If all Latinos were to stop working, the economy would be worse than it already is. Working immigrants are the BACKBONE of this country. This is supposed to be the land of the free, am I not correct?
However, there can be problems with SOME (NOT ALL) illegal immigrants where they come in for criminal acts,but let me remind you that these “criminals” are not just Latinos. They can be white people, blacks, Asians, Italians, whatever. So why try to stop only Hispanics?
Still, I declare this law as racist and unjust especially with Arizona’s stupid sheriff, Joe Arpaio who keeps proving just how racist, unjust, and stupid this law really is. Jan Brewer should’ve known better. But then again, maybe this was just all fun and games to them. Mark my words: Brewer and Arpaio are OUT come election time.
We should do all we can to stop this law from going on. We’ve got to put everything we got into taking this bullshit out once and for all and prevent other states from even THINKING of passing this through.
I hope for the best to all good hard-working people who are working for a better and more fit life in, not only the United States, but other countries as well.
We are all one race: the Human Race. You are no different than I am and I am no different than you. We breathe the same air, we bleed the same color, and skin color is unimportant as hair or eye color. The only difference may be our personalities; but that is all.
Nothing more. God Bless.
This is bullshit, and racist being a certain skin color is not a crime, this will only tear more families apart! make them llegal! there here to give their families a better life, a life they dint get, and yes ther ways of getting here legal but to get a visa you pay a fourtune and spend hours to have someone just tell you better luck next time! Arizona this is not right, make them llegal they work here in jobs no one else wants, ther here for a better future for their children!!
I think this the SB 1070 Arizona Law is very wrong! It is going to cause more problems and more crime. It is going to tear apart families. It is going to affect a lot of people, legal and illegal, in a negative way. Why not just make a way for these people to become legal. Millions of them are already here, living and working. This is their home, this is where their family is. Just because they are not Americans does not mean they are criminals! There needs to be an Immigration Reform!
