OHHH so it comes out. Because you are Hispanic, these laws upsets you? That would explain why you are getting all Jesse Jackson in this thread. You need to think logically and quit getting all EMO in this thread.
I am Latin, my grandfather was the 1st Hispanic in the US to own a radio station in Texas. I got through college with 2 degrees and through law school with the help of hispanic scholarships. Im not talking $500, im talking over $40K+ for being a latin student. Being Latin got me an education that i may not been able to get otherwise.
So, i do know where you are coming from. It kinda sux to think of your family members being fucked with by the police because they are brown skinned. But things need to change. Sacrifices need to be made.
States are going broke. There are some serious drains on our state economies because of all of the people that are here illegally. Kicking people out that dont belong here is a good start.
Do you think that good Arab+Muslim people like getting singled out in the airport? Fuck no, but surfaces need to be made there too. The airport is one place where Blacks and Mexicans will never be singled out for being a suspected terrorist.

So true.
Funny story: I was at Kino Flo in Burbank Ca. picking up a a few lights from repair 2 weeks ago. I have know all of the warehouse workers and different managers for about 8 years. I speak spanish to them and drop them all off porn DVDs. As a result i get my lights fixed fast and usually for free. Even when out of warranty. Great group of guys.
So the subject of the AZ immigration law came up and everyone thought it was fucked up and racist. So i asked them how much do you guys make an hour? $18+? My question was this "How would you feel if your White bosses called you up to the office and told you guys, you need to get your pay cut to $9 an hour because we have all of these new applicants that will do your job for $9 an hour and they are willing to start today if you say no"
I told them to keep in mind, you move boxes and anybody can be trained to do that.
All 6 of them said thats fucked up! Then i told them that Kino Flo can easily go down the street to the Home Depot parking lot and start a bidding war for your job positions. Kino Flo will easily be able to cut their warehouse budget in half, in one day.
So then i said fuck it!, lets git rid of the AZ law and give all of the illegals amnesty starting next month. We will pick a day 30 days from now and make everyone in this country legal.
How many more are gonna head over to our country when we make that amnesty announcement i asked? To further that, how many more are gonna keep coming, knowing that we give out amnesty every 10 years? Now with all of these guys with their new work permits granted by our new Amnesty laws and now looking for a job, how safe is your job now???
After i left all of these guys were pretty concerned with what i said and definitely had a different view of immigration and all of the laws pertaining to it.
