What are people's thoughts about the immigration bill in Arizona? I wrote an article about it on the Independent Parties but would love to hear what others think. Immigration Crackdown in Arizona

Great article, Stephanie. I am definitely in favor of the immigration bill in Arizona. As a matter of fact, the other 49 states need a bill just like it.
I am not racist, I just believe that if a person is not a citizen of this country and are here illegally, then that person needs to leave and go back where he or she came from. If a person wants to live in this country, they need to apply for citizenship and go about it the right way.
Article 67 of Mexico's Population Law says, "Authorities, whether federal, state or municipal ... are required to demand that foreigners prove their legal presence in the country, before attending to any issues."
Mexico's president is totally against Arizona's immigration bill. But he doesn't show the tolerance to those in his country illegally that he expects us to show to those in this country illegally. Maybe we just need to adopt the same immigration law that Mexico has.

I watched a segment today on a group of LEGAL immigrants. It was very interesting to hear their side of the story. They are all totally for the law. They believe that if they had to go through everything they did in order to become citizens, it is not right for someone else to be able to just run across a border. One of the points brought up is how some feel they have a sense of entitlement. No one is entitled to receive something just because they are struggling. Another interesting point brought up is that the illegal immigrants who are here are like a modern day type of slavery, working for much less money than someone else would. I get tired of hearing that because you believe in LEGAL immigration you are a racist. It has nothing to do with race...it has to do with obeying the law! Thanks for sharing your point.

Heck Yes! Amnesty just encourages others to go out and ignore the law figuring they will be exempt from prosecution too sometime in the future. I think it is high time the Feds own up to ENFORCEMENT of the law. No "political correctness" while overlooking the fact that these folks are breaking the laws and have no entitlement to any protections given to legal citizens already here. The Constitution was for American citizens, "We the People", not just anyone who shows up.

So many countries throw illegals into jail. An example are the three students who were hiking in the mountains along the border of Iran and crossed the border. They are still there in prison.

No, I don't want to just throw illegal immigrants into jail and leave them there. They just need to be sent back to their own country.

I think one of the big focuses right now needs to be on stopping any further illegal immigrants from entering. Then we deal with the ones who are here.

I stand with the decision of the Governor of Arizona. If people cannot come into our country legally, they do not belong here.

At least one other state is beginning to see that something needs to be done about illegal immigration. EXCERPT: State Rep. Peter G. Palumbo, saying that he�s �fed up,� and �we�re all under attack� by illegal immigrants, has filed a bill mirroring a controversial Arizona law that is considered the toughest immigration legislation in the country.
