Illegal Immigration

Arizona is currently the target of celebrities, cities, and even baseball teams since a law has been passed to enable law enforcement to be able to distinguish the legals and the illegals who walk the streets of Arizona.

The emotional reaction to this is uncalled for in my opinion since laws are supposed to be respected and enforced. The fact that America appears to be the rich neighbor attracts the poor of the neighboring nations south of the border, and it has become a very serious problem.

When I was teaching in Azusa, where we were half and half, Anglo and Mexicans, many illegal and unable to speak English, we have had this as a problem. Californians have a very strange attitude about which laws to enforce, and it is a very serious matter, like it or not.

LaRaza and Lulac, both Mexican American groups, have pledged to overtake the USA by numbers, and this has been ongoing since the 60's, and nothing has been done to prevent it.

Americans have been ostrichs with their heads in the sand. The nerve of the President of Mexico blaming the USA for the drug cartels as he said most recently that were it not for the demand for drugs by the USA the suppliers would not be making life so rough for Mexico.

I believe that provisions could be made for migrant workers to go to and fro between the two nations with ease so that the Mexicans could continue to live in Mexico, but work and earn the American dollar to pay for their peso built homes and communities.

This is all about the American dollar. American business is the guilty party here, undercutting the unions who tried to make life bearable for the laborer, and who have hired from cheap labor pools, mostly Mexican and Central Americans. The Democrats truly let their constituents down when they espouse such a thing as amnesty.

Americans do have to wake up. It is not too late, but the fact that Arizona is making news for showing courage and fortitude is no reason for cities in California, celebrities who know nothing about it but are playing dirty pool, and baseball teams to get caught up in a dispute that affects everyone in North America, including Canada.

The politicians have let the people down. It is time for this problem to be solved for everyone everywhere.
