal immigration debate?
