The Illegal Immigration Thread

[faxman75]

This story isn't going away any time soon so I am starting a thread for all illegal immigration chatter. I know there are a large number of boardies that live in border states as well.

Here's the AZ bill that was just signed into law.


http://www.azleg.gov/legtext/49leg/2r/bills/sb1070s.pdf


Apparently I.C.E. is going to play ball and start enforcing the federal law that was ignored for so long as well.

Abdon was told he did not have enough paperwork on him when he pulled into a weigh station to have his commercial truck checked. He provided his commercial driver’s license and a social security number but ended up handcuffed.

An agent called his wife and she had to leave work to drive home and grab other documents like his birth certificate.

Jackie explains, “I have his social security card as well and mine. He’s legit. It’s the first time it’s ever happened.”

Both were born in the United States and say they are now both infuriated that keeping important documents safely at home is no longer an option.

Jackie says, “It doesn’t feel like it’s a good way of life, to live with fear, even though we are okay, we are legal…still have to carry documents around.”

A representative at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) returned 3TV’s calls after researching the incident and she said this was standard operating procedure.

I'm also wondering how the police are going to have the time to figure out who is illegal and isn't when they pull over a family of mexicans.

It's also worth noting a drivers license will not be sufficiant in proving citzenship.

Boycott Arizona. srsly. teach the mormon fascists a lesson.

[JustSteve]

i think the city of san francisco already has plans to do so. boycotting any non-critical supplies that come from the state.

[PlayaDelWes]

Aren't there enough gatecrasher threads already? It's like walking around the polo fields without a wristband.

Don’t you think it’s a little hypocritical of everyone to cry for more security to stop people from sneaking into our concert illegally, but when it comes to someone else’s state, all the sudden we’re all up in arms? Wear your goddam wristband you you’ll be fine.

Maybe GV could learn a thing or two from Arizona.

[faxman75]

Steve, what sense does that make? Why punish an Arizona business for something our unelected governor signed into law?

[marooko]

Get legal.

And I'd imagine an "unelected" governor would be a more important issue.

The motivation for sneaking into Coachella and sneaking into the US are completely different. Generally one is for fun and the other is a bit more serious. I don't claim to know a ton about immigration or immigration law, but shit's not as black and white as some make it out to be.

Not really. She had to step in when Janet went to Washington. It just adds insult to injury.

i'm just posting what i heard on the news a couple nights ago. i didn't add any commentary on how i felt.

*shrugs* this is truth

I gotcha. So I take it the commentary failed to address that issue.

ha ha ha look at these idiots!

[rasooli]

where is the murder capital (your location)?

Richmond?
Compton?
Indio?
Detriot?

[faxman75]

Phoenix is the kidnapping capital in this country. Those in favor of this bill use this as an argument for it.

[corbo]

Arizona, you are fucking lame. that is all.

[rasooli]

being the kidnapping capital and the murder capital are two completely different things....

[faxman75]

You don't say?

Does this mean we can't hold the Arizona Diamondbacks responsible for murder?

[BlackSwan]

Fucking Arizona. There is a way to do this without taking away people's rights... Enforce the law that makes it illegal to hire illegal immigrants. Target the employers, not the employees.

[brando4n82]

I'm not touching this thread with a 40 foot pole

[amyzzz]

Oh yeah... All that violence and kidnapping leaking in from Mexico. I don't agree with the law, but that is a strong argument for it. Some rancher recently got murdered, supposedly by a Mexican illegal, and I think that incident is also fanning the flames.

[TomAz]

Only Mexicans commit crimes. Let's deport them all.

There's a strong argument for a law; there's not a strong argument for giving Joe's henchmen the ability to racially profile and arrest legal citizens of this country. (See truck driver issue above).

This law does nothing to address the border violence issue.

[guedita]

Requiring people to carry around their immigration documents at all times is fucking ridiculous.

Good for them.

[Gribbz]

Good for them.

Yeah... Tucson is pretty much a blue town in a red state.

[faxman75]

Requiring people to carry around their immigration documents at all times is fucking ridiculous.

Especially when those documents along with Social Security cards are always supposed to be kept in a safe place. Identity thefts may go up as well as kidnappings. Being a legal documented or natural born Mexican is really going to suck. Just imagine how much of a hot commodity your papers will be and knowing you have them on you is going to make you a target not just for the cops but for the illegals who want steal indentities so they can appear legal.

[daxton]

Maybe we can just get chips implanted when we get SSNs. That'll solve everything!
