I fully understand this emotionally charged issue, and WHY it is so emotionally charged. I lived in Arizona for several years. I saw the issues..Hell, I live in Pennsylvania, and I see illegals working here as well. I will say, however, not a single one of them is working a job that anyone but my 15 year old son would consider doing.
This lame argument again?
When every summer we hear reports about how the nation's youth can't find jobs? You think maybe there might be a connection between illegal invaders holding down work 15 year olds might want and the inability of 15 year old Americans to find suitable work?
Then, of course, there's always the point that it's wrong to say there's jobs Americans won't do.
Raise the wages offered, and eventually some American will do the job.
Also, if there's a demand for unskilled labor, that means there's jobs out there waiting for someone to leave the welfare rolls to go do it. So, REAL reform would connect employers with the welfare agencies, and whenever a welfare recipient is reported to have refused offered work, he's taken off the dole. That'll give lots of Americans real incentive to work.
But, whatever, it's flat wrong to say there's jobs "Americans" won't do.
Just watch Mike Rowe's "Dirty Jobs" show sometime, okay?
Now...Say this friend of mine is walking down the street, and is asked to show his documentaion?
SB1070 has been on-line for months now. Are we still required to treat as serious arguments as factually vacant as what you're insisting on preseting?
No, we're not.
If your buddy hasn't broken any laws that lead the police to question him on other matters, he won't be asked to present ID, JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER PERSON IN ARIZONA.
Read the damn bill unless you like looking ignorant when you post on a thread discssing it.
How about, instead of knee jerk legislation, we sit down and do something that will actually work,
From the number of Invaders fleeing Arizona before the law had even taken effect, I'm forced to say that Arizona's law actually worked quite well.
and not put undue burden on our police,
Enforcing the law isn't an undue burden on the police.
It's their job.
undue burden on the many legal hispanics in this country,
No burden on them. If they don't break the law, they don't run afoul of the police.
That's not hard to figure out.
and even more undue burden on our taxpayers?
Oh, getting the Invaders to go home is the kind of negative burden real taxpayers like. It's like the burden of "carrying" a helium balloon. The more you carry, the better your feet feel.
Because deny it as many try to, this IS a kneejerk piece of legislation. Its a "we're not gonna take it anymore" type of law,
Explain why Arizona should lay back and enjoy being raped.
Explain why American citizens living along the Mexican border should be expected by people like you to live in their own homes in fear, and why Arizona shouldn't react when the Invaders have made Arizona's largest city the kidnapping capital of the world, and when Arizonians are being murdered in their homes by these Invaders.
