Guys, this situation is so much more complicated than just stopping people and checking ID’s.
Before all of you get upset when the phrase “racial profiling” is brought up, hear me out.
We all agree that illegal immigration is a huge problem and has been a problem for decades.
You have different facets for the illegals: the majority is here to make a better living and the others are criminals.
Everybody is saying the Fed Gov is not doing its job and these are coming from your governors and senators. Are they not part of the Fed Govt? Why haven’t they done anything before?
As a black woman I am very aware and have experience with “racial profiling” and so have members of my family. I do not know if you understand what it feels like to be stopped for no other reason but the police think that you are up to something. But this is a big aspect of this new bill. They already had something similar; they just added this new twist.
For the illegals that are here to work, how are they working? Who is employing them? You can’t put all your hatred and disgusted feelings on them, employers here in the United States have employed them.
The Pima county sheriff of 52 years gives several reasons why this is a bad idea. No one is disputing the fact that these people are breaking the law, but like I said, it’s so much more complicated than that.
The ones to blame are the people who have continued to allow this to happen all these years: politicians, police and civilians alike. The people who come here illegally are equally to blame but all should not be placed on them.
Have you noticed that the majority of attention is being placed on immigration when our economy is still in the tank and the Wall Street thing is going on? These guys wrecked our economy and like it or not, the immigrants have been here and wasting our time and energy on this subject is just what they want to keep us from getting to the bottom of these crooks.
If you notice, a lot of people are very emotional about this situation and politicians are very good at going for your emotions.
I’ve read the statute and it is does not clearly say that the police can only check your papers if you are legally stopped. There are so many loopholes in that thing that it can be very much abused.
But that’s not my main purpose for writing this big ole paragraph.
We, the citizens of the United States of America have bigger problems that we need to focus on and get our country back into shape.
While this is only some of the views of this topic, please let me know what are yours.
Thanks for reading
