they didn't read the language before modification, you think they will read it after? the language of the law doesn't mean anything to these idiots, just what they see on msnbc to cry about.

also - pinal county az sheriff shot by drug smugglers in az desert, 17illegals apprehended in 10MI radius of deputy shooting....

The pro-illegal immigration crowd doesn't care about any clarification of the language and intentions of this law. That is very much apparent by the nature of their posts and feigned outrage.

What's crazy is that half of those who are continuing to protest, or planning future protests, will continue to do so regardless of the changes that have already addressed their concerns.

It would seem that the reason for that outrage is because someone wants to check immigration status at all.

Hey now, theyre just trying to come to America and provide an honest living to their familes...the fact they had AK47's is irrelevant, and the fact it appears by later reports the officer was ambushed, its only because the officer is racist.

I support illegal immigration if you don't commit crimes, make an honest effort to work, and have American values. Oh look, I just described 90% of all illegal immigrants in the country. The outrage over this bill can't possibly be related to that reality! Never!

90%. So, in AZ it is believed there are about 460,000 illegal aliens in the state. Using your numbers, 46,000 are criminals or have nefarious intent. Would you call that "acceptable losses"? Also, you're OK with having all these poeple bypassing the criminal checks and health checks we do for LEGAL immigrants?

so, you don't think the 8-11M illegal workers should pay taxes and just get paid cash under the table?

I wish CA would do the same as AZ. What part of Illegal do people not understand. I don't care if your White, Black, Blue what ever you came here Illegally and you have to pay the price for that. My father came here from Germany legally and went threw all the steps to become a citizen. Now its like hey just run across the border and start your new life. It doesn't work that way. And I'm tired of people saying that if you support this law your a racist, that is total BS. Good for AZ its about time.....

You said what I wanted to say only without calling everyone a beautiful being.

Good job.
From now on I think I'll filter all my posts through you first.

Info on the SF protest which happened today.

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/05/01/BAHD1D86I4.DTL

Interesting who the pro-illegal crowd choose as their hero. Not an American president or American icon but Che Guevara a man who hated this nation and was a devoted communist.

Now wonder Democrats want to grant amnesty to illegals. They are a ready source of anti-American sentiment and feelings. No doubt these people are willing to vote Dem for their amnesty handout.

I didn't say 10% were criminals, and even if 10% were, there are violent criminals and there are criminals that buy marijuana. Since we know illegals don't commit crimes at a higher rate than Americans, those are "acceptable losses" as much as the millions of Americans that are also "criminals". You take the good with the bad in life, that's just reality. I also wouldn't want them bypassing criminal checks or health checks either, but I also don't want to treat them as criminals because they crossed the border. I want them to become legal citizens. That means a federal law, not pansy AZ lawmakers pretending they're just "enforcing" existing federal law (though I'll have to read the recent changes to their law before commenting further).

This is really the bottom line and it's why Americans aren't anywhere near outraged over this. Illegals are just as much Americans as everyone else from all the reliable data that has ever been collected on them. It's the ultimate trump card and it's why Reagan pushed through amnesty, and why Obama will do the same by 2011.

No actually, I'm waiting for a federal law that puts them on a path to citizenship so they can pay more taxes, since they already pay taxes every day anyway.

You are 100%, unequivicably wrong. Take this list of stats to start with:

http://www.mcaodocuments.com/press/20081002_a-whitepaper.pdf

Illegal immigrants make up approx 9% of AZ population yet are responsible for approx 22% of crimes.

In 2005 GAO conducted sample group studies of 55,000 and found of that group there were 8 arrests per illegal immigrant, averaging 13 offenses each. 12% were sex crimes, 15% were property crimes, 45% were drug or immigration crimes, 28% were other offenses. 80% of all arrests were in AZ, CA, and TX.

In 2007 it was found that for kidnapping for ransom crimes (Phoenix has the highest amount of kidnaps in the country, and 2nd highest in the world) 74% were by illegal aliens.

16.5% of all violent crimes are linked to illegal immigrants.


Not to mention, 100% of illegal aliens are breaking federal law. Youre a fucking idiot if you think the majority of illegals come here to pick strawberries to pay to feed their familes.

Um.....

Last time I checked 100% of illegal immigrants (by definition) are criminals.

Re protests, I agree that this is a pro-illegal crowd. They might as well have signs that say, "I want the USA to be as big of a shithole as central America." In many ways they are really just cultural / ethnic expansionists.


Anyone know what percentage of the US is okay with unlimited immigration / amnesty for illegals in polls?
