Someone didnt get the memo  

i think the president needs to get some air time and tell "exactly" what the new law states, how can lawyers and advocasy groups sitting in an air conditioned office in some other state besides arizona know whats going on unless they live there and see first hand what the people of the state of arizona are going through. these armchair groups are pathetic little people with nothing else to do but start something they no nothing about. i myself think arizona made the right move with the new law, because obviously the federal gov't doesn't care how many criminals cross over and drug dealers are there killing police and innocent people adults and children in cross fires between cartels and police. wake up america because your town could be next.

these people's arrogance astounds me. They are basically saying that they don't care about our laws...they are going to do what they want anyway. They don't care about our immigration laws. They will violate them anyway. They don't respect our country. Our laws..or the citizens of this country. So why should we care about them? Why should we give them amnesty? Why allow people who do not respect this country citizenship? We have EVERY right to have immigration laws. We have every right to enforce them. If you can't come here legally...don't come.
I don't feel sorry for any of them. if they are here illegally tehy should be deported and we need to close our borders to stop them from coming here illegally. We need to crack down on poeple who employ them. If they can't make the "dollars" they love so much they will leave.
Who are they to say what our laws should be. They are not citizens of this country. They don't get a say in how our country is run. It ticks me off that they think we "owe" them anything. They are criminals.

I don't mind if people come and shop and go home, after they shop. I just don't want them coming and staying/working without permission/documentation of that permission. We'll see if the new law works. I hope it does. And the advocate groups can go to...well, keep on advocating for all I care.

Nicasio Benitez says he crosses the border only for dollars and as long as someone will hire him, he will continue to live and work in America even though it's awful. Since Nicasio Benitez thinks "Life there is awful...", why doesn't Arizona put him out of his misery? Right there is the problem. The law should be going after those who hire illegals. There should be a financial disadvantage in hiring them whether it's a hefty fine, the loss of a license, jail time or all three.

Maybe the reason the "advocate groups" are making a stink is because this law puts illegals in our minds. If nothing is being said about illegals, who thinks about them? They can go on about their lives with no one taking much if any notice of them, but when a state like Arizona (a border state) makes an issue of them, then we all start thinking about them and what they are costing us. In times like these, knowing that employers are hiring people who are here illegally and who dislike us (but love our money and social programs) rather than unemployed citizens, really flies all over us.

I wasn't alive during the Civil Rights or Women's Rights movements, so I missed out on legitimate injustice being corrected (albeit still in process) with the involvement of both the victim and victim advocates. But I'm willing to take a guess in saying that advocate groups today are definitely more upset than the groups they're advocating for.

I think it's because most people realize that Klansmen aren't running around in hoods and hanging black men, and there aren't any men at the voting booths keeping women away or with a megaphone in their offices shouting that they're destroying the American family.

And there aren't cops running around Arizona like zee Germanz demanding to see people's papers because they're not down with the brown.

New-age advocacy groups (politicians that can't get elected) do these things for a living. They get the people most likely to be involved with these types of issues involved.

Sharpton's freedom walkers walk at his command. The same news people feigning outrage about this have also been calling everyone racists or extremists since Obama got elected. The same average Joe and Jane uberupset now are in the progressive pocket and performing a soundcheck in the echo chamber to make sure the song is loud enough so no other tune can be heard.

It's all the same folks either upset or trying to make other folks upset. It's exploiting people and trying to extort them into bending.

It's the amnesty criers and the open borders crowd and the hypocritical humanitarians and the charlatans needing to pay their rent trying to turn law into fascism so things go back to the way they were.

It's how it always is these days. They're threatening to make the plight of true victims and the fight for justice pointless.

One by one, people decide they won't come charging up the hill to see the wolf that's never there.

yes

Illegal aliens, no matter what country they come from, obviously don't care about our laws. Therefore, any laws direct at the illegals, whether or not enforced, won't keep illegal aliens from coming into our country, especially when we have so much to offer and their own countries have so little. You can't blame them.

So, the laws that need to be on the books and enforced are ones that penalize with huge fines, anyone who gives illegals work. Illegals should, also, not be able to benefit from our welfare system. If we would make it unattractive for illegals to be in this country, they'll go home or go through the proper channels to become citizens. The worse thing we could do is to give them amnesty, but I'm afraid that's what's going to happen.

If our government gives the illegals amnesty, they need to enact the Fair Tax, which is a consumption tax, so everyone who makes a purchase in this country will be paying into our tax system whether they like it or not.
