Arizona has it right – Stop illegal immigration now

Its About Time. Its is a crime to enter the US illegally, making it a  (FELONY) against federal law. If the Federal Government doesnt care to protect AMERICA against this invasion, designed to colonize illegally in the U.S. and ultimately destroy the American way of Life (social/government systems). Being An AMERICAN is not popular or something to be proud of. WE THE PEOPLE ARE A JOKE.

Thanks for some sanity in all this YankeeJim. Drivers license and passport. In Israel it is a national ID card. It appears to work and not often abused. You do not need laws to abuse people. People abuse people with or with out laws.

i hate mexicanss

@ Grace,

No doubt Grace. It appears to work here. I am also aware that it may be a violation of the constitution. With that said, we are living in extraordinary dangerous times.

Grace, I completely disagree with almost everything you say. For one, your claim of "being an American is no longer a thing to be proud of" is due to the fact that many illegal immigrants come here with an automatic air of self-entitlement. Even worse, many 2nd generation children naturally have that very same self-entitlement, and instead of recognizing their country first, are holding some higher alligience to their heritage country. If you are an American citizen America should be the country you are loyal to. You should recognize yourself as an American FIRST. That is no longer the case with most immigrants. They want to come here, use the American system by working our jobs and utilizing our programs, hospitals, schools, etc., and STILL see themselves as a Mexican first and foremost. THAT is where America is headed. No longer is there a respect for the United States by many immigrants, and THAT is what pisses many other Americans off, MYSELF included.I am a minority.....latina, actually (no, I'm not Mexican), and while I LOVE my heritage....I LOVE my ethnicity, and proudly recognize it and enjoy it, I am first and foremost an American. That is the way I was raised by my parents, and that is the way they were raised by my grandparents (having come to America). Once a upon a time immigrants made an effort to assimilate and adapt to American culture and society; they made an effort to respect the country and its laws, learn the language, and adapt to daily life. These days, it's the opposite. You have people coming here refusing to make any effort whatsoever to learn English, to acknowledge this is AMERICA and waving around your Mexican flag and boasting about Mexico constantly, and then turning around and DEMANDING rights for ILLEGAL people who choose to come here KNOWINGLY breaking the law. Yeah, that is a complete and utter disgrace, and it needs to be corrected.Mexico is not special. I'm tired of Mexicans blasting the American government about our unwillingness on immigration and acting as if it's some kind of injustice, lol. It just completely selfish and, if anything, shows how once again many assume they have priority over OTHER immigrants coming from OTHER countries. NEVER have I heard a Mexican advocating for legalizing immigrants mention anyone else but themselves, anyone else but Mexico. You DO NOT get your way by demanding free rides from this government while waving Mexican flags and sporting Mexican t-shirts. You DO NOT get your way by staging crazy protests and vandalizing property (yes, this went on in  MANY schools in spring of 2006 in California, Nevada, etc. I know because I experienced this firsthand). If anything, Mexicans need to realize that it is their OWN people who are giving the other genuinely hardworking illegals a bad name. It is ALSO their own unwillingness to acknowledge that it is Mexico's fault as a country so many of their citizens apparently do not want to be there. They need to fix their own country and be liable for themselves. I'm sick and tired of having my country bashed by people who love Mexico more than the country they are demanding citizenship from.It is not Mexican people themselves, it is their common attitude and mindset. My best friend is Mexican. I have Mexican family members. I grew up around Mexicans. I've dated them. Many Americans who are tired of immigration like Mexican people as individuals, we just hate the WAY they are carrying out coming into this country, and blatantly disobeying our laws. If it were any other country I would say the exact same. Not going to adapt to being an American and respecting the country? GTFO the country. End of.I'm not going to go to France and demand shit. It's ridiculous.

