From Arizona to Alabama-Immigration in the News-Again!

Arizona & Alabama Setting the New Tone for Immigration Reform

Rose Richmond
For many years now, we have talked about Immigration, argued about it and protested about it. No matter the side you take, there are many problems associated with it. In this era of the Tea Party and the Change, we are still faced with this huge situation. A situation that at best, will still take years to sort out.

The Immigration situation is a total mess. Over 10 million ILLEGAL immigrants living here already and hundreds crossing the border each day. Mexico is directing it's residents where to cross since the situation in Arizona! Are you kidding? NO! Have you ever considered that this whole thing was crafted by Mexico in their attempt at revenge for the land grab years ago? A Government directing their citizens how to cross illegally!

The influx of illegals along with the crossing of people who came here legally has almost created a Majority for the Latino race in America. They are not far from having so many Latinos in America, they will have the largest voting block vs any other race.

Here are some facts from Reuters.com:

* There were an estimated 10.8 million illegal immigrants living in the United States on January 1, 2009.

* Most were from Latin America, with some 6.7 million from Mexico and 1.33 million from Central American nations El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.

* Arizona had a total population of 6.6 million in 2009, including an estimated 460,000 undocumented immigrants.

* The state is the principal corridor for illegal immigrants entering the United States from Mexico. The U.S. Border Patrol's Tucson sector has made an average of 650 arrests a day so far this year. Phoenix police reported 357 extortion-related abductions in 2007 targeting people with ties to Mexican smuggling rings.Americans, REAL Americans are finding this hard to swallow. Arizona is doing something. A new law that just passed is saying, if you are illegal, we will find you. If you look illegal, we will ask for ID. The Mexicans are coming out in force to protest the action. People are filing lawsuits and getting in the streets.

According to Time Magazine: Law Enforcement in Arizona is split. John McCain is as wishy washy as ever. Brian Livingston, president of the Arizona Police Association is so enthusiastic about cracking down on illegal immigration that for the first time in its history, the group is not supporting Senator John McCain's re-election, choosing instead to endorse his tougher-on-illegals opponent J. D. Hayworth. "We implored John for many, many years to take action on illegal immigration, to no avail," said Livingston. Even though McCain voiced support for the bill just before the governor signed it, Livingston and many others still fault McCain for his previous attempts to pass comprehensive immigration reform.

A candidate in Alabama, running for Governor is campaigning on "Learn To Speak English" platform. Across America, people are standing up against Immigration, more than ever before. Why shouldn't we? We have experienced a slow invasion over the last twenty years. This was the Alamo in slow motion. Don't get the wrong idea here though. I don't have a problem with people coming here. I do have a problem with them coming here illegally, not learning English, expecting to have a voice and getting mad when they are not recognized. What?

America has become the new generation Tower Of Babel. As the Governor elect in Alabama stated, they have 12 different languages on the Drivers License Forms. America is the only country in the ENTIRE WORLD, that does not have a National Language. We became a melting pot of immigrants, but the original intent was not to accommodate lots of languages, it was for this to be a new beginning, for a new country. One language that people from many places could understand. Since the invasion from Mexico, it isn't like that anymore.

First of all, I am married to a Spanish man, so to prevent you from cussing at me from your computer, I have stated that. However, the millions of illegals that have come to America, refuse to learn it. They don't talk to their children in English. They don't try to learn enough to live here. They want America to become Spanish. They want US to conform to THEIR way of life.

The Mexican President had the audacity to say out loud the other day that Arizona was going to mistreat illegals and that what they were doing was wrong...Are you freaking kidding me? This guy is a clown to start with, but for him to criticize America for defending her borders and trying to get our country under control is a joke. He can't control his own country. Mexico's laws on the books for people coming to their country illegally gives an offender 10 years in prison, no questions asked. If you are caught, you go to prison for going over there without permission.

In America, they are held, fed, loaded on a bus and shipped back to Mexico, all at America's expense. Just in time for them to get connected with another mule to bring them back across.

We are stupid in America! We have listened to the garbage about Americans don't want to do the work the Mexicans will do. We can't live without them here...all of that old crap. I think America is spoiled. I think the jackasses who have been allowed to preach that junk should be shot. We have created our own hell in America because we wanted to sit around and let someone else do the hard work. We were trying to be movie stars and famous ball players. We didn't want to get our hands dirty working in fields or kitchens or hotels.

