No, I am comparing the Germans blaming their problems on the Jews to the Americans blaming their problems on the Mexicans. And I’m sorry if you’ve got the GOP’s balls covering up your eyes, but that’s certainly how it looks from my end.
In this country, the officers do not have the right to randomly stop you and ask if you’re a citizen, and if you don’t have the right paperwork, they cart your ass off. What’s going to happen for all of the Mexicans who are actually citizens who don’t feel like carrying their fucking birth certificate on them all the time? So because they look dark, they’re going to have to continually prove that they were born here? Sounds good. Not like fucking profiling one bit.
And if you fools don’t think that LEOs are going to use this to harass the living fuck out of whomever they don’t like, you’re completely ignorant.
And what are you people doing? Blaming all the healthcare problems on the Mexicans, when it’s far more complicated than that. You’re simplifying a massively complex issue so you can blame the illegals… familiar? Not at all.
Get your fucking boots together folks, I think the Tea Party rallies are gonna be using some fun marching techniques. [/quote]
Just as an exercise, I’d like to ask a question. Would you turn a blind eye to the entire population of Mexico crossing our border? For that matter, the enitre population of would-be illegal immigrants around the world. At what point do you put on YOUR jack boots and demand that the sovereignty of your nation be respected? What is the cut off point for you? What would motivate you to demand–not ask, but demand–that actual citizens be protected from the cost and crime of illegal aliens? When do you start goosestepping, saying enough is enough?
I’m also curious what measures you do support to to presuade these people to stay home, or to leave if already here? Was it ever an issue for you? Have you ever demanded the Federal government handle the problem? Are these states being swamped by illegal immigration supposed to wait until maybe, finally, you and the federal government give a damn about the issue? AZ has done what AZ needed to do.
The federal government will hopefully keep their nose out of it. Can anyone here imagine the message that will be sent if it does intervene succesfully? A federal government that’s done next to nothing, dictating that a state can not act? Our government has abdicated one of the few powers that it was actually granted. Meanwhile, as has been pointed out, it wants to demand that actual citizens must purchase a Healthcare plan. It has failed what duties it was granted, and has claimed powers it was not granted. Good luck Arizona.
