First off, sorry about the assumption regarding the last post. The post was meant to convey my views for a "what if" situation. Maybe I shouldn't have assumed...eh.
At any rate, I've taken notice to the bogus claims that the new Arizona immigration law is racist, threatens freedom, discriminates against Hispanics, etc.
The law was meant to protect Arizona and essentially, the United States. Period. It doesn't say, "We hate the Mexicans and think they are inferior, therefore, ARREST THEM ALL!". It says that if an Officer has probable cause to believe a person is an alien, he has the power to arrest him. With Arizona being smack dab next to Mexico, I think seeing a Mexican could be probable cause.
Not racism; probable cause.
This reminds me of something else. Something about stopping people from Middle Eastern countries before letting them in our airspace... Is racist, while you've got 9/11, the Christmas bomber, and threats from the Middle East coming from--you guessed it--the Middle East.
Not racism; probable cause.
I'm not against immigration at all. My own grandparents immigrated from the Philippines years ago. You see, they came here legally, not to mention devoid of drugs and smuggled human beings. I don't have any beef with immigrants; only the illegal ones. And the drug-smuggling ones. And the human traffickers. You want to come here, you come here legally. Capiche?
I remember an interesting point made by a FOX news (yes, FOX news) viewer. "What's the difference between asking a person for their immigration papers and asking a person for proof of healthcare insurance?" Hmmm...good point, sir.
At any rate, way to go Arizona! Stay safe and strong Arizona law enforcement and National Guard!
Go U.S.A!
On a side note, I'm removing Sean Hannity from my political influences tab. Not because he doesn't influence me, but because I think he's a little...rude. I don't disagree with his views, but the whole interrupting thing is a little annoying and slightly embarrassing. Ah well. Go Glen Beck.
