Again, the Wash Post wants us to believe that the entire problem we have is a FAILURE TO GRANT AMNESTY to millions of illegal aliens, and that the states are wrong, wrong, wrong to attempt to do anything about enforcing our immigration laws. And, again, the Wash Post takes to task any legislature or elected official seeking to enforce the law.

resistance is futile, America

without also recognizing the plain reality of America's need for immigrant labor.

 

I guess I'm just dumb then cause I don't see how we  NEED  immigrant  labor

And I believe Oklahoma’s employer related legislation takes effect July 1st.

[frogjerk]

Reasonable suspicions exist that many companies will continue hiring and paying illegal workers off the books to evade the law's sanctions, which may give rise to a sizable underground economy and encourage exploitation of vulnerable workers.

You mean what will happen is what is already happening now? OH NO!!! -sarc

The feds should triple the fines for businesses and should stop rewarding illegals who give birth here citizenship to their kids.

Hey Washington Post: This is not good for our quality of life. Can we slow down PLEASE!

MARCH 22, 2007

Maricopa County, Ariz., gained 696,000 residents between 2000 and 2006, the largest numerical increase of the nation’s 3,141 counties, according to estimates released today by the U.S. Census Bureau.

This increase surpasses the total population of all but 15 U.S. cities. Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix, has 3.8 million residents, making it the nation’s fourth largest county.

But the price the law will exact is likely to be severe -- to the state's economy, to thousands of immigrant families and, very likely, to the civil rights of legal Hispanic residents who will come under unwarranted suspicion.

What a conundrum of horse crap! Legal Hispanic residents have legal working documents which all citizens and legal residents, Hispanic and otherwise, are required to provide when starting a job, opening a bank account, applying for a driver's license and in general doing what legal immigrants and citizen normally do.

Sounds like self-deportation CAN work!

Given the drumbeat in pro-illegal immigration rhetoric on its editorial page, I'm amazed the Post just doesn't come out in Spanish once and for all.

Their credibility never has been very high - and keeps going lower as they pick positions that correspond to Comrade Marx but are consistently opposite their readership.

[Mogollon]

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.

[Forgiven_Sinner]

“...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.

[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?
