I'm loving Arizona!

So the police can ask, do you know how fast you were going, have you been drinking, Do you have any drugs or weapons, any warrents, where are you going, where are you comming from, have you ever been arrested etc... but people have a problem with them asking if they are American citizens?

Al Sharpton is on his way there to protest. Critics say it is racial profiling. So what, something needs to be done and congrats to the Gov.

The sheriff of butler county, Ohio where I live is HUGE on finding & deporting illegal aliens.... But.... The county was just sued & ordered to pay $100,000 to an illegal alien that he had had deported....

As much as I agree with what Arizona is doing I see huge problems arising....
Google sheriff Richard K. Jones to get the full story, there are all kinds of things he is doing to fight illegal immigration.

Sheriff Joe Arpiao (sp?) seems to be the one really running the show out here in Maricopa, not the "feel-good" politicians.
Tent city in the Desert, pink underwear and chain gangs, and pushing for this law to pass.
I sure don't want to make any mistakes around here.

That is in real bad taste clayinaustin and intellectually wrong on so many levels. Please explain to me any relevance this has to what is going on in Arizona.

I am not sure what WWII era Nazis stopping a fictional Uncle Sam character in a convertible and asking for identification has to do with stopping the trafficking of human beings and drugs across a sovereign US border.
Unless the implication is that 2010 Arizona and 1942 Germany both had border security as particular strengths.

If Uncle Sam was over in Mexico, and he is attempting to enter Arizona, I believe that the Nazis shown guarding the Arizona border are acting appropriately in not allowing Uncle Sam to get in on his fancy hat alone.

Although I don't think that the Nazi in question would be Luftwaffe.

This new law will require law enforcement to ask people for their proof of citizenship (papers). The cartoon is just an exaggeration of that concept.

I found it to be an interesting editorial comment. Nothing more. Don't get your panties in a wad! :sifone:

 

[clayinaustin]

I am sure that most people on this board applaud Arizona in its efforts to stop the flood of illegal aliens into the state. However, I find that this new law will do nothing except make matters worse.

This law reminds me of the many failed attempts of well-meaning politicians. Prohibition, Gun control, Drug laws... All have failed to stop "real" crime, and have only made matters worse. I believe that it will have zero effect on the Mexican drug wars and other "illegal alien crimes" commited in Arizona and the rest of the country.

Just my two-cents...

 

[high-tide]

I despise friggen Nazi's. I find no use for those peices of crap what so ever except to remind humanity of it's darkest hour.
That being said, thank you for being concerned about the "well being of my boys" ....so to speak.

We can actually thank Cardinal Roger Mahony of Los Angeles for his comparison of Arizona's law to Nazism in the media. I feel that he was irresponsible in doing so.

Here is the actual bill, in case anybody wants to read it.

At least they weren't Illinois Nazis......I hate Illinois Nazis....:sifone:

The Nazi's out in Idaho are a really sick friggen group of retards as well.

Sorry for the hi jack detour. I really must applaud Arizona for having the actual balls to pass the law that everyone wants to see. Surprisingly enough I always thought it would be Texas....

Not everyone wants to see a law like this. Many Texans understand the need for cheap labor to keep our cost of living low. Without the thousands of migrant workers to harvest produce, most of the food would rot in the fields. Without the "day laborers" the construction industry would have much higher labor costs.

We joke that every restaurant in Texas is a Mexican restaurant because you will find Mexicans working in almost every kitchen. Without their cheap labors, food would be much higher.

Phoenix and Arizona have had a rough time with the Mexican Drug wars - See VIDEO - So, I understand their frustration and their perceived need to pass such a desperate law.

However, I still believe that this new law will do nothing to stop the drug war violence. In fact, I believe it will get worse.
