Arizona Immigration Law

In an article about the immigration policies of the State of Arizona, Jonathan J. Cooper for the Associated Press, writes the emotions and ideas of several police units across the US. Police Chief Thomas Manger of Montgomery County, MD, says,"If they're not committing a crime here, frankly, I'm not sure how it enhances public safety to target those people for removal,". What the heck. They are committing a crime just by being here. The crime here is not being Mexican, it is having entered a country without going through the proper channels.

To the illegal immigrant; What makes you better than Jose Miguels, who waiting the necessary time to get his paperwork in order and enter legally? Are your needs more pressing than his? Personally, I think it to be a selfish act to enter illegally. You are making it harder on your fellow Hispanics who ARE here legally. This law is not the white man against the brown. Do not turn this into a racial thing! It is not. There are a certain group of people who are entering ILLEGALLY. ILLEGALLY. Did I stress that word enough? They will be targeted. If the lawful legal Hispanic citizens don't want to be asked to see their proof of residency, then how about you turn to your countrymen and say,"Oye! Que estas haciendo!" Tell them to go through the legal channels and stop causing them problems!

Good for you ma'am. Don't run, just show your papers. If you are illegal, oops, there's that word again, you will go back to where you came from. I like what Mark Spencer (president of the Phoenix Law Enforcement Association) says: "Crime is not based upon skin color, it's based upon conduct," That is 100% correct.
