So, You Dislike Arizona's New Immigration Policy?

@ PlumpRump: Dude, dude, dude, dude...it's not Italy, nor Switzerland, nor Australia, nor Japan nor the UAE...it's the fucking United States of America. Big difference, even if you don't notice.

Pfft, how are you gonna notice, you're American! :tongue:

...living conditions are often harsh, including 80-hour work weeks, back-breaking manual labor, and below-minimum-wage pay. It's not atypical for immigrants to live in "tiny pre-fabricated huts, 12 men to a room, forced to wash themselves in filthy brown water and cook in kitchens next to overflowing toilets."

Sounds very close to many illegals' situations I have personally seen...6-10 single men sharing a 1 bedroom apt, or 3 families to a small 1 bedroom rundown apt, dirty and very Mexico-like; babies unsupervised in diapers barefoot playing in areas where sewer overflow gathers, school children living in a small space trying to do schoolwork in an impossible setting (think they help the grade point average of their class/school?), men getting drunk for a cheap good time surrounded by children, teens, and the inevitable sad looking pet dog someone gets to be more "American". Nice truck nearby, and every lame plastic (mostly) broken toy with some comic character or other on it Walmart sells laying around everywhere, all in the name of "trying to have a better life"...right.
The Coyotes do all right, this is true. So do small private car lots, the ones with weekly payment plans; liquor stores, Dollar Stores, Mexican Clubs...they get their share for sure.
It gives a whole new life to slumlords, who were having a hard time getting by before the massive illegal tide rolled in.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here, and guess HM, the "slow" Charlie Hustle, most of you pro-illegal types... have never been over for a beer with too many illegals. Just guessing, from the ignorant and clueless way you talk about them...
They need to go in massive numbers, it's a lose-lose situation as long as we allow the situation to exist.
Slave laborers live live slaves, and bring their ignorance with them along with various diseases (resistant TB is my personal favorite:thumbsup:)...

Thank you Arizona...:bowdown:
 
My problem with the law isn't so much what the law wants to do. I also don't have an ethical problem with the result the law wants to achieve. What I have a problem with is the very vague and unspecified standard of what constitutes reasonable cause for a law enforcement official to suspect somebody is illegal. It just lends too many potential shady things to happen from law enforcement officials, and will just lead to too many ridiculous situations happening to innocent people that defy common sense. I have a problem with them just assuming somebody might be illegal just because of their race. Unless an official just happens to fall upon extremely good evidence I don't see how this law can be enforced like people think it should be. If they change it to implement it properly I don't see the law being effective at all in a practical sense. I also have a problem with assuming everybody is always going to be carrying around some form of proper identification at all times. It seems like a well intended law that was poorly thought out and will have a lot of negative consequences because of that. They need to strictly work the law out more to indicate in what situations somebody should be suspected.




They're illegals and technically have no rights outside of maybe some treaties we have signed and what we chose to give them.

Every person within our borders a afforded basic rights (against crimes, etc.) irrespective of legal status.

But I agree, under the grounds permitted by this law, how do we know who deserves rights without first having violated them? In other words, there is no possible way to isolate the application of this law to only illegals. A fact many here STILL have their heads in the clouds about.

I'll give you this analogous example;

The law seeks to stop drunk drivers but just because that's true LE still may not arbitrarily stop every car on the road in order to make sure drivers aren't drunk. The only time LE may is at specifically announced checkpoints designed to target areas.

Even if LE sees you leaving a bar (a circumstance where a person has likely been drinking)...they still may not stop you without specific suspicion or probable cause you (versus a man simply leaving a bar) are under the influence based on some specific thing you did or failed to do in their presence. You could simply work at the bar or could have drank but not be legally impaired.

Point is, in our country the g'ment needs more than some general suspicion. It needs a specific suspicion and a specific probable cause to detain and interrogate individuals.
 
Point was it doesn't really matter what other country's do since we all have our own laws and protections. Whether they even live up to their law and rights or not is even less relevant.

