Immigration Ground Zero

Washington Post ^ | December 26, 2007 | Editorial

Thus the Arizona law may become a test case for how much pain a state is willing to endure, and inflict, in the name of ridding itself of a population that contributes enormously to its economic growth and prosperity....

Undamned-believeable: These illegal invaders cost us billions in welfare, medical, prison/crime, and school costs every year.

[logic]

...I don't see how we NEED immigrant labor

'yep!! My mom was just telling me about how a furniture store in PHX is being picketed for calling the sheriff because their customers were complaining about the day laborers gathering outside being very rude and disgusting (urinating in public etc..). It's a common problem in PHX and a lot of other places.... my question is why do we need so many more immigrants if the ones we already have are standing around because there are not enough jobs for the $5-10/hr illegals?

I have wondered about the population increase in Phoenix, and if it was related to the influx of illegal immigrants. I thought they avoided Maricopa County because of Joe Arpaio, his deputies and the crack-down on all those here illegally.

“...a situation tailor-made to enable racial profiling and false...Already...hundreds of illegal immigrants pulling their children out of school and seeking work elsewhere”

Hmmm. Sounds like a good effect even before the law takes hold.

[Kevmo]

Good point. The real failure is the shrinking border fence.

I don’t think those figures even include the illegal aliens really. Arpaio has the county but Phoenix, Scottsdale and Mesa have been sanctuary cities all this time. The ACLU, immigrant groups and politicians are still fighting for open borders and think they will win. All the reports of a big exit are overstated, I believe.

I would rather vote for a Democrat than that....more government involvment...amnesty pushing... foreign affairs ignorant...Bush bashing....high taxing....parole giving...credential lying.....preacher hick from Arkansas. That's about it (sure I missed something)

Minute Men of America
 Stand Up

 

I always thought our group stood for stopping illegal immigration.  I also thought  that we, The Minute Me, wanted a permanent security fence along our southern border.  It is now clear to me that our leaders are either asleep or have given up on our cause to save America from becoming a third world nation.

"When I am president, I will build a fence."

 

Did you know .....Fred Thompson in a speech in Iowa on the 21st. of Dec. declared  "When I am president, I will build a fence."  He went further on to say...Amnesty and illegal immigration, he said, are not healthy for the U.S. or Mexico. "We need to be a nation of high fences and wide gates."

Is this not what we want?
Where are our leaders?
Why aren't there Minute Men  TV spots endorsing  Fred Thompson?  

If we fail we may very well have a Democrat or a liberal Republican elected, who will then push an amnesty bill through congress. 

Call your Minute Men Headquarters today and give them your opinion.

 

[Logical me]

One thing this might do is open the job market in Arizona and hopefully it will attract LEGALS and locals looking for work to fill the gap. What a novel idea?

“...the local Spanish newspaper, which is an amazing read for anyone who reads Spanish. It is anti-American, anti-white people, carries ads for business who claim not to ask for your “papers,” and has an editorial slant that, for instance, defends Hugo Chavez and advocates open borders, telling people how to skirt the law....”

ditto the radio stations

[Kevmo]

Hunter’s criticism of Thompson and Romney over this issue is well aimed. We need someone in the white house who isn’t a johnny-come-lately on this issue.

Tell me about it. I cannot listen to the blablazo, just the music. When they start talking I change the station. At least they took that incredibly insulting and moronic Juan Leche off.

[USMCVet]

I did not know that - looks like I'll have to improve my Spanish to read that paper for the same reasons I learned Russian to read Pravda and Krokodil...

Have to know what your opponents are saying.

There are three of them that I pick up in the bodegas. The one the Post owns, which is the slickest, is El Tiempo Latino. Be sure and take your tranquilizers before you read them!
