Agreed. It's not perfect, but definitely a step in the right direction

You either know (by paying attention to news) or you don't. Those that don't know shouldn't post. Just my opinion.

This along with BP's oil rig have been top national news stories lately (AZ immigration for over a month now and the BP oil spill for 2 weeks or so).

Its the right idea, but wrongly applied. They are singling out mexicans.. which sure it makes sense in this application but how can you tell they are illegal or not? Its profiling.

Of course it's profiling. The last time I checked Mexico is the only country that borders Arizona. I just checked again and, yes, still the only country that shares that border. If Mexicans want to come here so bad they can come here legally like everyone else. We turn back Cubans that come on makeshift boats, people get sent back from Asia and Europe if they plan to just walk in without a visa or any legal documentation, but the moment we target Mexicans it's as if we're committing some sort of crime.

Just goes to show how clueless people are.

I dunno but if I were legal and looked mexican and I got stopped every other day to check if im legal or not, Id probably get pissed.

The profiling thing kinda bugs me, even though there really is no way around it. We need to control our borders more, it should be on a federal level, not just a state level.

That's just it. The border patrol deal put in place by federal government isn't doing much good so the state stepped up to the plate and did something about it.

Once the border is sealed up and illegal immigration laws are tightened then the amount of illegal immigrants in the country will go down. We need to stop the bleeding before fighting the infection.

Nice to see Arizona is standing tough in what they believe in: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010...yback-boycott/

[scheides]

Goddamn I didn't realize people/companies were boycotting AZ. What a fucking joke. Racial profiling, yes that's kinda the point! As long as the police are respectful about it....oh wait.

Oklahoma wants to adopt this awesome law too.

Like I don't get pulled over enough already. I'm down with keeping useless immigrants out, but thats like saying lets rid MN of all the swedes, guess who is going to get pulled over then.

If you are here legally then I don't see what the problem is.

Problem is I don't want to get pulled over every time i'm on the road, I already get pulled over enough as it is.

I love what Arizona is doing. This may be out there but I believe one of the reasons construction workers dont get paid the best is because we have so many illegals workin for so damn cheap. They would eventually bring this country down.
