THE ARIZONA LAW

Last Friday, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer announced that she had signed into law, a very strict reformation of immigration laws for the State of Arizona.

Since then, there has been a very BIG brouhaha, a hurricane of protest, with most of the protesters claiming discrimination, etc. Meh, and yaaawwwnnn.

Too many people are looking at this Arizona law in the wrong light.

What about the Arizona law enforcement officers, who were murdered by illegal aliens or Mexican gang members, in the last few years? http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/64385

The Legislature, Governor and a vast majority of the PEOPLE of Arizona reached a point where enough is enough. In short, they grew weary, while waiting, as the federal government frittered away more time doing nothing.

Therefore, the government of Arizona decided to take action to curb illegal aliens.

If you were Hispanic and walking on the sidewalk, minding your own business, the Arizona police would not want to stop you and ask for your ID.

On the other hand, if you were driving a vehicle and made a turn without signaling, that would give any police officer or state trooper, anywhere and in any state, the opportunity to stop you and say hello to you; and, ask a lot of questions, including asking to see your ID.

Like a Chinese Laundry - "no tickee, no washee," now in Arizona, if you do not have the proper ID, you go to jail. Then, a JUDGE will sort out the details.

By the way, agents from ICE routinely troll through the jail inmate lists, looking for any “foreign sounding name” such as Mendoza, Farouk, Mohamed, Sing, Le, Vinh, Battaglia, etc. I hope you never have to suffer the indignity of having to prove your citizenship to an ICE agent. Those folks have the power (badge and gun), to initiate deportation proceedings, immediately upon the conclusion of any local legal matters.

In the meantime, news reports say that huge numbers of "illegal immigrants" are leaving Arizona. Where are they heading? Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, andddd, possibly some place near you.

Many of these “day laborers” provide valuable services to many types of businesses.

If they were here legally, they would still be working hard and sending money to their folks back home.

Take a look at restaurants, fast food establishments, gardening services, and construction sites near you, to see how many Hispanics are on the staff.

I agree with the Arizona law, but welcome the skills, knowledge and abilities of legal immigrants.