Bringing up how draconian, absurd or encroaching some laws are someplace else is irrelevant unless you want the US to be like that. In that case it'd be easier to just go live in the place you would like the US to emulate. <Hoping you get the ironic joke...

As I said before, I wasn't making a point about how those "country's," as you so eloquently put it, relate to the United States, I was simply posting scenarios that exist in other countries relative to immigrants and their rights/treatment etc. You were the one who asked how the governing documents of those countries resemble or relate to those of the US Constitution, and I posted some examples. And as far as bringing up what you claim to be "irrelevant" facts, I agree, were I focused solely on US immigration policy generally, and Arizona's immigration policy specifically, that would indeed be irrelevant. But, again, I was not concentrating on the comparisons, but rather posting a simple list of other countries' immigration policies.

@ PlumpRump: Dude, dude, dude, dude...it's not Italy, nor Switzerland, nor Australia, nor Japan nor the UAE...it's the fucking United States of America. Big difference, even if you don't notice.

See above.

Pfft, how are you gonna notice, you're American! :tongue:

Interesting that you crack on an American for focusing on policies that have no relevance in America. I guess being a stupid ethnocentric American now encompasses those individuals that attempt to discuss policies that have no relation to, or impact on America. Guess I misunderstood that definition.

So this is what you imagine living as an illegal alien is like? Wow. Seriously...wow.

By the way, did you ever look up the facts about illegal immigrants and how little they drain from economy and how much they actually put in? Of course you didn't, but fear not, Google is your friend.
 
I'm sure, IF your figures are correct, that these same Hispanic "supporters" fully understand the extent and effect of the law. Try asking these people the same question I asked in my last post: How would you like to be stopped and hassled regularly from here on out?

Your assuming that what the media is speculating about is going to come to fruition. I mean what proof do they have that any of the situations their promoting of profiling is actually happening? I'm being profiled as a terrorist without a jury or a court of law by the media and the regime, because I am unhappy of taxes getting worse. But back on topic the media has been effective of scaring the rest of the country with what could happen? Without any actually event taking place........because they are wrong.

Yeah, look at the good times your state of CA is enjoying. CA went from the world's 8th largest economy to broke in 1 generation. Coincidence? :rolleyes:

At least you have company in your extreme ignorance...bbwlover has joined you. Why notice all the facts printed, posted, and put out there for the public over the last several years? :rolleyes:
You are the most ignorant poster in the thread...that's normal. You have no clue about what you're talking about...as usual.

But:
What part of "my personal experience" was too complicated or intellectually advanced for you to comprehend?
Should I use less syllables and smaller words to help you with comprehension (or: will easy words help you to get it?)?

As I said, you have no clue what the illegal experience is like, and just spout lame crap you make up as you go along...as usual.:sleep::sleep::sleep:

Actually, I fully understand. My dad's side is Mexican, who immigrated to America. Immigration isn't some paper you sign and then BAM! you're legal. It took years and years and years for them to finally become a citizen. They applied for citizenship and didn't get it for another 10-15 years. My grandpa was probably the hardest worker I've ever known, so yes, I know a thing or two about a thing or two. You've never experienced it. Ever.

More BS, and I don't believe you ever had any contact with illegals, Mexican or otherwise.
I really have family who share genetics with Mexico, as well as YEARS of 1 on 1 being in hundreds of illegal's homes, working with them, and living in Mexico and Guatemala ; and your crap is so far from reality I can tell you're lying.
Not that having a relative who immigrated years ago has a damn thing to do with wetbacks and border jumpers...you once again come through with transparent and excessively lame BS...!:thumbsup:
 
No, seriously, answer the question. Why would I possibly lie about that?

Are you one of those people who laugh when they're nervous?

Speaking of which...