Now the economy is in the toilet. We are struggling and yet the illegal aliens are working and sending their money home to Mexico. They used their ITINS to file taxes and get great big income tax refunds this year. They continue to have children at the expense of our taxpayer dollars and get food stamps and many other perks.

Their kids go to school free. They eat lunches free. We pay for that, if we are working at anything and paying taxes. I would never begrudge a child education or food. I do begrudge these people coming here and acting entitled. I do begrudge the assumption that Americans won't work at these jobs. I begrudge the catering to the illegals such as places like HR Block who based their finances on how many illegals would come in last year for ITINS. I lost my job because I didn't speak Spanish.

I also begrudge their lack of concern for Mexico. They leave there because it is such a crap hole place to live, poorly governed and poorly operated. Then they come here, stealing jobs from Americans, but send their money back home. How can they claim loyalty to America, when they want it to change to Mexico? They continue to live in America just as poorly as they did in Mexico.

This is America. It is time to make English our National Language. It is time to put Americans back to work. It is time to get back to reality and to keeping our country, OUR COUNTRY! Did you know that at the rate of illegal immigration growing and the already huge Spanish population, in 10 years, THEY will be the Majority in America. Then it will be Mexico North. Not America anymore!

Our Government, as always is playing games. They are only worried about the re-elections and the money these people bring to their campaigns. If they just talk nice to the Mexicans, they can get re-elected. Don't rock the boat again, right now. Wait until later to say how you feel. That is John McCain all day long. He changes with every election wind. So our Government isn't going to do anything.

God Bless you in Arizona. Y'all are a fine example to the rest of America. Good for the Governor candidate in Alabama. I hope other states will follow Arizona's lead. It is time to take our country back from this long term invasion. It is time to let these people know, If you are not willing to follow our laws and come here the right way, you will be sent back. You will be considered a criminal. It is illegal to come here without the proper procedure.

In the year of the new American Revolution, this is the perfect year to set the rules for the future with this. I would hope the Federal Government would find their balls and do something. Withstanding a miracle, this will not happen. Stand up America....Stand up American States! Lets stop the madness with this worn out immigration subject. Let's take the ball and show the Feds how it gets done the right way.

  • Americans will do work that illegals do!
  • English should be our National Language
Did you know that an illegal alien can get a number from the IRS that allows them to get a tax refund, some as high as $7,000?

    This is a tough issue and I'm not sure how it should be handled. Arizona does have to do something as they are a border state and I think asking for an i.d. is okay.

    Miller, are you Indian or Spanish? My grandmother was full blooded Cherokee Indian. My husband is Spanish from Panama. If the Federal Government did their job, EVERY state would already be doing what Arizona is doing. The laws are already on the books at the Federal level. Racial profiling may be the only way to get the law in gear.Sorry that it is a color as well. My husband has been strip searched everytime we have flown somewhere. Isn't that the same thing? The situation is too far out of control. There are no easy answers, but there has to be answers....NO Doubt!

    So Come here LEGALLY...NOT ILLEGALLY..DON'T ASK FOR RIGHTS, IF YOU CIRCUMVENTED THE PROCESS RIGHTLY. DON'T EXPECT US TO CATER TO YOU...SPEAK ENGLISH OR GO HOME. GET A GREEN CARD OR TAKE YOUR BUTT HOME...IF YOU AIN'T HERE LEGALLY...GO YOUR BUTT HOME.

    Are you kidding me?
    Stop invasion?
    I guess that a native american asking us ; white people who came from europe to stop the invasion
    It must say also
    don't kill us and our entier families and after that don't have the courage to claim the land as yours.
    that is the only invasion I know.

    Walk while brown should not be a crime;
    how they know who is reasonable suspiciosof being ilegal?
    Cause they are brown and look like mexicans or latinos.
    Ilegal inmigraion should not be a excuse to race profile and discriminate people.
    Federal goverment should do their job and stop ignoring the facts.
    But two wrongs don't make a rigth....
    Inform yourself about who is behind of this racist law.
