Not defending anyone, but I'd replace "Mexican" with an illegal or illegal immigrant; from recent ICE deportations, its been shown that many illegals aren't Mexican but travel through Mexico to get into the U.S. As much as we want illegals to understand their first action is illegal, we must not stereotype and call all illegals "Mexican."

Boab: what you describe in the U.K. mirrors the issues in the U.S. almost to the letter...infact, many issues most Western European countries are dealing with regarding illegal immigration is much the same as in the U.S.

And to buttress your argument: many Spanish speaking Mestizo OTM's try to pass themselves off as 'Mexican' if picked up by ICE to avoid deportation to Guatemala, El Salvador, etc.

I did; it is so the French can avoid permanent location by these immigrants into France which is having much trouble with its blighted immigrant ghettos and projects. So they are passing off the problem...I've been told by Spanish relatives and German coworkers and friends that they are coming into their nations from France as well...do you know much about that?

And I hope to God that all parties involved start pitching those 'immigrants' who are in their respective countries illegally out--------and, return 'em to their homelands.

How about if they just stay in perpetual transport between the 2 places? Give them deckhand jobs and the like... Heck if they would consider upgrading it to a cruise ship, I'd consider going illegal.

You already had your "breaking bad" moment at the tribal casino, so you may as well go full outlaw.


But to address the thread question, there seems to be less illegal alien presence in AZ due to both severe recession, and stricter hiring regulations under state law.
