If you are here legally, you should have no need to worry. So, I fail to see what is wrong with the bill
Yeah, Luigi I agree. That pesky little document called the US Constitution gets in the way.
Yeah, it's amazing how smart those old dead white guys were.
Not only does it keep the "radical left-wing commie pinkos" from socializing the entire US Govt, it also prevents the "right-wing nazi religious nut-jobs" from rounding up everyone for deportation.
Kind of ironic really. That a Republican Governor would sign this.
My prediction:
It will never stand up in court.
What say you Maximus?
Gumtech said:...steal SS #'s, don't pay taxes, etc.
Being here in this country is illegal. Illegal doesn't mean race, it means AGAINST THE LAW.
Why would they "steal SS#'s if they don't pay taxes? I thought the SS# was used to get a job, and that job will deduct FICA and Medicare taxes from their paychecks. They will never collect those retirement benefits, therefore they are contributing money with no hope of collecting. They also are paying state sales taxes on everything they buy, so although they may not be paying INCOME taxes (just like 49% of legal American citizens), they are paying other taxes.
Are you aware that the rights guaranteed under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to US Constitution extend even to those here illegally?
When the Amendment was proposed, they could have easily used the word "citizens" instead of "persons" but they did not. Thus, even a person here illegally is entitled to due process and equal protection under our laws.
Don't like it? Repeal the 14th.
Unless you live here in Arizona, most of you have no idea what it is like. iIllegals drive down wages, most don't have auto insurance (which DH found out when one rear-ended him), get free health care, steal SS #'s, don't pay taxes, etc. NEED I GO ON? Being here in this country is illegal. Illegal doesn't mean race, it means AGAINST THE LAW.
However, this board is for the service academies, so we need to stay on track....or at least I will. Good day all!
I say it was a brilliant move by the Republican Governor, make Obama address this issue on the federal level. America needs to protect her borders and if the Feds sit on their hands, push the issue the media wont, we're in election season and time to get the issues out there
. They have to realize that the stereotyping of Hispanics is a result of such an influx of illegal immigrants from Mexico/Latin America and its just something they'll have to deal with.
