I am sure, you have heard about Arizona Senate Bill 1070, "The Immigration Bill" which has made front page news across the nation. It never amazes me how we always get stuck with the stupid Governors. But back to the bill.
At first glance, it seems to be a great bill to stop illegals from coming into Arizona. But in detail, it will hurt Arizona worse than the poor economy. It gives law enforcement the right to kick in your door (if your neighbor reports you to authorities) for harboring anyone who looks Hispanic. I KNOW our Sheriff Joe will jump on this and like a true ass, will take it to the limits of the law. Already, this law has cost Arizona millions in conventions and tax dollars, not to mention the jobs that will NOT get performed because white folks will not perform some tasks only Hispanic/Mexican folks will perform.
Now wait...I am not against enforcing border restrictions and immigration laws. I understand there is a definite problem along the border and Arizona is a major entry point for most Mexicans coming across illegally...BUT this is NOT the way to solve that problem. More Border Patrol agents, tighter restrictions, and a wall is better that SB 1070.Our governor just cut her AND our throats, and will not help the situation. Why should each state have to enforce a federal law anyway?
I don't know what the final outcome will be, but until it comes, you may want to go to Idaho or Kentucky or maybe Maine for your vacation this summer. It too hot here in the summer anyway.

I'm with you, Cuz! I have many relatives named Munoz or Sanchez. I think everyone of Hispaniic descent should leave the State of Arizona. We could call it The Great Migration. Of course the state of Arizona would implode without them....but I sure don't want to live somewhere that I'm not wanted. Even a little racial arrogance is a dangerous thing, isn't it? ~ Marie Gray
