Arizona is only enforcing a federal law that no one else wants to enforce. If you are arrested the police officers have the right to ask about your immigration status. What is wrong with that? They are not undocumented workers, they are illegal aliens! They have broken the law to live here. They need to go through the proper channels to become citizens or they need to be sent back to their home country!
That;s the perfect opportunity to arrest and deport hundreds of illegals....but of course, the Obama admin has no intention of doing their job!!!!
Most of the people protesting, are either illegals, or formerly illegals, who have become legal. Their protest is moot, as they simply are foreign agents, who seek to take over the US through illegal immigration.

I don't think you want to do that. First, these people aren't illegals. Second, in this country of ours, all people are entitled to their viewpoint, no matter how hateful. And third, these are the kind of people who will vote tea party.
by mylilelar May 30, 2010 2:07 PM EDT I have not read ONE viable argument against this law from the protesters. They are either ignorant or lying through their teeth. Even all the Hispanic police chiefs that are against this>>>>>what is their REAL reason? Perhaps 1/2 of their extended family is illegal and they do not want to stand up for the law because of it. Every time I see a protester on the met or tv....it just solidifies my position.

I am ignorant AND lying through my teeth. Thanks for bringing it to my attention:)
The law bans profiling. What is wrong with people carrying an ID? In 1973 I (a white guy) was picked up by the police, taken to the city police station, and detained for a while. This was because I did not have my wallet on me, and I fit the description of a fugitive. I was inconvenienced, but the police were doing due diligence in doing their job.
Arizona has terrible crimes being committed by illegals from Mexico, and it is trying to protect its citizens - in the face of the fact that the federal government is not doing its job.
The shame of it all, is that the US federal government will not enforce it's own laws. Because of the horrible crimes of illegals in Arizona, that state is forced to adopt a similar law to the federal government.
The law in Arizona excludes checking someone's papers simply because of race, yet this President and media pretend that it does. US citizens must carry papers with us while visiting foreign countries. What is so bad about forcing our visitors to do the same?

Not sarcasm at all. I am in fact a happy liberal. I just can't condone prejudice or racism in any way.
Apparently CBS erased my post. This is what I finally have to say. Arizona will get hurt by this law. Some Republicans will like to see America engulfed in some sort of violence, bloodletting, rampage Belfast style. Beck is one of them and Palin who keeps "reloading" as she calls it. Let's pray to God that common sense prevails.
Right, it isn't really Obama who's trying to divide the country every chance he gets... We have the most divisive president in our history, yet you see something wrong with Arizona trying to stop an actual invasion of their state when the federal government won't do it...
Article IV, Section 4 of our constitution says: The United States shall guarantee to every State in the Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against invasion!!! Instead of doing this, Obama invites the president of Mexico to trash the good state of Arizona... I'm sure you see nothing wrong with such a pathetic display though.
Nobody ever talks about or helps the real root cause of this issue in AZ, which is that Mexico itself is the problem! Sorry I'm not cutting Mexico down, but the reasons immigrants run here need to be fixed by the Mexican government! As proud citizens why run away and receive handouts from the U.S. instead of fixing your homeland for the future generations? Go home in a good way to fix your government! Coop for all we care as long as it helps the people! Oh yes one more thing which is a question to anybody. . . what issues and problems do the Mexican government need to address, why is there such a need to run here???
One thing is for sure, as long as the government lets this invasion continue, it acts as a release valve for Mexico so that they aren't forced to deal with their proplems... Without as many people in their country, more people are able to find work in Mexico... At the same time, illegals here send money back to Mexico boosting their economy... In the long run, we aren't really helping them though. We are only prolonging the problem.
I have not read ONE viable argument against this law from the protesters. They are either ignorant or lying through their teeth.

That's because there aren't any viable arguments to be made. There are groups of people in this country (for a variety of reasons) who want our our borders to remain insecure, and are perfectly fine with those disrespecting US immigration law. That's the bottom line.
Many of the protesters are too uneducated or stupid to figure out a way that this or any law can be enforced in a race-neutral way. I wouldn't take that as proof that it can't. Pretty much any first year cop or criminal justice student (or TSA agent) can tell you how it can be enforced in a non-racist manner. The protestors just expose thier own ignorance or dishonesty when they say it can't.
The same way the TSA does it. If your state is 1/3 hispanic, then stop and ask 2 non-hispanics for ID for every hispanic you stop. Hardly rocket science now is it?

Are you sure you are not the uneducated or stupid follower.
There are no easy solutions only a fool would believe that!
