I'm just what if it's gonna be midnight and if so, what time zone? If it's not too late I'll stay up and download it, but if it's gonna be like 2-3 am, my time, I'll just wait until tomorrow.
" OP rings true with me on all counts. I'm in favor of putting up a huge wall with machine guns and using the Army to protect our borders like it's supposed to. "
hey, I bet other nations would go to some pretty crazy extremes to protect their borders were they in our position.
Soooo, last time I looked at this last night there were just a handful of comments. I just got through reading all of the new ones and I just wanted to touch on a few key things:
Some people obviously didn't watch the attached video.
I see lots of people saying things like "there's got to be a better way than the Arizona law". Ok, so what is it? I don't see any actual solutions, just people pointing the finger at a state that's simply trying to find a way to protect it's citizens and keep people who don't pay taxes from leaching off of government programs, driving the state further in debt.
To the guy who said something about nobody here being an illegal, am I to assume that you think that being here illegally means you don't have access to a computer, or the internet? Lol, you clearly don't know what your talking about.
If your not a working tax-payer then it's gonna be hard to understand my frustration with the illegal immigration problem. You see, we are over taxed as hell by the federal government, unconstitutionally so, so when I hear about how all the illegals are here, taking peoples jobs because they work for well below the minimum wage, not paying taxes, but yet they are getting on government programs, it pisses me off. I don't like the lazy fuckers that live off of the government that ARE legal citizens ( and I'm not talking about the folks that genuinely need the help, I'm talking about the ones that could work, they would just rather live off of me and you), so I damn sure don't want to pay for people that aren't legal citizens.
And for all the people who are whining about racial profiling, stop kidding yourself. We all know that we're talking about Mexicans here, there's nothing racist about calling a Mexican a Mexican. I have friends that are legal AMERICANS that came here from Mexico and they feel the same way I do about illegal immigration.
I live in Louisiana, which is not a border state, but it is really close to the border and we have a ton of illegals here. I wire a lot of new construction houses for sound after they've been framed and am constantly working around illegals. There's always that one guy that is legal and can speak English that tells all the illegals what to do. The builder will pay him and then he will pay all of the illegals, it's just how it goes. I have friends, born and raised Americans, who grew up building houses that can't get any work because all the contractors are hiring illegals and paying them next-to-nothing. Louisiana has had an immigration law that is very similar to Arizona's for years. If you get stopped for whatever reason and they determine that your illegal they deport you. Our local paper recently did a story about our immigration law and how thousands of illegals are deported from Louisiana back to Mexico every year.
Lastly I would just like to agree with the guy that proposed making Mexico a state. If the United States were to somehow buy Mexico and make it a part of the U.S., that would solve all of our problems. Of course the problem here is that the corrupt Mexican government has no desire to be a part of the U.S. (they just think that they're citizens should be free to come over here and leach off of us while they maintain far stricter immigration laws than we do), nor do the majority of the illegals have a desire to be U.S. citizens (I didn't say all of them, I know that there are Mexican families that come here seeking a better life, although they're still doing more harm than good to both their families and us by not coming here legally) because when "undocumented workers" come here all that happens is they take the jobs of actual citizens, they work for cash, tax free, they then take that money back to Mexico and put it into the the Mexican economy. Just think about that for a sec, they're coming over here and hurting our economy and going back to Mexico and helping Mexico's economy. I don't know about all you other tax-paying legal citizens, but that just don't sit well with me.
" @dantheman1515: How exactly do you think the law infringes on the right's of it's citizens? "
If you aren't white you have an 80% chance to be pulled over or stopped for a "random" citizenship check. "
The law requires that police have to pull you over for something else before they can check your citizenship, making it no different than any other time you would get pulled over by the police. When someone gets pulled over they always have to present their driver's license, if your don't have one then your already doing something illegal whether your illegal or not. Also I'm curious as to where you got your "80%" figure from.
It's been my experience that they always send you one that's exactly like the one you had, but if they did send you and HDMI unit that would be awesome.
With all the hoopla surrounding Arizona's decision to take care of their gigantic illegal immigrant problem, I constantly find myself baffled at how hard it is for people to understand that not enforcing our nation's immigration laws is a bad thing. Now anybody who's been paying attention knows that one of the biggest reasons that the people of Arizona stand behind their new law is because of Mexican drug cartels coming over the border into Arizona and murdering/kidnapping Arizona citizens, but apparently there is more to worry about than just drug cartels. I came across this video on a family member's Facebook page and it pretty much acknowledges what I've been saying for years, which is that as long as we turn a blind-eye to the southern border, eventually we're gonna get more than Mexicans coming through it.
