Really? And why is that.
America is and has always been a melting pot of different cultures. English language is the immigrant.
Maybe instead of making English an official language - - - it should be mandatory to learn 2 languages so American citizens can more readily speak with each other.

I don't live in Arizona, and I strongly congratulate the state of Arizona and its people. And we are all mobilizing and organizing every single state to pass the same bills. Justice will be done by the power of reason or by the power of force.

Yes - - I'm just thrilled with the White Supremacy attitude of the "good old boys" of Arizona.
Justice? Very debatable.

Its too bad that people just looking to work, and make better lives for themselves suffer so much discrimination.
I think its sad. They are people, not "Illegal Aliens".
For hundreds of years they have been working the farms, and labour jobs that most in the area aren't even willing to do.
Losing them as workers, but not subsidising the farmers will bring a downfall in the agricultural community in the area.
I hope you are just as happy when the food prices begin to soar.

I live in Arizona, and where I work I am surrounded by people who don't speak English very well, if at all. Many of my co-workers have "allegedly" purchased their Social Security numbers in order to pass the mandated background check and get their job. BTW- they get paid 45k a year,same as me. Now, tell me again how this is a job that nobody here LEGALLY would want?

Thank you. I worked for a production plant in Gardena CA. I was there when the 2nd Amnesty went through. About 90% of those with "papers" were fake papers. Many of them were managers and supervisors.
I have a friend in Oregon - - - where there is a problem picking apples. There is a black market for the best supervisors.
I personally do not support borders. I think the best person for a job - - should get the job. (Yes I know all about lowering wages for people willing to work for less. Not going there on this topic)
But that is not the main issue. There are illegal Canadians (and other ethnicity) in Arizona (most people would be surprised how many Chinese are in Arizona (I am not saying they are illegals)). - - and probably most of those of Mexican ancestry are citizens. But only Mexicans are targeted - - - because by physical appearance they stand out.
In Arizona - - it is ethnic racism. And that is NOT OK.

what do you think the reaction will be if i get stopped and asked for id?

Mexicans are targeted first because they are the majority group within the aliens. And as far as profiling....YES. PROFILE THEM ALL. Don't latinos speak Spanish to those Americans with an "hispanic" look like Italians for example?? isn't that profiling??
Bullcrap. The game is over. Illegal is illegal. Toss them ALL to the other side. They want reform and still come here? Well, make a line like civilized humans and wait for an answer from the homeowners.