Before having my excellent lunch.   SHUT UP

Its way overdue to stop this flow of illegal imigrants from Mexico. They already out number us in the state of California. There are over.2.5 million  in California alone. They have bankruped the state. They go to Los Angeles and buy a green card,birth certificate & drivers license for a 20 dollar bill. They don't believe in any laws. They steal cars, drive unlicensed  vehicles and have no license to drive. They don't care..Of coarse they are going to fight this law. They still want a free ride for living , food, jobs, schooling, medical, dental at no cost to them.They don't pay taxes.. They just milk the system for everything they can. They force there language on us. Then demand schools to teach there language, that's because they have over run our cities. 100 to 1. No wonder there are no jobs, run down towns & houses, crime , stealing, killing ,murder, drugs anything you can imagine. Take a good look  at the jails in our country, They have destroyed American . Human life means nothing to them. I wish employers were fined by hiring them. They pay them under the table. American people open your eyes look around you..Reads the papers , see all the damage and problems they have caused.

Forget the driver's licence and institute the REAL ID that immediately identifies someone as a legal resident. Problem solved.Of course, to stop illegal immigration, it's useless to identify someone as an illegal if it has no consequences like today. Deportations should be stepped up radically.

Normal 0 Obama does not represent the United States. How could he when he extorts America with the threat of not securing the U.S./Mexican Border, not protecting Arizonans, all Americans until we unwillingly accept amnesty for 20-million illegal immigrants? One could argue Obama has committed a terrorist act, the intimidation and coercion of the American population and U.S. Government, our government, for and by the People, that unless we subjugate to Obama’s amnesty, we will be left naked with no protection against armed cartels, other criminals entering our states from Mexico, we will continue to be harmed—our police shot. If Obama’s actions don’t constitute treason—what do they constitute?

There is a reason that educated people do not support massive deportation and irrational immigration legislation: you will destroy this country. 1. Low wages control inflation and maintain a manageable consumer price index without government price setting (socialism).2. If jobs currently filled by illegal immigrants (10 hour days, $5/hr, no benefits, often sleeping on site or even in the fields) were filled by US citizens, conditions would have to change dramatically, unionization would likely occur and the economic impact would be immense.3. History does not support you. The first immigration law came in 1875 to outlaw the import of Chinese sex workers to the US. Thereafter ethnocentrism and bigotry towards Catholics from Germany and eastern Europe prompted the limitation of immigrants from specific countries to 3% in 1921 and dropped to 2% in 1924 (in this year Asians were also outlawed from immigrating and no limits were placed on immigrants from Latin America due in large part to the Mexican Revolution). From then on the socialist tendencies of the 1930s let to other irrational immigration laws that should be immediately repealed. The founding fathers wanted to include the Dutch and Irish settlers and encourage immigrants to come to the fledgling nation (as noted by the lack of a national language and leading to laws such as the Homestead Act) but racism and ethnocentrism has led us away from their vision.4. A closed door on immigration means an even less competitive and more state controlled nation (such as Sweden or Germany with high wages and little to no economic growth). If you want the socially engineered lives of Europeans then go ahead and limit immigration.5. You will run the last of the small farmers out of business and seal the fate of US agriculture and industry to a handful of state supported corporations.6. The World Bank and IMF have high-jacked the economy in Latin American and NAFTA is a horrible failure in Mexico, meaning that our OWN actions have caused this massive immigration because of economic imperialism.Please stop the Nativist insanity and don't follow the self destructive principle of the Know Nothings. Read the conservative (read Libertarian) findings of the CATO Institute that support more open immigration www.cato.org/pubs/handbook/hb108/hb108-63.pdf Then you will see that this brand of hate-mongering against Latinos and Mexicans in particular is conterproductive from ANY viewpoint.BTW: Reagan supported amnesty. Remember 1986.

I will start by saying that i have nothing against anyone because of their nationality but will continue by saying that supporting illegal immigration is without a doubt detrimental to the United States and one of the most ignorant statements an American can make. You have to agree that is was made and named as illegal immigration for a reason. if we sent all illegal immigrants home then we would just have to deal with the consequences but it would be worth it.Do we continue to shortchange our own children? Do we continue to charge Americans who put in an honest days work and pay their taxes to support this country? Shall we remove all the American flags and place a sign at each pole saying "Please insert flag of your choice .. we have only paid for this freedom with American blood"? If you wish to become a part of American society then fine, do so legally. Do not work here under the table, collect benefits you are not entitled to and then complain because we do not teach your language in our schools.How about all of the elderly people in this country who face ever tightening purses because of cuts and such? Could we use some of the money we spend on illegal immigrants on them in honor of the work they put into making this country worth sneaking into?