Studies of these costs were done in the 1990s by the Urban Institute and by Dr. Donald Huddle, a Rice University economics professor. Both studies found major net costs — after subtracting for taxes collected — associated with illegal immigration. In 1996 the National Academies of Science issued a report titled “The New Americans,” that studied the economic and fiscal impact of immigration — they did not differentiate between legal and illegal immigrants. That study found that, “In the short term, today’s immigrants impose costs on some state and local governments by using more in government services than they pay in taxes… In some states, this burden can be substantial: In California, for example, the panel calculates an additional annual tax burden of $1,178 per household headed by a U.S. native.”

...fiscal cost studies for California, Arizona, Texas and Florida looking at the same cost factors studied by the Urban Institute 10 years earlier, i.e., education, emergency medical care and incarceration. Our findings of the annual net fiscal costs were:

California $8.8 billion ($1,183 per native household)
Arizona $1.03 billion ($717 per native household)
Texas $3.73 billion ($725 per native household)
Florida4 $.91 billion ($315 per native household)

These studies were done in 2004 and 2005, and the rapid continuing increase in the illegal immigrant population in each of these states would result in higher estimates of the fiscal cost today.

According to the 2000 Census, there were a total of 11,502,870 households in CA, up from 10,381,206 in 1990. Showing an increase of apx. 1.1%. Extrapolating from that information, we can reasonably assume that with the 2010 census we will see CA with an approximate total of 12,745,726 households (based on the previously seen 1.1% increase) accounting for an ANNUAL extra cost to CA taxpayers of $15.1 billion.

As far as Arizona is concerned, the 2000 Census shows a total of 1,901,327 households, up from the 1990 number of 1,368,843 (apx. a 1.4% increase). So it follows that the 2010 Census will reveal a total of somewhere around 2.64 millions homes, accounting for roughly $1.9 billion in extra taxpayer burden YEARLY.

And I don't really think that a cost that great is offset by illegal immigrants "putting into the economy" with the purchase of food, clothing, etc.

(And these dollar amounts are based on the calculated fiscal cost numbers used in the 2004-05 reports. The actual costs per household may well indeed be higher than that for FY 2010. Not to mention to fact that the study didn't differentiate between illegal and legal immigrants, which would actually drag down the study's number for total fiscal burden, due to the inclusion of legal immigrants who pay taxes.)

So I am going to go out on a limb here and say that there are indeed very real costs involved with illegal immigration into the United States.
 
@ PlumpRump: I understood the point you were trying to make, and yes, you are right. The laws that America is implementing now aren't the sort of laws that haven't been heard off before. Many other countries, besides the ones you offered, have the same laws. What I'm trying to say, is that, even though the results on those countries are great, and no one really blames them, the results will be different simply because it is the USA, which is the number one country that everybody wants to migrate too (not just mexicans).

People don't want to migrate to Japan/Italy/Australia and etc, these aren't the lands where "dreams come true"...people want to go to the country they see in movies and stuff, where everything is perfect (hollywood's fault).

I do understand how fucked up it must to have thousands and millions of foreigners enter your country just to take advantage of services, that you as a citizen pay for with your taxes. That's something I don't find funny, and it's unfair. Although these facts are still shrouded in some mystery, after all, it seems no one really knows how much of a burden the illegals are on the economy anyway.

But what I'm getting at, is the fact Arizona shouldn't have gone about this in this way, because this will bring many consequences that the American people shouldn't have to face. Things won't simply go smoothly as many people think it's gonna go. There's no telling what or how the illegals that are in this country and in danger will respond to that, we could be talking about higher criminality rates! And Mexican's president will be backing them up possibly, after all he's also against that law. Not to mention, that the measures being taken will not diminish the number of immigrants trying to get into this country.

What I'm saying is that things could escalate into something really big...perhaps too big. That's what I'm saying. Simply because, the image America has is too powerful compared to even China/Russia/Japan which are countries that are supposed to be as awesome as the USA.

PS: And there are still some other factors that I see but feel I'm not qualified to talk about.

IMO there are a lot of illegal immigrants who contribute more to this country than regular citizens. It's all about circumstance. If you're born here then congrats, you're a citizen.
