All true actually.. One thing I don't get about Liberals..
Illegals have the "right" to come here and work jobs for often under minimum wage because they are "escaping" a hard life in another country...
To me it's like saying blacks had a better life on a Cotton plantation than they did living in wattle huts on the Savannah.
Illegal immigration is wrong for many reasons

One thing I don't get about Liberals.. is why they endorse this Neo-Slave labor? Illegals have the "right" to come here and work jobs for often under minimum wage because they are "escaping" a hard life in another country...

Illegal immigration is wrong for many reasons, chief among them is that it creates a population of a specific ethnicity that is preyed upon for cheap labor and services as compared to society as a whole. If a few generations from now a Latino feels hard done by because he's offered a lower wage he will have today's situation to thank.
Seems like hypocrisy in my humble opinion.

oh the reason they have a hard life is that some illegal stole a job that could make an americans life better.
what do you tell a mother and father whose little girl was killed by someone who wasnt even suppose to be here in the first place? true story that has been repeated over and over in america and worse.
sorry about your luck they were just trying to escape a hard life.
there is no way to justify or defend anyone in this country whose illegal END OF STORY.

The Arizona law is BS it's profiling. If they want to invade a country because their treating their people like crap they should start with Mexico, improve Mexico, and drag corporations back to the U.S.
Right... because accidents never happen to legal residents.

In Oklahoma during the huge 2011 blizzard where we got 18 inches of snow and about 5 total inches of ice there was accident. A ford truck full of illegal immigrants slid off of the bridge into the icy waters below and 7 out of the 8 died. It just goes to show that you get what you deserve. Come over here illegally and your bound to get yourself into trouble. Now It is sad that 7 people died but still... They were ILLEGAL. and has anyone thought of this yet!!!!

This thread is about a court decision staying an injunction on Arizona’s immigration law and quickly turned into a rant fest about illegal immigrants. What does your opinion of illegal immigrants, or the absurd implication from your little story, have to do with the courts decisions concerning Arizona’s law?
Is anyone seriously suggesting that immigration policy is not a federal matter? Should individual states define immigration policy and make their own laws regulating that policy?
Forget for a moment you hate immigrants, or that it has anything to do with immigrants, why was this decision — immigration and foreign policy is a federal matter — legally and constitutionally wrong?

In order for something to be successful both state and federal need to work together to get the problem of illegal immigration taken care of.
That’s a distinct question, but one that doesn’t change the fact that immigration policy is a federal matter.

Think of this example, from a different area of federal powers, to perhaps look at this question from a different perspective: if the state of Arizona disagrees with the way the war is being conducted in Afghanistan can Arizona wage its own war the way Arizona wants or wishes to?
