Well, I see our federal government is up to its old tricks by disallowing Arizona to police its own borders and protect itself from the dregs of society, the illegals from Mexico.
We have millions of law-abiding citizens out of work, losing their homes, their cars, their dignity, and yet a mealy-mouthed, spineless federal judge sides with the illegal immigrants who come here like thieves in the night, not asking for help, but demanding that we give them free medical care, free housing and jobs, and declaring, you owe us, America.
Well, I say balderdash — we owe you illegals nothing.
If you would expend the effort you spend trying to get into my country on cleaning up your own country, you wouldn’t need to come here and live four or five families to a house.
And, you know what, I’ll be willing to wager that we would get along just fine without you.
Hoorah for Arizona — at least they had the guts to try to do something. That’s more than can be said about our congressmen and -women and president.

Mexico has a single, streamlined law that ensures that foreign visitors and immigrants are:
in the country legally;
have the means to sustain themselves economically;
not destined to be burdens on society;
of economic and social benefit to society;
of good character and have no criminal records; and
contributors to the general well-being of the nation.

PS: Tracy Press, the fonts are terrible and you have been repeatedly told by others... too hard to read. Help!
We should IMMEDIATELY ADOPT MEXICOS IMMIGRATION POLICY and set it in full force. How could anyone complain about that?

You can argue whether it's 99.9 or 99.996% until the cows come home. I think most educated people realize it's a big problem. And one thing puzzles me why our current congressman won't do anything about it. I understand the vets can't even use the county hospital because of illegals?
As far as who would do the work? Well, as soon as our government stops paying unemployment (which our taxes cannot afford) people will line up in droves to be paid to do landscaping and to bus tables and yes, even to pick fruit.

Pretty overwhelming.

Because of that, I feel the police gives them more attention than necessary. I have read that many immigrants are returning to Mexico due to lack of documents. It will be interesting to see what effect it will have on Arizona's economy. Will the Americans then do the jobs they have been doing for USA?
The illegal immigrants makes it more difficult for those honest immigrants to get their medical care, assistance, a jump start for their own lives.
Granted there are many Americans who break the laws, look at Madoff!!!!! Even TV ministers, Jim Baker! Famous people driving drunk and getting off lightly. What kind of message is that??? Paris Hilton, for example.
People are corrupt because they chose to be corrupt.
I do believe the economy is failing due to deregulation of financial institutions and the outsourcing of our jobs....we are seeing the result of the war that doesn't seem to end.
So all the financial crisis did not come only from immigration issues, but it does play a big part in it.
Clinics are closing all across USA.

Dont tomatos came from a ketchup tree???
LOL!!
Very sad information from that website you posted, it unfortunate how present evil is in all society. And somehow it makes me feel like I need to apologize on their behalf but I wont because I did not commit those crimes just like neither did the remaining 75% of the undocumented workers that have been arrested for non violent crimes. I read about very similar atrocities committed in great numbers by citizens every single day but I guess it’s somehow different when they do it. The decline in the morality of human kind in general is trend right now and I believe personally because Everyone needs JESUS but thats a whole other argument.
I also have some info that is worthy of sharing aswell:
1. Alcohol related crashes are the leading cause of death for young Americans, between the ages of 16 and 24 years old.
2. For all Americans between 5 and 35 years of age, motor vehicle accidents are the number one cause of death. Over 50% of these accidents are caused by alcohol impaired drivers
So what can we do about this issue?? Should we flag everyone that comes across the spirits isle at savemart?? How do we identify a potential drunk that will be likely to drive under the influence?? How about we question everyone buying salt, who knows they may be getting prepped to salt the rim of their margarita or even worse their corona (We have to include surveillance by the lemons in the produce isle)..That’s a good double whammy red flag on that one make sure those folks have ID and birth certificate on hand cause you know Mexicans we like to put salt and lemon on everything!!! Let’s get all the drunks out of this country, and make everyone takin a monthly driving apptitude test..bad drivers and drunks are ruining OUR AMERICA!!!!! PROHIBITION 2010!!! Say NO TO ASIAN drivers, WOMEN drivers and people that text while driving
Makes sense don’t it??
You say they should be trying to clean up their own county. You are one silly son of a brick. If it was as simple as that I am sure they would rather stay in their mother county.
Stop trying to blame immigration for all the economic and Jobless problems. Get your facts strait. Or are you saying Banks and the housing market have nothing to do with it?
Say something on US born Citizens that live on Welfare their whole life and pass on the tradition on to their kids. I doubt they know how to pick a tomato maybe they don’t know that a tomato comes from a plant.
Why don’t you clean up your own county MR Editor since you find that to be the solution? You have the freedom of speech you should be able to get that done by the end of the work week.
The illegals are also making life harder for ALL Americans.

America is in trouble.

Those are some pretty ugly and vicious thoughts.
Please know that this is not YOUR country. It is OUR country and OUR country is as bold and diverse as it is contentious and harmonious. You may not like it, but that's the way it is.
I served OUR country for 32 years in the U.S. Navy and I will defend to my death your right to speak freely, no matter how stupid and vulgar you choose to be.
May God bless you and grant you peace of spirit.
