And you sir think mexicans are special and should be able to break the laws of this country.
I wouldnt go to another country waving the American flag unless maybe it was a sporting event or national competition.

Lot's of the advertisers of these news stations are making money on the cheap labor -- so OF COURSE, they don't talk about the ILLEGAL EMPLOYMENT PROBLEM. It's the same thing that is the ACTUAL problem between Israel and Palestine; how do the terrorists get in? Israelis don't want to mop their own floors. Then the hard line politicians, get to justify their own existence by stirring up an ants nest now and then.

If there was a real concern about the impact illegal immigration and its impact in this nation, people would be targeting the big businesses that continue to hire these illegals... but you will not get focus on this issue from these backers.
YEP and if the federal government did heavily fine those company's hiring illegals you'd scream racism.

I don't think Mexican americans are breaking any laws by waving the Mexican flag and speaking in Spanish. That is the real issue that people like you have with them. The fact they've come in, taken majority in some of these towns, bringing their own lingo. Its not really about their immigration status, its about them, moving next door to you. This is the true reasoning behind many supporters of this bill.
Police officers always had the ability to do backround checks on criminals.
Illegal immigration had decreased for the last 2 years with some even going back to Mexico because there are no jobs here. So whats the point of law? Its about politics, its about a couple of disgruntled voters who do not like the sight of Mexican Americans moving into their neigbbourhoods.

you choose not do so but people have the right to wave whatever damn flags they want in this country and speak whatever language they choose. And no, you dont have the right to make them secondary citizens for this.
"...instead of sending help they put up billboard-size signs warning our citizens to stay out of the desert in my county because of dangerous drug and human smuggling and weapons and bandits and all these other things..."

Bingo!
I mean you have all these folks get worked up, insisting we put troops on the border as if thats going to change much? The problem is the pull factor.. thats is businesses hiring illegals... but did Brewer or any of the media/political pushers behind the bill make mention of this? No. This law does little to nothing and Im sure the Republican and political hacks know this. Its just a ploy for the November elections.

I would?
No, I don't think I'd scream "racism" -- I'd probably scream "about dang time!"
Lot's of folks who think your way, spend an awful lot of time coming up with Scenarios and "phrases" we could have said that would make you right. I guess that's better than looking at the reality that border crossings are down and that you don't have a problem except with alienating all the people who are LEGALLY in the country and Mexican, and with turning your state into a third-world country.
I'd also think twice about denying health care to illegals unless you want to have all your crops covered with E-Coli, groups of people with Tuberculosis, and maybe start a plague. Eventually, you have to take care of people in the country -- and neglect is more expensive than being a decent citizen -- always.
Humane treatment of your fellow man is the best security and policy -- but if you want to ruin the country -- keep up your treatment of desperate people as enemies.

What do you not understand about illegal and legal. Once again your making it a argument of race..
Ok answer this
Do we allow everyone to come in our country unchecked at free will?
Say a 747 full of Iranians fly into JFK airport. They have no passports or documentations. Do we let them come in?
