It's Time to Boycott Arizona

theoddz · 05-03-2010, 02:36 PM

This article on msnbc.com today presents an alternate view of the situation in Arizona. It's worth a read, I think.

What really grabbed my eye was the last sentence in the article, which reads, "Gonzales favors an approach backed by many other law-enforcement and immigration specialists: the federal government, he says, must step in to make the border more secure and to amend the system so more Mexicans can enter the country legally—without the "help" of criminal cartels."

I think that may be a better solution, rather than what, to me, seems to be what this new law in AZ does....violate our national Constitution.

Yea, but it isn't just our neighbors to the south, they are just in the scope of this racist law.

Yes, I would like for people to be able to get to the US legally, as it were, though I have a problem with geopolitical borders, but I find it difficult to believe that this new legistation is to make immigration easier.

Not Just Arizona: From Utah To Maryland, States Eye Harsh Immigration Laws

Gee, go figure....the hysteria around a murder that pushed this whole thing may be based on bad information

The killing of a Southern Arizona rancher that sparked an outcry to secure the border was not random, and investigators are focusing on a suspect in the United States, the Arizona Daily Star has learned.
